The last time I saw my grandmother was a year and a half ago. I’ve been feeling the guilt for a while now.
My baby nieces are growing by the day.
Mamata Banerjee has changed almost all the names of the metro stations to utter ridiculousness.
Winters are also the season for rasgullas made of jaggery.
The closest cousin is going through awful times and I feel terrible for not being able to be there for her.
So when I heard that a college mate was getting married in the home city, there was no way I was going to let it pass.
It was just over a week, and there was simply SO much more that I wanted to do. But I’m glad I went, for whatever little time.

Like I said, not much – but I feed oddly happy whenever I’m in Calcutta. And that’s what makes me want to keep going back. ❤
