  • Kolkata (formerly Calcutta) is the capital of India's West Bengal state. Founded as an East India Company trading post, it was India's capital under the British Raj from 1773-1911. Today it’s known for its grand colonial architecture, art galleries and cultural festivals. It’s also home to Mother House, headquarters of the Missionaries of Charity, founded by Mother Teresa, whose tomb is on site.

    This part of Kolkata is like old Dhaka of Bangladesh. But what I like most about Kolkata and India overall is that places seem less cramped than Dhaka and the embedded history and traditions throughout.

    Please next time visit Dhakuria /Rabindra Sarobar lake area, a huge artificial lake in South Calcutta - there is rowing activity, cricket training, football clubs in the area besides some old and some well restored Art-Deco style mansions built from 1920-70's for the educated middle class Bengali professionals, a residential area littered with several cafes now. Also you should visit the huge historic 200 yr old open air grocery market in Bhowanipore known as Jadu Bazar, these areas are anything but boring, hustle bustle, Sikh traders, tyre dealers, vegetable vendors. You will love it.

    I am Caucasian, and will be moving to India (Varanasi) soon. I need to mentally prepare for the tours and hustlers who will swarm me, and the same time understanding the culture is much different in that it’s not abnormal to have a friendly chat with someone on the street and then keep moving.
    Where I live now, people just don’t do that. Everyone looks straight-ahead and rarely engages each other. One aspect of India I am looking forward to is to engage people, talk to strangers, learn their stories, etc. But again, it seems half of them just want you to open your wallet, so will need to learn phrases such as “I live here and don’t need any help” etc. (simply to keep my sanity).
