Shakespeare Sarani

Kolkatta is full of interesting Streets names..

U can find streets named on famous Bengali personalities from past, one of the few cities in India where u can get to know names of many communist personalities, and ofcourse many English Names along with their changed names to satisfy politicians..

One of the name that I found intersting was Shakespeare Sarani.. What amused me was lyrical name, and uniqueness. U generally encounter xyz marg or xyz road in India. But "Sarani" is unique and quite popular in Kolkatta. The other interesting piece is that name of street based on writers name is testimony of Bengal's rich heritage of Art and Literature.
