Just About Everything

To reach Jayanti...you can catch one of the overnight trians that plies from Howrah. We travelled in Saraighat express. This train leaves Howrah at around 4 and reaches New Alipurduar at 4.45am next morning (provided that train is on schedule:))From New Alipurduar it takes another 45 minutes by road to Jayanti.

May the brilliant colours of Holi fill you with happiness. Wish you a very happy holi.

I had a great time shopping for indoor plants last weekend.My home has more colour now. It looks so much better with greens. And peaceful... Excellent stress buster.

Had a wonderful, absolutely yummy lunch on Friday. It was sponsored by my office and we had a wonderful time. Sharing pics of some of the stuff we had :) (clicked by my colleague) I am feeling hungry again...
