Feels a bit odd to be feeling the same things you do, though I AM from India… Not sure about all of India, but I am thoroughly fascinated by Kolkata. I love that place in a way that I cant explain to anyone. The reactions I get are worse and they make me wanna strangle those pple!! Haha Words like “Yeaw, yuck, how can you?” ... it’s completely magical to say the least. Kolkata and your words! Beautiful post.
