Since I was in Kolkata, I wanted to vist the famed Bow Barracks (featured in bengali movie with the same name) for Christmas. Over the period of time, it has acquired a reputation of sorts for its Christmas celebrations. Bow Barracks were builts as a garrison's mess during the World War I. When the soldiers left India, they handed over the apartments to the Anglo Indian community who have been it's resident since then. The red buildings are in shabby condition. Christmas is celebrated in Bow Barracks with a handful of people of the community who are still residing. It has now become more of a show business as the place is thronged by thousands just to take a selfie or a picture. Hardly any food stalls selling the authentic dishes nor any musical events are experienced. . . . . . .
