  • [Photo Feature]: DRIVOBLOGļæ½ | X-Biking in Kalyani - the Lost Rural Confines of West Bengal

    Circa 1983
    I clearly remember the word I first heard in 1983 when I was just about 5 years old and was gifted a toy train (one of those EMU) on which the word Kalyani was written.

    Nice photographs, full of nostalgia for me yet again... EMU Locals, Kalyani Black Label, the best beer there is...
    The Wheel was a great invention; Two Wheels with a Motor in between was even better!

              That's Hanseswari temple. Yes, from this point it looks like Disneyland. You just made me nostalgic.

                          The Redhot Karizma is Jonak's of course. All credit goes to him for the trip.

                          Thats Jonak riding in the videos.

                          YouTube - Jonak doing over 120kmph with pillion in Karizma

                          Well I am bike enthusiast but was away from the scene for some 12 years, from the days I used to ride a RX100.
