Yeah, she holds an Indian passport, and is possibly more Indian than say Mani Shankar Aiyar or some other members of her cabinet, but Italian sounds - hmmmm - Italian. I wonder if she makes good pasta?Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06885651813993966354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9917432.post-1153382799495063252006-07-20T13:36:00.000+05:302006-07-20T13:36:00.000+05:30K, Did you get shrewsbury biscuits from there? -SK, <BR/><BR/>Did you get shrewsbury biscuits from there? <BR/><BR/>-SAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9917432.post-1153329342027460182006-07-19T22:45:00.000+05:302006-07-19T22:45:00.000+05:30Oh, I'd prefer Kalighat to the sterile and kitschy...Oh, I'd prefer Kalighat to the sterile and kitschy Birla Mandir any day. But speaking of Bengali pilgrimage sites on the whole, there are better places. <BR/><BR/>Including Bakreshwar in Birbhum, which is surrounded by lush verdant countryside, has a few natural hot springs nearly, and has none of the aggressive hassling of Kalighat. <BR/><BR/>And K, no fair. Criticise her as much as you want, but what's with calling her Italian? She's as bona fide Indian as anyone else in the country. And are you invoking facism simply because of her Italian origins? As far as I know, Sonia Gandhi has never been a Mussolini admirer.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13441809988487585009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9917432.post-1153313895758572452006-07-19T18:28:00.000+05:302006-07-19T18:28:00.000+05:30Thalassa, I felt good about going there not becaus...Thalassa, I felt good about going there not because of the chaos - Kalighat is insanely chaotic but just to do the darshan. South Indian temples are just so much more better organised as is the that massive Birla Mandir. I mean no matter what you say about Cal's turnaround - Kalighat is still symptomatic of Calcutta - redo kalighat and then maybe even Cal can be born afresh.<BR/>GBO - Karmic Retribution for electing an Italian and supporting her facist regime of sycophants.Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06885651813993966354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9917432.post-1153245037878734902006-07-18T23:20:00.000+05:302006-07-18T23:20:00.000+05:30This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9917432.post-1153234024427910222006-07-18T20:17:00.000+05:302006-07-18T20:17:00.000+05:30Boss all blogs are blocked but anyway we get aroun...Boss all blogs are blocked but anyway we get around so all the best, cheers, GBOAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9917432.post-1153154767745344082006-07-17T22:16:00.000+05:302006-07-17T22:16:00.000+05:30I'm sorry but Kalighat is always a very unpleasant...I'm sorry but Kalighat is always a very unpleasant experience for me. My mother drags me there kicking and screaming every time we visit Calcutta. The only bright spot of the visit is that we get to go to the Adya Ma temple nearby, which has a small snack shop next to it. They make absolutely fabulous luchi-chholar daal. That's one incentive to go.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13441809988487585009noreply@blogger.com
