Kolkata (Calcutta)Sights

Lake sights in Kolkata (Calcutta)

  1. A

    Rabrindra Sarovar

    Around dawn, middle-class Kolkatans arrive en masse to exercise in the parkland surrounding Rabrindra Sarovar a lake that prettily reflects the hazy sunrise. As well as jogging, rowing and meditation, some people form circles to do group-yoga routines culminating in ho-ho ha-ha-ha laugh-ins. These are the informal Laughing Clubs, engagingly described by Tony Hawks in The Weekenders: Adventures in Calcutta. Even if forced, a good giggle can be refreshingly therapeutic.
