(West Bengal)


India's Eastern Metropolis

The city of options and extremes, that's what we would like to call this bustling, bursting at its seams metro. With each trip you make, there's always something new to check out, be it the new found mall culture, or the age old clubs with some delicious food, or a brand new restaurant that's found its way on the busy Park Street, a new coffee house, a new pastry to dig into at Flury's and yet amidst all this freshness the city retains the glory of its age old culture, its awesome book stores, the auction houses, the wonderful trams, the passion in the people, be it for cricket, football or politics.

It's a city with a hand on art, history, culture, music, theatre, food, and Joy. Why even the people here are all joy's like Ajoy, Bejoy, Sujoy! It's the city that makes people smile. Kolkota is certainly a City of Joy! In the true sense of the word.
