Pet Street

After China Town, we headed towards our original destination for our Sunday Morning Adventure. After finding out that “Rachel” was not really a “Rachel” but more like a “Ross” my wife decided that we had to get two more female Finches. We had visited our local pet store, but she didn’t quite like the finches there and after some research we had found that this was the Mecca of Pets. Galiff Street was like the Numero Uno place to visit for all things pet. Every Sunday this street is shut to traffic, except the Trams, and is besieged by breeders, buyers, animal lovers, photographers and tourists.

Galiff Street is just a little beyond Shyambazar 5 Point crossing. Head towards Dunlop and it is on the left just as you are ascending Tala Bridge.

We went crazy and spent about two hours here, during which time we learned quite a bit about Finches and also bought two female ones.

I'll say no more and let the pictures speak for themselves.

I was so overwhelmed by the sight of the sea of people and birds and plants et al that I had to capture this in its entirety. So at the end of the street I noticed a small Tata Van being loaded with some plants, I sought permission from the owner, hopped on top and clicked this picture.















This pair of Gouldian Finches was priced at Rs. 2000/-

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...
