Scenes from Gariahat, Calutta!

It is always a pleasure to visit good old Calcutta… I guess people who have been born and brought up in Calcutta and now stay elsewhere share my sentiment.

I was in Kolkata last week… and, in the midst of catching up with family, managed to find time to take a walk in Gariahat, Calcutta's premier shopping hub. I window-shopped and generally soaked in the scene.

These pictures, taken in Gariahat, will tell their own stories – of men, women and children, shopkeepers, customers, students, walkers… each one contributing to its special ethos.
