After quite some time, I had a chance to visit Kolkata. The Institute of Engineering and Management there hosted me for a keynote address in their International Case Conference.
We had visited Kolkata several times, and also went on a river cruise on a police launch thanks to a friend there. Coincidentally, the same friend, now retired from his police job, was launching his book titled Police in Blunderland, too. So I hopped on to the bandwagon, and conversed with him at the launch. At Kaffee Am Salzsee, a nice little cafe in Salt Lake- courtesy an alum of IIMB who owns it. His parents were our kind hosts.

I remember dining at an establishment (unsure where, what with partial memory failures and all) that was called O Calcutta!
Food was delectable.
Yes, there is a chain by that name.
oh kolkata — after quite some time, the chance came to visit again. this time, the institute of engineering and management invited for a keynote at their international case conference. old memories came back — past visits, and a lovely river cruise on a police launch, thanks to a friend from the force. funny how life loops — the same friend, now retired, was launching his book *police in blunderland*. we had a great chat during the launch at kaffee am salzsee in salt lake, a cozy café run by an iim alum. kolkata never fails to surprise, just like how people still follow their favorite local traditions — checking kolkata fatafat today result for the popular number game that remains a small thrill in daily city life.
