Picture by Sanjoy ChattopadhyayaCalcutta: With the onset of middle age, one is often advised to walk a mile after dinner. A storm - this is, after all, kalbaisakhi season - with a lower wind speed than a cyclone is enough to do the job. While crossing the Chandni Chowk Metro station, I heard the station master entreating the motorman of a train that had stopped in Belgachhia to proceed to Shyambazar. When I reached Maidan station - I was still on Bus No. But then the driver - undoubtedly inspired by the Metro motorman - refused to appear with his elusive vehicle.
