An email from my husband's inbox, dated Sept 28th 2010:
Hi R,
Kolkata is bracing for Durga Puja. In Delhi the shit and snakes have been cleared and now everything looks fine for the Commonwealth Games. We Indians are the world's best "manage masters".
Mamta-di is in Darjeeling, promising to turn it into Switzerland of India. Since Kolkata will be London and Darjeeling soon to be Switzerland, we Indians will have no need to go abroad. Just take the train, and if the tracks are not blown up by Maoists, you will make it to the vacation hotspots. She is flagging off a new train every week.
Cheers!
A. Mukh.
