I Didn't Expect CALCUTTA To Look Like THIS !
On my first visit to Kolkata, I have realized that this place has an appeal like none other. Ek metro city hone ke baad bhi it has held on to an old-world charm. For a place which is driven by emotions and love for its rich history, culture and food, choosing one particular favourite is just impossible.Chaahe south calcutta ki sleepy bylanes ho ya phir yahan ki trademark yellow taxi, there is an undeniable charm that the city emits - with it’s old buildings, the slow tram journeys, the busy markets, the quiet corners and the people sitting outside tea shops having their daily dose of‘adda’; vaapis jaate hue in sab yaadon ko samete bas itna hi chaunga ki ye "CITY OF JOY" jaldi hi mujhe phir se bulaaye

I am a hardcore Calcuttan. The whole of my 28 years of live I've lived is in Kolkata, except for last 5 months I am living in Andhra Pradesh due to job.. Watching this video, relieving the walks on college street, relishing Balaram Mullick's Baked Rosogolla, cycling around Victoria Memorial etc made my eyes pretty moist.... Great job documenting my favourite places.. Thank you!

Thank you for the positive views about my city. I have been to many cities in India but my city Calcutta is the best. Best Chinese food in India. Most of all people leave in total harmony . This city welcomes everyone . Come back again - you will love it even better during the festivals

Kolkata is basically a mixture of old and new thing.. like in south u can find colonial era building yeah skyscrapers r also there .. bt in the north part like newtown, saltlake.. this area is like modern architecture like smart street , high rise skyscrapers , big companies headquarters etc .. .. yeah i love my Kolkata ❤️

It's a city of contrasts. On the one hand, visitors and travelers love the city because of its old-world charm and the nostalgia it evokes. On the other hand, many residents have to leave for greener pastures because a metropolis cannot thrive just by looking to the past. Whenever I see videos like these, it also evokes a sense of melancholia in me. Great presentation nevertheless.

@proy51164 5 месяцев назад

Loved the video. The puri that you had for breakfast is called Luchi. Kolkatans will be scandalized if you call it Puri 😊. Also the name of city is pronounced as Kolkata (coal-kata) and not cawl-kata.

we (our family) like to watch your videos and hardly miss any.. so when you released this vlog we were eager to see how you portray our city. A city/town/place/locality builds its own identity over time and to showcase that, one definitely needs locals who can tell the stories the place has gathered over time. We absolutely understand that this is your vlog, so your thought process & decision on what to and what not to show. We respect that too. But we can't hide but tell that this vlog of yours hasn't captured the soul of our city.

@THEUNTRAVELSHOW 5 месяцев назад

@@THEUNTRAVELSHOW sorry to respond late.. Yes, I had seen that episode and I liked it.. you tasted the best sondesh in the world and thanks for sharing your view on Kolkata biriyani compared to Hyd, Blr biriyani :) since it is Kolkata biriyani I want to share a view, again :) (blame it on my love for the city & biriyani). Regarding aloo in Kolkata biriyani what you mentioned is indeed a popular belief - "Wajid Ali Shah didn't have enough money and had to add aloo to meet ends." It seems that most say this without trying to dig deep into the facts. Here is my alternate theory backed by two well known facts about Wajid Ali Shah. First Wajid Ali Shah used to get a monthly grant of 100,000 rupees, so his financial status (though not like the nawab of Lucknow) was good enough to provide more than one piece of meat in every serving of biriyani. If there is a counter argument that 100,000 was still very less, then I will point out that the nawab who was not so well financially, moved from Lucknow to Calcutta, Metiaburz with 1000 or more khansamas (apart from other group of people in different professions). If he can afford to employ so many workers, khansama, officals, guards etc. We can assume that he was also capable to afford a piece of meat in every serving for his team. My next point, Wajid Ali shah was known to have a liking for aloo. Some even say that due to some dental issue he had asked his khansamas to prepare a meat dish that shouldn't require much chewing. Thus galawati kabab or more popularly known as galauti kabab came into existence. So, if we add-up the no financial problem + liking for aloo and tender pieces, you will find an alternate theory of introduction of aloo by Wajid Ali shah in Kolkata biriyani.

What is not expected to look like? Even in current standard of world cities it is surprising that kolkata is lagging behind by 30 years in development. The same slums, dirt, poor infrastructure, crowd and posters , shabby electrical wires , lines, and billboards all around. It is very difficult to achieve this apathy and maintain it. Only the rilling party can do this. Kolkatan's like that obviously, that is why 90% people in kolkata vote for TMC. We have become used to live in pollution, crowd, dirt, noise and heat to such level that when we go to open and developed cities, we start missing our city. It's not the sentiment that we miss, it's our psychotic obsession that draws us to the dirty city.
