sister of king hirankashyap.To become a great man the king worshipped Lord
Brahma for many years. After atonement, lord brahma was very impressed and gave
him blessings and also granted the wishes of the king.</span></div>

him. He asked his sister Holika to sit in fire and make prahlad to sit in her lap.
Holika was blessed with a gift, that she will not be affected by fire. The king
thought that prahlad will be burnt but as he kept on chanting the name of lord
Vishnu. He survived and Holika was burnt to death. It signifies the victory of
good over evil.</span></div>

this is injustice to him and he started crying at his high pitch so mother

Durga Puja Shopping 2016</div>

At the end of the dampening shower of the monsoons, the sun peep out through the broken cotton shaped floating clouds in the clear blue sky which indicates the arrival of “sharad”or autumn season. The fragrance and colour of coral jasmine and the beautiful odour of mud fills everyone’s heart with joy, excitement and anticipation for the arrival of the “Pujo” or “Puja”.<br />

Durga puja is the biggest art carnival which is celebrated grandly in Bengal .The virus of puja fever strikes all over Bengal and preparations starts 3 months before. After office hours the locals head for shopping though they are tired & exhausted however feel happy to shop, choose souvenirs for their family and friends. People prefer shopping in groups rather than going alone because some of them are good in bargaining and some may be experts in choosing or selecting the perfect combination for the right fashion. The locals prefer bargaining but do not want to compromise on the quality of the products as they wish to bestow the best gifts to their kith and kin.<br />
<br />

Puja shopping is bread and butter for many hawkers selling food and apparels and accessories on the streets. Before the arrival of the pujas most of the locals are busy with their shopping, renovation and rearrange/whitewashing their homes, they tend to go out and have lunch/dine in restaurants with friends and families as the women usually aren’t in the mood of cooking. Therefore the restaurants, eateries (for e.g. Arsalan and Shiraz biryani is in huge demand during pujas.) are overcrowded and many a times one needs to wait in a queue for more than an hour to get a table. Ad hock food stalls are erected on the sidewalks where Pedestrians, pilgrims, locals and pandol hoppers love to eat. Young girls in their best attire are glued to the puchka shops and boys are seen ogling them .Most girls believe that they aren’t looking their best until and unless guys tease them.<br />

The shopkeepers in a bid to sell more products and to compete with their fellow businessman they give huge discounts and also give small gifts, some hawkers voice their product in order to attract customers. Every inch of the city is occupied with ad hock stalls and road side stalls. If someone needs to reach a destination he/she needs to have ample time since the city is at its high pace and everybody is busy it takes a lot of time to travel from one place to another. Though the city is sprawling and bustling with people yet they don’t mind shouldering the crowd and huge traffic jams as all are in the festive mood it may be hair raising experience for foreign tourist to witness the crowd on the streets of the city. The city is at its best and is decorated like a newly wedded bride and according to the local phrase the city becomes “tillotama” or miss universe.<br />

People believe that puja month is an auspicious time “subh muharat” so people usually buy valuable assets like traditional gold or silver jewelleries and also artificial jewelleries like terracotta and dokra and in clothes for e.g. Women buy traditional silk, taant, benarasi, Dhakai and jamdani saree (white saree with red border is famous in Bengal, white represents spirituality, red border symbolises purity.) and men buy sherwaani, Dhoti and kurta but some also prefer modern fashion like jeans and tops, t-shirt, skirts. People prefer comfortable shoes as most of them visit the city from the suburbs and villages to explore the pandols, as there is a lot of walking involved in the pandol hopping. So there is girls wear sandals to match with their beautiful saree and men wear leather shoes. People renovate and rearrange their homes so they also buy new furniture, curtain, bed sheets and decorative and small authentic souvenirs.<br />

On December 22nd 1901, Rabindranath Tagore started a school at Santiniketan .He used to teach in gurukul style,under the tree. He believed in open air education and had reservations about any teaching done within four walls. This was due to his belief that walls represent conditioning of mind. In 1921 ,the school was expanded into a university. It was renamed Visva Bharati, which means the communion of the world with India. He contributed his Nobel Prize monies and staffed the school and here teaching was often done under trees. . Visva Bharati, now more than a hundred years old, is one of the most prestigious universities of India <br />

<br />
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">19th century Calcutta had quite diverse sectors of retail trade. At the one
extreme stood the exclusive shops of European tradesmen dealing in imported
goods and fashionable bespoke orders. At the other were the 'informal'
activities of itinerant hawkers and businessmen and the unorganized street bazaars
which sprang up near residential areas. Between these were the privately owned
market areas where individual stallholders could rent space and the streets of
stalls and shops, such as Old and New China Bazaar Streets.</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% white; line-height: 12pt; margin: 0.25pt 0cm 0cm 0.7pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 9.35pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Only in the last
quarter of the century did Calcutta build a public (municipal)</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;"> <span style="color: black;">market, the Stuart Hogg Market or New Market.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% white; line-height: 12pt; margin: 0cm 0.35pt 0cm 1.7pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 9.35pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">The
bazaar life of Calcutta has always been a prosperous one. A growing population
with many distinct communities having their different food needs, clothing
styles and lifestyles called into being diverse and busy markets.</span><br />
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% white; line-height: 12pt; margin-left: 2.4pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 9.6pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">1830: </span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; font-size: 11.0pt;">there
were some 30 food markets in Calcutta but only two were for Europeans and the
wealthy Bengali babus.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% white; line-height: 12pt; margin: 0.1pt 0cm 0cm 0.5pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 11.4pt;">
<br />
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; font-size: 11.0pt;">One was Dharamtolla Bazaar on
Dharamtolla Street, owned by a wealthy Bengali native, and the other was the
Tiretta Bazaar which had been started by a Venetian. Both were very old, having
been established in<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>1794<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>and<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>1788<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>respectively.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; font-size: 11.0pt;">In
1871 a municipal report stated: •The Dhurrumtollah<b> </b>Market is situated on
the corner of Chowringhee and Dhurrumtollah Streets.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% white; line-height: 12.1pt; margin: 0.1pt 0.1pt 0cm 0.85pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 9.5pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; font-size: 11.0pt;">This market was full of cockroaches
and flies; refuse was thrown about and lay rotting in cesspools. There was no
control over the quality and display of the meat and fish sold there. Charges
were made that diseased cattle which had died in the fields were sold in the
market. It was said that the conditions were such as to change any meat eater
into a vegetarian.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 12.1pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: .85pt; margin-top: .35pt; mso-line-height-rule: exactly; text-align: justify; text-indent: 9.7pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; font-size: 11.0pt;">The health officer of the
Calcutta Corporation felt that it was impossible to<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>enforce a<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>clean-up.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These were</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;"> </span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; font-size: 11.0pt;">private markets; there was no
public control. The Calcutta Corporation had established slaughterhouses for
the sanitary killing of cattle, goats, pigs and fowl but could do nothing about
how the produce was marketed. By the 1860s the European residents were up in
arms about the spread of gastro-erteritis and intestinal disease in the city.
They brought pressure on the Corporation about the markets but the private
owners were reluctant to invest large sums in redesigning the markets and the
Corporation lacked the power to interfere.</span><br />
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 12.0pt; mso-line-height-rule: exactly; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; font-size: 11.0pt;">Thus was born the concept of a
municipal market, to be built and administered by the Corporation of Calcutta. </span></div>

We feel that this is our collective social responsibility and want to inspire people globally to provide aid and help alleviate the appalling conditions in Indian slums, either by encouraging them to become involved and share knowledge or provide support. Knowledge is sometimes more valuable than financial support, as knowledge of the privileged educated class can often help informal communities have access to better living conditions.<br />
<br />
In order our tours are sustainable and provide a positive impact on the community, a proportion of our revenues are distributed to communities, directly supporting education, health and well being for the underprivileged children.<br />

Among the three villages Sutanati, Gobinda pur and Kalikata ,Sutanati was probably the more ancient of these three habitations. The Portugese ships anchored at Betor on the opposite bank and bought goods from this Village till 1632 .It was definitely the most populous and prosperous, engaged in the production and export of cotton textiles. The expulsion of the Portuguese from the Hugli and all Moghul territories created an opportunity for the English to move in. An English factory was established at Golghat in Hugli town in 1650, with subordinate establishments at Cossimbazar for silk and indigo, at Patna for indigo and at Hajipur for saltpetre.</div>

The Ghats????<br />
"The Ghats are a series of steps leading to a water body (river).There were around forty one ships of the East India Company which moved in and out of Calcutta, the need of Ghats or wharfs became necessary, the east India Company used to operate from the old fort william (now the site of the G.P.O at B.B.D Bag) therefore the English built the first Ghat or the wharf in 1710."<br />
<br />
So by now you should know where I am heading? Yes, I am heading to explore some of the Ghats on the River Hoogly.<br />

Kolkata looks more voluptuous and fresh in the morning , It is best time to visit these placid Ghats in the early part of the morn. I started from Home very early, accompanied by a friend of mine. The street were bathed with the heavy downpour of the previous night, we drove through the bypass, the road was quite and I could feel the fresh breeze assaulting my face, I love the smell of the earth; as If mother nature is cooking its favourite food.<br />

</span></div>Like most of them I usually start my day with a cup of Coffee or sweetened tea, It is easy to find a tea shop in Kolkata, we stopped at one of the tea shops in North Kolkata, had tea in the bhar (earthen tea cup)and nibbled on few biscuits, here we met some rickshaw pullers having tea, One will be surprised to know that tea- shop owner earns I.N.R 1000 per day which is equivalent to the Salary of an M.B.A working for some multinational company. Many a times I heard this phrase” money flies in Kolkata ...and one needs to catch it” now I know why they say so.... <br />
<br />
<br />
We crossed the Famous Nimtalla Ghat or the burning Ghat of the Hindus, I had no intention to Visit this Ghat as I was reluctant to watch people mourning and crying for their lost beloved. We parked our car close to this Ghat and walked towards the adjacent Ghat, for a moment I felt as If I lived in a Village, where I could see men,women and children bathing, the wooden boats or budgerous , the fishermen busy with fishing nets and the greedy crows hovering over the fresh fish for a royal breakfast, this was the view I was longing for, here I captured some beautiful picture.<br />

The Floating Pontoon Bridge was built in 1874 by Sir Bradford Leslie over this riverHoogly. It would become very steep during monsoon and the Bullock-carts found it difficult to move across and there were more traffic Jams during the rains therefore the English Government came up with the Idea of Howrah Bridge in 1875. Its original purpose was to facilitate military transportation between Kolkata and the industrial town of Howrah during World War II. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6VCDvtO8jPyQxPyVPDUikcub0kdwvtpUfoMI5uL7HkLrabdtMnqniRQMRqC-BVVHzQ9u2iipfvqTaV-Isnx7g4KiaDTOQmIdPPJfrAEkOQIlirUq7cd7D7D_X6MUvi1ahYTAec1vvcpU/s1600/hw.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6VCDvtO8jPyQxPyVPDUikcub0kdwvtpUfoMI5uL7HkLrabdtMnqniRQMRqC-BVVHzQ9u2iipfvqTaV-Isnx7g4KiaDTOQmIdPPJfrAEkOQIlirUq7cd7D7D_X6MUvi1ahYTAec1vvcpU/s1600/hw.jpg" /></a></div><div> The Floating Pontoon bridge or as I call it the Baby Howrah Bridge :-)</div><div><br />

We choose 12th Dec 2010 for donating these cloths, Sunday is usually a day for celebrating, merriment and get together however this Sunday we choose to steal some time for these people. Calcutta is a place for the rich and poor, this city is like a fortress and we all seek protection here, we all should have a feeling of oneness. I don’t want to talk abut the government or the charity institutes, I’d or rather we’d love to see what we can do for our beloved city.<br />
<br />
I got up 5 in the morn, packed all these clothes in separate bags; for kids, for men & for women. Imran & umair came to our place at 6 in the morning, we set off on the bikes, scanning the footpaths, in Calcutta the homeless usually sleep on these footpaths. I always remember Mahatma Gandhi ji’s talisman when ever I am sad or depressed. I quote…<br />

I love watching the rain drops dripping from leaf to leaf, people walking with colourful umbrellas, children going to school in a man-powered rickshaw .The people of Calcutta love to do their grocery shopping early in the morning, every locality has a local market, where you can buy fresh fish, vegetables, fruits, spices, fresh meat, flowers, these markets are crowded from 6a.m in the morn till 12noon, in the evening you will find the market bustling with people from 5 in the evening till 10in the night. Woman and men come all the way to kolkata(city) from the near by villages to sell their stuff at these markets, and return home by night boarding the local trains.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

The Bengalis are very found of fish, and the men can be seen in the market place, haggling for the best price of fish, fresh from the river. The most popular ones are Betki and Hilsa. They also look for shellfish especially ‘king prawns’. The Bengalis are very keen on what they eat. The fish Hilsa is best smoked, but has thousand of small and fine bones and thus requires patience. Betki is marinated in mild spices and then either fried or grilled.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

She says 'maa kali' (mother Kali) will answer all her prayers. Every Tuesday she goes to visit the Kali temple at Kalighat.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal">She told me the legend of this temple: Daksha, one of the King, he was the father of Sati and father-in-law of Lord Shiva. Daksha had <span style="color: black;"> </span>made a sacrifice to obtain a son however he omitted to invite Shiva. Sati lord Shiva’s wife felt indignant that this was an insult to her husband. She asked her father<span style="color: black;"> </span>“why is my husband not invited?” the fathers said that her husband wears a necklace of skulls and he<span style="color: black;"> </span>dopes, so how can he invite such a person? Sati felt insulted and put an end to her life, Shiva drunk with loss, transfixed her body on the point of his trident and ran here and there, he was destroying the whole world but Vishnu the preserver came to rescue the world, he flung his disc at the body of Sati & broke it into pieces which fell scattered over the earth, every place where a part of the body fell, became a sanctuary, the head fell in Nepal, Kathmandu ( Kata means cut mandu means head) but the most worshiped place is in Calcutta, Kalighat, the spot which received the toes of the right foot of Sati and there after is known as Goddess Kali. People from all over the world come to visit this temple. <span style="color: black;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal">oh! I love this city.
