Supriya Newar's Kalkatta Chronicles is a first-hand account of her childhood in the Kolkata of yesteryears. It will take you back to the Kolkata of the past when it was known as Kalkatta.

The book has 10 short yet endearing references, a ‘rear view reflection’ of the old Calcutta. In Kalkatta Chronicles, Supriya reminisces about the Kalkatta of the past-- much before the internet or mobile phones came into existence. She writes about the people from her childhood days who played small but crucial roles in her life, some of whom are now disappearing from our modern-day lives-- from the lift operator to the tailors to the book salesman, the book chronicles them all.

The stories will leave the readers with nostalgia about the good old days in the city of joy, which is relatable for anyone who has lived in the city. The simple writing makes it an enjoyable quick read.
