Malling till JAB WE MET

I had much more pressing matters to attend to after my visit to the Lawyer’s office. I spent the afternoon into the early evening at a Mall located at Bhowanipore called Merlin HOMELAND. A 5 floor mall dedicated to all home stuff, from paint to flooring, from bedroom to bathroom and kitchen to toilet. Add to that an exclusive 3 floor section dedicated to all things electronic and electrical called E-Zone.

So I’ve got a list of stuff to buy and know what it costs. At one time it seems like a whole lot of money, but then most of us don’t realise what it takes to set up a home and live in the luxury of having things bought of time making our lives comfortable. But here’s another eye opener for those who plan to ever do a spring clean, you’ll realise the amount of junk you have accumulated over the years.

Anyway the hours spent at HOMELAND had me work up an appetite and I ended up going to FORUM where some more window shopping and video games kept me busy till I met up with friends and we ended up at STAR STRUCK a sports bar lounge kind of place. A bit dark for my liking, but good to chill out in their comfy seats over a couple of beers, not to add that its not all that expensive.

Then I picked up tickets for JAB WE MET and I think that was the perfect way to end a long fruitful day. The movie is a must watch and though I had apprehensions about the movie starring Shahid Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor, the movie turned out to be super. I must admit that Kareena has done a splendid job and just as I had raised my opinions about Akshay Kumar a while back, Ms. Kapoor has definitely gone up several notches in my book. The lady can act. The movie is a laugh riot, more so in the first half and though the second half tones down a bit, it’ll keep you glued on. All the songs have a perfect place in the movie and are in sync with the storyline. So all I can say is, if you want to watch an entertaining movie, go catch JAB WE MET.

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 ...

Vintage Car Show 2018 at The Tollygunge Club

1947 MG TC So here we are once more at The Tollygunge Club on a cold winter morning to catch some rare beauties to warm our hearts. I try to catch these every year if possible and after my recent trip and the number of cars I've seen on it, one would think I'd give it a miss. This year's collection had most of the usual cars with an addition of some more to the fray.  What disappointed though was the limited number of super cars on display. But all that said, it's always a joy to see these wonderful gems still being cared for by their owners and offering us a glimpse into automotive history. So with that much said, I hope you'll enjoy the pictures of the cars below. 1947 MG TC 1938 Rolls-Royce 1938 Rolls-Royce 1953 Land Rover 1932 Ford V8 1932 Ford V8 1950 Cadillac V8 1950 Cadillac V8 1950 Cadillac V8 1956 BSA Bantam 1952 Willy's Jeep 1962 Triumph Spitfire 1962 Triumph Spitfire 1925...
