The world has changed and so have the women of Kolkata. Not just confined to their homes like the yesteryears, they now manage their studies or jobs and look after their close ones as well with relative ease. Be it their parents, in-laws, children and of course the difficult husband if they have one. She is the new age woman who loves to go solo at times, with her soulmate occasionally and freaks out when eating out or partying with her friends and colleagues. She is equally comfortable flaunting her sarees and western dresses depending on the occasion. And she is invariably proud of her city. Come let’s follow her while going around this charming city of Kolkata.

Kolkata or Calcutta for ages

As this handsome gentleman cleans up before starting a new chase of life, we could hum together these few lines from this beautiful song on Kolkata in the movie Praktan, sung by two outstanding singers Anupam Roy & Shreya Ghoshal before starting our chase as well.

কলকাতা, তুমিও হেঁটে দেখো কলকাতা, তুমিও ভেবে দেখো কলকাতা,

তুমিও হেঁটে দেখো কলকাতা,তুমিও ভেবে দেখো যাবে কি না যাবে আমার সাথে

Kolkata. The lyrics suggest you too walk and see Kolkata, you too think about Kolkata and think about whether you will go or not go with me. This song in itself sums up the eternal spirit of this city, its culture, its heritage, food and its moments. And as always there is love in the air. A lot might have changed in the city over the years but its ethos remains intact. Coming with me? Come let’s go.

Chasing Woman Power

Her special moments

She loves her phuchkas

And adores Ma Durga
