Calcutta

We have made our way to Calcutta, the center of all that is chaotic and crazy in the world. Every second is pure insanity, my eyes can't keep up with the movement.

A wild mixture of modern and traditional, Calcutta is perhaps the greatest location in the world for people watching. At night, when the temperatures drop, Indians and tourists take to the streets.

Strolling the filthy, steamy city, one cannot help being drawn into the manic sense of euphoria when the city comes alive. Night markets, street vendors, flashing neon signs, and hand-drawn rickshaws racing with yellow Ambassador taxis. It's like performance art on the largest scale imaginable!

whats the name of the song?

[contemporarynomad]

@GAROmx The song is called "Dancing with the Goddess" by Atman. The song can be bought on Amazon for $0.99. Just search for Atman and his album India Club & Lounge.

After browsing all Calcutta/Kolkata videos on YouTube for the last 3 hours in search of some to add to my Kolkata Playlist, yours and This video and NomadicSamuel's are truly the BEST. I guess it sometimes takes fresh (and foreign) eyes to truly capture the beauty of a city and its people. Thanks for sharing you POV. The city couldn't get a more profession and seductive tourist "commercial" if they paid for it!
