Kolkotta – The gateway to India!!!!
Now, let me be straight. If anyone asks me to describe India to him or her, I will say, “I am sorry. I cannot!! Go visit yourself and when you return we will have a chat about it.” Should they choose to visit, I would say, “prepare yourself mentally for the trip and in so doing think of extremes. Think strong and weak, beauty and beast, love and hate. There is little room for any ‘in-between’ emotion, and there is plenty of room to be torn.
“We land at Kolkotta Airport. Hmmm!!! Not bad I say. What is all the fuss about? Where were all these people they talked about in India? The airport was quiet and seemed quite empty. Maybe this had something to do with our plane being the only one that landed or that big airport strike we found out about AFTER we had purchased our non-refundable tickets. Anyway, I figured, this is not going to be half bad!!! I am gonna love it every moment of it!!!!! Humph!!! Well folks, lets just say I spoke waaaaayyyy too soon.
