One assumes that Calcutta is where mishti doi is more popular than marathons and that the only time a Calcuttan is likely to make a lunge is when the luchi is fast disappearing. 

In reality, we Calcuttans are making a heroic effort to join the world of fitness and fight our innate tendency to just roll into bed after a rice-heavy meal. Which is why we’re gearing up for a fitness carnival, The Fit Expo 2016, in association with t2.

“The uniqueness of this event lies in the fact that it perhaps covers the entire gamut of fitness and nutrition, thus creating an opportunity never seen before in this part of the country,” said Gagan Sachdev (right), convener, organising committee, The Fit Expo.
