Beyond tragic! The Calcutta of the late 60s when I was a college student, was vibrant. The atmosphere was charged, the students driven... to preserve a space that had so much character and possibilities. Today, I do dread the city... which I haven't visited since over four years. It's lost in a morass of indifference.

…”morass of indifference” - truly.
"Everybody in Kolkata believes they can change the world. Even when their own house is burning." Perfectly expressed.
Sad but true. Indeed.
Worshipping the past. .. Something we oldies too must be careful about :))
Neatly sketched the frustrations of a decaying city breathing feebly in its lost glory.
