This is my first post to this blog on my city of joy-Kolkata erstwhile colonial Calcutta.Kolkata- a place of living history with most influences of Colonial British era every where.Still its building architecture,  river front surrounding areas, Ghtas etc. reminds you colonial Kolkata.

Though I'm not currently live in Kolkata, but I have been here long 7 years of my live, and I come here every five days of a weeks to work here. In this blog I have plans to write about the works of some peoples-whom I know though they are not famous for there work,hobies, but I feel they are extraordinary in their hobies,work. I like to upload some picture of histrorical places in and around  Kolkata with historical background and latest news, pics of shows/ exhibition in kolkata which I have attended.

In the above context, I have gone yesterday at The Agri-Horticultural Society of India,New Alipure for annual House Plant Show. Great collection of Bonsai is exhibited and other many house plants.
