This is a picture I took a year ago...It is a broken window of a Madrasha hostel. Back then, there was the winter season and ice-cold air was blowing heavily. It was a small attempt to escape from the incisive wind. They used Jainamaz there to protect themselves, which they usually use for prayer. The thing is, those Jainamaz were facing contradictory positions. 

  I went to that Kolkata three years ago, where a long time ago people used to stand in a long line only to watch Akira Kurosawa's cinema. But nowadays Kolkata doesn't look like before. It doesn't have such art and literature in the present as it used to have in the past. But still, Kolkata is a very historic city. It used to be the capital of British colonialism. You can find that British architecture in Kolkata easily. The trams which are significantly very slow and the Howrah Bridge are one of those two trademarks which define Kolkata very evidently. But you can't imagine Kolkata without the yellow taxis. The yellow taxis are the beauty of Kolkata. Unfortunately nowadays the modern taxi services which basically works with the help of apps, are taking the place of Yellow taxis. That's why the number of yellow taxis is decreasing day by day. It's very unfortunate to see.
