I am flying to Calcutta today

I am flying home from Singapore to Calcutta (Kolkata) today. I will meet my wife, whom I haven't seen since she went back to teach in her college in Calcutta at the end of June after spending five weeks with me in Singapore.

And I will be seeing my son for the first time in more than a year. We last met when he spent his summer holidays in Calcutta last year. We chat online almost every day, but he has been at his college in America while I have been working in Singapore. Now he is in Calcutta. He flew home in August after spending most of his summer holidays completing a project in his college.

He isn't returning to his college in America for the fall semester.

He will be spending the next three months at a university in Britain instead under a "Study Abroad" scheme popular in his college.

My wife and I will be accompanying our son to Britain just as we went with him to America when he enrolled in college two years ago. We will be flying from Calcutta to London in the first week of October. My wife and I will return to Calcutta at the end of October.

My son will return to Calcutta in December. He and his mum will be spending Christmas and New Year together before he returns to his college in America.

This will be my last post till I return to Singapore in November.

Of course, I am looking forward to being with my wife and my son. It is she who wanted to accompany him to Britain. He insisted he could take perfect care of himself. But she didn't want him to travel alone.  She also loves Britain. It may be partly because she teaches English.
