Kolkata - The City Of Joy
Someone once told me that a camera does not lie (Photoshop does though). If I click a photograph today and another one after a year, it will show me difference in Black and White (may be in color). The point here is that the differences shows up without any emotional bias as opposed to human eyes.
Calcutta, now known as Kolkata has been very unlucky with the publicity she received in the recent past. It has been mostly bricks and seldom praises, in spite of being the City of Joy.Today I am posting a series of pictures that I have received by an email from a friend. It will change your perception. These are photographs and they are not supposed to lie! (Kudus to the photographer)
Kolkata is in the heart of every Bengali with all its pluses and minuses. We all dream of settling back there one day.
We too say... next Durga Puja, we will be in Kolkata!
You made Howrah station beautiful for me!! The princep ghat facade is a new addition?, I have not seen it. Calcutta is full of heritage and grandeur, and I love that city like I love my mom..we dont get along..but we cant be away for long either!!
