| Hi everyone (I'm very sorry if this is off-topic)! Can anybody tell me where Gallif Street is, and how I can get there? I live in Hazra Road, near Landsdowne market. Thanks! |

Hi Crookshank,
Although I don't live in Kolkata (I live 8500 miles west) my free time allowed me to do a little internet map searching. It looks like Galif street is located just north of Bagbazar. Â Â Map.
Is the Hazra road you're on in Baliganja? Map
Has Galif been renamed to Mahatma Sisir Kumar Sarani? Â I hope this helps. Â  |

Hi,
gallif is street near to Shyambazar crossing. From the crossing if you go towards Boranagar, it will be on your left after Shyamabzar Bata show room ( if it's still there !!) and just before Bagbazar canel. It's a road parallel to the canel. Only on sunday morning, it becomes the most happening place for us 
Unfortunately on sunday morning you won't get metro rail to take you there, but you will get plenty of busses from the Hazra crossing to Shyambazar. I am out of Kolkata for almost 7 yrs now, so can not remember the exact bus numbers 
Hope this helps.

Thank you so much guys!! So this is open only on Sunday morning? Currently I go to Splashing Meadows (which is highly irritating... gah!  ) and Hobby and Hobby (they have leeches on EVERYTHING!)  Guess I'll go there this Sunday then!! |

| when we were teenagers (and lived in proper calcutta) anything beyond charu market used to be called tollygunge. so that way i live in "tollygunge". but to be precise i live behind karunamoyee temple on the way to haridevpur. what about you? |

Hi David
Welcome to IAH. Why don't you introduce yourself? It's great to know that Tangra has a club. Are you Chinese? I have noticed that virtually every Chinese family in Kolkata has an aquarium - part of Chinese culture I think, like we have a tulsi plant in our house.
Did the proposed meeting in Amitava's house happen? If not can we organise one now or in the near future? If you want a more central location I can organise an empty flat near Rashbehari on the Metro route (easy for everyone). But I would prefer to have it in someone's house with a planted tank.
I recently visited Rana's house to see his tank. Wonderful tank within the limitations of plant availability in Kolkata. He gave me some HC for free, which I am finding impossible to keep rooted due to my friend Mr Pleco in the tank. It's not that he munches on them, but his movement over them is enough to uproot them. i have half a mind to put a box like structure made of fishing net over the plants for a couple of weeks, giving them a chance to take root and then remove it. What do you guys think? Will it work? Removing the pleco is my last option that I don't want to take.
