Basking in the Floodlight

The new Eden Gardens, Kolkata was shining in a new armour. For a "veteran" at the grounds, having visited it 21 times since 1993, at an age of about 26 years, I am quite a potent judge to spot the Hocus Focus (BIG) that have been into place and also in place of!!!

In one go, I would say, I loved it!

All new Neelkamal seats are in place, with new and improved flood lights that made the glow irresistible to the eyes, if glared constantly at the pitch for long. The trademark electronic score board, the first in the country, apart from the floodlights, was replaced by a HUGE LCD screen, that did the job of the Score as well as Replays. But, along with that, replaced one, there was also another new incorporation over the J-Block.

The grass trim on the ground bore a Sun Shaped structure and because of the IPL going on, hosting KKR had its light illuminating the backside of the galleries. Looked nice and purple. Here are some snaps, which I would like to put in place.
