Being Modern..........Way to go Calcutta.

Hey !!!!!!!!!!

Calcutta(I prefer Calcutta to kolkata, no offenses),a city of joy is going through a kind of change which is witnessed once in a few decades in any city. I have come back to this city nearly after four years ( I was doing my Engineering Course in the mean time). This city seems to have changed. A whole lot of skyscrapers have replaced the colonial possessions of this city, small shops which offered warmth have been mostly overdone by malls,Vendors replaced by Plazas and the art and cultural bent replaced by the madness for Modernity. Is Calcutta getting more modern or is it a desperation by a metro which is considered to be least developed among all the other metros ( I am just talking statistically)?
or The taste of people have really changed??

I tried to dwell on this proposition for a while but what surprised me the most was the recursive nature of thoughts-one answer leading to a lot more new questions and questions seeming endless as in a battle with the solutions,which it hates so much. And finally, I could conclude something. This city is on its way to Modernity-modernity defined in a manner which calls cities like New York and Bombay(Sorry again,Bombay suits me better) modern. But,i could not understand that does being modern mean getting away from the very roots which gave one recognition.

“Modernity is the transient, the fleeting, the contingent; it is one half of art

, the other being the eternal and the immovable.”

Let's get modern folks..........!!!!!!!!!!!!!
