A vibrant community celebrating the essence of Kolkata, with a focus on content related to West Bengal or the Bengali community of India or abroad.
Kolkata is known for its literary, artistic, and revolutionary heritage; as the former capital of India, it was the birthplace of modern Indian literary and artistic thought. Kolkata has been called the "City of Furious, Creative Energy" as well as the "cultural capital of India". The city has a tradition of political graffiti depicting everything from outrageous slander to witty banter and limericks, caricatures, and propaganda.
কলকাতা, পশ্চিমবঙ্গের রাজধানী এবং ভারতের সাংস্কৃতিক রাজধানী | ১৯শ শতাব্দী ও ২০শ শতাব্দীর প্রথম ভাগে বাংলার নবজাগরণের কেন্দ্রস্থল ছিল কলকাতা। এই শহর বাংলা তথা ভারতের ধর্মীয় ও জাতিগত বৈচিত্র্যপূর্ণ এক সাংস্কৃতিক কেন্দ্রও বটে। সাহিত্য, থিয়েটার, শিল্পকলা ও চলচ্চিত্রের ক্ষেত্রে এই শহর এক স্বতন্ত্র ঐতিহ্য বহন করে আসছে। ভারতের অন্যান্য শহরে ক্রিকেট বেশি গুরুত্ব পেলেও, কলকাতার অধিবাসীরা ফুটবল ও অন্যান্য খেলার প্রতি বিশেষ গুরুত্ব দিয়ে থাকেন।

Hello, Kolkata folks! Do we have any places here where people can go to play indoor badminton, tennis, or similar sports? I’m looking for something like the sports facilities people in Bangalore or Delhi enjoy, where they unwind after work or recharge on weekends. Any recommendations for good indoor sports centers or clubs in the city?

Hey Calcuttans,
My username itself will reveal where I hail from 😎
Hope it was a good Diwali for you all
Will be travelling solo to Kolkata and Darjeeling in the last week of November. I have budgeted 3 days for the former and 2.5 days for the latter.
Intending to visit Kalimpong as well from Darjeeling.
Just wanted the following info from those who've been there:
Are shared taxis available to Kalimpong from Darjeeling? If yes, what's the tariff per head and the frequency of these taxis? What is the travel time
Do these taxis have a round trip, meaning - Can I depend on these to cover Kalimpong in a single day?
I also plan to catch my flight to Bangalore from Bagdogra. What would be the one way fare and travel time from Darjeeling/Kalimpong?
Lastly, suggest some worthwhile places to cover in Kalimpong! I have googled them, yet would like to take some guidance from experienced travellers!

তোমায় ছোঁবো, একটা চুমু খাবো, চোখে হারাবো।
ভেবেছিলাম, জানো প্রিয়! কিন্তু এই মৃত্যুপথাত্রী চায়নি তোমায় কষ্ট দিতে। চায়নি তার জীবনের শেষ স্মৃতি হোক তোমার কান্নাভেজা চোখ।
জীবন বড় জটিল, জানো প্রিয়? তোমায় আজীবন ভালবাসবো বলেছিলাম, কিন্তু তুমি কেমন ফিকে হয়ে যাচ্ছ। আমি কি দোষী? হয়তো, কিন্তু জানো প্রিয়, তোমায় দোষ দিতে পারব না, মিথ্যে কথা গুলো আমিই হয়তো তোমাকে বলতে বাধ্য করেছিলাম।
ক্ষমা করবে প্রিয়? কোরোনা ক্ষমা। অযোগ্য আমি, দয়া, ক্ষমা, ঘৃণা, সবকিছুর। মনে রেখোনা আমায়, আমি এক জ্যোৎস্না রাত্রের বিভীষিকা মাত্র।
ভুলে যেও। তোমার ভালবাসা আমি রেখে দেবো আমার কাছে, ওটা আমার বড্ড প্রিয়। আমারটা ছুঁড়ে ফেলে দিয়ো, ওতে বিষ আছে! ওতে বিষ আছে! ওতে বিষ আছে।

This is not the Kolkata Book Fair. It's the smaller one that's organized in City Square in front of the Central Mall in New Town. Can't seem to find any info on the dates or if it's even happening this time.
It usually runs from the end of December to the first week of January
Any info would be appreciated!

Hello everyone. I’m thinking about selling photos that I have taken, as prints but have absolutely no idea where to start, so I’d love any advice you could share.
Since I’m completely new to this, I’d like to keep the sale confined to Kolkata as of now, to lower the shipping costs, atleast until this thing kicks off.
I'd be grateful if any of y'all could advice on I can set up the whole process, like where to print the photos, and where to start, as I'm entirely lost.
As a beginner, I'd like to start out entirely online. I’d appreciate any tips on where to get started, platforms I should consider, and any advice on setting an appropriate price for prints. Marketing is also a big unknown for me, so I’d be grateful for guidance on how to get my work out there effectively.
Thanks so much to anyone who can help me out – I’m really grateful for this community’s support!
Just a basic rant and observation that i had last night. Why kali pujo got that flair to it the excitement and conclusion to the long run festivity post pujos, which significantly, didnt have that feel to it. The RG Kar incident did leave a traumatic and haunting impression among the masses, which made us question is it morally right to involve one self to the festivity, we were in denial, confused, pressed even. After durga pujo, the masses still got a clear conjuncture, the durga pujo was a lessom and this kali pujo, it felt more of a pujo, the essence of durga pujos were still there.
(i understand if it doesnt make sense, hell even i dont know if it makes sense or not, just wanted to know if u got the same feeling too)
hope you guys spent a lovely time the way you wanted <3
