Eden Gardens is situated in the heart of Kolkata city. This is our Kolkata’s pride. This is the biggest stadium in India, and very well maintained I must say. Be it test match or be it ipl match, the stadium always filled by audience. Recently the stadium was renovated and the Seating capacity was reduced a bit only to make the Seating world class.

This holiest Hindu temple situated just beside the river of Ganges . This temple was built in 1855 by Rani Rashmoni Devi. Ramakrishna Paramhangsha Deb was a main priest of this temple. He devotes his whole life to this temple. It is very huge area it has a nice garden in temple area. If you want to visit this temple with less crowd then avoid Saturdays, and try to get there in early morning. Or if you want to see ‘Sandhya Arti’ then reach there on time in evening . This is not not to be missed.

The Ekante was located by the lake side. The ambience for the meeting with the cloudy weather was Ideal. During the lunch the Betki fish and other local dishes served were well prepared.
A boat ride at the end of the meeting was also very enjoyable. A unique and good experience for conducting a meeting away from the routine conference halls.

How many years since now, have we been fascinated and charmed by this name ? A hindi bollywood movie by the same name was released in 1958 - years before a majority of the readers of this would have been born !!! Despite the same, the charm, the feelings of seeing something really magnanimous, that of seeing something really different, that of seeing something really exquisite in India, that this bridge emanates still remains. It may be a routine affair for the regular commuters to pass this bridge, but for some people like us, who have been fascinated by this name since birth, it indeed gives a different feeling.
To cap this feeling, I last passed through this bridge at around 11:00 in the night and thus it was not crowded - it appeared like a king presiding over the holy water of river Ganga - still flowing full to both of its banks. Great !!!!

One of the most well maintained monuments in India. The symbol of Calcutta. Beautiful spread out garden all around filled with couples in love. The place just takes you back to something truly beautiful about the city. The building itself is grand. well detailed. There is always an exhibition going on in the museum. Not expensive (for Indians). Need to spend a good 3-4 hours walking around in the Gardens and the neighborhood.

Really emotional experience seeing how Mother Teresa lived. Her spartan living quarters show the sacrifices she made while reaching out to the poor. If you have a spiritual nature you will be moved.
