Tantra, I'm never Goin there Again

Man it's been a while since I did justice to what I had set out to do on this blog. So here's an update from the city of joy. I've got to add its 6 pm and on a Saturday evening I haven't a clue what the F&%# am doing in office especially after getting home a bit past 6 am this morning.

Anyway yesterday after making a hasty exit from our MD's review presentation and I must add it was awesome, we went for the Kolkata Ad Club Awards night at Swabhumi. Apart from the fact that Arnabi the Radio Mirchi RJ who was compeering a completely chaotic awards ceremony and we reached halfway through the show, we made it in time to pick up the coveted Advertiser of the Year award among several others. Once done the floodgates of the Bar were opened and booze flowed and people drank and more booze flowed and more people started getting drunk and need I say more on a typical gathering of Admen spiked with Alcohol to set their creative spirits free and several of them intoxicated with the recognition represented in valuable metals.

Anyway several whiskies’s down, I head for Some Place Else where I met up with some friends and made several more and then we headed out to ROXY where after several beers the dance floor was more or less occupied by us. All that dancing led us to the famed Tantra.

OK believe me if you've heard stories about this place. They're all true and much more. I had heard that women are waiting to be picked up and so was a bit sceptical. But since we were quite a few of us, I took the safety in numbers bait and headed in. Believe it or not in 10 minutes, OK 20 at most, I got to the side of the dance floor with my back to the wall to light up a cigarette. The next thing I know there's a girls dancing in front of me practically giving me a lap dance (well if I was sitting). Imagine that. It doesn't end there, there seemed to be threw of these girls waiting in cue to try their luck.

Anyway shortly after that I was ready to leave and we left.

  2. Hey Sangu, Stags do get in, but you're got to build up equity and become a regular. So I suggest you go there with regulars the first couple of times, then get pally with the guys and they'll let you in.

The 7 Wonders at Eco Park

Pyramid & Sphinx Our last excursion to Eco Park in Rajarhat dates all the way back to February 2015. Since then, a myriad of transformations has swept through the park. During a recent journey to the airport, we caught sight of the park's latest additions, which had become the talk of the town, visible from Biswa Banga Sarani. That sighting ignited our decision to revisit the park. Naturally, we concurred that visiting on a weekend would be an exercise in chaos, so we opted for a weekday to fully savor the wonders that awaited us. To our surprise, even on a weekday, the park teemed with visitors. Upon entering Eco Park for a nominal fee of Rs. 30, we were immediately struck by the sheer value it offered. Personally, I would have willingly paid more for the privilege of glimpsing these marvelous creations. Rather than expound further, I'll let the images convey the essence of what lies within. That being said, it unquestionably merits an in-person visit to truly appreciate ...

AKIRA: A Tiny Japanese Universe in Kolkata

Since we were already out and dinner was calling, we decided to keep things light and find somewhere nearby. A quick search by my wife produced a promising result—a new Japanese place just 9 minutes away , according to Google. Nine minutes? That sounded dangerously convenient. And so off we went to AKIRA , a cute little Japanese cuisine restaurant that is, by almost every definition of the word, tiny . But what it lacks in size, it makes up for in character. The place is done up in Japanese Pop Culture, with Anime and Manga influences everywhere you look. We arrived and, as expected, had to wait a little before we could get in. Which was perfectly fine by me. Because parked outside were two rather handsome motorcycles—a Honda CB350 and a Honda H'ness CB350 . Now, I have a weakness for motorcycles, and apparently, so did the universe that evening. I was admiring the two bikes when the owner of the CB350 appeared. One thing led to another and within seconds we were engaged in that v...

HAL Heritage Centre and Aerospace Museum

I was in Bangalore and this was the only place I actually wanted visit. So here I am taking the tour of India's first aerospace museum located at the HAL facility (opposite the old Bangalore Airport) spread over 4 acres. The displays of actual aircraft are very cool and so are the galleries showing historical pictures and evolution of HAL and its contribution to the nation in Military Aircraft as well as Aerospace. The disappointing thing at the end of the tour was the Gift shop, where I was hoping to find Scale Models of Aircraft and other Memorabilia from the IAF (Indian Air Force), but instead it was a dreary sight to see a shelf which housed Handicrafts! That just didn't make any sense whatsoever. Anyway for those of you who would like to visit this wonderful Museum, the details are below: HF-24 Marut 1T (D1698) IAF MIG-21 Bison (Trainer Version) HAL HJT-36 Sitara (IJT), Intermediate Jet Trainer Prototype. HAL Tejas mock-up (LCA) Light Weight...
