Stock Exchange Building: The Calcutta Stock Exchange was one of Asia's oldest exchanges, but has sadly fallen into much disrepair these days. Low volumes and suspect liquidity are just some of the problems here, and I remember there was talk in the pink papers recently about how the market regulators, Securitie and Exchange Board of India, might recommend the closure of regional exchanges like this one. Aaa, but the old building is still gorgeous. :)
HSBC Building: A stone's throw away from the General Post Office, and it's one of Premankur's favourite old ladies here at Dalhousie. :) Personally, I think the HSBC building at Fort, Bombay, is grander, though.
Income Tax Office: That doorway is amazing! And yes, with the close of the financial year ahead, tax payment does make me see red these days! :)
