Kolkata is one such place that you love to death and also love to complain about. In a way Kolkata is like a paradox. There are two parts to Kolkata – one that still lives in the past and loves to reminisce about the ‘good ole time. And then there is also the modern Kolkata – all swanky and fast-paced (trying to be!) But you can hardly deny that there is a charm to the city that makes it easy to fall in love with it. And here are a few quotes on Kolkata that depicts this undeniable charm and beauty of the “City of Joy”©®.
