Lakeside. Love in a park in Calcutta. The largest public park in the south of Calcutta allows everyone to catch some fresh air in an otherwise polluted and overcrowded city. Every day, benches are filled with young couples who try and escape the gaze of a society that hardly tolerates display of affection in the public space. In this rare moment of freedom, they discuss life, tell stories, often those of others, funny, dramatic or heroic. They come closer, hold hands, lock eyes and, sometimes, they try the impossible: to kiss.
