Day 27 Thu 08/8 - Last Day In Another Mad City of Kolkata


Today spend : Rs 430    Total spend :Rs 25644

Today is my last day here in India, in another mad city of Kolkata, the same place where we started on the 13th July and will be ending on the 9th Aug,almost close to a month. Being  a first time visitor to India,it really open up my eyes as how low a human can live vs those wealthy rich living in high class bungalows. For the poor and homeless, sky is their roof and with a matt or a piece of cloth for them to sleep in just about anywhere they feel comfortable. Nobody seems to bother and i think the authorities also had no solution to put a stop to it, as there are just too many poor peoples on the street doing the same thing, throwing rubbish, urine everywhere. So you hardly see any toilets or rubbish bins on the street. I slept almost the whole day in the room or a more appropriate term is a prison cell, I went out only for my lunch and dinner. Chee has to cycle to find a bike box few km away from our stay,luckily for him he has contacted the bike shop owner to reserve one, but for a fee of Rs 500 including packing, and took a taxi to bring back to the hotel. With everything done and settled, we are ready to return happily to our home tomorrow.
