An overnight journey of 15 hours by road. This took place in the first week of January this year, so it was cold. I am not sure about the temperatures but it must have been around 15 deg C. and lower as the night wore on. And no, this was not a planned trip. It was a result of fog making it difficult for the pilot to land the Kingfisher aircraft in Bagdogra airport (http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/aristarkhos/~3/x5J2z45JZcI/guwahati-to-siliguri-by-road.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Aristarkhos)2<p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/8KXxqPOmXslj2LWxKtWPUs-Dpzo/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/8KXxqPOmXslj2LWxKtWPUs-Dpzo/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/8KXxqPOmXslj2LWxKtWPUs-Dpzo/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/8KXxqPOmXslj2LWxKtWPUs-Dpzo/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/aristarkhos/~4/x5J2z45JZcI" height="1" width="1"/>http://aristarkhos.blogspot.com/2011/02/guwahati-to-siliguri-by-road.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6521582385953643419.post-7172869610410170746Thu, 20 Jan 2011 15:51:00 +00002011-01-20T21:21:51.601+05:30photographyFlip FantasiaFlickrsiliguriNot done anything to my Flickr page for ages...and I have been a little lazy in resizing and uploading.

But when a 3-year old SATA hard drive cannot fit into it just because of the stiff cables (IDE, SATA and two molex connectors) on the circuit board -- it can be very infuriating.

My first Joe Sacco read was 'Safe Area Goražde'. That too was loaned to me. Still rememeber, it was a hard cover -- personally signed by the author himself. The only Joe Sacco work I own right now is 'Palestine'...superb, cutting storytelling from the other side. But I intend to own more of his works in the near future.

Finally took some photographs of the place. They are a little shaky because I had my son in one hand and I was working the camera with the other. And daylight was slowly fading.
