Pixelated: Shutterbug on Park Street
http://pixelated-livinghigh.blogspot.com/2007/04/shutterbug-on-park-street.html
Tuesday, April 3, 2007. Shutterbug on Park Street. Walking down Park Street. I'm like this li'l Jap tourist in my shades and camera. If we start straight from the tip of Park Street, where it connects with Chowringhee Avenue. There's the great big Warren's building. Housing Warrens Travels since Donkey's Ears. This place has been functional since long before independence, and though it's got several other offices in the building now, Warren's is still a fantastic part of its history. Calcutta's first bru...

http://pixelated-livinghigh.blogspot.com/2007_04_01_archive.html
Saturday, April 21, 2007. Strolling around college :). Would take the metro station to college. And while the Park Street stop was also an option, I'd mainly opt for the 'Maidan' stop, as did most of the other college students. Gosh, their onion rings were to die. Right next to Coffee Pai was the Malgudi Junction - South Indian fare, with the best filter coffee in that area! And yes, I appreciated it all the more, after my Chennai stint! For a touch of traditional cuisine, Krishna's on Camac Street has s...

Pixelated: Park Street Ragtag
http://pixelated-livinghigh.blogspot.com/2007/04/park-st-restaurants.html
Tuesday, April 3, 2007. Park Street has traditionally been the 'hot spot' of the city. The place where you have the rocking parties and the elegant restaurants, and the o-so posh Park Hotel. Just some of the grand old dames from a Park Street known for its neon lights and jazz strains. Windmills of the Gods:. Aa, but Sidney Sheldon. Is no more, and this is hardly gay Paree. Once overhead, on a visit ages ago, two waiters discussing after the exit of a family eating nearby: " Madam khaatey rehta hain!

Pixelated: Christian Park Street
http://pixelated-livinghigh.blogspot.com/2007/04/christian-park-street.html
Tuesday, April 3, 2007. The southern end of Park Street. Is where my college is. Right across the street is the Park Street police station in a gorgeous red brick building, very grand and very non-police- thana. That actually reminds me of the Colaba thana. Here in Bombay - with the same air of old-world charm and grandeur. :). In Calcutta. :). And in case you thought that good Christians only go for gorgeous gothic buildings, think again and get prepared for the monstrous granite thing.

Pixelated: Buladi says Goodbye

Tuesday, April 3, 2007. Is, or rather, was. The West Bengal government's campaign face against HIV. The 2 year old campaign has been withdrawn. Now, owing to a paucity of funds, but it has had an amazing. Effect as far as enhancing knowledge of HIV and AIDS is concerned, in both urban and rural areas of the state. According to the WB State A Prevention and Control Society. And, yes, while I was snapping pictures of Buladi on Park Street, Premankur was munching on a (hold your breath) date. Regarding comp...

Pixelated: Chariots of Fire (?)
http://pixelated-livinghigh.blogspot.com/2007/04/chariots-of-fire.html
Monday, April 2, 2007. Chariots of Fire (? Something gorgeously Grand about a horse-carriage - even when it's a cheesy silver one at the Gateway. Well, Calcutta is also dotted with horse carriages. From the equally cheesy silver ones (they have swans. Snaking out from behind the passenger's seat! That park at Rajabazar with their undernourished steeds, to the slightly more sedate ones that take families and kids for joyrides at the Maidan, around the Victoria Memorial. Like the one on top. :).

Pixelated: The Park
http://pixelated-livinghigh.blogspot.com/2007/04/park.html
Tuesday, April 3, 2007. Welcome to the Park, Calcutta. One of Calcutta's most famous and earliest five-star hotels, the Park was also single-handedly responsible for introducing the pub/ discotheque culture to Cal. It's discotheque, Tantra. And pub, Some Place Else,. Are still one of the most rocking nightspots in the city. New entrants, like the ultra-posh lounge bar here, Roxy's. Are carrying on the Park tradition. :). Oops, and yes, at night, the loooong portico of the Park does. All aglow in a weird.

Pixelated: Star Track
http://pixelated-livinghigh.blogspot.com/2007/04/star-track.html
Monday, April 2, 2007. Selections were going on at Calcutta, while I was there, and I tagged along with Premankur for his interview with judge Alisha Chinai. Also present were Udit Narayan. Both of whom insisted on hamming it up for the TV crews by singing in their nasal voices. Aaa, but Alisha! Alisha's an Indian Idol. Today", that had her blushing and giggling, (even though her black harem pants with zippers and the big clunky boots were o-so-weird! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Fly me to the moon.
