I don't care what they call her...Kolkata or Calcutta...she is just the same mystic nymph for me...she is that beautiful dream that a man once dreamt...that beautiful dream that Agnes Goinxha Bejaxhiu...our Mother Teresa wanted to give a form of reality...and today thousands dream!!!! She is that austere beauty that reflects the rays of sun when it kisses the waters of Ganges..into the face of humanity trying to live a life of love and peace!!! Kolkata...the beautiful dream of us all..the land of Kali...the city of palaces...my city of joy!!!
It all began...as they say...on 1690..when an englishman named Job Charnock...dreamt a vision of a beautiful city...a city of new world!!!! Thus, three villages Kalikata, Sutanuti and Govindopur ...came together to form this beautiful paradise!!!
I am not a man from the past...and i don't believe in describing something..about which i have read in a book...i describe..what i've seen...in my life...in my dreams...by my very own eyes...its my thoughts...and my views.....
Its Kolkata or Calcutta....as i've seen her...as i want to see her!!!!!
