First post as a PGT

Hello all. Back after some time. Some busy time. Got into a MD course in pathology (yeah you are right, that blood, urine and stool department - at least most people think so). So expect my forthcoming blogs to get more sombre, dark and littered with pictures of broken hearts, empty stomachs, fatty livers and chronic kidneys (if at all I have time to blog).

Someone I met in the bus from Arambag to Kolkata

Whirlwind trip to Asansol and Armbag

Recently a job offer came up at Asansol, and I went on a one and a half day trip of Bardhaman. Although the offer was not to good, but the trip was worth it.

From the train just after it left Bandel, probably somewhere in Magra

The tracks that will never meet

And Andal station

The usual suspect

While returning from Asansol, I met a family of pilgrims from Kumbha Mela, homeward bound in the Chambal Express.

The Curzon gate at Bardhaman (wonder who is that beneath the crow's foot)

The Damodar river (the same one Ishwar Chandra Banerjee crossed to meet his mother, guess his job would have been easier now)

En route from Arambag to Kolkata

The solitary abode

Over the Mundeshwari river

Could anybody tell me what are those flowers?

The quintessential bath scene

A short trip to Delhi

I have recently come back from Delhi. Pranay Majumdar, a renowned cards maestro had accompanied me on the tour. This is Duronto express, which took me to New Delhi.
This is Pranay, in a pensive mood.
