Kolkata will become London and North Bengal will become Switzerland. Apparently work will start for the Londonisation of Kolkata from 1st of this August. Are you happy with this piece of news? Oh and one more thing, this is the promise of the new CM. Now there must be a smile on your face.
Well I don’t know if the above statements will become reality or not but I sincerely hope and pray for them to become reality. But how will that become reality when the entire city is nothing but pits and falls among something called roads or is it the pillars and “under construction road/metro/sewage” that should be called the stepping stone of becoming Kolkata?
Frankly I did not give a damn thinking about it, till the bug came to my doorstep. Yes my Doorstep. While I happily returned from work on a Monday, I found the road leading to my house and garage dug up. Now I don’t know where to park my vehicle and how to commute through the Mud Mountains.
Yes the general answer would be something like the department works and people question and when does not they question. But the thing is every work has a process. What if they dig up the road leading to Didi’s home? Oh my can they even dare to do so… but then I am not asking preferential treatment, its just one expects the civic body to have the minimum civic sense.
I guess the simplest solution would be to rename Kolkata to London. Yeah as they did to the metro stations, now when you go to Tollygunge from Dum Dum all you ask at the counter is দাদা দুটো উত্তম কুমার দেবেন আর একটা সূর্য সেন. (Two Uttam kumar and one Surya Sen please in the Queen’s Language)
Mere dreaming and planning of change will not bring change but implementation that is precise of a plan that is accurate will keep the smile and admiration on everyone’s lips. Ok my ranting is over but my problem is not. Where do I park my Vehicle?
