The Bengali calendar is a solar calendar, the first month of which is Boishakh. Pohela or poila means first. Therefore, the Bengali year starts on Poila Boishakh.
Shubho Noboborsho greetings to all.
We Bengalis are obsessed with food, particularly fish. I will have some special fish today. I feel for the vegetarians or people who don’t like fish. Anyway, that just means that we get to have more of the good stuff. 🙂
Let’s listen to a Hemanta-da song. As a homeless person, I relate to this song about a river. At one point the song asks, “is it because you have no ties that you are homeless?” Lovely song.
Cheers and have a wonderful day.
