[RECAP] Monuments in Kolkata virtual meet-up

Kolkata is not the only city of love, but also a city of monuments, there are so many monuments in Kolkata so. I organized a virtual meetup to discuss monuments in Kolkata and we virtually visited the places, we virtually visited total 17 beautiful historical monuments that could make Kolkata a “City of Monuments”!

It was highly meaningful and insightful virtual meetup. We spent some time to introduce local guides by themselves.

Then we went directly to the main topic monuments in Kolkata. I talk about 17 historical monuments and showed beautiful pictures of monuments which were captured by me personally with the rich and brief history of the monuments. I spent around 30 minutes with the topic.

After that we spent 25 minutes introduce Local Guide Connect with the newer members, chatting and discussing to keep Google Maps clean from spammers and scammers, continue to contribute quality contributions to the map and many more.
LG @PritishB shared his experiences to become “Guiding Star”. LG @BidurC talked over he gifted some saplings plants to the participants as a memory of this photo walk meet up (meetup no. 43) which was held by him.
Now I would like to thank you everyone for joining on behalf of Local Guide in the state of West Bengal.
সবাইকে ধন্যবাদ ও শুভেচ্ছা।
ভালো থাকুন সুস্থ থাকুন।

After reading the recap post I see, you all had a great time with all attendees. Congratulations @TravelerProdipta da for successfully hosting.

BTW, I was little busy at 8P.M. But after some time I was trying my best to join this met-up but the link wasn’t responded. Hope I’ll join another meet-up soon. Till then stay safe.

Thanks @TravelerProdipta dada for the initiative.

It was really a great time. And you have written the recap very well.

One suggestion regarding the recap post- If you are uploading a gif, please make sure the time gap between two pictures is a little more so that the audience can have a look slowly.

And a correction is the WBLG meetup number will be- 45

Stay safe and happy.

Waiting for more from you!
