Back from Kolkata

Came back from Kolkata last Sunday straight into a hectic week in office.

Kolkata was like a great homecoming meeting relatives from both my and Shoma's side.

For me it's a city which always makes me think about life in a much deeper perspective.

Takeaway from the trip:

1. Looking into some relatives who are old and in the final stages of the journey called life really made me think how short life is and it's time we make most of it or time will just fly by...

2.People with a much migre earning live a real happy and contended life which gives you a clear understanding that money is not necessary for a better living.

3.The importance of family bonding and standing by each other.

4.Just strolling around the street at night and looking into the people living in pavements only brings in immense respect for the city and makes you feel grateful to god to have given better opportunity in life.

5.Oveall - somewhere it instilled a great degree of confidence and fearlessness looking into the people (friends and relatives) that you can carry on with life effectively with whatever is available with you.

Kolkata is indeed a city which throws in so much dissatisfaction in peoples life that it only stimulates it's citizen to strive higher and extract the most from life.
