The city that, I am currently residing in Kolkata. It is known as the city of lights. It has a great historical significance, as it was one of the capital of the British empire. The historical buildings from the British time are still prevalent. In this city also resides the biggest stadium of India, the Eden garden stadium. The people of this city love fish. Many renowned laureate and scholars are from this city like Rabindranath Tagore, Partho Chatterjee etc.
Someone moving to Kolkata should know it has the third largest stadium in the world (Eden Gardens). And Salt Lake stadium is the second largest football stadium in the world.
Calcutta’s the only city I know where you are actively encouraged to stop strangers at random for a quick chat. First city in India which started Underground Metro. Tram oldest mode of transport still running Kolkata. Known for famous sweet called Rasgulla. Those places where sadness and misery abound are favoured settings for stories of ghosts and apparitions. Calcutta has countless such stories hidden in its darkness.
