New year '15 we decided to take a kolkata trip. Got our tickets by tatkal (Duronto exp) which is the best train for Bangalore-Kolkata journey.
The city was nothing like we had imagined. The place actually took us 20 years back. The buildings, the yellow ambassador cabs, the dilapidated buses and even the streets had a vintage rustic charm.
We got our hotel in the town center, New Market, Right opposite the legendary inventors of Kathi rolls - Nizam kababs & rolls. Right after checkin we were on a food hunt.
The following days went by trying out the finest Indian food and bengali sweets, thanks to our foodie tour guide cum cousin, we covered some tourist spots too occasionally :)
