My New City - Kolkatta

On September 29th 2010, I Shifted from Hyderabad to Kolkata.
I stayed at Hyderabad for close On September 29th 2010, I Shifted from Hyderabad to Kolkata.I stayed at Hyderabad almost 5 years. Hyderabad is an "Excellent" place to stay. If, I was asked to rate Hyderabad in the scale of (0-5), of all the places I have stayed till date. I would give Hyderabad 5 Points.
29th Sep 2010 :
I reached Kolkata at 2PM. Took a Prepaid Taxi to a Guest house(Which, I booked a day before I had to leave Hyderabad). Taxi Driver wasn't able to locate the place. He was asking for more money. I didn't agree first. But, then he was rude, he asked to get down from the Taxi if we don’t pay him more. Strange!!! He was first person in Kolkata I was talking to.
Then we reached the Guest House. The owner of the Guest House was good and nice to talk with. She gave me a room, but later I got to know that only guys are staying there. I asked her if she can shift me to other guest house. She then shifted me to her Service Apartment, which is near my office (@walk able distance). I could see the office from the apartment.

I got ready and reached office around 9AM. Got to know that office would be closing by 2 PM due to Ram Mandir Issue. We just filled the documents and submitted to HR that day. And then as the office was closed early, I went to see a flat, which I got to know through a friend's reference. It was not very difficult to reach there. What I knew was that the flat is fully furnished from one of girl staying in the flat. But was surprised to see, how people could stay, at such a place. The room was in 4th floor and there was no lift. Also, was too congested to accommodate 3 persons. I told them the same thing. But they said it is late and they can't get other roommate now. So I should stay with them for some time. I agreed to stay for 1 month, as I talked to one of them earlier and she was friendly. But, others all started forcing me to stay for at least 2 months, to which I didn't agree. Also, I didnt like their behaviour. And they were saying that I cannot get a room bigger than this in Kolkata. For a moment I thought of leaving kolkata :( and going back to Hyderabad. Also, I had other offer as well in Hyderabad which tempted me to leave Kolkata.

Reached office at 9AM. We had to submit the form for ID-Card. They asked for photo with a white background. I wasn't having any photo with a white background. I asked for a photo studio nearby. But nothing seems to be nearby. You need to take a Auto and go to sector 5. I reached Sector 5, but couldn't find any studio. Asked few people, they told to walk little bit. But, couldn’t find anything nearby. I then saw, a Pedal Rickshaw and asked him for the nearby photo studio. He told he will charge 20 bucks. He dropped me @studio. The place was looking more like a village. I was afraid to enter the studio also :'( but I had no choice. Was feeling as if I am all alone at a place and nobody would even know if I am lost here. Took the pics and was relieved after reaching back to office.
Then the day passed at office. For Dinner I had bread and Jam. It is difficult for me to survive without Tea. I used to have at least 4 cup of Tea everyday@ Hyd. But here the day ended, without a cup of Tea.

Got up around 10AM as it was a weekend and went in search of a room. Got few numbers for and then finally went to see 2 of them. One was very near office and good. But food you are supposed to cook on your own. And the other one was little far, but they had a maid to cook the food. Second option looked better to me. :) But they don’t seem to eat Onion. To which I agreed to. It is better to manage onion-less food rather than cooking.

Shifted to the flat and eating onion-less. But at least you get the food cooked. But I can manage with that.
4th Oct 2010
Reached office and back a normal day. No work.
5th Oct 2010
I missed my stop while returning from office. And then was lost and it was actually very very difficult to search the room. The colony looks alike. Again the best option is take a Pedal Rickshaw when you are lost. He will drop you at home. 

Now time for weekend has come ............. :(
I really miss Hyderabad badly. Missing all my friends.......... We used to have fun there.
Here I will sit all alone in a room. :(
