First trip to Kolkata...need help

Orchid · May 22nd, 2007, 05:01

tasuray...you are truly amazing ! I did not think I could ever have managed to do this remotely. Cannot thank you enough. I have sent you a detailed PM.

thx robotvoice...I do like the 5th option...quite enjoy just hanging out and absorbing the vibes of the cities I visit.

Again thanks to all of you India Mike'rs for such great information and Judi, Jyoti and Tasuray for all the PM's we have exchanged. What did we do before internet came into our lives ? None of this would have been possible. Thank you all.

Orchid: Here is the link for the Tollygunge Club in case you didn't have it. I may have to check this out on my trip also

Thx Thoughtcrimes, I have visited the Tolly website and really liked the place. I understand it is not in the city centre, but is connected conveniently via metro.

Orchid · May 22nd, 2007, 10:05

tasuray - we have been following Orchid's search for her relatives. I am really impressed with your success in finding them. Hope the urgency does not indicate that there is a problem.

Hfot2..yes I am indeed very happy that tasuray has actually managed to locate our relatives. I cannot thank him enough. The urgency was to get a response from me as I had not responded to his PM's. Thx for your concern.

Bhai Bhaswaran,
I think your resident is nearer to Dakshineswar or Ariadaha.If you reside near to Jawpur then you will do the same thing which I have done.So no thanks.I can write in Bengali but others will not understand so I write in English.

Bhaswaran · May 22nd, 2007, 12:38

Thanks again Ray. I reside at Behala

Bhaswaran & Tasuray

Sorry, for digressing, but, do you remember Anadi Cabin and the Moghlai paratha? I am joining IIT- KGPas a Professor and would love to visit Kolkata - I have many fond memories since I spent a few years there as child - in Lake terrace.

Cheers

Yes yes ... very much. I have Moglai Paratha from Anandi Cabin just yesterday.. I try to get one whenever I go to Esplande. Although I must admit that the taste has drastically downgraded.

You will have a very nice time at IIT KGP. I grew up in the campus & studied there. Yes Anadi is still there but had seen better days

tasuray · May 22nd, 2007, 13:03

Yes Anadi Cabin is still there, though quality is not like before.I also had it with my father- moglai and kasa mangso.

Nattusbs · May 22nd, 2007, 13:27

Thanks Bhaswaran, Jyotirmoy & Tasuray

3 out of 3 say that Anadi Cabin's Moghlai paratha quality has gone down over the years - I say, we talk to the owner and complain
