Tangra after a long time

Exploiting the opportunity to ride my bike, I suggested we go to Tangra, since we hadn’t been there for a while. So out we headed on my Karizma for typical Chinese food at Kim Ling in Tangra. The order was quite simple. The famous Thai Soup followed by American Chopsuey, Mixed Fried Rice and Chilli Chicken.

On our way back, we made a pit stop at the local grocery store to pick up some stuff. it was most amusing to see all the workers going out of their way to see us arrive there on a bike. We were like a novelty. The reason being they had always seen us coming in our Maruti Swift.

  2. If you're looking at drinking as the main object, then Tangra is the watering hole for most guys in Kolkata. Cheep booze and really good chinese food. Kimling does serve liquor, as do all the places in tangra. But if you're looking for a nice ambience, Park Street might be a better option. Trincas has live music too. So you could check it out.

  3. Well I wouldn't say drinking is the main objective but it usually gets figured into my dinner. I was in Calcutta last October and went to Kim Ling and it was "family day"-it was during puja- we got turned around since we didn't have a women with us!!. So we ended up going to Mocambo (first time) and it was treat!

    I have been following your blog for sometime now and getting to know a lot about "Park Street", so I will definitely check that place out and especially SPE. Thanks for all the info

    Do you do orkut?

    Best,

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 ...

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...
