Dear readers,
May 31st., 2007 to June 25th., 2007 I took a vacation from work and visited India and my home town Kolkata.
Here is a brief of some of the places I visited.
City Centre, Salt Lake City- Really a cool place to hang out. Inox is good.
Forum- Another cool place. Inox is good.
Hakka Restaurant, City Centre- Average. Good decor but I wasn't really impressed with the food.
La Terrasse, Grand Hotel- Splendid. Loved it.
Eden Pavillion, Sonar Bangla- Ok. Excellent Decor but didn't get too impressed with the food.
Dakshineshwar Kali Bari- As usual my favourite place from childhood. Had a darshan of Maa on Amavasya (pure coincidence). Did a pradikshin of the dwadash shiva lingas (used to do it from childhood). Loved the renovated decor of the mandir. Did Maha Mantra kirtan with devotees. Visited Krishna mandir and Thakur's room. As usual it was an experience beyond words.
Tara peeth- Suddenly decided to visit Tara peeth. Took an A/C chair car ticket and went to Rampurhat. Had a car take me to Tara peeth. I was extremely lucky to have a "onabrito" darshan of Maa's "prokrito" rupa.
Spent a lot of time with family and near and dear ones.
In short my home visit after 2.5 years was a great experience. I loved it!
Regards,
Souvik
