Howrah

Howrah or Haora (/ˈhrə/) is an industrial city, a municipal corporation in the Howrah district, West Bengal, India. It is the headquarters of the district, and also the headquarters of the Howrah Sadar subdivision of the district. Located on the west bank of the Hoogli River, it is a twin city to Kolkata. Howrah is the second smallest district after Kolkata. The two cities are connected by four bridges on the river Ganges, these being the Howrah Bridge (also known as Rabindra Setu), the Vidyasagar Setu (also known as the second Hooghly Bridge), the Vivekananda Setu (also known as Bally Bridge), the Nivedita Setu (also known as Second Vivekananda Setu) and ferry services between various jetties.

Howrah Station serves as a terminal for two railway zones of India: the Eastern Railway and the South Eastern Railway. There are six other railway stations with the city, including the railway junction at Santragachhi and the terminal at Shalimar Station—all the six are part of the South Eastern Railway network. Dinabandhu Institution, an Institute of National Importance and a premier research institution, is also situated in Shibpur, Howrah. Two national highways—NH 2 and NH 6—are connected to Vidyasagar Setu via Kona Expressway. One endpoint of the Grand Trunk Road is at the Acharya Jagadish Chandra Bose Indian Botanic Garden here, where the Great Banyan tree stands. Bengal Engineering & Science University, over 150 years old, is a prestigious engineering university located in the city.

    A walk in the park

    by: Hurrah!

    I walk by day all around
    Around your door
    And then I'll say
    What's been wrong with you, my love
    It's like I've been so kind that I
    I can show you whatS7s better
    Now for rainy days
    Since I've gone you've been down
    Down on promises of chance
    And better things
    Like a walk in the park
    The one time losing time has come
    For us to spand a while
    Talk and remember
    Sweet days of love and hope and joy
    But now these days have gone
    And al I have
    Are thoughts of what we were
    Like ships that pass on summer nights
    That won't relate
    And now our time slipped away
    Go and find
    What fortune comes your way
