Kolkota

We (and this time there were actually two of us) are standing in front of our office on Park Street, eating jhalmuri. Suddenly a guy walks by and gestures wildly at what we are eating. While my colleague is a little at odds as to what the stranger wants, I realize that he is asking for some of the jhalmuri. And he is not the sort who looks like he can't afford it or is in need of immediate food. Anyways, my colleague tilts his paper cover into the guy's hand and the guy gets a handful of jhalmuri. He eats some of it and says "Mmm" and nods in approval and walks on! Oh bondhus, this can happen only in Kolkota.

And among other things, we made our first client visit and attended meetings and all. We are beginning to learn the ropes, waking early, sleeping late and catching up on sleep in taxis and planes.

And here is something more encouraging about our beloved Bondhus indulging in one of our interests.
