First 24 Hours in Kolkata

Business class on the flight was pretty nice. We had an Indian meal-so much food I couldn't eat all of it and I had wine to help with sleeping. We had TV monitors but my headset outlet didn't work. I could hear background (for TV & music) but voices sounded garbled. As soon as dinner was done, we were given blankets, the lights went down and everyone started snoozing. This was about 7pm eastern which was only 4pm for my home time zone, but since I was pretty worn out from the trip to & day at JFK, I was ready! I slept a few hours though. I woke up & Jen was also awake. She tole me to use her TV & audio, so I watched a couple of TV shows, then went back to sleep. Just as they keep to a tight schedule for dinner / sleep, they also want breakfast on schedule, so after a quick fresh up in the lavatory we ate.
We landed in Delhi and as we were deplaning, I heard a man announce 'something something Kolkata'! Then just up ahead another directed us transferring to Kolkata to step into the corridor on the left. Not one person in my company who has been here had told us to be aware of this! Soon there was a good sized crowd and then an airport gentleman came over to us to ask our names to check against their list. We were then asked to follow him with another gentleman. We were led away from the crowd -well this is a perk of business/first class. We were taken directly to the airlines Maharajah Lounge to await our flight. There was some food we snacked on and soft drinks and bottled water. We had about a 3.5 hour wait (lost track of time, so not exactly sure). Near boarding time we were escorted to security. The security officers have it way over TSA in making me feel secure - they are in shape and they carry rifles. We were led to a shuttle after showing our boarding pass & passport several times. So we got to the plane and put into the first class seats. I could not stop myself from falling asleep shortly after take off. I was awakened for dinner which I didn't want, but the attendant insisted some soup. It was a light tomato soup that was like someone put in too much pepper. I ate that and fell back to sleep.
At the Kolkata airport, a man assisted us with our H1N1 form and escorted us through the lines at immigration and on to baggage. Jen and I were so tired and both feeling aches and pains that we were grateful to let him. He and another loaded our bags onto carts and led us outside where we found the 3 TCS trainers and a Hyatt hotel driver - no one from Supermedia. After a brief visit with Suman, Chandan & Vengat our bags were in the car and we were ready for the 20 minute drive to the hotel. After checking in and being shown my room's features, I took a heavenly shower. I watched NatGeo on the TV until I fell asleep just before 1am.
I awoke around 6:30am. It was just dawning over the city. I can see the huge Eden Gardens cricket stadium from my room. It is closer than I thought from seeing it on google maps. Down below is a large empty field and even that early there were young men gathering to play some pickup cricket or soccer. They were there all day (not necessarily the same groups).
I have been advised to stay up until 4am & get up at noon to start getting acclimated to working nights here - trying my best. Sorry for such a long post.
Time to go to dinner...
