From the third eye......

By himalayanreview
So finally I am back from my short journey of Kolkata and Durgapur...When I am traveling I am sure I get to click something that excites me but this time around rain and 'King Hot' did make me go bizarre....yet there are few photographs which I can share with others...Sorry if you people do not like it...am just learning....!!!
 
This hand has designed many beautiful postage stamps of India and the only Indian to have designed UN postage stamp .... is Dipok Dey.

Howrah Bridge...an identity that always struck with Kolkata

Vidyasagar Setu...a marvelous touch
WWII tank left for strays...
They still give..... feels of old Calcutta
Sunset behind the city...
The sky touching
Near Sevoke...........

The formation and consolidation of this national culture have required the expunging of uncomfortable facts and stories that might raise ambiguities and questions. While the selection of what and who is and is not acknowledged to exist (or at least exist in historically important ways) in official Nepali history is complex, social scientists have begun to provide more comprehensive historical accounts of the past through oral histories and re-readings of historical documents.

He promised to send me the stamp of S Mahinda Thero from Colombo through the mail, but I have never heard from him since then.
