মহামায়া সনাতনী, শক্তিরূপা, গুণময়ী।
তিনি এক, তবু প্রকাশ বিভিন্ন -
She is one, but she manifests in many.
In the smell of shiuli, in the beat of the dhaak, in the stories of our ancestors, She awakens. Not just in the pandals, but within us.
With the onset of Devipokkho, it’s a time to embrace the Durga within us all, the strength, the resilience, the unwavering spirit.
Let the cosmic power of the Divine Feminine ignite our inner fire!
শুভ মহালয়া 🌸

The gentle clink of the tram tracks, the rhythmic sway of the carriages, the familiar faces of the conductors - these are the moments that have long defined Calcutta’s soul. Trams have been a part and parcel of our daily lives for as long as we can remember. They’ve been a silent friend, letting us soak in the beauty of our city that is as old as time. But time is running out for our beloved trams.
As they prepare to bid farewell, let’s take a moment to cherish the memories they’ve created. Let’s remember the laughter shared on board, the friendships forged, and the sense of community they’ve fostered.
Share your favourite tram memories below and let’s keep this legacy alive!

In the streets of Lalbazar, where doctors fight for justice through sleepless nights, Kolkata’s true spirit shines. Neighbors, strangers, and friends come together, offering tea, biscuits, and bread with nothing but love in their hearts. This isn't just about food, it's about saying, 'We see you. We’re with you.' Moments like these remind us that Kolkata is more than just a city, it's a family.
When one of us stands up, we all rise together. 🤍

The 6th With Love and Kindness Initiative was a day of pure magic at Elliot Day School. 300 children’s faces lit up with joy as we shared songs, dances, games, and most importantly, a sense of belonging.
MCRA’s initiative goes beyond providing food; it’s about creating a space where love and kindness flourish. The shared laughter, the heartwarming connections—these are the moments that make life truly special.
We are grateful to Hangla Hnesel for their continued support, and to our patrons Joyashish Biswas and Rishav Rohit for their generous contributions in making this drive a success. Together, we’re planting seeds of hope and happiness, one child at a time.

It's been a tumultuous time for our beloved city. Calcutta's spirit flickers, yet burns bright.
In wake of the unspeakable tragedy, we gathered - entrepreneurs, artists, mothers, fathers, friends - a tapestry of shared grief and unyielding hope woven in the soft glow of candlelight.
Through murals that spoke volumes, through songs that trembled with our collective sorrow and resolve, we channeled our resistance.
As Dhiman Das, Director of K.C.Das Private Ltd. righteously said at the vigil, “It's unfortunate that we’ve
gathered here today due to the despicable act that was committed in our own city. I’ve had a lot of people tell me not to join the protests, I might be marked. There might be problems awaiting in the future. But why? Why should we sit around in fear? This isn’t the time to be afraid anymore. All of us entrepreneurs present here today, and all the citizens of Calcutta – we demand justice. We demand punishment for the perpetrators.”
Let us not be afraid. Not afraid to demand justice. Not afraid to demand safety for all. May Abhaya's memory forever echo in our hearts, a poignant reminder to build a world where her light shines free from fear.

On the very night we were meant to celebrate freedom, Calcutta took to the streets to reclaim it.
As the clock struck midnight, fireworks gave way to a different kind of roar.
Not of celebration, but of defiance.
From different localities in Calcutta to RG Kar Medical College and Hospital's violated halls, their war-song echoed.
Grandparents, clutching canes, walked beside toddlers on their parents' shoulders. Faces etched with anger, voices hoarse from chanting, yet their spirits unyielding.
This was not a political rally, but a collective heartbreak pouring onto the streets. A city united in grief, in fury, and in an unshakeable resolve.
78 years of Independence, yet our women still walk in fear.
But Calcutta rose.
You showed India, and the world, that we will not tolerate this anymore. That the streets also belong to us, the women, and we will reclaim them.
Every placard held high, every slogan chanted, was a brick in the fortress of our resistance. A fortress that will protect our daughters, our sisters, our mothers.
Calcutta, this Independence Day, you gave meaning to a legacy of courage, of compassion, and of the flames to a fight that will burn bright, till justice is served.
And justice will be served. For RG Kar and all women, everywhere.

How fitting that we celebrate the 5th edition of our Love and Kindness Initiative at Calcutta Rescue! The smiles, the music, the delicious food, and above all, the spirit of giving made it a day to remember.
Shoutout to Arfin Rana for the soul-stirring melodies and The Biryani Canteen and Hangla Hnesel for the mouthwatering feast. Your contributions added an extra sparkle to the day!
Here's to many more years of spreading love and kindness together with Meghdut, Pauline, and all our incredible supporters.
