Howrah Bridge..

...christened anew Rabindra Setu is a cantilever and suspension bridge spanning a distributary of Ganges, Hooghly. It connects town and Railway station of Howrah with Calcutta, now renamed Kolkata. Construction of the bridge began in 1936 and completed in 1942 under the British rule of India, Raj. It was built without nuts and bolts but with rivets only. It is a pride and joy for me, an ex-Calcutta-ite... I still know the city as Calcutta, once my home, and perhaps always will know it as such.
