Adda never ends
Bengalis practically invented the long, wandering conversation known as adda. Bengali Chat is that adda, online: politics, poetry, football, food and films, often all at once. People join from West Bengal, Tripura, Assam, Bangladesh and the diaspora in London, New York and the Gulf.
Type in Bangla script or in Roman letters. Both are common.
Durga Puja, football and fish
Pujo season turns the room into a pandal-hopping guide. Mohun Bagan versus East Bengal is a rivalry that never cools. Rabindra Sangeet, Satyajit Ray films and the right way to cook hilsa all get passionate treatment.
