Trace Of A Kolkata Lodge With No Fearsome Surroundings To Dodge

Trace Of A Kolkata Lodge With No Fearsome Surroundings To Dodge

Are we to believe that lodges would be hard to come by in the city of Kolkata (Kolkata Is The Capital Of West Bengal State In India) and one would have to establish contact with a seaport on the Strait Of Gibraltar going by the name Ceuta. Kolkata is a wonderful city with wonderful residents be it ladies or gents. Way back in 2014 when I was in Kolkata I found it increasingly difficult to trace a lodge with different lodges counter having none with the appearance of hodge. Be it Surya Sen Street or Dakshineshwar lodges were least to be found with no intention to wear the crown. I spent nights in the waiting hall meant for sleeper class railway passengers with no occupant hailing from France City Angers. Nights were somewhat horrifying, days were not inviting wholesome fine as the sum total of efforts put in to zero in on a lodge where I could zoom in was next to nil and there were no spells of thrill. In Kolkata off and on I have discovered that lodges don't come easily even if one is fascinated by works of novelist Heyward. I won't say they are pricey but the interaction at the counter is itself dicey. No rooms, no rooms babble I come across quite often and all along gibberish is the interaction with gentleman all but wrapped in a towel. I wonder when rooms would come in plenty in Kolkata even if the owner is little weighty. Days shouldn't turn to weeks and stay in lodge in Kolkata should be exemplary treat. From north to south, east to west Kolkata still takes the winner slot cake and is the best to rate. Kolkata We Hail You And There Are More Feathers To Tail You. 

Durga Puja In Kolkata

As I watch Goddess Durga Proceedings from news channels Calcutta News, Kolkata TV, TV 9 Bangla and ABP Ananda the all pervasive Bangla Ambience is something to cheer and it seems as if I have parked myself in West Bengal with no fear. Durga Puja is best celebrated in West Bengal and from Barrackpore to New Town to Asansol the festivity puts people on a roll. Hats off to these news channels for giving exhaustive coverage from pandals numbering over 100. Theme varies ranging from Water to be preserved at all cost to Manipur violence to some resembling Kedarnath Temple and accolades to be showered on host. 

As the war rages on in Middle East it is condemnable that civilians are being targeted and for how long this war would drag on taking under its belt enclaves after enclaves with no peace song. Two State Solution was the best to pitch for given the Oslo Accord of 1993 and here Israel rescinded on the promise and set the settlers free. We dread to think of what shape and what colour this war would finally lead to and relegating to history the sentiments of bru. Given the territory it is being fought and the unfolding plot Middle East is being punished for no fault and the uppermost query is when hostility sentiments would come to a halt. The world is split apart and for normalcy to return Palestine people need to be given their due with enough clue.
