Authentic Thai @the heart of Kolkata
Bongs and their love for oriental cuisine goes a long way and every Bong has a Chinese restaurant he swears by.

The Whistling Kettle… A cup of Darjeeling in a lane of Kolkata
Darjeeling has been the single most favored holiday destination for Bengalis (with Puri, Odisha giving a good fight for the same favored place).

And one place has been the Mecca for tea lovers … Continue reading The Whistling Kettle… A cup of Darjeeling in a lane of Kolkata
Lighting up the sky: Diwali 2016
A couple of Monkeys were lucky to be present at Vivekandanda Park at the Funoosh Festival this year, organised by the Calcutta Instragramers. It was a sight to behold, an great fun too, apart from the famed dahi phuchkas!
