We are on the road (well, train track) this morning for Shantiniketan, which means “abode of peace”. It was made famous by Nobel Laureate Rabindranath Tagore, who set up an ashram-university here in the early 20th century. It has become something of a weekend retreat for the well-heeled of Kolkata.

We will not be anywhere near internet access for the next two days, so see you on Friday or Saturday.
