India has something to offer everyone, with a magnificent history and a spectacular culture that is always evolving. There are always multiple Indias that exist simultaneously in one place and at one time, and even in the space of one block, there are many realities that somehow seem to exists side by side. Kolkata is one of the major city centers here, and for many people it has become the place to experience some of the real India. There is a spectacular array of humanity here, and people watching is one of the most rewarding activities. There is also a great culture for luxury here, looking to experience the finest things in one of the world’s oldest cities, and for this, there are magnificent five-star Kolkata hotels.
It is a singularly pleasurable experience to begin the day in gorgeous surroundings, and here you also have the magnetic energy of Kolkata right outside the door. You can take the opportunity to enjoy all the amenities of the hotel and pamper yourself for days on end, and there is also a fabulous energy in the city proper, where many fascinating adventures wait for you. There are some fascinating new things going on in the art world here, as in the rest of the world, and digital work is becoming more of a presence in curated shows these days. That’s because there are some fantastic artistic minds doing work that’s crossing into the digital, because it has been revealing itself as an extremely useful tool for artists.
The crossover of disciplines is also something that’s considered a new trend, when actually it’s something that always existed, but in different terminologies. One local designer crossing back and forth into the visual arts realm is Mriganka Madhukailya. He’s on the faculty of the Department of Design at the Indian Institute of Technology in Guwahati, and has done work in Kolkata that has the makings of the beginning of a new rock star academic. His work in film and video is technically extremely proficient, and the expanse of his projects seems to suggest some very interesting connections between work, life, and the world at large. He worked with Sonai Jain on About body, borders, and other things and applied new technologies to new ways of conceiving the adverse affects of cultural inscriptions, suggesting sites of resistance.
