durdanto khobor sapphire, strange but in the 7 months I arrived here, I haven't met one! No I'm not looking for them inside a wet-market in Chinatown, but I would say I meet a lot of desis but not bangali in particular. If there is a online group or a 'adda' haunt somewhere, would really appreciate any inputs!

Aita to onek purono thread! Anil Saha, Durgo pujo te dekha hobe? Typing Bengali in English is damn tough!

Last year we attended for like five minutes just to offer Pushpanjali. There were so many Bongs, and yes all in queue for the food. As much as I would have liked to stay for that, just looking at the long line was enough to deter me.
