CALCUTTA IN SHORTS
Stories from Calcutta
To know Calcutta, the city of joy, you have to understand its
pulse, history, and the people.
Ask anyone for directions on the street and with his heavy
Bengali-accented Hindi-English, he will give you the directions along with a
few pieces of free advice.
The mechanic who declined to open his workshop for his
afternoon siesta will happily fix a midnight breakdown, sometimes maybe free of
cost.
At the local tea shops, people meet every day debating
politics, discussing the latest movie or a cricket match that was played a
decade ago. Seldom people wonder does this city ever move forward?
Calcutta is not the fastest paced city or the most perfect or
intelligent, yet we love Calcutta for its simplicity, the people, the food, and
their love for books.
CALCUTTA IN SHORTS, Stories from Calcutta, is a collection of short
stories that originate or revolve around Calcutta where I was born and grew up.
Available on Amazon KDP.
