a month

One month into my vacation and it dint feel like a month! Only that I visited 3 cities in between.
I saw Kolkata - city of joy for the first time and wondering what it would have been n century before. (n=1,2,3,4). I think in one day I got the vibe :D. The history of Calcutta gallery in Victoria Memorial was the high point. It is much like a city which is depleting than a developing one. Much like kanpur where I stayed for 5 years.
Then visited Bhopal to see some folks. And then to Delhi to some more folks. And the big fort built be Emperor Mogul Shah Jahan in 17th century. And the famous Delhi market Chandni Chowk. And some eateries. It made me believe people in Delhi have very strong immune system.
Since vellapa cannot be glorified I am also learning something during this time. To swim. I started on to pick up things nicely only to reinstate in initial learning stage by a 2 day break :( Looks like swimming is not an easy exercise. More so at the noon-past timings. When it is laziest time of the day. On a second thought other times of day are lazier too.
Recently enough my eyes started to hurt badly. Not in the way as if something hurts you but like itching and uneasiness. Then for the second time within a year eyesight further depleted. Cylindrical correction in both eyes now. It is very bad to have cylindrical glasses. Spherical ones you can do without glasses on many times but cylindrical is worse. Even bare 0.5 will screw badly.

I think Kolkata has still got its historic essence left in it.
But I guess not the same with its metro essence :(
