Atanu Dey On India's Development

Off to Kolkata

October 19, 2011 by Atanu Dey | 2 Comments

I am on my way to Kolkata — the city most likely to be mispronounced in airport announcements. What’s so hard about “coal-kaa-taa”? Three simple syllables with equal stress on each. In any case, the plan is to meet people and talk about things related to India and its political future. Just BTW, for the rest of my visit, I am going to be in the following cities:

Kolkata — today until 25th Oct
Trivandrum — 31st Oct to 2nd Nov
Bangalore — 2nd Nov to 5th Nov
Chennai — 6th & 7th Nov
Pune — a few days (not certain when)
Delhi — 20th to 23rd Nov

The rest of the time, I am in Mumbai.

  • Ashok

    I am based in Kolkata and am very much impressed with your writings- is it possible to meet up with you while you are here ?

  • Loknath

    I wish I were in Pune too and had an opportunity to meet you. When I mentioned about you first time to my wife the other day, the prompt question was “Tumhare saare real aur online dost Bangali kyon hain”.

    Cheers and carry home some new bullshit you sense and see around the country for a change.
