A very memorable Saturday spent (From 9:30 am to 1:30 pm) in baidyabati with 2 friends. It was hectic due to a long motor cycle journey (from Srerampore, last few Kms with 2 pillions). Getting down to paddy field with full fear of poisonous snakes and at the same time ankle down mud, but the result was in all mean more than satisfactory.
