What began as a trading outpost more than 300 years ago
has grown into a thriving metropolis - the melting pot that is Kolkata.
It has often been said that one has to live in the city of Kolkata in
order to feel its pulse. It is chaotic, volatile, noisy and decaying. On
the other hand it is vibrant, warm, indestructible, dynamic, alive and
friendly. A state of affairs often baffling to the casual tourist but
completely explicable to the Kolkattan. |
