It has been a while since we had a vacation to write about, not since the spooky encounter at Morgan House (A Haunting in Morgan House!) - and Monkeys have been too tied up in their daily foraging to go for a high jump across the trees! But when we Honumans roll, we do it … Continue reading A retreat by the river – Honumans hit the highway again! (Day 1)
যোধপুর পার্কের পাশে আমাদের সবুজ ফোর্ড গাড়ি এসে দাড়ালো। দরজা খুলে নেমে এলাম আমরা।লালমোহনবাবু, ফেলুদা আর আমি। এখানে শনিবার সন্ধেবেলা আমরা কেন এসেছি সেটা অবশ্য ফেলুদা বাদে কারোর কাছে পরিষ্কার নয়। দুপুরবেলা একটা ফোন এসেছিলো, হয়তো তার সাথেই কোনো যোগ আছে। একটা তেতলা বাড়ির দুটো ফ্লোর নিয়ে একটা ক্যাফে 'আবার বৈঠক'। সামনে বসার জায়গা। অনেক … Continue reading মুখোমুখি মগনলাল, আবার বৈঠকে।

And one place has been the Mecca for tea lovers … Continue reading The Whistling Kettle… A cup of Darjeeling in a lane of Kolkata

Well, it was during Poila Boishak and we were already craving for good old Bengali "maacher jhol"! But most of the restaurents … Continue reading Maach-Mishti & More – 6 Ballygunj Place
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!
