Eau Chew...Chimney Soup

The only place to have authentic Chimney Soup, Eau Chew! So when my in-laws invited us for a treat to Eau Chew, we jumped at the idea and reached there before them. They were accompanied by some family friends. So when they arrived they seemed to know the people sitting at the table next to us and as luck would have it, that table was nearly done with their dinner and had more than half a bottle of Whiskey (HAIG) which they promptly offered to us. So the drinking began while we ordered our dinner, Chimney Soup to start with, and cracked jokes. A little later the gentleman who had given us the bottle popped over for a peg, and Mahesh uncle snapped back at him, saying that if he took a peg, what would we have, as there were so many of us.

Anyway we did finally see someone in the lobby and were told to head up to the first floor where the restaurant was located. We alighted from the lift and looked down at the bistro below, it looked pretty cool, but up here it was like were headed further into that scary movie. It was darker and there was absolutely no one in sight.

A Dark Comedy

Tollygunge Club treats us to a Rare glimpse of some Road Beauties

The Tollygunge Club put together a Vintage Car Show along with a Pet Show. This coming close on the heels of the Statesman Vintage & Classic Car Rally. On a Cold Winter morning braving the sudden drop in temperature in Kolkata this year with chilly winds blowing to make matters worse, it was a warm sight to see these rare beauties displayed in pristine condition. The vintage cars apart, the show-stealers were the 3 sports cars owned by the eclectic car freak Mr. Ranajit Nobis which took centre-stage at this show.
