First impressions of erstwhile Calcutta that last forever in the metropolis era

The Calcutta of my dreams: When I imagined Calcutta as a kid, I imagined a city with long, twisted lanes with colourful, old houses on either side. Contrary to the outside scene, these houses with short and humble doors would open to a big verandah with multi-floored rooms and balconies all around it. The verandah…

Our Instagram Story:

Ram Mohammad Singh Azad aka Udham Singh was a freedom fighter, a revolutionary, an inclusive person (as depicted by the name he chose for himself uniting Hindu, Muslim & Sikh faiths), and a martyr. In 1940, he shot General Dyer (of Jallianwala Bagh) and avenged the mass murder of many innocent Indians who gathered in a park on the morning of a holy festival, Baisakhi, near Golden Temple. : In his remembrance! : क्या लोग थे वो दीवाने क्या लोग थे वो अभिमानी जो शहीद हुए हैं उनकी ज़रा याद करो क़ुरबानी : Don’t need an occassion really! : : #lifeonweekends #lifeonweekend #travelblog #travelblogger #JustYamini #Jallianwalabagh #amritsar#Indiafreedomstruggle #indiahistory #incredibleindia #proudindian

Wore Black on Black after long & totally loved it against the natural backdrop of Rose Gold near a beach type thing outside Mumbai :) This place is situated in the middle of a fisherman’s village where you can see fish and prawns drying out in the open, in tons & out there scattered on the rocks and boulders too. I am a vegetarian and I must get repulsed by it, but I did not. After the initial 5 mins of a strong stench of dried, dead fish, I was blown away by the breeze, winds, seawaves and the ferries on the water. Loved it! : : Read my travel stories from the North, the South, the West and a bit from the East across 17+ states and 100s of cities of Incredible India on my blog - Life on Weekends dot com.

When parents wish you early morning and say out these beautiful things. Yeah, yeah. They also spilled the beans a little bit by going specific on which year I was born, but I guess that’s okay 😊😊😊 : : Also note how they had to make it sound all right by being equally compassionate to the other two monkeys in the family (who are called siblings too by the way). Do not miss my sister’s response to it & swipe! This conversation is on since morning and everyone is trying to one up each other. So far, father is winning! #birthdaystories #siblings #familylife #familygoals
“Ring-a-ring-a-rosies A pocket full of posies A tissue, a tissue We all fall down” : On this Children’s day, I promise myself that I would keep my inner child alive. I will burst into laughter at things I won’t understand I would cry my heart out even if this is something that you can’t stand I will smell the flowers, eat the candies & buy those balloons, And not worry much over the wrong’s or the right’s as long as life moves on! : Happy Children’s Day!

तू किसी रेल सी गुज़रती है मैं किसी पुल सा थरथराता हूँ! : : तू भले रति भर ना सुनती है मैं तेरा नाम बुदबुदाता हूँ! : This song is so apt for this click that happened in the Summers of 2019 on an early, humid Kolkata morning. I was determined to take a long walk and happily crossed the ghats, adjoining flower markets on foot before parking myself on the sidewalk of the famous Howrah Bridge. Those flowers you see me wearing - from the market, yes! If I try a bit hard, I can smell them even now. What, really? Of course, not! 😀 But would love to go back on an early morning to buy some again & take that humid walk to the bridge...after I am done with all the walks that await me in the North East of India. : : Read my travel stories from the North, the South, the West and a bit from the East across 17+ states and 100s of cities of Incredible India on my blog - Life on Weekends dot com.
