I’ve been flying over Kolkata for the last 11 years, and I don’t think I’ve ever seen the city look this boring from above. Kolkata just doesn’t seem to be glowing anymore. It feels so different from what I’m used to seeing.

Travel | ভ্রমণ ✈️ Coming from Mumbai, Kolkata’s vibe is completely different—and I finally understand why it's called the City of Joy ✨

Hey everyone! I’ve been exploring Kolkata over the last few days, and honestly, the experience from Day 1 has been amazing. I like the energy here and the people are really good.

Since I am used to Mumbai, it is very easy to compare both cities. One thing I noticed from the very first day is that people follow traffic rules—most people wear helmets and stop at red lights, which is really good to see 🚦.

There were a few cultural things that felt a bit new, but I was already quite aware of them and now I'm actually experiencing it all firsthand.

Right now, my pandal hopping is going on, and I also visited the Dakshineshwar Temple as well as checking out two-three pubs 🍻. The mix of everything here is just great.

I am meeting a lot of people and exploring different places. I will try to share more updates from today onwards 📸.

By the way, I am 26M and a pure vegetarian 🌱, so if anyone is in Kolkata and wants to hang out, or has any good vegetarian food spots/ mithaai or must-visit places to suggest, please feel free to DM me or drop a comment! 🙌

i'm never moving on over you, am i?

i've been romanticizing the city of joy, and my uni since day 0. now that it's been a year and a half since i passed out, i realise the memories are the real horror movie.

where did the carefree days go? i was an adult in college as well, but now that it's over, it feels like the real adulting has begun.

i miss you city of joy, i cherish the moments you gave me with all my friends, the days we spent being high, exploring the rooftops of all the buildings in the uni are really over, aren't they?

take me back, please. just one day would be enough. give me the pain back, the hurt, the love i felt and the relief.

the world's too cruel right now. i don't recognise the same people anymore. everyone's changed so so much. the world's a very different color now, the songs have changed, the grounds are all empty, and so am i.

take me back, my lover, it's too lonely here.

General Discussion | আড্ডা 🗣️ 🗨️ Anyone up for pandal hopping together this Pujo?

21 Upvotes

24F here from and amar Pujo plans ekhono almost nei 😭 I have plans for Sunday, but apart from that, Ashtami te ki hobe tao ekhono sure na. Tar upor office achey.

I really want to go out, pandal hop, eat some good food, roam around and just enjoy Pujo, but the problem is je amar shonge jawar moto lokjon nei right now. So bhablam ekhane post kori, maybe someone else is in the same boat?

I'd preferably love to meet another girl around my age, but I'm also open to a small group of people who'd be up for hanging out. Nothing too planned or fancy, just people who want to go out and have a good time this Pujo.

If anyone else has last-minute plans, or is looking for company to go pandal hopping with, please feel free to comment or DM me! We can figure something out.

(Edit: not looking for a date. I have a partner)

(Edit 2: I’m only looking for a female partner. Timings I prefer either early morning or after 5pm as I have to be back home by 10pm)
