Wish You A Very Happy Birthday My 'City Of Joy'

Hello Local Guides,

Today is the birthday of my ‘City of Joy’ or ‘Kolkata’ as you are all familiar with this name, more or less. So here I am sharing the vivid panorama image I took very casually, while experimenting the panorama section of my cell phone, in a wintry afternoon of last December from the top most floor of World View, Jadavpur University. Also, this was my first time I took any image in panorama format, and found it absolutely stunning as it looks in sunlight with a clear sky view. Here the picture is . .

I born and brought up in the southern part of the city, so it’s the place where I spent my childhood, teenage days and so on. This city means, a lot to me even just more than a place where I grew up. For all the Bengali’s here, we know this city is an emotion for us and I personally never ever think of leaving my city, and just move on to any other places whatever the extras I may get, it can never fulfill that level of satisfaction in our hearts, just for sure I think. The northern alleys, the tea stalls, the city’s heritages, Bengali culture, People, Ganges, Howrah Bridge, Ghats, Coffee House etc. all the beauty lies with the places, can define it in one word and that is just ‘love’. It’s the city where we celebrate ‘Durga Puja’ at Muhammad Ali Park, removing aside all the religion conflicts, since centuries. Our city knows how to welcome anyone from outside, believe me you won’t be disappointed if you’re visiting here for the first time, but you’ll be in love with and will eventually find out the fruition of the name ‘the city of joy’.

Happy 334 to you, Kolkata, many more to go ! :sparkling_heart: :india:

Thank you so much @Adrija_97 for sharing about our beloved City Kolkata with all of the Local Guides in this global platform.

Kolkata is a city, associated with lots of emotions.

Spending the morning near Rever Ganges with cup of tea and having breakfast with করাইশুঁটির কচুরি and ছোলার ডাল is a perfect start for a bengali guy. Then roaming around Victoria/ Park street/ Esplanade area followed by lunch in some famous Bengali Pice Hotel ! Then a matinee show at Nandan and adda in Rabindra Sadan area in the evening with famous তেলেভাজা (চপ) and tea.

This is something I am missing during this days about my city.

কলকাতা মায়ার শহর, একবার যে থেকেছে, সে এই মায়ায় নিশ্চিত ভাবে জড়িয়েছে।

শুভ জন্মদিন আমার শহর
