BENGALI PEOPLE HAVE THE SWEETEST BLOOD

Mitali: - Almost every day, I see you standing in front of that Marwari shop and eating the Haryana jalebis from a food stall. Satyi, Arindam daa, roj roj etoh misti kheyo naa, diabetes hoye jaabey jeh…

Arindam: - Na na kichu hobey na.

Bharadwaj: - Nahi boss, you should control your habit of eating sweets every day.

Arindam: - Arrey, the price of jalebis are only 30 bucks per kilo. Every day, I eat jalebis of 5 bucks and that too of kadak style, that means the jalebis are very thin and crispy in size.

Bharadwaj: - sahi mein, tum bangalee log kitna sweets khatey ho yaar.But, still nothing happens to you people.

Mitali: - Hey, Pankaj, just keep your mouth shut. Don’t start criticizing about our Bengali people.

Arindam: - le halua, now I don’t fight for this silly reason.

Bharadwaj: - arrey, yeh toh roj ki baath hain. I am born and brought up in Jaipur. When I say something to her about our Jaipur and the culture of Rajasthan, she starts quarrelling and starts telling me about his Bengal. Really, Bengal is a crazy place. People are always gossiping, eating sweets, samosas and egg rolls. They even fight with each other at Salt Lake Stadium, while watching the football match between Mohun Bagan and East Bengal.

Arindam: - ha ha ha…yeah, that is true. You may not be satisfied in your professional life, but your personal life will always rock, if you are in Bengal, but provided that you have not become a prey of that bloody CPI(M) party members. Ei , Mitali, ebaar naaki, CPI(M) matro ekta seat peyeche; satyi naaki?

Mitali: - haan Arindam daa, CPI (M) er pooro pechon mere suyiye deowa hoechey…2011 tey amar mone hoye TMC power e tey asbey…

Bharadwaj: - Arrey, what are you people speaking in Bengali? I don’t understand anything. Uff, these Bengali girls are always in a quarrelling mood and they are very active in politics also.

Arindam: - But, one thing you must appreciate that Bengali girls are the most caring in nature and they are sweet too. If you ask anyone in India, they will give the first ranking to a Bengali girl and then to a Mallu girl. Whether you agree or not, but the real fact is that, we the Bengali people do not like spicy foods. We love sweets and we have an entirely different type of dishes, which is liked by all. Ghotis, the people of undivided Bengal used to cook foods with less spice. Their favorite dish is still the Chingri Malai Curry. After the partition of Bengal, the people of East Bengal came and settled in Kolkata. They are expert in cooking spicy foods and as a Ghoti, I also like those delicious Bangaal dishes like Hilsha Curry and many others. If I get a good girl of East Bengal, who knows how to cook those lovely dishes, I will marry her. It hardly matters, that I am a Ghoti, he he he…

Mitali:- Satyi, Arindam daa…ebaarey ekta biye koreyi falo…oi tomar Non-Bengali girlfriend takey charo…ota ekta idiot…Marry only a Bengali girl….accha, tobey misti taa kam khaao…ki teley oi jilipi bhajchey…kono thik achey…

Bharadwaj: - uff, you Bengali people have a very bad habit. If you find another person, who is a Bengali, you people just start gossiping in Bengali with such an excitement and joy…really, you people love your mother tongue too much.

Arindam: - Bhai Pankaj; Bengali is the 3^rd sweetest language of the world, after Urdu and French. It is the mother tongue of Rabindranath Tagore and Bankimchandra Chattopadhay. One upon a time, Bankimchandra did not even read a letter from his Bengali friend, because it was written in English. Bengali people always consumes 23% more sweets on a weekly basis than any other non-Bengali people, but still the numbers of diabetic patients are less in Bengal. It is because of the only reason that in our sweets, we use only milk, whereas in the sweets of north-western India, they use lots of pure Ghee. This pure ghee is more deadly than the sugar used in any sweets. Ghee helps in increasing cholesterol and sugar level of your body also. Since childhood, Bengali people are immune to sweets. There are even people who have a bad habit of eating sweets after their dinner. Without eating the sweet, they cannot go to sleep.

Mitali: - taah jaa bolecho Arindam daa…amar jethu toh misti naa kheley ghumoteyi paarey naa…amader barir refrigerator e teh pantuaa aar rasogollah r stock sab samay thake…ami o majhey moddhey du ekta jhepey diyi maairi…jethu kichu bujhtey paarey naa…

Arindam: - tor jhyatu sab ee bujhtey paarey…tokey bhalobashey toh, tai kichu boley naa...anyway Pankaj, I hope that you have understood the basic funda that “BENGALI PEOPLE HAVE THE SWEETEST BLOOD.”
