Calcutta On A Winter Afternoon

Fri, 29 Nov 2024 04:55:46 +0000

I spent my whole afternoon at college street today. Finally went to Dasgupta and co. It's a 138 year old book shop. They still keep books in wooden Almirahs. I sat to read and buy books. Calcutta makes me so happy. The afternoons are slow. So many shops stay closed. People nap. The tram moves slow. There is a book tram too. They still use Bells there. Every city has a character, a shape , a personality. When I walk through the lanes of Delhi. It feels like it wants something from you. Delhi asks what you can do for it? Calcutta is open to conversations. It listens.
