Part memoir, part meditation, this anthology is a humble tribute to the city that is Calcutta—a city that continues to ignite the imagination of every artist who has wandered through her streets and felt her spirit, long after the pilgrimage has ended.

These poems wander through Calcutta’s streets, seasons, and silences. They capture long forgotten memories that often only make sense through layers of nostalgia – when one looks from afar and only then, realises the collective grandeur that is Mahanagar.
