The dilapidated crumbling colonial architecture is seen all over India and this in Calcutta is particularly disheartening. The new building will never be like the old so the past will be lost to that degree unless new construction remixes elements of the old. But it is good to see reality. And the YMCA lodging seems well kept. Some architecture can be rebuilt if hasn't become to far gone. Thanks for this short Calcutta video tour.
