Torrential rains in Kolkata from 2 am on 2025-09-23

It has started raining cats and dogs here in Kolkata since 2 am on Tuesday 2025-09-23. 

It's past 3.45 am while posting the videos recorded from the 1st floor balcony of my house near Salt Lake Stadium. There's no respite from the intensity of the downpour. 

Saptami of Durga Puja is less than a week away. Only hope that the festivities don't get washed away. 

Roads in Kolkata will be totally waterlogged almost throughout the morning and afternoon. 

Drive safe. 

Too many panautis have swarmed West Bengal!

Digha's Jagannath Dham Cultural Centre unhygienic halal prasad

Digha's Jagannath Dham Cultural Centre unhygienic halal prasad made by muzlims at various locations in West Bengal were distributed free of cost with ₹20 spent per packet containing a peda and a goja from the state government exchequer in late June and early July 2025. 

The packet was offered to me on 2025-07-01 by a shop owner who's an acquaintance of mine. I politely declined to consume the prasad. However, I clicked enough photos for your perusal.
