Kolkata Walks-Flower Market at Mullick Ghat

Categories: Personal
September 13, 2017

This summer, when I was in Kolkata I came across calcuttawalks – a company which organises walks to explore the various parts of the city. Even though I am a Kolkata girl, the city always has lanes and alleys to explore which I wanted to capture. Armed with my camera and my curiosity, I ventured out with my husband and a fellow photographer Anirban Dutta to explore the Flower Market, Hoogly Bridge and Kumartoulli (a place that needs a separate post).

Swarmed with stalls showcasing different varieties of flowers matched by the energy of around 2000 sellers, the Flower Market at Mullick Ghat in Kolkata boasts of 125 years of heritage and stands as the largest Flower Market in Eastern India.

We started at 7 in the morning when the markets were waking up and coming alive. It was a hot and humid morning but little mattered for my lenses which were taken over by the flavour of the surrounding.

 

Happy Anniversary!

CIRCA-2003!

 

“I guarantee there will be tough times. I guarantee that there will be times when one or both of us might  want to get out but I also guarantee that if I don’t ask you to be mine, I will regret it for the rest of my life.”

With these lines he had proposed to me in 2001. Though these lines were borrowed from a film (Runaway Bride), but till date it feels so honest and so HIM.

I took 6 months to say yes! 6 months!!!

In retrospect, if I had known this is how my life is going to turn out -I would have taken less than 6 minutes. It has been a roller coaster in every sense of the word-with its highs and some terrible lows. . I am pretty darn sure that it is only because of you that I have been able to survive those ‘lows’. Nobody else can make things alright the way you can.

You really are the better part of me and I love you truly.

Happy Anniversary.
