Found a South Indian food stall in Bhowanipore, Kolkata

This gentleman from Madurai in Tamilnadu has been selling dosas, idly, vada and other South Indian delicacies from his stall on the footpath in Ashutosh Mukherjee Road, opposite Ganja Park, Bhowanipore, Kolkata for over 2 decades. I chanced upon this stall on 2021-10-29 evening while I was in the vicinity to repair my VW Vento. 

The food was so tasty that I got a few plates of idly and sambar vada packed for my wife and daughter at home. 

The items on sale are reasonably pocket friendly, too. 

I was in the same locality for an official meeting on 2022-04-06 evening. I couldn't resist the temptation of visiting his stall and getting a few items packed for home. I bought enough to take care of the dinner for the three of us that evening. 

If you happen to visit this stall anytime soon, please share photos and details of your experience. I am sure that you too will have something good to write.

Indian Roadie breakfast meeting with Amit Halder of Cup E Bong on 2022-04-08

An Indian Roadie breakfast meeting at 10 am on Friday, 2022-04-08 after 25+ months to discuss pathbreaking initiatives related to my brainchild, viz. Indian Roadie with Amit Halder, the owner of a nice cozy cafe named Cup E Bong, somewhere near Abhishikta Apartments in the southern fringes of Kolkata. 

After leading a highly regimented lifestyle for over 2 yrs because of the pandemic, I (Deep Banerjee, Founder - Indian Roadie and associated forums) am steadily getting back to my old self. 

Thank you, Nikhilesh Roy for going all out to assist me in fructifying my dreams for Indian Roadie. 

P.S: I was without the mask for the photo session only.

Ma was recorded blowing the conch shell 🐚 on 2022-02-16

Ma at 83+ blows the conch shell every evening between 5.30 pm and 6.30 pm first in the pooja room, thereafter in her own bedroom where my late Baba's photo is framed and lastly in my bedroom where another photo of Baba is framed. 

I have grown up seeing her following the ritual without fail in Barakar from my days as a toddler, thereafter in Asansol and finally Kolkata. 

Whenever we three are there in Behala visiting Ma, my daughter even after having grown up, keeps moving from one room to the other with her grandma with folded hands and watch her with awe as she blows the conch shell effortlessly for a looooong duration every time. 

On 2022-02-16, MyDaughterDiksha recorded a video of her 'thamma' in action for the first time ever in my bedroom. 

Ma didn't get to know that her granddaughter had recorded her in the final lap of her daily ritual 😊
