City of joy, capital of chaos, citadel of culture ? How do you describe Kolkata?
It's, in fact, a combination of all these and much more - a cocktail of an inimitable culture and literature with a few bandh snarls thrown in! The city's football mania is as overwhelming as it's love for art, fetish for fish and passion for Rabindrasangeet. The cultural fervour of this throbbing city would drown the fatigue and inertia that most people complain of .
I have an emotional tie with this city - it actually began by default during my days of childhood.I just can't leave this city because it's not up to the it's landmark.
Today kolkata is undergoing a metamorphosis from tradition to modernity, a study in contradictions. There is a steady current in the city's life akin only to the majestic flow of the ganga , like the endless ripples of this mighty river, this city in it's many hues.
