  6. I am sure it's a world within a world of many. Love the bird's eye view shots. And you really got to the grit of it being in that traffic too. Thanks for the architecture too!

  9. I have never been to Kolkata. But when we traveled through southern India we had a guide who was born in Kolkata.

  10. How wonderful to have visited here. St. Teresa from Calcutta is special to me. She was declared a Saint in 2016. I've always wanted to see where she lived, so I thank you for sharing your fantastic photos with us. Yes, there's so much color there! Those tricycles are neat. Picture 10 is my favorite, that's awesome!
