"Calcutta is not for everyone. You want your city clean and green, stick to Delhi. You want your city rich and impersonal, go to Bombay. You want them hi-tech and full of draught beer, Bangaloreโs your place. But if you want a city with a soul, come to Calcutta."
- Vir Sanghvi,, Indian television journalist
