Calcutta

It may be cheesy, but try staying away from your city for the first time and you'll realize. Anyways, enjoy.

Calcutta

Calcutta,
Wo rasgullon ki shaan
Wo choone wale paan
Wo sandesh meethe-meethe
Wo puchke thode teekhe
Wo McD’s ka burger
Wo Hangout ke sizzler
Wo holi ki thandai
Wo bangali rasmalai
Wo KFC Wo CCD wo barbeque

Calcutta,
Wo Emami mein landmark
Wo Salt Lake ke park
Wo Lake Town ki galiyan
Park Street mein fuljhariyan
Wo science city ke trips
Wo diamond harbour se ships
Wo Shealdah ke phool
Wo country club ke pool
Wo space circle wo mani square wo by pass

Calcutta,
Wo baat-baat pe strike
Wo petrol prices hike
Wo Mamta Banerjee ke bhaashan
Buddhadev Bhattacharyake aashwasan
Wo UPA ke jhande
Wo CPI-M ke gunde
Wo jeep chalata Ajit Panja
Wo haath faelata Gopi Ranja
Wo loudspeaker wo rally wo sansad bhavan khaali

Calcutta,
Wo aquatica ki yaadein
Wo palm village mein raatein
Wo sheesha ka floor
Wo nicco park ka shor
Wo chatting karti raatein
Wo SMS pe baatein
Wo 206 number bus
Wo bada bazaar mein rush

Wo tution jaatein bacche
Wo kacche-kacche rastein
Wo mausam ki maar
Wo bearish ka intzaar
Wo gautams ki coffee
Wo orange wali toffee
Wo howrah wo rajarhat wo alipur
Wo beliaghata thoda door
Wo yaadein, wo mausam wo kaliyan
Wahi purana mera kalkatta

Wo eden gardens mein match
Wo ganguly ke catch

Wo pizza hut wo dominos
Wo moori roz-roz

Wo durga pooja ke pandal
Wo lihghtning aur dhamaal

Wo metro plaza, shopper stop, pantaloons, vardaan
Wo AC market ki dukaan

Wo scary house ke bhooton ka dar
Wo mama mia ka vanilla winter

Wo subway ke snack
Wo meals on wheels ke tracks

Wo riddhi-siddhi ke sandwich
Wo mayram ki pav-bhaji

Wo Jadavpur ke dange
Wo bhaggu ke pange

Wo Victoria mein jog
Wo sardiyon ki fog

Wo T2 aur telegraph
Wo aasman neela saaf

Wo time pe aati metro
Wo tram lines ka show

Wo karunamayi ke mele
Chaat-pakauro ke thele

Wo clown town mein skiing aur go-karting
Wo superbowl mein bowling

Wo swabhoomi mein rajasthani khaana
Aur fun fiesta mein paese lagaana

Wo filme dekhne paradise jaana
Wo 89 mein popcorn khaana

Wo city centre mein ghoomna
Wo timbaktu mein jhoomna]

Wo birla planetarium ka andhera
Wo botanical garden ka savera

Wo lions wo avantika wo milap
Wo sadkon pe thanda daab

Wo alipur ka chidiyaghar
Wo salt lake mein khone ka dar

Wo Dhakshineshwar mein dhakke
Wo station pe chhakke

Wo mausam wo aalam wo bhaasha
Wahi purana mera kalkatta
