Guest guest Posted November 27, 2002 Report Share Posted November 27, 2002 Congrats to you! Wonderful that you're able to travel to Calcutta and stay with the Baul Sect to learn the Tabla and also Bangla! Hope you'll have a great time there. The very best of luck and prayers for success in all endeavors to you, Ganesh will guide you. Yes there are plenty of internet cafes in Calcutta so please keep us posted about your experiences and anything you wish to share. Looking forward to hearing you in "Cal". This city (in fact Bengal) is famous for Kali temples so if you happen to visit Kalighat, it would be nice to hear about it too. If you also happen to stumble into "Tangra", the Chinatown of Calcutta, please tell me if there are still many leather tanneries around, thanks. I'm just curious about Tangra.

I am going to live with the Baul sect in Calcutta. You may have heard of them??? They are essentially mystic musicians who treat music as devotion and are all about reaching ecstatic states through music and dance. This should be a great experience for me. At 24 years old this is even my very first plane trip!!!! So I am going to live in Calcutta with the Bauls as well as continue studying Tabla only now even much better than before! Aside from this I am getting a tutor to learn Bangla. This is all a blessing from Ganesha!!! Tomorrow I am giving him some fruits and incense as a thank you., Wish me luck and I will post any unique things I find while I am there! It seems in the big Indian cities these days there are internet cafes everywhere so it should be easy.
