A Few Clichéd Data on Kolkata that will Interest all Kolkatans


Let's face it, we are data people, and it is a common perception about analysts that they are dry and boring. But that is not the case as we aim to prove with this article on the most common DATA about Kolkata and it's Bengalis that are so clichéd that even soap operas sulk at them. But then again they are true and interesting because a data visualization training institute in Kolkata would have it no other way.

Best described by Vir Sanghvi who once stated that, if one wants their cities clean and green, then they should go to Delhi, if want them high-tech and full of beer then go to Bangalore, if you want them rich and impersonal, then go to Bombay; but if you want to have a city with a soul then come to Kolkata.

 Kolkata is best summarized as a city that is mysterious, enigmatic, enterprising, respectful and teeming with amazing foods. But did you know these few facts about Kolkata?

The father of Roshogolla hails from this sweet land:

When you think of Bengalis I'm sure you think of Roshogolla. So, let us introduce to you the Father of Roshogolla, Sri Nobin Chandra Das, a humble sugar merchant from an ordinary family. He first invented this mouth-watering delicacy. But he did not have FaceBook among other sophisticated marketing tools to promote his business. The story goes like this, a wealthy merchant once came to his shop to drink some water, and like a good hospitable merchant he offered the man some water with his homemade Roshogolla. Then what happened is written in history the merchant ordered large quantities of Roshogolla for his friends and family and Nobin Chandra became a legend for all bongs with a sweet tooth. And now Kolkata is the lush land of Roshogolla and other legacies of mouth watering sweets thanks to the sweet-minded lineage of Nobin Chndra.

The mysterious passengers of Rabindra Sarovar Metro Station:

Caution if you travel by this route and would not like to have paranormal friends traveling with you then read no further. A lot of buzz have been made that this particular metro station is haunted as almost 70% of all people who have died in the metro station committed suicide. That is why many passengers vouch that they have seen eerie figures disappear with the last train of the subway.

The carnival of Durga Pujo:

While the ordinary nightlife of Kolkata is restricted to the youth only, but this so called perceivably lazy city becomes all vibrant and active, bustling with lights, life and laughter during the 4 day carnival of Durga Pujo. These are the four days that cannot be explained with words, you must endure it to understand it, everywhere from 90 year old grandmas, to teenagers and young couples to children with their toy cap-pistols, this is a different city altogether in these special days. 

High cranial content and academia:

Yes yes everybody already knows that whole thing about what Bengal thinks today… this is the city known for its academia, intellectual discussions, debates on anything under the sky. This city is ahead in terms of all subjects, be it arts, culture, literature, sciences or technology. And this city is also one the foremost cities to have joined the bandwagon of data visualization training in Kolkata.
