This shot was taken beside kolkata Maidan on a Sunday.
The Maidan is one of the most picturesque areas of Kolkata and is a green expanse which is all of 400 hectares. From the north to south, it stretches 3 Kms and is bound by the majestic Strand Road to the West and the famous Chowringhee Road to the east. This awesome green belt of Kolkata is referred to as the lung of Kolkata. For many, Maidan is a place for rest and relaxation, particularly in the scorching summer months when the temperature hovers around 40 degree Celsius. The lush greenery of Maidan is an open invitation for morning walkers and joggers. Fitness fanatics come to the Maidan and can be seen performing yoga. There are a few laughing clubs as well. Maidan comes alive during holidays and weekends. But the young and the old come to Maidan to chill off from the drudgery of everyday living. A carnival atmosphere prevails and children can be seen playing cricket, football and badminton in the lush green expanse while the elderly are busy gossiping about anything from local politics to rocket science. |
