CHUMUKEDIMA (RID 3240) VISITS KOLKATA (RID 3240)
Sunday, January 10, 2010
On 10th, January, 2010, Rotaract club of Behala hosted Rotaract club of Chumukedima of RID 3240 in Kolkata.
Rtr Shuvranshu coordinated with the members of Chumukedima and directed them into the city from Howrah to Sealdah. He meets them at Sealdah and arranged a hotel for them near the sealdah station. The Rotaractors freshened up at the hotel and took lunch. We gave them many choices of side seeing and places of interest in Kolkata, the common answer were Kalighat temple. So we made our way towards the central metro station to catch a train to Kalighat. On our way we pointed out the Presidency College, College Square and Calcutta University and took a shortcut from Calcutta Medical College and Hospital. They were excited to get inside the metro station except for few who have previously visited the city in the past. We reached Kalighat Kali Temple and gave puja. They purchased many pictures of Kali and other goddesses from the market near the temple.
Our next destination was Victoria memorial by majority. Again we went to the metro station and reached Maidan. With a little stole through the footpaths we reached the Memorial. But there was a huge queue at the ticket counter for entrance. We were also supposed to reach Park Circus by 5:00pm where we organized a getogether with the IDYEP Team with the Rotaractors of our district. So we came to a collective conclusion that we will take pictures fro outside and leave for the getogether venue. We were really feeling said for them but moved on as they were also making their way for the next destination. We walked down a few crossings and finally reached Rabindra Sadan Crossing after watching Birla Planetarium and Rotary Sadan. We reached Malu Motors in time to see others waiting for us. They distributed club book mark to all the Rotaractors present. They also gave a brief account of their district conference and were very happy. We had snacks and proceeded with the getogether. We exchanged letter head, bulletin, and badges and presented them with a memento as a token of love and fellowship. Rtr Soummojit escorted them to their hotel and bided a warm goodbye to them and promised them to catch up as soon as possible. They were very happy and excited to visit again, because last time we hosted them when they came to Kolkata.
We wished them good night and wished them safe journey back in the very next day in the morning train in which they were leaving for their home from Sealdah station, i.e., Chumukedima in Nagaland.
