Brother, yesterday I visited collage Street and bought some books for my college.

You should try Kolkata tram..
This guy convinced me to buy a plane ticket to India.
Safe travels
@The last of US
You can make a trip plan for next 22-30 october in kolkata for be a part of famous DURGA PUJA VACATION you will be amazed I assured you❤️❤️
Avoid Delhi
Edit: Avoid polluted northern cities*
most welcome brother, come & visit Kolkata, my city.. 😍
@sandip K people of delhi should look after crimes more,rather than pollution
You walked past Hindu School (ESTD 1817), Presidency College (ESTD 1817), Hare School (ESTD 1818) and Calcutta University (ESTD 1857). And yes, there was a time when these institutions defined academic excellence of the country. It is worth an episode just for these institutions :). But I am just glad that you chose to cover College Street and Coffee House. I was there is December, I wish I could show you around my city.
It is said that "If you can't find a book in College Street then that book probably doesn't exist"
Not true ... Many times i had to return home and order from amazon
@@rajrocksadi Maybe you didn't search well enough.
I had been hearing this exact thing from Baba for many years.
@@rajrocksadi Its not possible that you visited each and every shop...
@@rajrocksadi search properly
That detective book is Sherlock Holmes, translated in Bengali.
Thik
Yes 😂
@sreetama chakraborty i was also going to make this comment
Elementary my Dear Sreetama
Ha akdom didi😀😀😀
You are exploring the city better than local guys
Yes local people only suffer to search
Fully agree, We the Bengali's dont know what we have and should be feeling proud off. We need to learn publicity from some other community, really needed.
I'm never agreed with something so much.
@@santanu0065 I've never visited Coffee House myself, although staying in Howrah since birth
@@Rahul_Jaiswal98 that's the problem guru, we underestimate our heritage, although I used to visit this place during my college days for buying cheap books and some leasure time spending.
I've seen your videos
Now I wanna go to India
Love your work from Japan ❤
You are most welcome
I'm indian and planning to go to Japan!!❤❤
Welcome to India
❤️🤟🏻
Don't forget to bring some Mangas
Now Carlos must have understood why Kolkata being called “City of Joy”. A city, can make everyone happy - super rich, super poor, super talented, super literature, super foodie:-) n many more. This city has everything including its own and oldest Film industry, called Tollywood. Most top talent in music industries are from Kolkata. Largest numbers of freedom fighters even most popular Netaji is from Kolkata. Swami Vivekananda is also from Kolkata. First Nobel literature KaviGuru is from Kolkata. Highest numbers of Nobel literature in India either born here or worked here or Both
. First Oscar winner is also from Kolkata. First metro in India started in Kolkata in 80’s. First mobile call being made from Kolkata ( J. Bose - CM of WB called telecom minster in Delhi). First building with Skywalk ( First in Entire South Asia I think) also from Kolkata. First underwater metro project under construction in Kolkata. Largest and FIFA approved Football stadium is in Kolkata, again largest n most happening cricket stadium in Kolkata. First indoor stadium in India that’s also in Kolkata, 😱 OMG...A city with super luxury hotel and also super cheap guest house. This city is a mini food capital of World. You can get a meal as low as Rs. 15/- which like 20 cents. Yaar list will never end.....let’s spot it here 😃....wow I am loving it...
Absolutely👍👍
Good narrative for our city.
True Bro. I'm proud to belong to Kolkata..
chakraborty001 - Jara jete chai...jete dao....they will not get Kolkata style Biryani, kathi roll, Nalen gur, boimela, baked rasogulla, Bhekti macher paturi, Hilsa sorshe, chittaDar chicken stew, aro koto ki...ar ei to Abhijeetda Nobel ta nilo...just think...but don’t take it seriously 🤔 😃😃
@chakraborty001 'Bengalis as a race are the poster child of poverty'. Your surname, considering that you're not a bot, tells me that you're a Bong. Tell me, was racism shoved down your throat today during breakfast?

As a bengoli, we dont like the coffee of indian coffee house. and you struggled so much to drink a cup of coffee from there. Hatss off man 🤣🤣
Ananya Pandey level struggle.
@@satyamdey4527 ooffff
Exactly. Nobody likes the coffee at coffee house here. I went with mom praising about the place and later I regretted after her reaction
as a Bengali you like Starbucks. you like to stand out side in a que of Starbucks.🤣🤣🤣
as a Bengali i like coffee house not for taste but for emotions i also did struggle 1st time only for one coffee with a cigarette.
coffee house is not a caffe...
@@PradyutChowdhury3DVFXartist bujhchen na dada eta bong case .coffee house eder soy naa .
You made me nostalgic... so many sweet memories of that street ...my college (Presidency), coffee house, College Square (you missed that place where there was a gathering), street food, friends and fun... thank you! I haven’t found such a place in England...
You went to the area where my house is and I have grown up..Away from home i am ,you gave me some good memories..!!Indeed u are the CR7 of the vlogging industry❤❤..

Hahah thats kolkta ♥️
Kolkata is a city which accepted people of all countries and cultures with love and affection. In a country where there is so much hatred between communities, races, castes, regions Kolkata always stays away from such irrational hatred..Kolkata is a city with both historical heritage and mordern growing infrastructure. Kolkata has enormous potential which we will see in the next year's to come if the existing politics embraces more love and acceptance.
i have to hit like button for Carlos only, because content of video nothing worth to me, only memories returned from college days. But this man does not like readings nor coffee but still visited perhaps world's largest 2nd hand book shop, and coffee house (once a meeting place for poets and writers and ofcourse college students, for his viewers. great going Carlos.
Imagine of writing a book about your experience of travelling all over the world and that book being sold in one of those stalls and some Calcutta University students bargaining over the price with the shopkeeper for a second hand copy.
Do u know abhijit banerjee?the economist,nobel prize winner in 2019,he is graduate from presidency college.

@@tenzindolkar8062 i apologize 🙏

The title should be “Hunt for the Indian Coffee House” 😂😂
yeah but that's not the more interesting part. It's just an ..... old coffee house
I m really kinda addicted of your vlogs
I always keep refreshing your page after 7
Same here
5:34 that G.R.B. organic chemistry book cost me 1400 rupees😅 and 2nd hand in good condition 350 rupees.
"Namoshkar dada " one of the best word u have said. just ❤️ it ✌️🙂👍. U can visit kolkata eko park at new Town u can find 7 wonders of the world , eiffle tower , and lots of gardens there. There is a museum too u can go there. enjoy bro 😎✌️

6:47 presidency university..one of the heritages of kolkata
Presidency college
@@studentpower6879 It's an autonomous university now (separated from Calcutta University). I am a current student here.
@@meghmamitra8213 it doesn't need to be a student there.. I am a Rice student. And I use to go there every week.. And Presidency college is written there. And it is so bad to hear= Presidency not a part of the Great and prestigious Calcutta university no more😁😁
@@studentpower6879 Google up for images with the word 'Presidency University' on a board near the university's main gate or any other back gates and all the building in the campus. It's an old news now (became an university in 2010).
@@meghmamitra8213 I don't have to Google it.. I see it with my own eyes for the last 2 years,, every week.. ok ok.. no problem. Presidency college under CU,/ Presidency clg under presidency university. No big deal..
The way you said "Namaskar Dada" that was so an absolute pleasure to hear..Pure Bengali
My favourite game is called " how many chapters can i read in one night"😎😎😎
😂😂👍
Me too
The night Before the exam
4:54 that is actually Sherlock Holmes translated in Bangla.
Absolutely correct 👍
Bro u r soon to achieve your 200k subscribers.u became more famous after coming to Kolkata.❤️from Kolkata.
I don't know why your kolkata videos are more pleasing than other city.I mean it seems you are enjoying kolkata more than other cities.💓
13:35 you passed it, and I yelled at mobile screen.. behind you
6:44......that's my college, Presidency : )
Rather, the place from where you started making your video is Calcutta University.
Interestingly, three consecutive landmarks in the College Street locality, i.e Medical College & Hospital, Calcutta University and Presidency College (currently upgraded into an autonomous university) are India's as well as Asia's oldest existing Medical School, University and College respectively. The square is also famous for organising political rallies and protest marches.
Welcome to the Cultural Capital of India. Have a great stay here!
U will hit 200k soon
Tumko bahut a66a lag rha ???
And you'll hit 200 soon!? 😬
Everytime you greeted by saying namaskar dada, it just stole my heart❤️
04:54 that detective is Sherlock Holmes brother..its written in Bengali !! 😄
You just walked me down the memory lane as I had spent almost 6 years in this area (I studied in Hindu School which carries a legacy of 202 years!!) Thank you Carlos ☺️!!
My University right there , Calcutta University ❤️❤️ one of the oldest in Asia .
I think nalanda is the oldest
@@abdulbayis8947 yes it is But Nalanda stands as a ruin now, this is the oldest working university , as in ,in the modern world this was the one that was established first
@@arundhutichakraborty2640 you have to specify oldest working one.
Bamboo garden
Please correct yourself..
CU is neither oldest working University of India nor of Asia....
India's oldest University is University of Roorkee, now it is an IIT.... where as
Asia's oldest University is University of Santo Thomas in Phillippines...
Well you don't only get second hand books but also new ones, thanks for covering my city so beautifully, I feel I live in the best and most unique city of India- Kolkata
I love college street area...I remember my university days 😍
Wow!!🤩 tooo biggest book market 😍😍 I never seen.. maybe this book market is the largest in the world 📚 sooo beautiful and amazing ❣️
6:38 is Presidency University , my alma mater... University of Kolkata (or Calcutta) was the first building you passed, the gate is at 1:51 (you can see the sign board) , the blue building at the start of the video is Kolkata Medical College :D
As a bengali i would like to suggest you to visit Kolkata during Durga puja.. It is not only the heritage of bengal also of india..You will be amazed to the unique beauty of kolkata and can't finish of visiting in one single day.
I love the hustle and bustle of India. :-)
At 5:48 in the video, it was my store. Thank you for visiting.
In case someone didn't already say this - Crab is a astrological sign for the Cancer sign and is usually used as a symbol for the Cancer disease as well. The book was probably one of those having a local treatment on the disease.
Actually, the picture symbolised that cancer is in our hands now. We can cure it.
Cancer literally means crab.
5:10 Loved to hear the name of my school from you, spent 12 memorable years studying in Hindu School, the Oldest Modern Educational Institution in Asia, founded in 1817 during British reign in India. Also became nostalgic after watching Coffee House.
VOLPE yes SAT is what I had to take like countless others in the US and abroad if we wanted to go to college in the US. It was easy if you studied in the States and had good grades in High School. Otherwise, it was GAME OVER until next time. I GOTTA VISIT CALCUTTA!
Just try to solve JEE main and advance test papers for engineering admission for IITs , u will understand what we Indian kids go through 😀
That coffee house is unreal. I can't believe how big it is. Reminded me of Harry Potter where they walk through a door and on the other side is a whole other world. How can the wait staff remember every table? Wow
"Dada" enjoying your videos. I am bong from Calcutta now living in Bangalore. You are making me nostalgic.

You know what Bro? The best part of your vlog is the way you see things around you. The way you Think. Thank you Carlos for exploring India and loving our country. Thank for from 1.3 Billions Indians
When I watch your Kolkata series I really becomes sad, i miss my city very badly.
oh volpe, im so glad u visited the streets in the area I grew up, it really is an intriguing place.
Bro i saw your video with lazy bong it was really nice keep it up bro.
Thank you
@@VolpeWhereAreYou bro i will also suggest u to visit eco park first
The section that you were walking through in the beginning of the video is my favourite place, because I'm a book hoarder and they sell books at damned cheap prices! Plus it's amazingly peaceful. I make it a point to come here every once in a while.
I'm a student of Calcutta University😊♥️ college Street 😍 one of the favorite place 😍
Hope you enjoyed visiting college Street.
You could have visited places like Colotola and Zakaria Street to have some delicious non vegetarian foods which was in the proximity of the legendary place you visited.
Try next time.
This was my favorite place while pursuing MA in English literature...feeling nostalgic...thank you💓
Nostalgic, Carlos, you took me to a trip down the memory lane
Kolkata or Calcutta, the British Capital of India (pakistan, Bangladesh, Myanmar,Sri Lanka to Singapore)!! And there were a time during early1900s Begalis began to educate themselves so much that in administrative level competitive examination they got admitted in huge level more than Britishers! And our Beloved Netaji Subhash topped in that exam..later he rejected it ❤️...these were the reasons behind book collections and obviously British Colonial had to choose Delhi as Capital...can't handle Bengali Revolutionaries ❤️❤️❤️ jai Hind 🇮🇳
We miss you Volpe. I remember the last December in 2019, you came here in Kolkata and lived for so long time. I especially had a great time to see you in the streets of Kolkata. I know it's idiotic but let me tell you one thing nobody has experienced Kolkata before like you did. We live you Volpe. Please come back as quickly as possible.
Also a very famous authentic bengali cuisine "Sadhin Bharat Hindu Hotel "
Kolkota was never covered this big by anybody....loved his vlog....
Bengali is the sweetest language in the world ..and your 'Nomoskar Dada' jzt stole my heart
