Vacations are an integral part of everyone's life. It has become almost like a necessity to escape the choke hold that work stress has on hardworking people. People visit many beauties all over the world and they come back with many stories and many memories but only a few come back saying that they visited a place which felt like a home away from home. Kolkata, with all its variety, spice and all its rich diversity, is one of those places that bring out the best in you and makes you feel wanted and appreciated in every little thing you do. It is one of those rare places in our country which becomes a home away from home for its short-term as well as long-term visitors. Numerous small hangouts and places contribute towards giving Kolkata its lovely reputation. Princep Ghats provides a very peaceful and serene atmosphere for all its visitors. Boat rides, the subtle wind constantly blowing all your worries away and the wonderful ambience of the place contributes towards making anyone's Kolkata trip a memorable one.If you're someone who enjoys street shopping (most people in our India usually do), then New Market is just the place. The lights, the hustle-bustle, the noise and even the crowd contribute towards making the place a complete package for the average Indian. Kolkata, being the rich and diversified place that it is-has no shortage of famous temples and churches. Dhakshineshwar, Birla Temple, Iskcon Temple, Kalighat Temple, St.Paul's Cathedral and many more places of religious interest are scattered all over this massive city and help to satisfy many devotees from all over the world. Book worms will also not feel out of place in the city of joy. College Street is another mesmerizing place which holds all the book lovers' dreams and aspirations in its enormous range. Books ranging from western writers like Jane Austen, Thomas Hardy to Indian writers like Anita Nair, Amitava Ghosh and many more are available here. College Street is the book lovers' dream comes true. Tram, a part of Kolkata tradition helps you to get a glimpse of the old India and makes you reminiscence over the good old days. Taxi service Kolkata is one thing you just cannot avoid or escape. Apart from local taxi operator, several online car rental companies have been providing its services all around the city. These car rental firms provide taxi hiring and cab booking facilities to their customers at competitive prices. Moreover, some of these companies have launched their apps which made them available among the users. If you decide to spend one evening just studying the crowd while killing time just standing on the Howrah Bridge, rest assured that it is an evening you'll not regret. The ferry rides on one side along with a glorious view of the elegant sun setting over the HooghlyRiver makes you feel rejuvenated and relaxed. Complete description of this city is valid without the mention of grand Victoria Memorial. Covering a massive area Victoria Memorial provides an amazing hangout for friends, couples,family and also serves as a location for many functions like "The Kolkata Literary Meet",which further contributes in highlighting the importance of the city. Food is one thing you simply can’t avoid while in Kolkata. Its cuisine has the power to make the strictest dietician fall for the food. Street food with its Pavbhaji, Dosas, Poochkas and many more satiate the cravings of thousands of people. Apart from that,many amazing restaurants and cafes like Wise Mrs. Magpie and Owl Cafe in Southern Avenue, Barbecue in Park Street, The Little Donkey at Bhawanipur, The Great Indian Coffee House at College Street, serves the delicacy and taste of Kolkata cuisine at its best. With its grandeur of festivals being celebrated every year, Kolkata is one of the most vibrant and lively cities of India. The people sure know how to liven things up. To conclude Kolkata is truly a city satisfied and partly glorified in its diversification.From street shopping to magnificent malls, from tram rides to hand pulled rickshaws, from street food to The Grand Oberoi-this city has it all.Since centuries, this city has been exemplifying the miniature example of the culturally and traditionally diversified country that India is.
