9/jan dakshineswas kali temple

Walking around the center, I bought a watch. 80 RS (1,6 euro). It's one of those cheap casio, maybe an imitation. The most basic one. The one that my aunt maria had gaiven me once when I was a child. And I have it again after so many years in Kolkata. We took the bus, of course very old, and went up north to the dakshineswas kali temple, one of the most important for induism, and 1 hour far from our area. It's sunday, and it's absolutely crowded. So many people queuing for hours. We met 4 guys from west bengal, the province where kolkata is the capital. They told us many things about the place. They were studing here. After taking another bus (4RS) and the subway (4RS), we reached a muslim area, with a huge mosque. Very narrow alleis in this area, with a lot of life and things going on. After that, the day was already finishing. Was dark, and we started our way back home (modern guest house), after eating kachori, little fried nans with curry sauce (patatos, lenses...) very good!!! and chicken tikka masala (boneless chicken with curry).
