A Picture Party

It is only fair that I put up some pictures of Kolkata, where I sincerely enjoyed my stay. Well, at least most of the time.




These are all pictures of South City Mall (which has the largest car parking area in eastern Asia -- no, really) on Christmas day.




I've never seen this kind of mannequin. Is it just me?
(Those men in the background don't have disfigured faces; I did the needful. Let's hope they don't stab me in the back and yell, 'It's your fault we aren't famous!')







This is absolutely lovely. I had to take a picture of this.

The Victoria memorial. The interior was beautiful, but there were guards at every corner who threatened to mash us if we dared to take pictures.

I did become complacent at the underground metro station though:


At this point an officer came over and balked in Hindi, 'Can't you understand? NO photos!'


Last but not least, the hero is...


Notice the cat on the first floor? And with the clothes hanging out like in a typical Indian household, the scene does seem amusing, at the very least.
