An Ode to Kolkata

If Kolkata is lazy , why does my maid come at 6.00 in the morning?
If Kolkata is crowded, how come it takes me only 15 minutes to reach office?
If Kolkata is political , why have I worked on all bandhs
If Kolkata sleeps early, how have I spent so many nights out?

It was the capital of a nation when Delhi wasn't one .
It was a major port when mumbai was still a fishing wharf.
It was city when B'lore was still a village .

Kolkata the city of 1000 cuisines and not hamburgers.
Kolkata the city that plays sports not games.
Kolkata the city where people watch cinema not movies.

It takes time to appreciate finer things in life.
It sure took a long time to appreciate you.
