Answers
Explanation:
Are you now really tired of guessing who I am? I am Howrah Bridge, that very cantilever bridge with a suspended span over the Hooghly River in West Bengal, India. Yes, your guess is again on the very right track, I indeed am that historic bridge renamed Rabindra Setu on 14th of June, 1965 posing a glorious part of Rabindranath Tagore’s Asian Nobel Laureate being the first Indian accomplishing this distinction. Again I am that familiar a bridge to all of you for making your journey to your beloved ones or to a place of official commitment smoother, safer and snug. I have already spent 72 years of my life with a continuous afford of providing all of you more privilege but hardly I had become a topic of consideration to any of you. So today I am kind of determined to venture myself as a topic of you for your next journey with your friends.
I am one of two bridges of the Hooghly River and a famous symbol of Kolkata as well as West Bengal. I easily hold the crown of being the busiest cantilever bridge in the world carrying a daily traffic of approximately 100000 vehicles and possibly more than 150000 pedestrians. Not only this but also the record of being the third longest cantilever bridge at the time of my construction is being carried eminently after my name.
I had been constructed with a very advanced technology of that time named “suspension type balanced cantilever”. I can still remember that my construction was being directed by three engineer uncles named Rendell, Palmer, and Tritton. Those days though may sound very nostalgic, was inhumane painful to me when 26500 tons of still supplied mostly by Tata Still were being posted and melted on me by the technique of riveting the still and this process continued for almost 6years to drag it to completion. Though rest of the world thinks that the decision of constructing my body without any bolts and nuts was to set up a world-class example of architecture in the midst of the eastern world, I personally think that it was mostly to bring my pain to minimization. What’s your opinion, my secret sharer? But to my surprise, all of my pain almost instantly vanished when I had been opened for the first time for the public to provide my friends a reliable support to launch them to their destination quicker.
Now a day you often make your way to multiplex with your friends to spend a quality time with actors and actresses of your choice. Now, would you really mind if I call myself an actress of Indian Film Industry too? Wait wait; let me explain first before starting to curse on me. I have been shown in numerous films such as Bimal Roy’s “Do Bigha Zamin’(1953), Ritwik Ghatak’s “Bari Theke Palia”(1958), Satyajit Roy’s “Parash Pathar” in the same year, Mranal Sen’s 1972 National Award winning Bengali film “Calcutta 71”, Sen’s trilogy its sequel in 1973 and so on.
