Back to Kolkatta for one last night and stay in a high end newly refurbished hotel. The rooms are spacious and modern, there's a TVs in the bathroom and the breakfast is great. But outside the central streets have herds of goats, wonderful chai wallers and homeless sleeping in the pavements. The reception staff ask "is this hotel like India?" And I reply yes, you can shelter away from the harsh reality of the lives of the street people, you can buy grandeur but poverty is just s few steps away.
