MAN FRYING POTATO CHIPS IN KOLKATA, INDIA.

IT’S BATH TIME ON THE SIDEWALK OF KOLKATA. Most anywhere you see a water source such as this you will see men bathing, especially in the morning.
BIGGER THAN LIFE: PANTALOON ADS WITH LOCALS RELAXING in front oblivious as to what is behind them.
I was looking for a grocery store and it was located on a top floor of Pantaloons.
KOLKATA HAS TRASH CANS IN FRONT OF STREET-SIDE EATERIES! I should have turned the can to show that I had found a Diet Pepsi and enjoyed it.
SUBWAY RESTAURANT IN KOLKATA near New Market. This is something we don’t have in Dhaka. We definitely savored these subs several times while in Kolkata. Alice like the veggie subs, and I liked the chicken subs, whether Teryaki, Tikka, or Tandoori!!
As seen from across the street.
Yes, always fresh!
THIS GUARD WAS TOO LATE IN LETTING ME KNOW HE DIDN’T WANT A PHOTO TAKEN. I really would have liked a scene where he was sitting relaxed in front of the ad, but so it goes.
FELLOWS ENJOYING TOASTED SANDWICHES ON CORNER NEAR NEWMARKET, KOLKATA, INDIA. I was many times tempted to buy one, but it was too close to the Subway and McDonald’s restaurants!
HERE IS A TYPICAL SITE IN KOLKATA. Hand drawn rickshaw and it’s human puller waiting for a passenger.
YELLOW CABS OF KOLKATA (Calcutta), India. Ever since I saw photos of my grandson sitting on the hood of a Kolkata cab, I wanted to visit the city. I wasn’t disappointed, since the city is still full of these nice looking cabs. Is it nostalgia thinking of the old cars in the U.S. that I was place on for photos? Maybe, though these are still being produced so maybe they haven’t changed over the years.
This is my first photo of our 10 day visit to Kolkata. I had forgotten my card reader, so had to wait until returning to Dhaka to post photos. Coming home God provided protection for my laptop. While navigating the rough street to the ferry ghat my backpack with the computer in it came hurtling down on to the floor of the bus! I had it wrapped in two pieces of clothing for protection. Upon arriving home I saw that the battery had started to come apart from the computer. I shoved the battery back into place, started up the computer and there appeared to be no damage! A blessing to be thankful for indeed!
Hope you don’t mind, as there will be many more Kolkata photos in the days to come.
