ALICE AND I HAVE HAD THE PLEASURE TO SPEND MUCH OF THE LAST THREE DAYS WITH THIS COUPLE, GEOFF AND CONNIE.
GEOFF CONNIE
I HAD A FUN DAY TAKING FRIENDS TO MIRPUR, Dhaka, Bangladesh.
I found a friend!
BEFORE TRAVELING TO KOLKATA I LOOKED UP SOME “BIRDINGPALS” on their website. I contacted Arka Sarkar of Calcutta and he mentioned that he planned to go to Chintamani Kar Bird Sanctuary. You can see it’s website at: http://www.kolkatabirds.com/ckbs.htm
I would like to thank Arka for the enjoyable morning with him and his birding friends. The one birder was a Pathologist, and others were workers in the laboratory. Arka is an IT worker. I decided not to wait till I had all the photos post processed and the birds identified to post. Hopefully that will come in the near future.

TTLER ADDA AT THE DHANMONDI RABINDRA SHOROBOR. I found this definition for an adda: A common place where close friends hangout. Its usually close to the college they attend and generally convenient for the rest of the boys to get there.
Its usually a bakery, Coffee day, restaurant or small shops run by frustrated people or nice people.
For this adda we just hung around the outside ampitheater and chatted, ate chanachur and drank ginger tea. We sometimes have photo addas where we critique each others photos.
