Kolkata... Everytime when people ask me how is Kolkata, I am like it is very difficult to describe in words because Kolkata is feelings, Kolkata is emotion. People ask, isn't Kolkata very slow city? People are lazy!!! Yes, may be. Because people here slow down, stop and enjoy beling alive.
Kolkata means Howrah bridge, Kolkata means Tagore, Kolkata means Satyajit Ray, Kolkata means Sourav Ganguly, Kolkata means 'Sanskriti', Kolkata means Rosogolla & Sandesh, Kolkata means 'Ilish mach' & 'Golda Chingri' (lobsters) and Kolkata means "Durga Puja"!!
