The historicity of architecture...
& the competing pace of the City...
The aura of British hegemony...
& the Feudal lifestyle...
The mouth-watering delecacies...
& the the still pervading 'Bhadralok' attitude..
The roadside food...
& the tea stall 'international' gossip...
The peace and tranquility of Kalighat, Dakshineshwar, Belur Math and the likes...
& the chaos spread throughout the walled city...
The 'Metropolitan feel' Metro Train...
& the goon types Taxi wallahs
(perhaps the only 'non-red' 'public' thing for 'public-use'!!)
The heap of core intelligentia at the coffee shops...
& 'the best among them' smoking 'beedi' like some Eighteenth century Aristocrat...
A lot more to say...
Perhaps I am incapable to encapsulate all of it somehow...
I really am mesmerised with the 'City of Joy'...
Lucky are the fellas whom you have given shelter in your yard...
Kolkata!!
...here i go!!
But will miss the never ending smiles you made me bear while roaming through your streets...
(reasons perhaps I can not find out myself) !!
