NEW DELHI: When I last visited Kolkata, the thing that struck me was the sartorial preference of the city. Almost all the girls were in salwar kameez and the men in trousers! Unbelievable in a city where the predominant dress was the graceful sari and the milk white dhoti, which was elegantly held in one end.
Despite the dhoti not being the ideally suited apparel when running was involved, the bhadralok showed amazing elan and nimble-footedness when it came to boarding the buses, as the evening approached and the great Kolkata offices disgorged their vast masses of babulog.
