I take Pride in Kolkata as it had managed to transform inspite of the odds, though not as intended, but then the city cannot be blamed for it.

This Photoblog candidly exhibits the Good, Bad & Ugly.

Thanks.

On initial thoughts, it is 'West Bengal' and 'Bengal-uru'

Set 8 | People, Clothes etc.

I hope this Photoblog does it best little to reverse the Brain Drain Kolkata has suffered, not that we here are 'Drained' of Brains completely. But more the merrier.

Else we will have more intense movies than the

'Bong Connection'.

btirthankar · 14th March 2010, 13:21

The Bong Connection had quite a lot of opinions matching mine. So featuring it here for those who have yet to see it.

'Bong Connection'.

Tirthankar, amazing again.
And obviously feeling nostalgic.

I guess there are one or two shots which is just stone throw away from my home.

BT: Good stuff. Enjoyed it.

Incidentally, have you ever wondered why most of the buses tilt to the right in a mostly Left-oriented state?? Maybe the technically interested among us would like to take a shot at answering this...

Tirthankar, you've made me nostalgic.

There's something about Kolkata that always draws you close to it, even with all the problems the city has.

Thanks and Excellent Observation. They calibrate the leaf springs on the right side a bit lower to be able to counter the body roll caused by hanging passengers on the doorsteps. Old 70's Legacy.
