Calcutta - My Dear Hometown Poem by Raja Basu

Calcutta - my dear hometown, and a city of art, culture and grace
Calcutta - the city that is famous for its gorgeous palaces.

Calcutta - the city of poets, litterateurs, painters, cinema giants and other cultural luminaries
Calcutta - where people of diverse ethnicities and religions stay together with perfect harmony and peace.

Calcutta - the city known for its friendliness and simplicity
Calcutta - the city of people who are known for their genuine hospitality.

Calcutta - the city that might not be that glamorous, but which teaches you how to enjoy life's simple pleasures
Calcutta - the city that teaches you to be humble with people, irrespective of their status and class.

Calcutta - the spectacular city where I was fortunate to grow up
The city which will always enjoy my unconditional affection and love.


I love you Calcutta. You are always there in my heart.
