There are 2 kolkata. 1. Old kolkata ( north, central and few parts in South kolkata..) 2. New kolkata. ( most of south kolkata + em bypass, newtown). So its a blend of century old building and 150 mtr tall skyscraper..

Hi I was in Calcutta in June 2023. Stayed at the Kitchner's House in Fort William. Did two heritage walks. One with Calcutta Walks and other with Funonstreets. Went to the iconic eateries in Park Street. Left my soul there. ❤ Blessed are those who don't have to find any reason to be there. I think one lifetime is not enough to know this city. It has layers to it. I wish I could share my Facebook posts with you. I am a teacher and I show your videos to my students to make them fall in love with traveling.

[@PS_70]

Garbage city

[@proscrips]

Kolkata is like a food dish. Either you love it or hate it. There is nothing in between. I have stayed in few cities in India & been to many others for travel. Very few cities in India still preserve that essence wherein two timelines live together, one in past & one in future. Yes Kolkata is laid back & maybe lazy at times & definitely irritates for business people but then money cannot be the sole deciding factor to fall in love.

[@kunallodaya]

Wow.. suna to tha Calcutta ke baare mein.. but what a city.. and even rare to see a "Pen Hospital" not sure if anyone else has covered the place.. what a gem!! Fab work!!

Calcutta the city that brings only happiness and prosperity. A true city of Joy. We feel it when we visit there. So loveable and what a beautiful volg it is as always.

[@THEUNTRAVELSHOW]

Thank you 😊💛

[@plmanisha]

This is my city...I have been leaving out of it for the last 14years ...but the charm of Kolkata and earge of coming back here has never been gone down. Despite a lot of not having and not growing Calcutta is standing out with her own identity.

[@amartyabag3678]

Thanks for covering my city. Few additions to the facts: 1) Potato was a new vegetable which was introduced in India - hence, it was added to Biriyani 2) Roll was introduced as the British officers didn't want to use their hands for eating kebabs 3) Sandesh is a genre of sweets and not one sweets. Yes nolen gur is made from date palm molasses

[@THEUNTRAVELSHOW]

Noted, thanks for the inputs 😊

[@ashokojha7184]

Kolkata is an elegant city full of historical monuments and mouth watering dishes, particularly sweets. Rashogulla and shondesh are iconic dishes.Anyone who happens to visit Kolkata is bound to binge on these delicacies. The video, in itself, encompasses a varied galaxy of dishes. It's going to be an information on tips to decide items on preference on a visit to Kolkata.. Too good Abhishek..

It reminds me of my life’s unforgettable moments of my daily hang outs in New Market, Lindsay Street, Park Street, Esplanade Area, Victoria Memorial with sumptuous food delicacies during my first posting in GSI next to Indian Museum in Chowringhee Road. It’s a very lively city. Truly a wonderful city of joy.

[@sunderj4774]

Respected Sir.I wish to state during my Calcutta visits since my office was situated near Tiger cinema my evenings were busy roaming around the Esplanade area and returning to my hotel in Hazira junction.But on a interesting note I wish to share another story.on a particular day after having rasgullas with my friend in K.C. Das myself and my friend were just chatting and enjoying the traffic There were two ladies standing at a near distance and smiling at us Both of us were smitten by her charm.She came a little near and whispered Rs 500/_.Our lust overtook our heart and we went along with her to a nearby pad.Due to some fear consciousness we both came out without performing and paid her the amount That particular incident was very memorable to me which I honestly shared withy wife on my return to Hyderabad.

Congratulations for your affection to the city of Joy, liked your video so much. One thing I can't stop myself to suggest you, its regarding Kolkata biriyani, you must try Park Circus Arsalan, keep it for your next time. Hope this will pull you to Kolkata again and again and will compell to miss it. Thanks for the sharing and stimulating my old feelings and nerves. 😊

[@THEUNTRAVELSHOW]

For sure 😊

[@pradipsen4496]

Kolkata Biriyani was developed by the chefs of exiled Nawab of Oudh, Janab Wajid Ali Shah. He lived in a small killa or Buruj made of brnt earth. Hence it was called Matiabruz. Still now the area is called Metiaburuj. Alu was added to the Nawab's biriyani to compensate for meat which was not sufficient for the large contingent of faithful courtiers and employees who accompanied the hapless Nawab. The British govt. gave him a monthly subsidy which was not enough to buy sufficient smount of gosht i.e. beef or mutton. Hence the introduction of Aloo. But the recipe of Calcutta Biriyani is totally different from its Lucknowi or Hyderabadi cousins. The taste is must more subtle and delicate. 🎉❤

Welcome to my city kolkata, to know Kolkata you need to spent some more time in Kolkata. You need to explore more places like Flurrys and Trinkas, Eden Gardens, Puja Pandals of south and north Kolkata's, kalighat and many more places

[@sunderj4774]

Mr Debabjan Sarkar I use to visit Calcutta every year from Hyd roam around the city and go back..but on one visit I remember there was an audit assistant who unofficially used to pester me to buy pastries at Flurry continuously fot ten days since my office was near New Market.I reported this matter to my Higherups and they graciously reimbursed my expenses..

[@debanjansarkar6660]

@@sunderj4774 and did you like them, yes I agree Flurrys is expensive, but other places where you can buy, like Nahum of old new market. Do visit again and explore many other places of kolkata where you will get, Chinese food, Parsi. food, Bangladeshi food, and food of Angelo Indian community. Do come to kolkata🙏

[@sunderj4774]

@@debanjansarkar6660 Respected Sir I thank you very much for your invite.I had always considered the city of Calcutta as my spiritual home.That love is inborn in me since during my childhood I had lived in Ballygunj .But i would rather wish to share a different story After several years I again happened to visit Calcutta every year as part of my Audit assignment.But on one trip I asked my Bengali colleagues can you guide me how to go to Kumartuli They were simply shocked for the fact why I was interested to go there My intention was to buy Small clay idols to adorn my house.I reached that place and I purchased lot of those idols.The underlying factor was it was near the vicinity of Chitpur which later I understood a Brothel area.All the misunderstanding turned to be a fun.I always made it a point to visit Belur and Dakshineshwar where I drew spiritual experience Now Fate took me to finally settled in U.S..Once again I thank you Sir for your nice invite.

Sandesh is actually a Sanskrit word which means 'News'. When a messenger was sent by any Bengali nobleman to another. Zamindar, a variety of these sweets made from cottage cheese or "Chhana" (not ' chhenna'' -- the stupid distortion in pronunciation by Hindi speakers) was sent along with the long written message. Hence the name Sandesh for this sweet. 🎉
