Previously this was known as The Hon'ble Company's Botanic Garden, Calcutta in 1860 this was changed as royal botanical garden and later this was changed as Indian botanical garden after independence. The main reason to built this garden was research on some commercial plants and trees in south east Asia.

Kharagpurmylove: A village life

My office in Concrete jungle in sector 5 kolkata

I am working in IT Company and dealing with different website whole day. The nine to six work schedule and after that traffic jam in Kolkata some time disappointed. I am from a small town kharagpur and I love less traffic human behaviour of my town people their helping nature etc. Every weekend I return back to my home to recharge myself or to avoid this city life. Best time was train journey, I prefer local train compare to express or superfast. The main reason was I prefer to watch the beautiful paddy fields, marigold fields side by side the railway track ,which is not possible in express train journey .I was also watching the people of small town or villages were so relaxed they were not in hurry mood they were doing their job for earning livelihood but they were not spent time with their gadgets like in Kolkata.

From a long time I was not able to go any village but this time I was fully ascertain to go near about village from kharagpur. My maternal uncle house is in Jhargram and this small town was really beautiful .The Sal tree on side by side of road give a cinematic view. I was not going to Jhargram from last couple of years. Some time ago this was the main Maoist belt but now people again return to mainstream.

This red soil land lalgarh is close to Jhargram town. I was going to gopiballavpur and bandhgora village which is only 5 kilometres far from Jhargram.

I was sharing some pictures of this beautiful village in my post. Kolkata is known as city of joy and I love it but when comparison stands for my home town and Kolkata I prefer my home town.

In Saturday early morning I got up and took taxi to reach howrah at 4.20 a.m. and reach there within 20 minutes. Then I catch the midnapur local at 4.55 a.m.  On that time howrah station was not so much crowed I was getting window sit and watching all the natural beauties in my train journey I was already sharing that in my last post:
