Breakfast at China Town

I can't believe that we got up at 5:30 AM this morning to include breakfast at China Town into our days planned outing. Anyway we did and were out of the house a couple of minutes after 6:00 AM headed to China Town.

Our standard Meatball and Fishball Soup was ordered to start with. Then we had some Fish Dumplings followed by a large Sugarcane Juice. I love to have it in the "bhaand" which is an earthen cup. As usual we got to this chap who makes these long fried things from wheat dough. I don't know what they are called, but I love to munch them on the drive back home. Well today we had to wait quite a while as he was busy packing an order of about 100 of these for some fat ladies. Well I'm not being mean or anything, but their order created quite a scene there.

While we were waiting an my wife was growing impatient by the minute, the guy made matters worse by managing to spill a drop of hot oil on my her foot. Adding to this was the fact that she suddenly told me that one of her lenses had fallen out. I didn't understand what she meant by that. I was wondering how a drop of oil could lead to a contact lense falling out of one's eye. Then she explained that she had rubbed her eye and it wasn't uncommon for lenses to pop out.

Can you imagine my state at that hour of the morning with all that food inside and major agenda ahead of us.

I had to find that lense. Sure enough after I went down on my haunches and hopped around for a couple of minutes, I spotted it on the road. I pointed it out to her and as she picked it up, the fried stuff guy came back with some sort of black stuff and started to put it on her foot. He had gone to get some Ice but came back with soya sauce instead and that was the black stuff. Meanwhile our order for 10 pcs was ready. So then my wife got some paper, wiped off the stuff on her foot and headed back to the car with her lense in one hand and the food packet in the other while I went to our soup lady to get some stuff packed for later. We always get stuff packed for later. Coz its not like one gets to have this stuff everyday.

I got the stuff and off we went further up north towards our next and original destination for our Sunday Adventure.

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...
