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।

এমন কেউ কি এখানে আছেন যারা তাদের learner license parivahan portal এর মাধ্যমে আবেদন করেছেন এবং সফল ভাবে সব ধাপ গুলো সম্পূর্ণ করতে পেরেছেন?
আমি সম্প্রতি আমার বউ এর learner license এর জন্য parivahan portal এ adahar based authentication ব্যবহার করে আবেদন করেছিলাম। আজ online LL পরীক্ষা দেওয়ার সময় দেখি “you have not completed the application flow to schedule an exam” এই message টা দেখাচ্ছে, যদিও আমার তরফ থেকে সব application stages/flow সম্পূর্ণ ছিলো । কেউ কি এই সমস্যা টার সমাধান জানেন বা কেন এই error message টা দেখাচ্ছে?
অগ্রিম ধন্যবাদ । 🙏🏽🙏🏽
I recently saw an Instagram reel about the immersive art experience at Indian museum. However there was conflicting information about the event. Some people commented its already over some said it is open till December 22nd.
I'm planning to visit it on 19th December, but if it is already over I will have to make some other plans for my date.
Does anyone has any information about this event?
You may have seen posts by millennial and boomers titled, " This generation ( us ) doesn't have a path, motivation or will to do or achieve anything ". By their means we are lost, lazy and crybaby. We don't know or listen to RD BURMAN, we don't know the outside world, we don't care about elders and many more... You got it.
I'm here asking what's their moto or motive? This stuff is all over social media , and I am not asking for solid reply I am asking why are they doing this? Please elaborate; I'm tryna find the root cause of this. ** I know, some of this is true, but same applies for them too. *** Constructive feedback will be appreciated.
Please suggest me some cool and first time date plans for my friend and his gf near techno India University!
Hey, guys!
I was wondering if there are any pilates classes in Kolkata? Pilates is extremely difficult and hard course. So it's all the way more difficult to find good trainers who are certified.
How do girls who practice pilates do it in Kolkata? Help a sister out.
Khub lomba post er jonno dukkhito. Kintu ami joto beshi sombhob information share kore proper feedback chaichi shobar theke. Ektu apnara time diye pore jodi ektu amake improve korte help koren, not just to get a relationship but also as a person.
Somewhat shy guy, can start and and continue conversations only till there are relatable topics.
I try to be empathetic, respectful, and thoughtful in my approach to relationships but feel like I often get overlooked or invest in the wrong people. My past three connections ended badly: one due to shyness, one due to betrayal, and one due to lukewarm engagement. Am I doing something wrong, or is it just bad luck? How can I improve while staying true to myself?
Hi everyone,
I’ve been reflecting on my approach to relationships and past experiences, and I’d really appreciate some honest feedback. I’m not desperate to get a girlfriend, but I want to ensure that I’m doing things right and not unknowingly sabotaging my chances. Here’s a summary of my approach, history, and some context about me:
I’m wondering where I might be going wrong. Why is it that I am failing or attracting the people who aren't right for me? Which are the points where I can improve while staying true to myself?
What yours though about this ?
Kolkata should implement this too !!

Despite all the praises it gets, we must note that despite the highest CTC being 185 LPA, the average is a meagre 11 LPA in its comparison. It means although they boast of 90+% placements in non-core and core branches alike, most of the students would end up getting about 4-5 LPA CTC, which brings down the average package by such a big margin.
Also, I have heard that M.Tech. students have to compete alongside B.Tech. students in JU during the placement season and they fail to bring in companies who are exclusively looking for PG graduates.
Jara Palestine, Cuba ar Kashmir nie essay likhe bhorie dichilo oder bodhay internet connection chole gache.
University te jader shate Kashmir ar Cuba nie michil korlam, oder nischoy bat er byatha.
2010 e jokhon RSS Geelani'r seminar disrupt korechilo kaali chitiechilo tokhon JU e bom kyalani diechilam amra RSS ke - tokhon jei Prof ra bolchilo "religious fundamentalism cannot be fought just with introspection, besh korecho" tarao nishoy khata correct korte byasto.
Mai dibbi JU ar JU'r student union er kache I owe my life and my political understanding. Never blindly trusted a political party - vote dewar shomoy I always knew, I am voting for the lesser evil, that is it. JU shikhiechilo ke kono political party ba political figure ke idol worship na korte.
Assam er NRC and ei Bangladesh er ghotonar por realise korlam JU ekta jinish shekhate bhule gechilo ba hoyto ami dhorte pari nai - kaokei political worship kora uchit na, but that extends beyond political parties and figures, and it includes the civil society and places like JU, JU ar JU'r political culture keo na hero worship kora uchit na.
P:S - RSS jodi JU r opor abar attack more, abar nambo rastai, kintu ebar mathai thakbe jokhon amar identity under attack hobe, JU ashbe na, JU michil korbe na. Kheyal thakbe! Khub kharap lagche because JU amar jibon change kore diechilo, erom sense of betrayal prothom bar dump keyeo hoyni - mai dibbi!
EDIT: I have been threatened by RSS types on my reddit, Facebook and Instagram often. Not bothered by it. Ajke left-wing lokra message korche, threat dieche na, gyan dieche about how dare I compare Palestine to Bangladesh. Ami Palestinian na, Ami Bangali ar Hindu, Amar identity '47 eo maar kheyeche, '71 o kata poreche, ajkeo religious fundamentalism er birodhita kore. Maybe Palestinians can learn a few things from Bengali Hindus as to how to face persecution but also not vote a Religious Fundamentalist to power.
Grand experiment, parota diye chyachra...joy Maa!!
Hi r/Kolkata, I'm from the North, and I wanted to ask you something.
Most of us both in the North and South see y'all Bengali Hindus as an enigma, very religious but not assertive of it. But in recent times, I've been seeing y'all be more assertive of religion, like we always thought you guys were the least Politically religious folks out there but nowadays, even like Bengalis I know outside of India and inside of India have started to become more religious, or atleast culturally.
I've seen quite a few folks who used to be liberal, turn right wing, especially after 2021. This is something I've especially noticed in y'all. I've got a few Bengali friends since there's a substantial population of you guys up north. I don't know if it's just my friends or maybe it's general?
I mean I always thought you lot were kinda liberal and patriotic but religious wasn't a word I associated too much with Bengalis but I've been seeing the subreddit and online and there's been a sudden growth of like Bengali Hindu religious channels and folks posting about their identity.
Is there a revival going on within you guys? I'm kind of curious.
Also, I don't mean turning right wing is associated with religiosity, but there's been a pattern I've noticed so.
i know the quality of Raja bazar science college has degraded but for it to slowly turn into a landfill was very unexpected

Some people are not worth the time honestly . Entertaining other people in a relationship, hiding the truth . This is what goes on for some people. They don’t understand that this is a form of cheating and then they finally go and cheat also . Recently have come to know something like this…
Loyalty and being for 1 person and focus on 1 person and work on and struggle with 1 person should have been so normal but so rare nowadays . This generation made loyalty tough .
Does anybody know where I am able to get these ?
Thanks

This happened today while travelling in train. I was in upper berth and this girl was in side upper. We both made multiple eye contacts for more than an hour. I was not confident enough to start conversation, we just kept looking at each other. Now, her stop was almost near and despite having a phone (listening music almost 2 mins ago) and her uncle near her yet she asked me what the time was. She tried initiating conversation, while dumb me just told her what the time was and that was it. I didn't take this opportunity to talk further. I feel so bad rn, she was cute af.
I'm am introvert with low confidence. :') I used to be on Tinder, and have talked to many girls out there and went out on some (very few) dates*. Still, I suck at approaching a random girl in real life.
Maybe, I'm overthinking this, maybe her phone was off.
How do you guys be confident when interacting with a random girl you've met an hour ago?
