Good morning folks,





It is a great morning in Kolkata. Just kiddin! Pretty bad and sucky one with a bad traffic jam that took me nearly two hours to reach my office,  which usually takes only 25 minutes to reach office. Yeah it's pouring heavily from last night and Kolkata's one disadvantage is that when it rains, the traffic seems move at a snail's pace. Anyhow here's a pic from today's morning scene.

Feature & Follow #17: My Ideal Library



Good Day peeps,
Hope you're all having a great day. The rain in my city is now under control and the water-logged streets have all soaked up and the water has been pumped out from those streets. Anyhow, we are managing and surviving the monsoons.


It's time to have a new feature and follow blog post, which is a weekly meme hosted by Alison Can Read and Parajunkee's View.



What is Feature and Follow Friday?
 
In simple words- to gain more followers either via GFC or Bloglovin'. So the very idea of having this feature and follow meme is to collect more new bloggers on the block and to make new blogger friends as well as followers. It is a great idea which was started out by Alison and  Rachel. Three Cheers for those two masterminds!
