City Tour Tomorrow

I’ve volunteered to take the junior batch (along with a few of my batchmates) on a city tour organised by the college. However, as usual they have gone overboard by making this “compulsory” for all the freshman (waay cooler term!). This means that we will have a fleet of 7 buses filled with IIMC junta making their way across the city.

Also the tour’s actual plan is kinda lame. It takes you to a couple of temples (Kali Mandir and Belur Math). While Belur Math is a nice place, its really really far in an area where nothing else exists, while Kali Mandir is in another nearer corner. This means that we will be spending most of our time in the bus! Also by making it a half-day tour and ending it around 1-2 pm means that all of us will be baked in the cruel Calcutta sun by the time we get back. I would’ve thought a roam through the streets of colonial Calcutta (like the wonderfully named Chowringee and Shakespeare Sarani) would’ve been nice – and so would’ve been a stop at the Victoria Memorial and the Eden Gardens. And if we had to go somewhere far, I’d take Salt Lake and the Salt Lake Stadium and the Science City anyday!

Anyway, the point for me is to meet these “kids” – and get to know them a little better. The hectic schedule that they will be under might not afford either of us much time to do so in the future.
