Located about a kilometre away from Bandel is Shinsurah which feels like a part of Holland on the Ganges. This was a highly lucrative post for the Dutch East India Company once. The Octagonal Church and the Dutch cemetery (with the oldest grave dating back to 1743) are part of the Dutch legacy in Bengal. The ‘Ghorir More’ (the crossing near the old clock) is a clock tower done in Gothic style. It was imported to Chinsurah by Kind Edward VI and is an iconic landmark.

I am a lover of caffeine and all things sweet. I believe there is no such thing as 'too much chai' or 'too many cafes'. And that music is the best part of any commute. I spend my time binge watching shows, jamming to new tunes, reading a few odd articles and books when not in pursuit of the next new thing.
