Calcutta

Ever worry about how all our cities are becoming Americanized, or more importantly, homogenized? People don’t take you to the forts and museums anymore when you visit. They take you to the coolest pub or the latest mall. Cal is different. The last bastion of tradition. Where fun is not necessarily proportional to cash. Where you can still listen to a live band, or sit in a restaurant undisturbed for hours without ordering. The city has been left untouched after the British left…literally. Somebody has to tell these guys that paint and tar were invented a long time back. It provides a timelesness few cities can afford to anymore.
Cal is different..and hence enjoyable to visit.

IIM Cal has a nice campus. But after 3 days, the significance of having six lakes is quite lost on my legs because of the amount of walking to be done.
