Thanks for visiting Kolkata, West Bengal, India
5 Noble prize winner (including 1st Asian) & 1 Oscar awardee are from the city . Hell of a flex huh ...
Great flex Indeed!
So what Stupid Nobel prizes??? Streets are gregarious with portholes and dirt
Berlin has 111 Nobel laureates And a spotless city
@@Maxsarkar if Nobel prizes r stupid, Where's urs xd.. What a jerk
Idk how noble prize will help the city. Kolkata is so dirty.
Top-tier flex but only this thing doesn't not mske a city great
Guys, please don't fly straight to Delhi or Mumbai after Kolkata. Please do visit North Bengal (the hilly northern part of West Bengal). You'll really like it.
Yeaaa

Its not a city its an emotion...City of Joy is the cultural capital of India.❤
Kolkata is a emotion less , সব পাবলিক repeatitive pattern এ কথা বলে ও আচরণ করে ও ব্যবহার করে । একদম রোবটের মত ।

Kolkata is considered the cultural capital of India. Delhi is the political capital and Mumbai is the financial capital.
I think it is a fair share :)
Correct ❤️
considered by who?

Just want to say THANK YOU!!
I’am 39 years old and was adopted from Calcutta India 🇮🇳 when I was 3 months old.
I travel quit a bit worldwide but for personal reason haven’t gone back home yet…
But watching these vids you two beautiful souls give me encouragement ❤
Also I love that ya’all are REAL!!
No BS 🤘🏾
Aww, thank you sooo much dear 🥰 big hugs!
Kolkata is a land of music
You may find music concert everywhere. Most of the famous well known Bollywood films singers,Music directors and actors from Kolkata . I heard almost every house they practice singing.
That's very interesting to know! Thank you
The whole Bengal is a land of Music. Not just Kolkata.
Kolkata also have it's own bengali film and music industry. You should try those too🥰
Not only music.Bengalis are obsessed with India,Football and politics.
@@hasibalfuad9652 well kolkata is the centre of culture in all Bengal so all talented Bengalis end up in Kolkata looking for exposure
I am glad that you visited & liked Kolkata. It was impressive that Mike had learnt a few Bengali words. Thanks for the video
Loves kolkata always. The city of joy. You get here nice delicious food, nice culture like RABINDRANATH TAGORE , nice shopping mall & nice chepest street shop, friendly atmosphere, higher level education,cheapest transportation & world famous politics.
Thank you for watching our video!

Fun fact- Rabindranath Thakur is his real name. Now guess how it became Tagore.
How do you learn Bengali language?
@@subratasaha59 In Bangladesh ❤️
Yes indeed
Its the best city in India ❤️❤️❤️
@@manjitsingharora5603 I like Punjabi dishes. I'm from Kolkata and planning to visti north Punjab, Jammu, Kashmir.
You both have picked up quite nice Bengali language.
Mamu is mainly used in Bangladesh and Kolkata uses “dada” or “didi” generally to address unknowns.
The building which is on the background of Nandan lake is called “the 42” and the tallest building in india. It’s not building no 43. It’s named 42 because the address. Is 42 Chowringhee road Kolkata .
Amazing video I must say
It is a typical picture of kolkata that comes to my mind after seeing this video. Knowledge culture old new green street food, a perfect blend of everything.
Now you know why kolkata is called City Of Joy , Amor De La India ❤️
Nice to have some videos in CZcams. Love from Kolkata.Proud to be an kolkatian
Thank you too for watching!!
Michael and Gigi make your trip successful and complete, (blessed)❤️❤️🇧🇩🇧🇩
We will miss you bro 🥰
You enjoyed a great moment in our country.
Love from Bangladesh 😘💝
It's good to see that you visited Nandan, this place is a cultural hub of Kolkata.
It is a good trip progression for you from Bangladesh to India, as you can really understand the similarities and differences between these neighbouring countries that way. It is a lot like other places in Europe as well: you have a culturally, economically and politically dominating neighbour that influences the others for better or worse reasons. It's a beautiful thing, and how it has been forever throughout history. A cultural tug of war.
Well said. Respect from kolkata, india 🤍
Ekdom thik!
Never read a better comment than this on the internet. Kudos tomake
Hi Mike & Gigi,
Hope your having a great time, we miss you guys a lot. Love how your Bangla is improving as time goes by. Stay safe & take care. Much love from Sylhet 🇧🇩❤️🇷🇴
Halka halka ☺️
Haha nice one 😃👍🏼
Kolkata was India's first capital. The most educated class of people also comes from West Bengal
You guys are so cool, you are so kind in the way you talked to the Indian people. So sweet.
Best food, great culture and heritage, very passionate & helpful people made Kolkata one of the best in the world !!The city of joy !!!
Definitely one of best .I personally think all 4 Indian metro cities are unique and best.what I like about kolkata is it's food, raw emotion among people n well informed people
Kolkata is city of joy.
Love from BD
Awesome coverage. Will wait for more!😍
Fascinating!
I miss this in pandemic so much.. Seeing our Kolkata, India from foreigners prospective
There is Darjeeling(queen of hills) also very good hill station in west bengal .and in india there is tons of places to see you guys can go Ladakh,Varanasi , Rishikesh,kashmir,Hampi,Ajanta & ellora,Auroville and also Southern india Tamilnadu,Kerala,karnataka .
In bengal we call each other'' dada'' not mama
Dang, still have to practice this :)
@@DodoExplorers Here, Mama means brother of your mother.
dodo and dada 🙂
& in Bangladesh, mostly we call "Vai/Bhai"...Mama to specific some peoples.
@@Abdullah_Al_Saud Here too, younger brother is "Bhai" and older brother is "Dada".
That's my Kolkata - I have lived out of the country for 21 years and will return soon. Thank you for making such a beautiful and interesting video on the City Of Joy.
That's why we called the city of joy (Kolkata).
Well done man good work 👏
I love Kolkata city
Mee too ❤️
There are lot of places to explore in Kolkata...some of them are Victoria Memorial,Indian Museum,Zoological Gardens,Botanical Gardens,National Library,Eco Park(its a must) James Princep ghat and if possible take a cruise along the Hooghly river.❤❤❤
I love to visit Kolkata
Howrah bridge, science city , jorasako thakur bari, kaligath temple, daskhinewar temple, babughat and flower market beside that, netaji bhawan.
You are awesome, dude! Come back again to kolkata.
From West Bengal 🇮🇳❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🇮🇳❤️
Kolkata is not just a city we live in it's a living breathing part of our lives,,,❤
One more thing, we don't address people by calling them 'mamu' we call them 'Dada' here in kolkata, mamu is a Bangladeshi way of addressing people
@Souradeep Datta 😐
"Dada" is for same-age people or semi-elder people.For elder or senior people we use "Kaka".
czcams.com/video/juErRb4tArQ/video.html
Guys try to say "Nomoshkaar" (pronounce kaar as car) instead of "Namaste" when you're in West Bengal. That's the word for "Namaste" in Bengali (Bengali of West Bengal because almost all Bangladeshis say Assalam Walikum). But, it's alright to use "Namaste" too. No offence to Hindi speakers.
Bengalis says "Nomoshkaar"
Nomoshkar Dada
It would sound better than Namaste mamu
Thanks for this guys, I'm headed to Kolkata this Friday for a few days
Hey Rachel, enjoy your time and stay hydrated 😅
The video is very nice. Great view. You shared a great video,
I live in Barrackpore, Kolkata?
I would be very happy to meet you once.
you can't say it best in india many cities are far ahead of kolkata but kolkata has different feeling because it was once capital of india
Ur name is funny. Change it into expose America and europe.
Best in what? Everyone has different parameters.

Subscribed to your channel immediately after seeing the thumbnail and caption only-- anybody who praises my home city deserves my full devotion!! Thanks for the video- now I am going through all your videos one by one.. Best wishes.
You guys are amazing and made me real proud while exploring Kolkata.
Please Make some more videos on Kolkata..
There are more places to explore and you'll love them.
Thank you sooo much 🥰
During the British rule till 1911 Calcutta was the capital of India. By the latter half of the 19th century, shimla had become the summer capital. King George v announced the transfer of the capital from Calcutta to Delhi at the climax of the imperial court of 1911 on December 12, 1911.
It’s only been two months since I had to move out for work. 😔😔. I’m proud of being a Bengali and proud of my city, the city of love. It hurts to see, how some wannabes forget their roots their culture so easily.
Indeed...keu keu to ache jader bangla bolte lojja laage
You gained so much knowledge about my city and its language. It surprised me when you mentioned Ektara.
you guys becomes celebrities people taking pictures...Happy Bon voyage
Wow!! How soo beautiful Calcutta is..😍😍 from London 🌹
Love back ❤️

@@ankankumarpanja3649 Kolkata is a City : Calcutta is Emotion 💓
Bro if you are in west bengal you must visit Darjeeling in north of West Bengal and also the craft beer culture is very popular in Kolkata
Craft beer? Do tell me more 😜
@@DodoExplorers LOL😂
@@DodoExplorers LMAO 😂😂
Lovely Video North India is totally ... Different place ,culture food every.. thing do visit there
Loved your video. Visit again in winter. Keep going 👍
Every city in India has its own charm..so it's diffclt to say which is best ..but for me yes ..Kolkata is the best..
Along with Kolkata, visit Darjeeling, Dooars and Sundarbans.
I am really inspired watching your videos on Bangaladesh as despite being my neighbouring country, I have never visited it. However it's your vlog on my city that is close to my heart. Thanks for coming.
Beautifully capture video 👌
Keep it up.👍it funny when you can't find a word to describe something sometimes 😂
Carlos volpe another CZcamsr said that..His favorite city is Kolkata..
India has huge variety of food . in every 50 km food changes . whenever you visit a restaurant ask for special Thali of that state you are in. in thali you will get most popular food items of that state. for example if you are in Chennai which is capital of Tamil Nadu State then ask for a Tamil thali. a thali can be both veg and non veg type you have to mention which one you want. this is how you can taste more food item at once .
most flavourful food are in Kerala known for its beefs and fishes
for veg Chennai is the place
Hyderabad has the best non-veg items
Kolkata is the sweet hub of not only India but the world
for delicious snacks it is Ahmedabad
Mumbai is the street food capital of India
please visit North East India for best pork
for Delhi Belly the city with the similar name is the place.
Thank you for watching and for all these great suggestions!
@@DodoExplorers Must visit Andaman & Nicobar island, Lakshadweep island, (Sikkim, Darjeeling near Kolkata), Himachal Shimla, Kashmir, Meghalaya, Northeast INDIA 👈💥
Being a bengali, I really appreciate your effort to explore kolkata.no doubt a humble gesture.
Yes it is. The city of joy and my heart always wretches to go there
proud to be a kolkata citizen. Most cultural and historical city in india and also world.
Bro most culture but not historical because ujjain is most historical city of temples
Btw I am from noida
Your Bengali is great ❤️
Thank yooou!
Felt like a very short video! But nice. Show us the colonial type traditional trams of Kolkata. specially broken black brick roads both sides of the track of the tram.
Michael and Giji, Kolkata will amaze you. However, you have chosen not the right time to visit because it is too hot now. However, see the tourist guide and make a Kolkata and neighborhood tour. Don't forget to see Eco Park, Victoria Memorial, Eden Garden and New town. You have come to the food and cultural capital of India and enjoy everything at an affordable price. Giji I saw you singing a Rabindra sangeet. Do that in presence of a local gathering and they will love it. This city has given to the world six Nobel Laureates (a rare feat in the world). Enjoy your trip but be careful with the traffic.

Maradona ,Messi , Pele , Ronaldo all of them came here once . ☺️
Wonderful. Your vlog is different from any other foreigner. Both of are are amazing and you have a lively heart.
Thx a lot man, we're trying our best!
Nothing to says just I remember my old vibes through your vlog....
I love Romanian Music particularly Valeriu Sterian, Transylvania Phoenix and Inna.
I also love Romanian movies like God's Own Country, 4 Months 3 Weeks 2 Days and Revansa.
Some great directors from Kolkata are the following
1) Satyajit Ray
2) Mrinal Sen
3) Ritwik Ghatak
4) Tapan Sinha
5) Aparna Sen
Oo, you have my respect, especially for knowing about Phoenix :)
You missed Rituparno Ghosh
Kolkata🇮🇳 and Dhaka🇧🇩 are twin metropolitan cities as both of them are Bengali cities.
@Omio and when you know that Dhaka ( capital of a country) isn't comparable to even Kolkata (capital of a state in a other country).
@Omio bt i think Dhaka is more developing than Kolkata
Every city of India is best every city has its different quality
I do render my hearty congratulations for your enjoying our Kolkata from Romania.
I'm also from kolkata.. And you guys speak bengali very well😂😂
hey, in kolkata, say 'DADA' to any stranger (Man) and "DIDI" to a stranger (woman). And normally say " No-mos-kar' !!
Love you guys ..
Keep doing this types of Vlogs , we with you all time....... I just now subscribed you also 😉
Love you brother , Love you from KOLKATA ❤️

Welcome to Kolkata The City of Joy..... Thanks for Fabulous Explore .. Lot's of love for both of you ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much dear for watching our videos ❤️
It is not the ideal time to visit kolkata as it gets very hot and humid in summers....Even we natives don't get out that much in Summers because of the heat....the weather is very pleasant during November and December is best for visiting kolkata...
No doubt Kolkata now is the best in India, very amicable very hearty city old one is little congested because of its space and population but greater Kolkata is and new one are awesome. Last but not the least this is the food capital of the country
It's Mumbai lot more rich 🤑 and many tourist places also and top hotels and very modern and large number of skyscrapers and richest house of this planet is also located here and Marine drive
@@higyssindhu904 also 50% of Mumbai lives in slums but we r going to pretend ✨
@@higyssindhu904 Every time someone mentions slum only one thing comes to my mind and you know what’s it 😂😂

It's one of the best......you should explore whole country........🇮🇳❣️
not only, kolkata, explore other parts of bengal also pls - Nadia, Murshidabad, Kochbihar, Soliguri, Darjeeling, Digha. 🤗
also try out the dada-boudi biriyani at Barrackpore.
Kolkata is one of the largest city of India, it's called as the cultural capital of India & it's more bigger than the capital city of Bangladesh Dhaka.
Kolkata is one third of Dhaka . Dhaka is comparable to delhi or mumbi
@@rakibulalom8025 Dhaka is just not comparable with our other cities like Nagpur, Pune, Lukhnow,Kochi,Vijag & you talking about Delhi.what a joak.I think you working in a comedy show.

Come back again to BD whenever its possible and suitable for you .. till then enjoy and keep walking like "Jhonny walker"!!
Bangladesh?
Bruh this is kolkata in India😑
3:33 your pronunciation of Bangladesh was 100% accurate in terms of how a Bengali person would say it.

I like the way u said dhonnobad..😊
Love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩❤️
i can see in the starting you went past short street, where my college is. I hope you had a great experience in our city!
Every city in India has their own goodness but as a Kolkata local I can tell you it's a melting point of jews, armenian, Chinese, afghans and Indian's everyone has their Mark on this city. Btw not every building was built by British. Some are built by Jews of Kolkata..🙂 you can't compare kolkata with other cities. Kolkata has long history of independence struggle and take a significant role in India's freedom fight against British raj. The National Anthem of India is titled 'Jana Gana Mana'. The song was originally composed in Bengali by India's first Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore. Who was from this city and great Satyajit Ray was an Indian filmmaker, screenwriter, documentary filmmaker, author, essayist, lyricist, magazine editor, illustrator, calligrapher, and music composer. Ray is widely considered one of the greatest filmmakers of all time in world cinema also from Kolkata. We love arts and literature and football/soccer.⚽🥅 Mohun Bagan Athletic Club was founded on 15 August 1889 as Mohun Bagan Sporting Club and is one of the oldest and most historic football clubs in India. If you love football then it is the right place. It is called Mecca of Indian football.
Have to visit this place! Thank you for your comment!
May I ask you if the Armenians, Afghans, Marwari-Rajasthanis, and the few Punjabis there mix with local/ethnic Bengalis (as in mixed couples and mixed marriages)?
@@folk2630 no not too much. Only hindus mix a little bit.
Wht about
"Bande mataram" ?
Its also written by a Bengali
@@arijitbagchi1192 -
Thank you for answering my question. So, a few Marwari and Punjabi Hindus mix with Bengali Hindus in West Bengal? Why don’t more mix?
