Kolkata is now filled with cafés and pubs, to an old hag like me most of the places look pretty similar after an hour or so! At least from the core, I can’t label any of these places as a ‘Bangali Café’, well that’s a rare species, right? I mean who on earth needs some…

There are eating joints which get hooked onto your memory even if you are not very conscious about that fact. I never realized (until last Saturday) that somehow or the other Red Xpress (located at Sector-V, Saltlake) has got a little special place in my head (or heart, maybe) for some not-so-well-defined reasons stitched to…

The sweetest part of India gets diabetic when it comes to festivals and celebrations! At times the refrigerator is not enough to store all the packets of sweets and chocolates you receive on such festive days! Bengalis love their mishti or sweet dish after every meal.
