city of joy

The most important lesson that man can learn from his life is not that there is pain in this world, but that it depends upon him to turn it into good account, that it is possible for him to transmute it into joy... Man's freedom is never in being saved troubles, but it is the freedom to take trouble for his own good, to make the trouble an element in his joy... that in pain is symbolised the infinite possibility of perfection, the eternal unfolding of joy
Rabdindranath Tagore

But perhaps it is because of this inherent sadness that Kolkata has attracted people, or seemed to burn brighter with a humanity that you wouldn’t find in many places. It is the city in the City of Joy.
