Funny how we notice different things at different times. I visited Kolkata in January 2000. It was after I had finished masters and had little care in the world. After 6 weeks in conservative Dhaka, I enjoyed the nightlife around Park Street and New Market. And of course there were the bookshops. But political economy of defence - this i didn’t care about.
I was in Kolkata eight years later this February, not for holiday, but nor was political economy why I made the trip. But hey, it’s hard to stop thinking about that stuff.
