Though my wife and I had planned to start Pandal hopping on Shashti night, we fell asleep while lying in wait to hit the roads in the wee hours. Anyway having missed the first night of Pandal Hopping, we got together with the usual suspects (a group of us who have been Pandal Hopping together for the past couple of years) and after a sumptuous dinner, headed out at about 9:30 PM. Today's destination; NORTH KOLKATA.
