What do you think of when you think of Bengal or Kolkata?

Question

just wondering. i was born and brought up in uk, but my family comes from Kolkata. I know that it's horrificaly overcrowded and most places can be dirty and stuff...but compared to Mumbai can't it have good points?

i think of shingara, phuchka (I LOVE IT!) all the malls and the goods being sold on the street....

what do you think of? xo

Answer 1

If you put your head down you will see dirty and dust it is obvious.

Just look up and the horizon you will find

Monument, Victoria Memorial, River Ganga, Ravindra sadan, Zoo at alipore, Howrah and Hoogly Bridge and  colourful people from various profession and social status etc...

Bengal has many more beautiful places to watch and experience. Mukutmanipore, Murshidabad, Bankura, Birbhum etc.. are some of the places with magnificent structure and colourful villages and culture of West Bengal.

Fill your mind and heart with the colours, forget others. enjoy Kolkata the capital of West Bengal.
