I am just back from a 15 day whirlwind visit across West Bengal covering Calcutta, Shantiniketan, Durgapur and Asansol. I was visiting my relatives after a gap of 7 years.
It was a nice visit and apart from the fond memories I have also brought back plenty of gifts and a budding paunch too (from endless amounts of sweets and fish).
