55er:Journey to Calcutta

Entry in the city gave disgusting feeling with public bath, people throwing things on streets instead of in dustbins and excessive public smoking. Then the visit to Indian museum, Howrah Bridge, the Trams, St. John’s Church, Writers' Building and Victoria memorial we found the capital of British India, Calcutta.

Single and Unapologetic

55er:She said "YES"

She was in bad mood. He had cancelled all plans for no apparent reason. Despite of being with friends she was lost in her own world. He had his plans. He went down on one knee holding the ring and asked the question. Her heart skipped a beat and tears rolled uncontrollably. She said "YES".
