Sathian was right again.

For the last month or so I mistakenly believed that Kolkata was below the equator. When we spoke about this at the airport yesterday Sathian politely questioned the accuracy of this. I knew at that point that I must have miss-read the map because Sathian is NEVER wrong about matters of history or geography. I thought the line on the India map was the equator when it was actually the Tropic of Cancer. Here is the map that tells the whole story.
