  Experience luxury in the City of Joy

• The city of Joy"

  Kolkata Tourism

  Kolkata, India's second biggest city, is a perpetually ongoing festival of human existence, concurrently luxurious and squalid, refined and frantic, pointedly futuristic, while beautifully in decay. A vibrant 350-year-old metropolis located on India's Eastern Coast, the capital of West Bengal thrives on contradictions and imposing spectacles; nothing is commonplace in this city. Famously known as the City of Joy, Kolkata is, in every sense, the artistic, cultural and intellectual capital of the country. Kolkata's streets are vivid, hectic, chaotic, and yet, brimming with life and creativity. Driven by the indomitable spirit of the self-made middle class, the city has created a beautiful juxtaposition of the old colonial-era charm with the nascent upcoming hipster culture that thrives amongst the city's millennial residents.

  
  
  
  
  
  

software Engineer life in Bangalore

Not bad!

If you are working in IT, staying in the IT corridor (Hebbal, Whitefield, Outer Ring Road, E-city – be used to a lot of traffic, sometimes right out of your home. This part of the city is not at all planned. Big complexes, smaller & lesser roads, no water, heavy construction in progress. That means lot of construction vehicles, water tankers, school buses, private buses, individuals driving cars & bikes & what not. The old city feels a bit less congested (even on weekdays).

If you are a foodie, part goer, ample places – plenty of really good & cute little café’s, diners with a view, diners with some great food of all variety, some really really easy on pocket but traditional eateries with lip smacking food (check Zomato), jazzy pubs & a good pub culture.
