Park Street Walks & Book Reading Session
Sunday, October 26, 2025
5pm to 7:30pm
An event for all who are in love with Park Street.
Starting point : Flurys
Ending point : Kulture - Speciality Coffee & Bistro
On a rainy day in the late 17th century, an enterprising agent of the British East India Company named Job Charnock sailed along the Hooghly River, a tributary of the Ganges that flows from high in the Himalayas into the Bay of Bengal, and pitched a tent on its swampy banks. The company bought three riverside villages. Soon they would become a port — flowing with opium, muslin and jute — and then, as the capital of British India until 1912, draw conquerors, dreamers and hungry folk from all over the world.
Calcutta, India’s first modern city, was born.
Over the years, it acquired many names: City of Palaces, Black Hole, Graveyard of the British Empire. In 2001, it was christened Kolkata — slower, rounder, ostensibly more Bengali-sounding.
“Great cities get old and somehow renew themselves,” said Mani Sankar Mukherji, whose remarkable 1962 novel, “Chowringhee,” chronicled life inside a roaring mid century Calcutta hotel.
Take a walk with us down Park Street. Plenty to share. Calcutta has much to say and show! Be in love with this city!
