Kolkata with Varun!

Luckily, I was fully recovered from the bad momos in Darjeeling, just in time for a full weekend of eating/partying. That weekend was full of events: multiple weddings, multiple receptions, multiple parties, a prayer for a new house, and company dinner - this doesn't even include any of the sightseeing, scheduled brunches/dinners, and afternoon teas. Varun had quite the social calendar! Thanks for letting me tag along for part of it!

 One hour after I arrived at the train station in Kolkata, Varun took me to a prayer for the contruction of their new family home. It's a once in a lifetime experience for anyone to see this - it's not every day that someone builds a new home.
 Victoria Memorial, which was finished 20years after Queen Victoria's death.
 The Chinatown in India is in Kolkata. There isn't much to see, but it was an interesting read finding out how Chinese people ended up in India. Wikipedia Link
 Princep Ghat: In its early years, it was a major embarkation/disembarkation for the British in India.
