Kolkata – the city of Joy

It is my second visit to Kolkata by air and for the second time I face same problem (self created) at the immigration. Back in 1997 when I came here last, I had to wait for about an hour to get clearance. That time I came to India to attend the International Conference on General Relativity and a short-term visit to the Institute of Physics, Bhubaneswar. I landed at night and had to stay here for at least a night they asked my address in Kolkata. I had no problem about that as my two brothers were living in Kolkata, but I didn't know their address and I didn't need that as they were coming to receive me at the airport. But it was hard to convince them. Fortunately, I had their tel. Numbers. They phoned my brother and clarify everything. This time my brother wrote me his address before leaving...
