At the oldest polo ground in the world

On Sunday December 18^th I was at the Pat Williamson Ground, one of the oldest polo club grounds in the world. This ground has given birth to polo in Kolkata and this year Calcutta Polo Club is celebrating the 150^th year of its establishment.

With Tarun Sirohi

It was a historical moment to watch the inaugural match of the 150^th year of Calcutta Polo Club. 
I met Tarun Sirohi who is one of the umpires for the day's match and one of the finest polo players in India currently captaining the Indian Polo team.

The arrangements were very good and the organizers headed by the President, Keshav Bangur, deserve full marks for the same.

This is the only season in Kolkata where maximum for 30 days you can enjoy a sit out dinner. The Kolkata weather is suitable for only 30 to 40 days in a year when you can really enjoy the winter and the poolside parties. The five star hotel poolside dinners are also quite popular.

The place I went to yesterday, I visit every year at least once. The sound of water flowing down into the pool is indeed one of the most relaxing and is like a music for the soul and allows one to take a break from the city's noisy humdrum by being at its very heart.

Amongst the city’s five star hotels, as of now, I have observed that the quality of service, especially the cutlery and crockery presentation, was the best out here. I also give 100 per cent to the quality of service. This place has its own charm and the experience I had yesterday was indeed one of the best dinner experiences in Kolkata in recent times. Well if you haven't guessed it. I was at The Oberoi’s poolside.
