Kolkata

Kolkata (Bengali: কলকাতা / কোলকাতা) /klˈkɑːtɑː/, formerly Calcutta /kælˈkʌtə/, is the capital of the Indian state of West Bengal. Located on the east bank of the Hooghly river, it is the principal commercial, cultural, and educational centre of East India, while the Port of Kolkata is India's oldest operating port and its sole major riverine port. As of 2011, the city had 4.5 million residents; the urban agglomeration, which comprises the city and its suburbs, was home to approximately 14.1 million, making it the third-most populous metropolitan area in India. As of 2008, its gross domestic product (adjusted for purchasing power parity) was estimated to be US$104 billion, which would be third highest among Indian cities, behind Mumbai and Delhi. As a growing metropolitan city in a developing country, Kolkata confronts substantial urban pollution, traffic congestion, poverty, overpopulation, and other logistic and socioeconomic problems.

Calcutta auction

A Calcutta auction is an open auction held in conjunction with a golf tournament,horse race or similar contest with multiple entrants. It is popular in backgammon, the Melbourne Cup, and college basketball pools during March Madness (originally in Calcutta, India, from where this technique was first recorded by the Colonial British) bid among themselves to "buy" each of the contestants, with each contestant being assigned to the highest bidder. The contestant will then pay out to the owner a predetermined proportion of the pool depending on how it performs in the tournament. While variations in payoff schedules exist, in an NCAA Basketball tournament (64 teams, single elimination) the payoffs could be: 1 win - 0.25%, 2 wins - 2%, 3 wins - 4%, 4 wins - 8%, 5 wins - 16%, tournament winner with 6 wins - 32%.

The precise rules of a Calcutta can vary from place to place; many tournament organizers employ software programs that apply odds and determine win-place-show amounts. Perhaps the simplest and most common Calcutta payout is 70 percent of the pool to the "owner" of the winning tournament team, 30 percent to the "owner" of the second-place tournament team.

    Get Away

    by: Calcutta

    Verse 1: I guess it's time to settle all the things. The pain it brings. In my life. They say the love can be the protocol. I can end it all. In my life.
    Refrain: How many times do I have to explain myself without you in my life? How many times do I have to say...
    Chorus: Get Away! I can't control my feelings. Feelings so strong that you'll never know. Give it up! The game you play is over. You burned out so hard you lost control.
    Verse 2: Try to stop when you carelessly, present to me, a fistful of lies. It doesn't matter what you even say. Well, those games you play, well ,some might say.
    (Refrain and Chorus)
    (Solo)
    Refrain: How many times do I have to explain myself without you in my life? How many times do I have to say....
    Bridge: Get Away from me. Get Away from me. Get Away from me. Get Away from me.(Get Away from me.) I guess it's time to settle (Get Away from me.) all the things, (Get Away from me.) the pain it brings. SO TELL ME OFF!!! (Drum Solo)
    (Chorus)
