#best picture of kolkata

[jukti-torko-golpo]

I have been in a terrible slump lately. I had been considering not writing on tumblr about this. But I realize that I need to scream into my beloved void to get something off my chest. It is a part of my coping mechanism now.

So I know that going to a different place for job/studies is something many people do and for a lot of people it is indeed very difficult. But I will talk about my feelings here. I was recently given a different city as my base location for work. And I feel shattered. I feel like a chunk of my soul is being yanked away from me.

I am completely open to the idea of going to a different place for any project. But the base location being changed is just shattering. More so because as far as my communications with them was going it seemed like I would get Kolkata. But suddenly it all just fell apart.

I am really close to my family. I have my two sets of grandparents who I love. And both live within 5 mins walking distance from me. And I visit them very frequently. The thought of not being able to do that is TERRIFYING. Secondly my parents need help with managing the household and my grandparents. They would never say that out loud and support me in whatever is best for me but I know that they do and it is exhausting. I want to be actively present. My partner is also in Kolkata and the thought of being away from him sucks. I know long distance relationship is a thing. But I do not desire it if it can be avoided.

Secondly I had a plan about what I want to do with life. I had plans for saving for things. My financial plan would crash if I have to move to the new place. I will barely be able to save anything. All my plans would be completely snuffed out.

Secondly my city....I love my city so freaking much. It is a part of me. I do not want to leave her behind. This is home.

I am trying my level best to change my location to Kolkata. And I am hoping and praying so hard. I have a habit of writing my prayers on tumblr. And this is my prayer. Please let me not be taken away from home. Please. Just PLEASE. I feel desperate. And I have not been able to function. I can barely function. I am so scared all the time. I had so many plans on how to spend my post college times. But I just cannot. Waking up is so difficult. My room has not been cleaned for weeks. And I just cannot bring myself to do it. Everything feels so dusty. I cannot draw. I cannot write. I cannot take pictures. I cannot feel things. I am tired and sad and shattered. Please just let me not be yanked out of home.

BEST DIRECTORS IN CINEMA-3

Hi everyone! This blog is going to be the 3rd part of 8 Part Series of who I think are the Best Directors Cinema as ever seen

And today I will be talking about

SATYAJIT RAY

Satyajit Ray (born May 2, 1921, Calcutta [now Kolkata], India—died April 23, 1992, Calcutta) was a Bengali motion-picture director, writer, and illustrator who brought the Indian cinema to world recognition with Pather Panchali (1955; The Song of the Road) and its two sequels, known as the Apu Trilogy. As a director, Ray was noted for his humanism, his versatility, and his detailed control over his films and their music. He was one of the greatest filmmakers of the 20th century.

(Early Life)

Ray was an only child whose father died in 1923. His grandfather was a writer and illustrator, and his father, Sukumar Ray, was a writer and illustrator of Bengali nonsense verse. Ray grew up in Calcutta (now Kolkata) and was looked after by his mother. He entered a government school, where he was taught chiefly in Bengali, and then studied at Presidency College, Calcutta’s leading college, where he was taught in English. By the time he graduated in 1940, he was fluent in both languages. In 1940 his mother persuaded him to attend art school at Santiniketan, Rabindranath Tagore’s rural university northwest of Calcutta. There Ray, whose interests had been exclusively urban and Western-oriented, was exposed to Indian and other Eastern art and gained a deeper appreciation of both Eastern and Western culture, a harmonious combination that is evident in his films.

(His Famous Works)

Ray's first film, Pather Panchali (1955) won eleven international prizes, including the inaugural Best Human Document award at the 1956 Cannes Film Festival. This film, along with Aparajito (1956) and Apur Sansar (The World of Apu) (1959), form The Apu Trilogy. Ray did the scripting, casting, scoring, and editing, and designed his own credit titles and publicity material. He also authored several short stories and novels, primarily for young children and teenagers. Popular characters created by Ray include Feluda the sleuth, Professor Shonku the scientist, Tarini Khuro the storyteller, and Lalmohan Ganguly the novelist.

(Filmmaking Style)

His Filmmaking

Ray had been subconsciously paying a tribute to Jean Renoir throughout his career, who influenced him the most.Ray considered script-writing to be an integral part of direction. Initially he refused to make a film in any language other than Bengali. In his two non-Bengali feature films, he wrote the script in English; translators adapted it into Hindustani under Ray's supervision.The narrative structure of Ray's films are represented by musical forms such as sonata, fugue and rondo. Kanchenjunga, Nayak and Aranyer Din Ratri are examples of this structure.

(His Filmography)

Ray made over 36 feature film in his 4 decade long. He made movies such as Pather Panchali in 1955,Aparajito in 1956,Parash Pathar and Jalsaghar in 1958, Apur Sansar in 1959, Devi in 1960. He made movies such as Teen Kanya in 1961, Kanchenjungha and Abhijan in 1962,Mahanagar in 1963,Charulata and Two I'm 1964,Kapurush-0-Mahapurush in 1965,Nayak in 1966,Chiriyakhana in 1967,Goopy Gyne & Bagha Byne in 1969,Aranyer Din Ratri and Pratiwandi in 1970, Seemabaddha and Sikkim in 1971,Inner Eyes in 1972,Ashani Sanket in 1973,Sonar Kella in 1974,Jana Aranyw in 1975,Bala in 1976,Shatranj ka Khilari in 1977,Joi Baba Felunath in 1979,Hirak Rajar Deshe and Pikoo in 1980,Sadgati in 1981,Ghare Bhare in 1984,Sukumar Ray in 1987,Ganashatru and Shakha Proshakha in 1990,Agantuk in 1990.

(Awards & Honors)

Ray received many awards including 36 National Film Awards. He was awarded the Dadasaheb Phalke Award in 1985 and Legion Of Honor in 1987. The Government of India also awarded him with Padma Bhusan in 1965. He also received a Lifetime Achievement Award in 1992 at the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences. He also won the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival

(Legacy)

Ray is considered one of the greatest film directors of all time. He is a cultural icon in India and in Bengali communities worldwide. Following his death, the city of Calcutta came to a virtual standstill, as hundreds of thousands of people gathered around his house to pay their last respects. Ray's influence has been widespread and deep in Bengali cinema; many Bengali directors, including Aparna Sen, Rituparno Ghosh and Gautam Ghose as well as Vishal Bhardwaj, Dibakar Banerjee, Shyam Benegal and Sujoy Ghosh from Hindi cinema in India, Tareq Masud and Tanvir Mokammel in Bangladesh, and Aneel Ahmad in England, have been influenced by his craft.Beyond India, filmmakers Martin Scorsese, Francis Ford Coppola, George Lucas, James Ivory, Abbas Kiarostami, Elia Kazan, William Wyler,François Truffaut, John Huston, Carlos Saura, Isao Takahata, Oliver Stone,Quentin Tarantino, Wes Anderson,Danny Boyle and Christopher Nolan.

[that-mad-indian-woman]

Same idiot here for information on what are like the culturally appropriate things to do for pujo in Bengal

(non Bengalis here's your guide to act native to pujo madness)

So, what IS pujo?

Following mahalaya, (if you don't know what that is, here's the infodump i did;)

Devispaksha begins. The goddess is returning home. There's a different side to this story however.

THE MYTHOLOGICAL SIDE AND WHAT THAT GREEN THING YOU SEE AT DURGA'S FEET IN EVERY PANDAL IS.

So, mahishasur was believed to be a monster. He one day decided to go into the depths of a jungle and sit for an intense tapasya. So he did. He prayed to lord brahma for months and months. He was covered in ivy and moss, Insects grew on him but he stayed firm. For months he prayed, without food or water. Brahma, impressed by his tenacity appeared before him. Mahishasur asked for the boon of immortality. Brahma granted him his wish. "You shall not be killed by any man in heaven, hell, or earth." Strengthened by his boon, Mahishasur attacked Indrapuri, The court of God Indra. He captured his throne. The gods turned to brahma for help. Brahma, on realising his mistake, went to consult with Lord Vishnu and Lord Shiva. the gods decided that as mahishasur couldn't be destroyed by any MAN, they needed to create a female source of power to end him. The gods gathered. They collected their powers and from the blinding lights, emerged the goddess of feminine power-Durga. She was bestowed with weapons; she was given strikingly beautiful features, And then, armed with a hundred hands and skilled in hundred different weapons, she went on the fight. Mahishasur, initially enthralled by her beauty, proposed to marry her; but she declared war. The battle went on for days. At the end, Durga's vahan, the lion pounced on the asur, Durga stepped on him and piercing her trishul through his heart, emerged victorious. The evil was dead. The power that laid within the flashing eyes of the goddess had won.

GOT IT. SO WHAT DO I DO DURING PUJAS?

Puja celebrations usually don't start in it's full-fledged glory till atleast the fifth day (panchami). it continues till the tenth day (Dashami).

If you live in kolkata during pujas, GO OUT. The whole city is bedazzled in lights, there are fairs through the city. Nobody sits at home; everybody is out on the roads sparkling and dressed to nines. Wear your best dresses and walk through the streets at night till the sun comes up. The most major part of pujas is pandal hopping. Thousands of pandals with budgets of crores are made at various spots in the city. These are pandals as huge as marketplaces; each with different themes. There are competitions every year between them, based on which pandal had the best durga idol, which had the best theme, which had the best structure, etc.

Pujas are the time when Kaash ful(the white flowers I clicked last year in the fourth picture) are in full bloom, there are lotuses in bloom in ponds; nature is bedecked in her best jewels.

Keeping in spirit with the goddess returning home, bengalis usually return home during pujas. it's a time to visit families, revsit old friends and have complete unabashed fun. It's time to gobble down on junk foods as much as you can. Oh and girls, on Ashtami(or the eighth day), make sure you put on your best sarees for arti and bedazzle the guys on the road;)

Despite the intense commercialization of the pujas that has happened in the last few years, it still remains an extremely core emotion for us bengalis. It's the time of homecoming, of taking a break and reconnecting to our roots every year. it's the time of visiting family, of recreating old memories, of re-living new and old romances. It's the whole world celebrating you coming home. It's the world celebrating the power that lays inside every woman- a mother, a sister, a wife.

“You didn’t fail—your idea failed. Try something new.”

Last week, David and I were invited to be delegates at a G20 event at Guru Nanak Dev University, which is just up the road from Khalsa College.

One of the panels at this event at GNDU was on entrepreneurship. While this is not exactly my field, I am glad I was compelled (by my status as a delegate) to attend. One of the panelists, an esteemed professor of business from Mumbai, offered the thought that I have chosen as my title.

I would say that my idea—as conceived—has failed.

Without getting into too much detail, I will simply say that several factors have contributed to this: my own naivety at what could be accomplished with a group of actors with whom I do not share a common language (unlike Kerala—where I did my first Fulbright), some particularly nasty departmental politics that became clear to David and me a few weeks after arrival, a lack of communication concerning hindrances to my project work plan, and (what I perceive) as the global effects of COVID on the current college age student. One toxic presence has done more than anything else to dismantle what I planned to accomplish. I have kept quiet about this in my blog and hoped for the best.

I am disheartened, but I also need to look at what my essential goals were for this project:

•     To connect young people with survivors of Partition in order to foster understanding about the experiences of those who came before them

•     To guide a group of young artists in creating original material based on interviews with Partition survivors

•     To provide a way for said young artists to share their original work with an audience.

All this will be accomplished.

•     I have accompanied students on interviews with people in their 80’s and 90’s who survived Partition, and witnessed the effect their stories and these connections have on my students. I have been deeply moved by the experience of sitting in the presence of these survivors.

•     David and I are working with these young actors to create, albeit slowly, original monologues out of those interviews. I understand that students at Khalsa College (and perhaps more widely in India) are not as accustomed to writing their own material, so this is a big “ask” we are making. Many are rising to the challenge beautifully. And some very generous translators have helped us to understand what is being written.

•     And we will have a sharing. It will not be a full-scale production, as we first envisioned. Given the amount of rehearsal time that has been taken from us due to various roadblocks- a full production would not be possible. We have been given a goal of the first week in April (before exam preparation begins). With that date in mind, we had to let go of the idea of a full production last week. But we will have an invited sharing at the college, and I also hope to have a lecture/demonstration at the Partition Museum and a local cultural center. I need to remind myself that if David had not been able to accompany me, these sharings would have likely been all I would have been able to offer.

I am turning my focus to things I can control (and my little living space has been getting daily cleanings-- this seems to be my way of gaining some control.) Following the advice, I am "trying something new."

•     I am booking performances of The Belle of Amherst at several colleges in Kolkata, one in Assam, and (hopefully) one theatre in Nepal.

•     I have been awarded a regional travel grant to spend two weeks teaching voice and speech at an actor training program in Nepal.

•     And I have been invited to serve on the panel to interview Fulbright applicants among Tibetan immigrants in Dharamshala in May.

I have met a lot of great people here. I am deeply grateful for this opportunity. And my students are absolutely lovely people. When I am with them (those who show up) my spirit cannot resist being lifted. So-- I’ll share a few pictures of these exuberant, brave young people—and move on. The idea failed. I did not fail. And I believe these young people will take something meaningful away from this experience—as I know David and I will.

I “owe” you all a post about our wonderful return to Kerala. Maybe now that I have shared the not-so-pleasant, I can go back and share those beautiful memories!

Bengali Wedding Trends: What’s Hot for 2025?

Bengali weddings are indeed a beautiful blend of old traditions, vibrant celebrations, and timeless elegance. Through years, they have perfectly combined traditional customs with modern trends, thus creating some unique experiences that remain unforgettable.

Let’s dive into the hottest trends shaping Bengali weddings in 2025!

1. Fusion Bridal Outfits

They are getting the traditional Bengali bridal look of the red Banarasi saree fused with some contemporary elements. Brides are experimenting with pastel colors, metallic embroidery, and fusion blouses. Popular pairing includes traditional sarees paired with statement jewelries or trendy blouse designs like a cape sleeve design and off-the-shoulder type. Dhoti-kurtas in pastel colours also caught the attention of grooms as they go with stylish embroidery jackets.

2. Contemporary Marriage Decorations

Minimalism has become the trending choice for marriage decorations. Elaborate setups have given way to elegant themes inspired by nature-the possibility of floral mandaps with pastel-colored backgrounds or decorations made from bamboo, jute, and clay. All these setups do not only look glamorous but are also environmental-friendly.

3. Bengali Destination Weddings

Destination weddings are on the rise in Bengal. Couples are opting for quaint locations such as Shantiniketan, Mandarmani, and even tea estates at Darjeeling to get hitched. These destinations combine cultural heritage with scenic grandeur, thus making them ideal for an intimate ceremony and breathtaking photoshooting.

5. Extravagant Pre-Wedding Photoshoots

Most Bengali weddings cannot be done without pre-wedding photoshoots. Iconic locations such as the Howrah Bridge and Victoria Memorial of Kolkata or Kumartuli for Bengali-based photographs are now a norm. Candid, cinematic moments tell stories rather than posed for camera shots.

The Bengali wedding feast has always been legendary; nowadays, it is becoming more engaging. Couples include live counters for Bengali delicacies like kosha mangsho, puchka (pani puri), and freshly made malpua. Recently, the added desserts like baked rasgullas or rosogolla cheesecakes are also quite interesting to be found in the dessert table.

7. Tech-Infused Celebrations

Technology has a big role in modern Bengali weddings. Live-streaming ceremonies for friends and family who can’t attend is particularly popular, and, of course, there are those aerial shots of the ceremony via drones, etc. Digital photo booths using fun Bengali props is also a huge thing.

8. Reinventing Bengali Traditional Rituals

As much as rituals like Saat Paak, circling around the groom, and Sindoor Daan continue to be important, grooms and brides are giving them a modern spin. Brides and grooms are writing vows inspired by Bengali poetry or sharing personal promises during the ceremony.

9. Statement Jewelry Trends

Chunky gold jewelry with intricate designs inspired by Bengali traditional art forms are all the rage among brides. Polki and kundan pieces in vintage shades are also in vogue. To go with the trend, brooches, layered pearl necklaces, and statement cufflinks will complete the dapper look of the groom.

10. Greener Wedding Practices

Bengali weddings have slowly turned into sustainable ones. They are now focusing on digital invitations instead of paper-based ones, adopting décor in which they believe minimizes their impact on the environment, and donating leftover food after the celebration.

Final Thoughts

Bengali weddings are a perfect blend of tradition and modernity. The trends in 2025 carry on this beautiful blend of the old and the new, both while planning the wedding and when attending it.

Want to capture these trends flawlessly? Collaborate with the best wedding photographers in Kolkata to ensure every moment is preserved in style. Get ready for a magical celebration that combines the best of heritage and modern flair!

How A.R. Rahman Shaped Nikhita Gandhi's Career

Nikhita Gandhi is a name synonymous with versatility and talent in the Indian music industry. With a voice that transcends genres and languages, she has carved a niche for herself as a playback singer. However, what makes her journey truly remarkable is the unconventional path she took to reach where she is today. From pursuing a career in dentistry to becoming a musical sensation, Nikhita’s story is one of passion, perseverance, and the courage to follow her dreams.

Early Life and Education

Born on October 1, 1991, in Kolkata, West Bengal, Nikhita grew up in a culturally rich household. Her Bengali-Punjabi heritage exposed her to diverse influences, and she was surrounded by art and music from an early age. Her parents encouraged her to pursue academics rigorously, which led her to choose dentistry as her career path.

After completing her schooling at La Martiniere for Girls in Kolkata, Nikhita moved to Chennai in 2010 to study dentistry at Ramachandra University. While her academic journey was progressing, a parallel story was unfolding — her love for music. Even as she immersed herself in dental studies, her passion for singing refused to take a backseat.

Nikhita’s move to Chennai proved to be a turning point. Here, she encountered opportunities that would ultimately steer her toward a career in music. She enrolled at A.R. Rahman’s prestigious K.M. College of Music and Technology to pursue formal training in music, balancing her education and passion with incredible determination.

The Turning Point

It was during her time at K.M. College of Music that Nikhita’s talent caught the attention of none other than A.R. Rahman. Recognizing her potential, the maestro offered her an opportunity that would change her life forever. She got her first big break with the song “Ladio” from the Tamil film I in 2015.

The song, composed by Rahman, showcased Nikhita’s ability to adapt to different styles and sing in multiple languages. “Ladio” was recorded in Tamil, Telugu, and Hindi, and it instantly became a hit. Her voice added a unique freshness to the track, earning her recognition in the South Indian music industry.

This debut marked the beginning of a fruitful collaboration between Nikhita and Rahman. She went on to work on projects like O Kadhal Kanmani and Thanga Magan, solidifying her place as a rising star in playback singing.

The Shift to Bollywood

Nikhita’s Bollywood debut came in 2017 with the title track of Raabta. The soulful melody, picturized on Deepika Padukone, became an overnight sensation. The song showcased her ability to evoke deep emotions through her voice, and it established her as a prominent name in the Hindi film industry.

Following the success of Raabta, there was no looking back for Nikhita. She lent her voice to chartbusters like “Ullu Ka Pattha” from Jagga Jasoos and “Qaafirana” from Kedarnath. Her versatility was evident as she effortlessly transitioned between genres — whether it was romantic ballads or peppy dance numbers.

Challenges and Resilience

While Nikhita’s journey might appear smooth, it was not without challenges. Juggling two demanding careers — dentistry and music — required immense dedication and time management. There were moments of self-doubt, but her unwavering passion for music kept her going.

Breaking into Bollywood as a non-Hindi-speaking singer was another challenge. However, Nikhita’s multilingual upbringing and adaptability allowed her to overcome this barrier. Her ability to sing in Tamil, Telugu, Bengali, and Hindi has been one of her greatest assets, making her a favorite among composers across industries.

Achievements and Accolades

Over the years, Nikhita has won numerous awards and nominations for her work. She received the Zee Cine Award for Best Female Playback Singer for Raabta and was nominated for a Filmfare Award for her song “Ghar” from Jab Harry Met Sejal. These accolades are a testament to her talent and the impact she has made in a relatively short span of time.

Inspiring the Next Generation

Nikhita’s story is a source of inspiration for aspiring artists who may feel torn between their passions and societal expectations.
