In Class VI, we made a field trip from school to Hooghly Imambara and Bondel Church and had mutton curry and rice on that courtyard you have taken such a nice picture of. Post from Sundarbans, I have never been there.
Today’s piece is my favorite. And thanks for visiting my hometown, Hooghly. I went to primary school right opposite the Imambara, in Abbott Shishu Hall. As you are probably aware, the Imambara was built by Haji Mohammed Mohsin, a social benefactor, whose donations, among other things, led to the development of the district hospital (also known as Chinsurah Imambara Sadar Hospital) and Hooghly Mohsin College.
How wonderful that the post connected with you! I’m now on my way to the Sunderbans. Just passed a town called Ghatakpukur which had impressive piles of jackfruit being sold on both sides of the road. Solid green pyramids.

That is amazing! We have now connected over Boulder and also Bondel. Next, Bangalore! Coming there for the litfest in Dec.

Thank you Amitava Sir. But I am still getting over the violence on the picture on that poster.
Hahaha.
Enjoying your Ganga adventure, Ami. Eric Newby's journey down the Ganga to Kolkata in the early 1960s hilariously in mind.

Have made a note. Will read it soon.
I await the opening of your dance studio.
