The One and Only

  • Following passions

    Recently, my father started his YouTube channel. He has been wanting to create a channel for a few months, and I feel pretty happy for him since he fulfilled what he wanted to do, since he used to, (and still does!), make videos with me and him on our tablet. His first video was a

  • Kalighat

    Every time we go to India, we visit our ancestral home in Kalighat. Our house in Kalighat is an important part of our family. My grandfather grew up in that house. Kalighat is famous for Kali Temple. It is a very densely populated area in South Kolkata. Kalighat is home to my “mishtikaka” (my uncle),

  • Later we return

    Tomorrow we set off for our trip back to New Zealand. Our travels have been fun. I met new people, and saw family after two years. Every two years, one couple from our family come to Auckland, or we go to India. In Ranchi, I found it funny seeing almost everyone know each other. Teghoria,

  • Hanglaatherium

    A couple of days ago, we went to have lunch out. We went to a popular restaurant in our area, named Hanglaatherium (Hangla, for short). The place had a great atmosphere, and I realized that immediately. Looking at the painted wall of the building, I realized that this was more than food. It was great

  • A thing or two about everything

    A thing or two about everything

    Today we went to Birla Industrial & Technological Museum (BITM), a science museum in Kolkata. I really enjoyed my visit to such a nice science museum. I have never visited a science museum before (there is probably none of this nature in entire New Zealand!) and that is why the experience was so great. LEVEL

  • Back in the day…

    Again, this post is about my father. When he was 20, he went to Jawaharlal Nehru University. Fast-forward to 2019, someone who studied in the same university won the Nobel Prize for economics. This event made my father take a trip back to his 20s, as he now talks about JNU quite a lot. The

  • India #15: The city of joy

    Today was our flight back to Kolkata. My father, uncle, and aunt had already left. Today, my grandparents, my mother, and I, are going to Teghoria, a town in Kolkata. On our flight, we went to the airport. Then we got our tickets checked, but skipped the boarding pass printing, since we had printed our

  • India #13: Blast To The Past

    Today my father went back to Kolkata, and my uncle, my mother, and I, went to drop him off at the airport. When we were going back to the flat, we stopped by at the local grocery store, Reliance. When we were going to Reliance, we thought all we needed was batter, but my uncle

  • India #12: Share the Streets

    Animals never drove me crazy. I cared for the wilderness all around me. Now, in Ranchi, it’s a whole different story. Animals, howling at night, biting, kicking, and just creeping you out sometimes at day. Oh, when will the fun end? (sarcasm). The people in Ranchi get used to it, but not me and my

  • India #11: Just a minute…

    Maybe you thought that there wasn’t a computer here. But, there is! Hooray, huzzah, yahoo! So anyways, lets get talking about the flight to Ranchi! The Ranchi flight was (sort of) a smooth experience. When we got to the airport, there was a line to get in for flights. The people were taking the tickets,
