Let's face it, we all get to a point where we want to be just alone. We're out of money, excitement and probably friends. Yes, it's hard to believe but I guess that's the harsh reality. But, there is a silver lining. Look around you'll find a huge cultural heritage. From each chaiwala to some fried stuff street vendor. They all got their stories. Stop feeling pity for yourself and get out of house. Just wear a comfortable outfit and put your sneakers on. That's all what you really need when you're pretty low on budget but still want to 'treat yourself' with cheap thrills. Here's my own Hitchhiker's Guide to our Galaxy, our "Kokata" kolkata and thats too under ₹500 ($10) No matter where you stay whether it's mainland Kolkata or across the Ganges, Howrah, the rising city. You can always find the heart of it, the lovely tea-stalls. You'll not only find tea but also different people's opinions on different subjects.
