Mala visited Kolkata recently, for her vacation. In a very detailed post, she sketches the changes she perceived in the city, and also portrays how she (and her own life) might have changed in the perception of those at home:

Its always a treat catching up with everyones lives. There is one thing in common between all though - they all seem to think we have better lives than them based on our location and vice versa. How I crave to have someone cook, clean and drive me everywhere. My friends crib about how it is so hard on them when their maids have conflicting schedules - the audacity I say!

And don’t miss the wonderful pictures her hubby took at Kolkata at the end of the post! One of them was featured in the Times of India. These Bongs, I say! :)
