Vanishing Double Decker from kolkata roads

hello kolkata,
have you noticed that the double deckers which used to ply in the city and transport us to our destination for decades has suddenly vanished from the roads.Have you ever wonder where they gone.I suppose not, because kolkata is fast becoming faster and faster day by day and we prefer Volvo's and Mercedes in our daily life not those old fashioned scraps which doesn't have ac or comfortable couch and runs less than 60kmps speed.So, they must go isn't it. Here is my point, is that what kolkata do, is that what our culture taught us .Isn't kolkata all about Past and Present existing side by side and creating an amazing harmony.YES it is. Kolkata have always created new but it had also preserved it's soul its past and tried to coexist .That's what we are.It is kolkata where we still seat on hand rickshaw, prefer an Ambassador that a maruti, love to get into a tram from maidan to khidirpur in the week ends.So how could we forget the red jumbos which used to be the king of the roads of kolkata.These RED double decker are our past our heritage our glorious history and should not let the government to scrap it.Rather we should declare those existing Red Jumbos as heritage vehicles.

If think that these beautiful Red Deckers should be preserved and declared as Heritage vehicles by the government then please raise your voice and make your opinion publish here and share with others.We, "kolkata Today", on behalf of you will forward each comment to the transport dept and apple the World Heritage Council. so friends please do make an effort to save these Red Jumbos of Kolkata and save our rich culture.

thank you,
hello kolkata

Hello Kolkata...........

hello !!! everybody. how r you? hope fine.
This is "hello Kolkata " at your service. You know i have been thinking of writing about my dear city for a long time. In my school days i wrote many articles for my school magazine , many of them were highly acclaimed by my teachers. They used to say that I am a true Kolkatan (citizen of Kolkata). I don't know how , but I used to process a deep love and affection for my city.I dream to make mu city look like Shanghai or Honkong . People do complains about the degrading infrastructure,bad transport medium,political unrest, bandh,water logging,dusty roads and poor maintenance of our city.But still I feel an amazing attraction towards my kolkata. After i completed my post graduation for CU, I got a job offer from Noida with a good pay package. I went their and worked for just 3months but couldn't survive for long . I feel clogged there, everything was there to enjoy, good friends, good money, better night life, better roads,transports, infrastructure and a well maintained city. But still i was unable to enjoy in full.I feel as if I am missing something. I resigned and came back to kolkata and spend a whole year without a proper job but I never regret it.Now i an employee of a MNC and in service for 2yrs now.
I feel exhausted,tired,sad,unhappy,emotional but never feel out of the pot.It's like a second home to me. So, now, as I have the opportunity to share my thoughts through blogging which is the best medium available to reach as many people in easy way, I decided to write my experience and facts about my lovely city , The City Of Joy - KOLKATA at KOLkata today.

Hope you ,who lives in kolkata or somehow associated to kolkata would enjoy my blog.

thank you,
Hello Kolkata.
