11 best hangouts in Kgp ... (for me)

Most of my thoughts originate when I think and discuss. And almost all of my blog entries have arose at some or other hangouts. Where ever I stay for more than a month I explore the place and try to know people around me. And it has been 4 years in Kgp and I have roamed a lot; either alone or with company. Anyways for me hanging out and roaming around is as important as eating to survive. Here below I have listed 10 best hangouts in Kgp according to my taste.

10. Aunties - Coffee is the best. I had spent 1-2 hours almost every night in my 3rd year with one of the most thrilling conversation about origin of the term "GOD" with a second hand friend of mine and 2 dear seniors.

9. Azad & Nehru Mess Top - Azad Mess Top is basically a part of it's Canteen. I had spent and will continue to spend some quality time their as long as food is on the boarders. :D Nehru Mess Top has its peculiarity of being Dark and Away from Crowd. Provides a Nice Ambiance for smokers and darubaazs.

8. Raj Canteen - A few people know about it. It is situated right in front of Chhedis. With Cheddu Daa's Chairs being ceased by Police it provides a great place to seat and stretch your legs and smells nice because of the Neem Tree right in front of it. Great Chai, Cheap and Away from Crowd. I am a weekly visitor to this place since 4th semester when I became an EGGETERIAN. :D

7. Vasky - The only hope of sutta for more than 600 students of PAN loop. One of the Best canteen services in IIT. Nice Chai. Is a place of Great Bhaat where you can keep track of every event of IIT. I go to this place at least once in a fortnight especially in 4th year.

6. Deepak Daa and HJB Canteen - Yet another great delight of Kgp. Food and Hangout. All my words would be ingeminated here.

5. Nescafe and Tech Canteen - Insti's class rooms. :D Nescafe (behind TOAT) is one of the best places to pass your time in the one hour gaps between classes and a place for low budget sophisticated food. Tech Canteen on the other hand is renowned for cheapest food that comes in a large number of variety and provides a good ambiance for afternoon snacks.

4. Pattri - Well again a place of less importance for corporate dreamers of IIT. It is the railway pattri near Chhedis but some 30-40 feets away from the Chhedi-hangout. It has been my "Quality-time" hangout with "Quality-Peoples" since 3rd year. Sitting on Pattri and drinking Chai of Chhedis with a touch of silence except during Mal-gadi rushes is something which makes a base for "Down-to-earth" and "Third-person-view" Thoughts. :D

3. Scholar's Avenue - How can I even call myself a Kgpian without mentioning Scholar's Avenue. Walk, Stand, Seat or Smoke - You wont be cared by anyone, Your conversation won't be over heard by anyone. You have to respond to at least One "Hi" every 15-30 mins you spend there. The more it is night - the more it is lonely and hence the more beautiful. Had been a place of hangout in 1st, 2nd and 3rd year.

2. Chhedis - The place of Nihilists. Rest you all know. I think I have spent half of my time in Kgp at Chhedis.

1. NH Bridge Near GI - A place discovered and claimed as hangout by Biker Seniors 2-3 years ago. A super massive structure of bridge on the NH-5 to Kolkata makes you think like being in some other place. A place of utmost silence with clear "Dopplers" of Trucks now and then. 50-60 feet above ground level. Do whatever you want to do there - The police Van patrols under it. :D. A place to cleanse your mind and a place to look at stars. A place you can sleep on the road or on the wide partitions between the lanes. Being far away makes it even more desirable.

0. Grave Yard / D Ground of Kgp / 90 Degrees - A place discovered and claimed as place to DIE while taking off the loads of life by Seniors some 10 -15 years ago. The presence of Grave Yard near it makes you think like the DEAD. A deep breath at this place can cause a sound to disturb the mental process of "being in the state" of Living and Dying. The place is full of vegetation of all kinds. The road in general remains un-traversed due to the fury of ghosts :D. If you can, then go to this place when you feel that being dead is better than being alive and I am sure you will see that you wont be afraid to live anymore. Pain echoes here. One pain laughs at another. One's pain laughs at Others'. Pains laugh at each other and pains laugh at you. For a moment it makes you believe that it is important what you have got in life and not what you could have got and makes you forget what you have lost. Situated in the Jungle 3 km east of Salwa makes it too far from IIT campus and so more coveted.

Other places in Kgp which attract me are Sasmal's Fastfood in Prem Bazar (Chai for 50 paise) , VS and BC Roy Canteens for the space and food quality. Not to leave Gyan Ghosh Stadium, Tata Sports Complex and last but not the least Insti. campus - although have become polluted due to "CHEAP-ROMANCE" CRAVING supposedly "broad-minded" Couples who tend to display ROMANCE & "much more" and not just AFFECTION. Well I am getting carried away from my topic of interest towards a better topic (:D) to appreciate(bash on). The only point here on this topics against those mortals is "anybody else except couples aren't allowed to wonder around in such beautiful places" :D - "Who Makes Whom Uncomfortable" is a Topic Of Debate and I am going to reflect on it in my Next post. :)
