What I did this summer!

Wednesday, 7th April - Mumbai - Chennai

Thursday, 8th April Chennai - Delhi

Friday, 9th April Delhi - Kolkata

Saturday, 1oth April - Kolkata - Mumbai

3 days, 3 cities. Was madnessly tiring but fun as a concept. Only wish I had done the 'Golden Quadrilateral' by road and not air. Had to since was travelling on work. The highlights of the trip...

  • The last flight back home was half an hour late, and this was the most on time I got anywhere, averaging between an hour to and hour and half late.
  • Kolkata was 41'c!
  • I ate 4 meals by myself and hence the eating alone at a place phobia has been overcome.
  • I broke a plate at the buffet :/
  • Creepy guy on the flight said he'd add me on facebook. I therefore proceeded to misspell my last name.
  • Lived with her at Kolkata! YAY! :)
  • It turned dark at 6.30 p.m. in the evening at Kolkata whereas Chennai and Delhi were bright as sunshine!
  • I saw a TRAM at Kolkata!

Kolkata was 41 celcius PLUS 95% humidity!! And you went to Park Street!! And wait till you come to Cal in the winters...the weather is awesome - much colder than Bombay ever gets - but it gets dark by 5pm!!
