Cool man! I'm an American from California, and have been living in Kolkata for the past half year. Also I've been watching you're videos since you started out you're RUclips journey. Glad to see you cover Kolkata as its definitely one of the best cities in India. Looking forward to future vids, just stay safe and keep on keeping on! Peace and Love, Jai Shri Ram!
Thank you, Will come again.
I hope you are feeling safer than in “Oakland” yk💀
P.S I’m from Kolkata living in Bay Area.
@@Z3U5.0greturn to India then, all will welcome you
@@Prakhar2410 Much better than what I was expecting, I was previously living in UK and India is a much better place to live in.
@@Z3U5.0g That's funny, I'm originally from the Bay Area too, Pinole CA, just a bit NW from Oakland. Yes had some crazy times in Oakland, but tbh I will always feel safest in my homeland no matter where I am. Hope Bay Area is treating you well, I'll have to visit again sometime. Peace ✌
What a beautiful tribute to kolkata ! Ijust likr it
A very unique city indeed!
If you are in Kolkata, don't forget to visit the suburbs like Serampore which was a Danish Colony and Chandannagar which was a French colony. It's a 30 min train ride from Howrah station.
wow ppl their really proud of being a foreign colony. pathetic.
lol all colonial stuff nothing authentic lmfao

Cause there was no Kolkata before the British... If you wanna visit authentic Bengal then visit Krishnanagore, Nabadwip or Bishnupur
I'll never tire of your India videos mate, always authentic and respectful of the people and culture. You're just a genuinely good person and that seems to be in short supply these days. Ram ram.
very true.
May Maa durga bless you.. Long live Bengali culture..
IF NOT BULLDOZED BY " JCB" AND "SHAHJAHAN " AND THE KHATOON.😂😂😂
JOY MAA DURGA / KALI.

Well looking at the influx of Bangladeshis, 10 years from now, there will not be any durga here. Just Allah.
Kolkata is not underrated but most popular place in the world. 5 Nobel prize from the Kolkata, highest in the world 🌍. Kolkata is known internationally as a intellectual production city and cultural city in the world.
Name those 5 Nobel prize winners
@@snehashispanda4808 Rabindranath Tagore , Amartya Sen , Mother Teresa, CV Raman ,Abhijit Banerjee and Ronald Ross
Culture is very vague. Name some good movies that have produced in the last decade ?None. Culture is synonymous with money and industry. If there is no money culture also dries out. Bengali film industry was at its best in the 60s, when it was economically the strongest in India as well

That is where my father worked. It is called Writers Building.
Very good coverage & commentary. Nearly 7 decades ago my parents from Trichy, Tamil Nadu came here and I am part of Bengal's rich culture that has practically turned me a Bengal-Tamilian person since my birth around 5 decades and a half.
People often compare this part of India with the rest with all negativities without knowing geographical impediments the state is having. It once attracted both educated peofessionals as well as daily workers and offered immense potentials in industries that saw natural clossures due to evolving advancements and demands of daily life. However, having said that, one has to agree that the metropolies of Kolkata has opened new avenues too and made considerable progress. One should not keep a blind eyes to the facts.
Anyway, I enjoyed your coverage. Kudos 😊
The way you stayed calm in that heat is really commendable. Really India needs to do a lot better in terms of trash management. Great video.
Yeah man,this is the safest city of India❤
😂
@@SheldonCooper0501why you laughing mate ? According to you which city is safest?
@@ANIK-qk9mz any southern city or Mumbai is relatively safer than Kolkata. Safety in Kolkata is joke 🤣😂
@@SheldonCooper0501and this is your opinion or based on some facts?
@@SheldonCooper0501yes southern states and states in North east are safer, but not mumbai.specifically South kolkata is safer and central kolkata is not safe..
Kolkata is The Living City, because it has a "soul". None of the cities in India have got that vibe which Kolkata has, but the current scenario is responsible for its decline
Agree
disagreed. Bengal still leads in various domains. Just seek them out.
@@chucha2 no one care
If You’re still in Kolkata please try to Visit Chandannagar for a day and enjoy the enriched French history of India!!!!
Love the videos. Ancient history is 1500 years ago or more, so colonial India is not ancient. I’m a stickler for language, I find it makes communication more clear.
Kolkata was one of the best and rich city in India before the takeover of Communist party as state govt. Now it's still good but lost it's glory.
Still the 3rd richest city in India.. and again it's growing
@@shibamdebnath254 it's now growing at all... that isn't call growing (compare to other states)
@@sayanbiswas757 state ? 😂😂😂 Bengal silicon valley hub fintech hub? Is that for 🤡? 8% gdp growth rate of Kolkata for 🤡?
@@sayanbiswas757 it's lagging somewhat compared to others like but It's growing no doubt. Easy availability of water will be gamechanger in future.
@sayanbiswas757 Kolkata probably one of the worse cities to live in rn.

Who said it’s underrated ? Which one is then overrated ?? I am an Indian staying in India since 50 yrs , never got this approach …. all cities have their positives and negatives brother , all the best 😊
the pandit is cool ..after giving tika he is like ' ha boliye '
Thank you for visiting and liking my city- Kolkata. Watching from Dubai.
best time to explore these old architectures is to walk these places in the sunday morning. 😌
Welcome to India 🇮🇳🇮🇳 West Bengal

@@sm.441 😂
i first saw your videos almost 7-8 years ago and it feels absolutely crazy that you're in my city, i'm glad that you are enjoying the city. this was a great video!
What I believe is, in 2075 India will be the most beautiful country on planet earth, at that time India will have less population, less people, less pollution, more jobs, full of culture and history like this will not happen in any other country.
What makes you think that?
@@oneill765 yeah it's already beautiful and we will all make our earth 🌎🌍 more beautiful
In your dreams😂
@quickloop3765 keep dreaming 😂
Keep dreaming 😂
Bro you should become a spiritual ambassador ❤❤❤Ram Ram 🙏🙏🙏
Love seeing your videos specially of India❤....Just one piece of advice-Please be a little vigilant of the traffic while crossing the roads here often which gets very chaotic and at times dangerous....stay safe ....best wishes from Kolkata, India❤
Your vlog is very well rendered, shows a lot of research unlike other popular but naive vloggers like Dale or Max or Chris. Keep up the good work brother!
Much love!
I can't stand that Max and Dale guy, so dumb!
May God Krishna keep you , your wife and son happy and healthy ❤❤❤
Get back to filthy Rajasthan. Get out
Excellent video . I am a resident of Kolkata and appreciate the understanding and care u have shown in the video.
If u are staying now, u can feel the rain in Kolkata 😅 or may be come during oct time or nov-dec when winter starts to hit the city.
You know pretty much about Indian culture and did good research on Kolkata as well. Good to see that. If anyone wants to visit Kolkata please avoid April - May and July - August. You will be able to enjoy the weather except these months
The most beautiful part of your video is you are respectful to our places and beliefs. Very few show that
are you visiting dakshineswar temple? it seems incredible!
This man is highly informative he knew which deity temple he has visited
I'm from Kolkata. Thanks for the video and thanks for coming to our city of joy. You're very much welcome. Love from the heart of Kolkata s. Travel safe and take care.

Hi bro come to take HAMBI IN KARNATAKA, GOA THESE ARE HOSTORICAL PLACES
The Howrah Bridge was built by the British in the 1940s.
excellent video. thank you!
As someone who lives here im so happy that you visited Kolkata ,not many people do!
In sundays the Borobazar area and major working sectors of Kolkata are less crowded because of the markets and offices are closed. If you get there in weekdays it will be very busy.
Man you should visit kolkata durning sharadiya festival .
Specifically durring these 5 amazing golden nights .
1) maha shashti
2) maha saptami
3) maha ashtami
4) maha navami
5) vijaya dashami
These 5 days are not just a festival for us . This is our emotion. And these 5 days (night time) feels like heaven .
And don't forget to visit shobhabazar shutanuti ( sonagachi red light area 🌚 🌚 🌚 )
Winter is a very pleasant time to be in Kolkata. Temp goes down to about 11 degrees at night and highest stays around 26 degress in the day. Book fairs and other leisurely activities grips the city.
Hello. Thank you for your lovely comment. I have a question. Suppose one wants to stay in Kolkata for a month or month and a half. What's a good and economical way to go about it? I believe Byomkesh Bakshi style lodges don't exist now? Please do answer. Grateful. Thank you.
@@Saanjh-Kumari you can stay at a decent pg. You can get a good one at around 7-8k per month inside the city. The old architectural houses are present only in north kolkata mainly. In south Kolkata there are more malls, hospitals, mode of transport than north Kolkata. North Kolkata for leisurely walks inside alleys that will take you a century back. Central kolkata has got historical buildings which are being used regularly for office spaces.
@@anishmaitra5934 thank you for the insight, will be of much help. 🙏🏻
@@Saanjh-Kumari welcome
Kolkata was 2nd most important city in British Empire after London.
i've heard from old people kolkata was like europe of india. after independence The Communist government destroyed & now pro islamic government is ruining this city.
Lucky that you people or your choice of people were not elected by people of bengal and kolkata to run the place. Just look at rest of india where your so called non pro islamic govt has been in power. You people are shameless and blind to the core
@@ABO-Destiny I think it's enough time for you Abdul, to be on the phone . You can keep down the mobile and lick didi's shoes . And because your so " glorious " TMC no youth wants to live in kolkata . I don't think you should be calling " others " blind. Because you feel lucky that cpim and tmc ran west bengal , are you happy that now bengal is not even close to what it was ? While southern states are living happily developed despite they started after us ( not kerala, even though they have literacy bengal couldn't achieve , they are still being run by your lucky government cpim. ) mumbai and Delhi beat kolkata in everything . And you'll still say kolkata by any means is a good place to live lol ?
❤️❤️❤️ U from Kolkata 😍😘❤️👌
❤🙏🇧🇩
If possible, visit Kolkata again in October during Durga Puja. I can assure you, you'll never regret visiting once more during that time. You'll feel the divine energy of the City Of Joy.
Being the 3rd richest city Kolkata still is very humble and relaxing. And yes the city has a soul you will feel the vibe. Its one of a kind and still very glorious.
Your smile is contagious!
Much love!❤
Pls visit Kharagpur in West Bengal ❤️❤️
Very much thank uhh to come here ❤❤❤
One advice please visit.. new town , Salt Lake, sector v ,, ITC royal Bengal.. these areas r posh areas and highly developed area ...
What development? Tall shiny buildings are development? Dont speak like those gawar hindi speakers mate.
You can do a Collab with Benjamin Jenks YTber, he's also from America and covering all states of India in his vlogs 👍
Kolkata is a beautiful city but the problem is a lot of waste in the Mallick Ghat and surrounding areas. Also, I heard that Howrah is one of the dirtiest place in India. Truly a bad government in WB.
Anyway, love from Bangladesh. Jay Shri Krishna.
Yes, the Hindi speaking people and the Bihari people always hinder the cleaning process in Howrah, because they thrive in the filth. Their deiti is called modi or something.
Howrah was always one of the dirtiest in india. As far as city maintenance is concerned this govt. has done a lot , despite stiff and ugly political opposition from the ruling party of india. You are not well informed or do not have recent knowledge of the city. sorry.
By the way Vishuddha I really do enjoy seeing all those beautiful architectual styles you showed us. I saw other nice architectual styles in Udaipur and Amer near Jaipur as well as in Jaipur. What to say of Old Varanasi on the ghats and alleyways. The GopRo will usually overheat as it happened to me in hot places in Mexico and Colombia.
Ram Ram Brother
A city with a Rich History but sadly not preserved well due to never ending Politics 😢.
Hope it looks cleaner and better one day ❤
Actually kolkata ka e part aisa hi rahe kiunki is part ko aisa rakha gaya taki e Sare architecture istarha hi rahe.
Aur new building industrial area is sides me Newtown me kara ja raha he.
Abhi ke time political pblm he but growth thoda thik thak he pahele se karib 11-12% ke aspas. IT abhi 10% share he but 2025 me 30% ho jayga
Deep sea port kibhi tender pass hocuka he adani kam suru karega bahat jald
clean bhi accha hua Newtown- kolkata india ka 1st clean metro city bana kuch din pahele.
Great episode bro'...thanks for showing my town is such an insightful way...kudos! One curious fact about the Howrah Bridge is that it has no nuts or bolts...entirely constructed by reveting metal shafts! Watching fr Delhi
Kolkata is not empty … you are out at the wrong time .. the place you showed for the first five minutes are the main office areas and that’s why you couldn’t see a lot of people there .. if you could have walked a little more to Chandni’s chowk you would have been surprised 🤣🤣 just 5 mins walk from Dalhousie (the place you were at)!
Loved the video btw :)
I am from Kolkata, thank you for visiting us ❤
Ram Ram Brother ❤
BANG ON BRO!!!!YOU GOT THE PULSE!!😊😊❤❤
Thank you for making the video of my city ❤❤. May be you went there on Saturday/Sunday. Most offices there stay close on weekends. My
office is nearby. Opposite of Calcutta High Court which, completed it's 200th birthday today. I also love old heritage buildings.
bro thanks a lot for showing my city my birth place, its called city of joy, currently i am in Australia for job purpose, ....you only visited north Kolkata, i would like to request you or invite you come and visit south kolkata, its not less then NY...i am from south kolkata... both part has his own beauty...north historic and south modern kolkata...come and visit i'll be happy to receive you...
Are those Tulasi neckbeads :) ?
Yes 🙏
You have lot more unexplored things to see in kolkata.
Reminded me of the good old colonial days, when he says bohut acha
Jai Shree Ram !!! My city my love my joy n my Kolkata❤
