7:15 am, We stood outside the Park Street Cemetery with excitement and eerie feeling because this kind of shoot was new to most of the members present.

We tried to enter the Cemetery(The one which is still in use) but was stopped by the guard at the gate as he said Photography was not allowed. Standing outside we tried out various strategies to enter however we gave up in 10 flat mins and moved on the other gate where The Cemetery is declared as a Heritage Place and currently not in use. We were told we can enter only at 8am.

We moved on to the streets to shoot streets while we waited. And few of our members got few nice shots.

7:50 am- We went to the cemetery to enter. But can you believe Kolkata being punctual? We were made to wait till 8am before we could enter and entered sharp 8am. It was a different experience as we had never seen such great Graveyards.
The oldest grave we could find was dated back till 1778 and the most recent was 1898. We clicked some nice shots and took our great and dynamic group photo. We left the place around 9:15am

By this time our stomach started to send SOS to us and we headed for KFC, Park Street. There we took few shots of interior and had Chicken Buckets and Pepsi. Food in KFC is just Awesome!!! We moved on to esplanade for more street shots.

Thanks to Aparna we were treated at Ralli’s by her. If you are surprised wish her Happy Belated Birthday.

By 12:30pm we planned to go back and left with memories of a great day.
