About the Book (In the author’s words)
Tilottama at a glance takes its readers on a journey through the streets, markets, monuments, and bridges of Kolkata. Strolling across the pages one hops on to trams, yellow taxis, and tanga, encouraged to devour mammoth quantities of street food. A plethora of varied festivals from regular ones like Durga Puja and Christmas to quirky ones like Boi Mela and Gaaner Mela is celebrated in words throughout the book. But any travel magazine can also do that.
The author aims to take her readers on a journey through the hearts and minds of the Kolkatans, riding the highs and lows of the emotional roller coaster, that the community life in Kolkata encourages and fosters. Through this book, the author hopes to share a glimpse of the essence of Kolkata, a city she grew up in.
