A picture is worth a thousand words, or so they say. If I had to describe Kolkata in as many words, I couldn’t do it justice. Kolkata is much more than just a metropolis in India, home to Victoria Memorial, people crossing the street wily-nily, a hub for the creative and artistic, a place that commerce and industry left behind, a place of extreme passion and “adda-bazi” – it is Cal! But if I had just one picture in which to tell somebody about this marvelous city, which one should I pick? How should I sum up Kolkata in a single picture? The stunning view from the racecourse, the unknown fountain in the heart of the city, a busy street section representing everyday life, the infamous Kolkata buses that ferry lakhs of people every day, or the passion at Eden Gardens? If you had the choice, which picture would you choose?
