Journey ... India

- Kolkata 2011-2012, 2014-2015

Bag om Journey ... India

I once asked a writing instructor how to write about a place I had never been to. The instructor replied simply, "You go there!" My friend and client Rosalie Giffoniello wanted me to help her write her memoir about her encore career ... to provide educational funding for children who live in the slums of Kolkata (Calcutta), India. In her manuscript for that book, Reclaiming Lives, she had already written great copy of the people and their emotions, but the story needed a description of the place. So I went there. This book, then, is a compilation of my interactions with Rosalie and her teachers and the students as well as adventures in this densely crowded megapolis that I created on my own. Read this book and you will see scenes, people, culture, schools, and religions of Kolkata that you will never find through a travel agent or tourist guide. You will be there! It is the 17th in the entire "Journey ..." series and the sixth and last of the "Under Angels' Wings" subset theme. 110 photos, links to five YouTube videos.
