talked to father about his days in Calcutta..As I listen to Bengali songs, courtesy of my brother and
picturize the place, I realize that father could have made the imagery come alive. Mother occasionally tells us stories of their life in Calcutta...What a life they had led then...

This song is a paean to Calcutta. A 1998 classic written by Veturi and music by Mani Sharma. Sung by Hariharan. The song and also the video capture the textures of Calcutta.
You should listen to it and also play it for Mother when you can.
యమహా నగరి కలకత్తా పురి
నమహో హుగిలీ హౌరా వారధి
చిరు త్యాగరాజు నీ కృతినే పలికెను మరి
My favourite lines are:
నేతాజీ పుట్టిన చోట
గీతాంజలి పూసిన చోట
పాడనా
తెలుగులో............
