Under the vibrant hues of the Kolkata sunset, the city’s pulse reverberated through its streets and parks, pulsating with an invigorating energy. Amidst this lively atmosphere, a couple strolled through the evening streets hand in hand. Their steps synchronized with the rhythm of the city.

Nearby, a group of elderly friends gathered in quiet conversation. Their hushed tones betrayed the seriousness of their discussion. They spoke of the whispered rumours circulating through the city – tales of a shadowy figure haunting the streets, a silent predator lurking in the darkness.

With a sly smile concealed behind her facade of innocence, the woman in the couple leaned to the man. With words laced with clandestine mischief, she asked, “Can you ever truly know what secrets these streets hold? Who knows what dangers lurk in the shadows, or what mysteries await us just around the corner? Will you ever know who slipped that knife into your bag?”

Her question lingered in the air like a provocative challenge to the city’s façade of safety and certainty. As the evening unfolded, the streets continued to whisper their secrets, weaving a mosaic of mystery and menace.
