Oxford Book Store, Park Street, Kolkata

The Oxford Book Store (managed by Apeejay Surrendra Group) at Park Street, Kolkata has been my favourite hunting ground since my school and college days in St. Xavier’s School & College.

Especial during my BCom days (1993 – 96), when my college got over at 9:40 am, I was often the first person to step inside the iconic book store.

Outram Street

For the last 80 years the colonial styled bungalow at 4, Outram Street have served as the residence of the Carmelite Nuns, who barely step out to show themselves to the world.

Its hard to believe that the colonial styled 200 years old bungalow, which once belonged to a Muslim raja, houses a nunnery.

I am no stranger to Park Street as I had spend a decade and half in St. Xavier’s School and College, which has been a second home for me.
