As my train lurched into the Howrah railway station I was struck by how different each place in India looks from each other. Calcutta definitely has the more worn down and poor look on the outside, but the moment that I set foot on Sudder St. (where all the foreigners stay) and was greeted warmly by the folks on the street I thought…the people in Calcutta have a charm not to be matched elsewhere. Perhaps its because I’ve been here before, know the people or because I’m nearing the end of my time in India…but I feel at home in Calcutta and am glad I’m ending my trip here.
Traveling around India has given me a million new places I need to visit…the average foreigner spends a minimum of 4 months in India, my time is just a blink. Traveling alone has been really easy and actually I don’t feel like I’ve traveled alone. Everyplace I go, I meet new people whether Indian or foreigner and usually have to make time to be by myself. My friend Amir is coming into Calcutta tomorrow and of course my favorite Indian, Raj is here…..
I’ve added all of the pictures I have for my trip so far minus the ones I lost 
Enjoy!!
