INDIA - Is This Really The "City of Joy"? 🇮🇳

- Kolkata, often referred to as the "City of Joy," is a vibrant and culturally rich metropolis in eastern India. This unique city has been one of the most incredible and vibrant cities I have visited this year.
The city has a fascinating blend of history and modernity. It was the capital of British India until 1911, and remnants of its colonial past are still visible in its architecture. The city's colonial history, vibrant colors, yellow taxis, chaotic bazaars, and hospitality of Kolkata people make it a city that leaves a lasting impression on anyone who visits.
Was it really "City of Joy"? Absolutely. My videos will show even better images than I can describe😍🇮🇳

Is there anyone who follows me from West Bengal state in India? 🇮🇳❤
Yes bro... But left the State 5 months ago.
Yes
Yes ..I'm from Kolkata
yes
Welcome to our beautiful West Bengal... I'm from West Bengal.❤❤
The people are so friendly. That's what I love about Indian people! you are so lucky to travel and meet so many beautiful people. Safe travels.
Yeah real friendly if you are a single female over there.
@@franks3904 Not that much in Kolkata (officially the safest city of India and also if you see foreign women vlogs comaring Kolkata to a city like Delhi) or Bengal especially by native Bengalis. That issue is largely located in Hindi heartland of North India especially in the plains, not saying there's no issue elsewhere including Bengal but proportions are way less for that stereotype. Tourists just avoid those regions. Just travel South India, Bengal, North East and few other West Indian places and maybe only the hill tourist spots of North India and they will get a good Indian experience with relative safety.
@@franks3904 What are you talking about? Indian girls usually move in massive groups, not by themselves. India is one of the many countries that segregates the genders quite a lot so this is why that happens, males stick together and females stick together.
I would always say to someone visiting not to go to cities, they're not a vibe at all. The heart of India is in it's villages, where 65% of it's 1.4 billion people live. To see the village/small town life is much more representative of the country as they are much more domestic and family orientated. Vibrant, lively and buzzing. Music, noise and huge groups of women and girls with long flowing hair and bright colourful clothes, out and about for mela or dancing in unison for festivals. It's like a never ending sea of colours, their clothes make everywhere you look seem like a kaleidoscope 🤩.
Unfortunately, foreign tourists don't tend to visit villages as that's not where the money is, so they never experience India properly. Most villagers would have never even seen a foreigner. So instead, tourists get stuck in city streets in Delhi or Mumbai etc, where it's just a bunch of vendors earning money for their families. Most vendors are men sending money back to their wives/girlfriends and kids back in their villages. So if a tourist only experiences this, it's a real shame, they don't get to see the beauty of anything this way.

Welcome to Kolkata , India dear friend from Azerbaijan 😊 . Hope you enjoy your stay !
It's impossible to find a kind hearted person like u on this earth.
These 'Ambassador' car cabs( manufactured by Hindustan Motors) in Kolkata ( Calcutta) are actually model adaptations of British made ' Morris Oxford' brand. These are considered heritage vehicles and part of the city's history...similar to what u get in UK i.e., the TX4 made by the London Taxi Co.
Har Har Mahadev! Glory to Lord Mahadev ! Mahadev is another name of Lord Shiva! You are absolutely right he did pray for everyone!
I have been to Kolkata twice for interviews, the people are very kind and helpful. I had a few friends from Kolkata while I was working at Ranchi in a gas manufacturing unit. Enjoy your stay there.

Davud you are doing amazing things. There are n number of travel vloggers. All good and earning from it. But your's is a different case. You paid 500 bucks for just 40. In Assam you gave 5000 to that shoemaker. May be you have lot of money so giving few bucks extra doesn't matter for you. But for a roadside vendor it means a lot. What means a lot for you is the glimpse of a smile on shoemaker and Tapas tea vendor. Really inspiring and motivational for the people watching, to offer little tips to small & hard working people. Wish you all the success in life. Today's world needs people like you. I hope I can meet you in Azerbaijan some day in life.❤
Your genoristy to people make me shred a drop of tear out of happiness🙏🏼

Welcome. Thanks For Very Nice Video.
Surely .... I follow all your Videos from Kolkata
Your generacity is excellent. in Kolkata many people understand Hindi. You are visiting India repeatedly. That is very nice of you. India is a vast country. you should try to learn some basic Hindi and Bengali words. That will help you to understand people of India and it's culture. That will also make your movement and journey easier. I have observed that you prefer bread-omelette with tea as breakfast. That is very good. Healthy and tasty.
Your simplicity is Enviable. Carry on. We are following you.
It's alwayz pleasure to see your vlogs
I follow your blog. Last time I saw your Guwahati visit. In general, u will find Indians hospitable. I thank u for what I observed that you are one of the bloggers who has come to India with a positive frame of mind. Enjoy your visit.
David is helping on his journey..May God bless you brother..❤
This is a blessed day God bless keep safe and sound in india

Hii bro i saw your vlogs from sri lanka and i loved your work and i also watch you are very kind
Loved your vlogs..you are really a kind person and you spread love everywhere you go.
Brother your vedioes are so nice thanks for everything❤
Lovely, crazy old school Kolkata....one of the only large cities in India which still is stuck in time, and has its old world charm. The street food in Kolkata is the best, and very reasonable. People are warm and like to chat with you. Its my hometown but i dont live there anymore. Enjoy rolls, phucchka, churmur, fish fry, shingara, kochuri, kobirajai cutlet, biryani, chaamp, rezala, moghlai paratha, chicken bharta with rumali roti, chaats, momo, chowmien etc etc And of course Bengali food.
Not stuck in time but the place where he resided isn't even part of Kolkata that's NORTH 24 PARAGANAS
Main Kolkata is different and modern.
@@Shemo-3700 Empty vessels sound much! Nager Bazar is Nort 24 Parganas? Dumdum area , Gora Bazar are not in Kolkata? How stupid one could be ? Airport is where ? in Nadia?
@@Shemo-3700baal modern. All blue and white building. Go to park street and see roads have mini plateaus and mountains. Same with Camac Street. All tarpoline sheets on pavement. Baal modern.
Davud you explore the city in a good manner, always try to help poor and needy.
