Rather “some walks remembered” when I made a short visit to Kolkata this month.
On arrival, I inhaled the scent of the city instantly feeling the ecstasy of meeting an old friend, one whom you lose touch with, but don’t need more than a few seconds to start off on a long and intimate conversation. [...]
