                    hi...nice trip you had there....hope you werent scared to be passenger in the Hyundai Getz .....Mandarmani indeed is one of the calmest places near Kolkata....feels so cool and refreshing....and yes nir da indeed had some invaluable spare parts for his Comet...lucky that you got them from him..

                    PS:-heard you guys also had a break at Azad Hind dhaba on Bombay road on your way to Mandarmani....hope the food wasnt as bad as it has become in recent times..
                    You can take the ride away from me but you cannot take the rider out of my soul.........
