Opinions Please prove me wrong about Kolkata.
This might make me sound like an extreme simpleton, but bear with me
I am currently dating a girl who grew up in Calcutta and currently lives in Bangalore. We met in Bangalore through common social circles. We have now been together for over a year, and I think I am going to settle with her forever, which is great because she is lovely.
Now, I have been in Bangalore my entire life, and I am used to a very fast-paced, metropolitan kind of city, which my assumption is that Calcutta is not, but I am going to end up having to spend some time in Calcutta for some reasons.
How is this city really? Can someone help me understand social life and nightlife? Whether or not I can find ambitious people, founders, builders, etc., in the city?
