People....the most important building block of any city. In fact people only make any town as a city or sometimes a megacity..If you really want to rank all the cities in terms of crowd, I bet my city would make a stand in top five ones.
Intro of my blog doesn't really mean that we here are overpopulated and all. But yes, we do love to form a crowd when something hits our heart...we can always relate to all festivals of all religions and castes...we can relate to Indian cricket team's wining every time no matter if Dada is there or not...we love to celebrate every small or big occasion with friends, family, people we know closely, even with people we hardly know.
I guess the biggest crowd my city ever saw was when Mr. Jyoti Basu died. I still remember the day. I was coming back home from IMS. I saw the entire AGC Bose Road was flooded with people and people. And surprisingly that crowd was not a paid crowd. People loved him, people followed him. That made every one to come out of their room and walk with his funeral.
The second biggest crowd you can expect in my city is the Durga puja crowd. Till the last year it was recorded that on Astami Night there was 40,000 people in just one famous puja pandal. People there go crazy on those four days of celebration. New clothes, various foods, colorful and lightened city roads, people just roaming around in the roads at midnight.....These are a few traits my city will never forget. I remember my puja nights. Making a group of 15-20 friends and roaming in the city....eating all possible fast foods and praying hard to God to take care of our digestive system...Seeing the whole city in the streets really makes my city more beautiful....
On a last note...I just wanna say, no matter how much crowded my city is....It's great, it's beautiful....And it can always say..I have thousands of heartbeats to follow, whenever my heart beats.
