Calcutta Nostalgia 2004

Kolkata nostalgia from 17 years ago! A montage made for screening at the Royal Geographical Society, London when Krishna Dutta's book on the city was being launched there. I am grateful for the invaluable and tireless assistance of my cousin Amitava Bagchi. Huge thanks also to my friend Unmesh Kirtikar who helped me secure the permissions to film in the metro rail stations which are tightly protected (and with good reason).

This was the time when buddhadev bhattacharya was the cm. Bengal's future was looking so bright and shining.....now we are left with only despair.

KOLKATA LOOKS BEAUTIFUL IN 2004 2nd hooghly bridge and ajc bose flyover and Salt lake so clean.

I saw this montage first on fb and now on YT. People becoming nostalgic how the city hasn’t changed much from that time. Indeed. Apart from the attitude of the people, nothing has changed. Also, my pristine Kolkata, greener Kolkata. Be it AJC Bose Road flyover, Infinity think tank or the vessels over the Ganges. Nothing! Even the voice of Madhumanti Moitra in Metro PAS can still be found in non Medha AC rakes. The then LF Govt. stayed maximum for 7 more years from then but we get to see those things. People have changed. People were aware of their surroundings, they were smart.
I wish, I get back my Kolkata!

Kolkata used to look like a growing city in a foreign country. Now it looks like a dumpyard.

Golden Period of West Bengal Under Buddhadeb Bhattacharya.. In 2004 Westbengal Has Metro Rail.. How Development was progressing.. Proper Westbengal with its vintage look Under a Good Government..
But after 20 year of TMC rule West Bengal is a land of scam,Murder,Rape,Loot etc etc... Nothing New has Been introduced in Westbengal .. In 2011 CPIM government Left west bengal and still after 20 years we are in the same position... 😢
