শ্রীরামপুরঃ মাহেশ - জগন্নাথ মন্দির ও রথযাত্রা
শ্রীরামপুর - ইতিহাসের পাতা থেকেঃ শুরুর কথা
২০১৮ সালে শ্রীরামপুরে গঙ্গার ধারে একটি পুরোনো ভাঙ্গাবাড়ি সংস্কার হয়ে ড্যানিশ ট্যাভর্ন বলে একটা নতুন হোটেল এবং রেস্তোরাঁ খোলে শ্রীরামপুরে। প্রথমে কিছুদিন রাজ্য ট্যুরিজম বোর্ড এটিকে চালালেও পরে এটিকে পরিচালনার দায়িত্ব আসে পার্ক হোটেলের হাতে। ঐতিহাসিক ড্যানিশ ট্যাভর্নের হাত ধরে রাজ্যের ফুড-মানচিত্রে শ্রীরামপুর স্থান দখল করে নেয়। খাওয়ার সাথেই আসে ঘোরা। ইতিহাস প্রেমী হন বা না হন শ্রীরামপুর এলে দারুণ দারুণ দেখার জায়গাগুলো মিস করবেন না। কে জানে ক'বছর পর এসব আর তাদের জায়গায় থাকবে কি না!

Chinese Eateries in and around Old Cheenapara of Kolkata (টেরিটি বাজার)
Frankly speaking, today old China Town of Kolkata is quite gloomy compared to Tangra (pronounced asTyangra/ট্যাংরা) - the new China Town in terms of food offerings. Tangra has some very good restaurants with good ambience. And Khoka goes there to have Chicken Chowmein and Chili fish (Ref: Dwitiyo Purush).

Jokes apart, Tiretta Bazaar has its own old school charm and they don't burn your pockets at all. Being quite affordable and location near to College street, hence college goers have quite heavy footfall here. Another thing is none of these Tiretta 'eating houses' serve alcohol while Tangra is famous for cheap boozes with good Chinese starters.

China Town of Kolkata - Dragon Boat Festival
![]() |
| Google Doodle of Dragon Boat Festival 2021 |
For the uninitiated, Kolkata has two China Towns - old one in the center of the city at Tiretti Bazar and new one at the boundary of the city at Tangra. And the China Towns in Kolkata are the only ones in India.
This is the Cheenapara (চীনেপাড়া) series on my blog. In this story the topic is Dragon Boat Festival. Interesting thing is Kolkata never celebrated this festival until 2015, though first Chinese Tong Achew stepped his feet in Bengal during 1770's. The main reason is simple - Dragon Boat festival needs water bodies where boats can be raced, and being in the center of city, Tiretti Bazar's Chinese community could not able to organize such festival in the absence of big water bodies. Well our sacred river, the Ganges could be an option but they never think of it.
Dragon Boat festival, also known as Tuen Ng or Duwanu Jie Festival, is a traditional Chinese festival which falls on the fifth day of the fifth month in the Chinese lunar calendar. It is famous in China and other historical China towns across the globe like in San Francisco, London and Singapore. The festival pays homage to poet and hero Qu Yuan with a special dish called 'chong'. Chong is delicious glutinous rice cake stuffed with meat or sweet paste, wrapped in bamboo leaves.

Jio True 5G: Trial Review at Barrackpore
Though India's first spectrum auction for 5G airwaves was conducted in July this year, the telecom service providers - Jio and Airtel did make a hurry to launch 5G, unlike 3G or 4G. 5th generation of telecom services went mainstream in India on October 1st, 2022. That's just 2 months to get 5G live. Well that's fast, and thanks to DoT, all operators got trial spectrum to conduct 5G trials and tests on their 2G/3G/4G networks. Debt ridden telco Vi is yet to announce its 5G debut.
