There's an old story. An young woman used to cut the end of a lamb roast before she puts it in the oven. One day her husband asked her, "Honey, why did you cut the end of the lamb roast?" And she goes, "Well I don't know. I do it because that's what my mom used to do. Then his husband said, "Ok then call your mom. I want to know the reason." The woman called her mom and asked the same. But her mom didn't even know the answer. She replied, "I used to do it because that's what your grandmother did." After that they also called the granny. Granny came with the answer, "Well, in our times the oven was not so big as today. So cutting the end was an option to make it fit in the oven."

If the Bengalis have the power to invent such a sweet creation known as the "Rosogulla", imagine the sweetness their language may possess. Even the way the Bongs say I love you is so poetic- ‘Ami tomake bhalobashi’, like a sweet poem.

2 Stories to make you realise something
The King and his 4 wives Once upon a time there was a king and he had four wives. One day the king was sick and was on his deathbed. So he was thinking about how he spent his whole life and was afraid of being alone in the afterlife. So he called upon his 4th wife whom he loved the most. He always brought her gold, silver and ornaments. He asked her, “Would you die with me and go to the afterlife with me?” She replied, “Sorry, I love my life” and walk away. The king was disappointed at this. Then he called his 3rd wife. He was very proud of his 3rd wife and showed her to other kingdoms. He asked her, “Would you accompany me to the afterlife?” She said,” I don’t want to die and I’m gonna remarry after you die” Again the king was disheartened. After that he called his 2nd wife. She was very good and was always beside the king whenever he needed. He also asked her, “Can you please come with me to the afterlife? I don’t want to be alone.” She answered, “ Sorry I can’t come but highest I can arrange your funeral and participate in that.” Suddenly a voice was heard, “ I will join you and follow wherever you go.” It was his first wife whom he cared the least. After hearing that the king said crying, “ Please forgive me. I should have taken more care of you. The ones whom I loved more didn’t wish to accompany me but you did.”
