Kolkata Streets at Night - Candid Street Pictures from North Kolkata (India)
North Kolkata has these tiny lanes, hardly about 10 to 12 feet wide, criss crossing the area like a complicated nervous system. These serpentine lanes have existed ever since Calcutta was born in 1700 AD. And as time moved on, more people moved in, new buildings were built over & around the old ones but the roads & lanes did not change.

The activities in these lanes continue busily through out the day. These lanes serve many purposes - first as roads, then as places for people to meet & exchange small talks & then as play grounds for kids. There are also small street side shops that help hungry pedestrians with snacks or a mere cup of tea.

The picture was taken on hand held Nikon D200 with a wide angle lens in available fluorescent light without any flash light. The cropping & minor color temperature correction was done using Adobe Photoshop.
