A Road Discovered Between Two Weddings

Last evening wedding season was in full blossom or lest I say more. I had two wedding receptions to attend. The first one was at Udayan the other at the Tollygunge club.

I attended the one at Udayan first and just found out that there's an awesome open air terrace banquet there. The food was awesome and to do justice to both parties, I munched a bit there. The Fish Cutlet was particularly nice.

After that drove down to Tollygunge and discovered a road that cuts through and come out at Jodhpur Park and goes straight to Prince Anwarshah Road. The Road was just off the E.M. Bypass and passed between Avishikta and Spencer’s. It's under the process of becoming a 4-6 lane road, but then we know how long that could take.

Once at Tollygunge Club, the parking was full and the Golf Driving Range at the back was also being used as a car park. There were three functions on last night. One the Women’s Golf Cup Party, another one at the Poolside and the third being the wedding I was attending. It seemed like the who's who of the media and arts fraternity of Kolkata. The decorations were awesome and the food exquisite. I just made do with some Ice-cream and hot chocolate.

Then it was back on the road and after dropping a friend back at Udayan I was home by 11 PM. Something of an anomaly considering most Friday nights I'm heading out at this time.

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...
