Kolkata short trip, December 2007

     I visited kolkata in December 2007 on my way back, when I had gone for the YHAI trek to Sandakphu, West Bengal (Darjeeling). In Kolkata, I  stayed at Mr. Partha's place, whom I first met on the same YHAI trek. I visited Belur Math, Dakshineshwar Temple, Howrah Bridge, Victoria Memorial hall, Science city etc. I did not get to interact with many localities, though. I had delicious Bengali fish preparations by Mrs. Partha (I call her Jyotiji). That was the best part of my Kolkata stay. :-) Great company and visit to nice places made my trip memorable.

     While roaming in  Kolkata, during my one and a half days stay, I clicked few snaps and took short videos. Later, I compiled a short video about places I visited in Kolkata and added a nice soundtrack in the background. Here is the video.

Pune trip

     I went to Pune for some personal work last week. I was just going to return after meeting my relatives and finishing my work. But on the day I returned, in the morning, actually early afternoon, my cousin took me to see three of the four famous dams nearby Pune. We visited 'Khadakwasla', 'Panshet' and 'Varasgaon' dams. It was just after the rain, partially cloudy and unusually cold at 12.00 pm. Overall, pleasant atmosphere. We roamed around panshet sinhagad area for 4 hours. Amazing short trip. I could click few snaps in that trip with Minolta S414. :)
