ARE YOU NOT SHOCKED ? "The woman was taken to a room and asked to lift her dress in front of her 4-year-old daughter.She alleged it to be an incident of racial profiling". This sort of news once in a while compels me to think in what way the Europeans/Western people are better in #respecting #women !!! To be honest my own perception of people from the West were better but I am compelled to say such perverts are always there in every society that me Western or Oriental. Can't we respect "Women" ? Do we need another ? years to mend our "mindset"to look at any "woman" the way we look ? at our own "mother" "sister" "spouse" "daughter" or any other "blood relation" ?? It's enough and let's change our mindset. Let's be #respectful ... read more

There are many Kali temples in Kolkata, out of which two are quite famous. One is Dakhineswar Kaali temple and another is Kalighat Kaali temle. Dakheneswar kaali temple is situated at the northern side of Kolkata while Kalighat Kaali temple is at the southern side. Dakhineswar Kaali temple is famous because Ramakrishna Paramahansa was associated with this temple. Kalighat kali temple is famous because it is old and considered to be more sacred from religious angle. For tourists, Dakhineswar kaali temple is more attractive. It is not only beautiful but also comfortable (as there are no dalals). There is a distance of about 16-18 kms between the two temples. Kalighat is easily accessible. You can go to kalighat by town bus or by tram or by metro train. There is a metro station called Kalighat metro ... read more
