<p>Soulful Cal!: The People, Places and Treasures That Make Kolkata Home is a heartfelt celebration of the City of Joy — its people, flavours, traditions and timeless charm.<br>In this captivating collection, author Aritra Sarkar takes you on a journey through Kolkata’s iconic street food, legendary neighbourhoods, hidden cultural treasures and the rich tapestry of festivals, music and crafts that give the city its soul. From the smoky allure of the first Kathi Roll to the delicate sweetness of rosogolla, from the bustling chaos of Burrabazar to the quiet magic of roadside booksellers, each chapter blends meticulous research with vivid storytelling.</p><p>More than a travelogue, this is a personal story of reconnection. Having once drifted away from his roots — both physically and emotionally — the author finds his way back, rediscovering Kolkata not just as a city, but as a living extension of the self.</p><p>Whether you’re a proud Kolkatan, a homesick expatriate, or simply a lover of culture and history, Soulful Cal! will stir your senses, ignite your nostalgia, and deepen your bond with this extraordinary city.</p>
