Growing up as a Bengali kid, you are made to believe the stupidest things!!!
And, the worst part is, you don't even realise that, at a time, most of your age had really "grown up"!!!
For Bengali parents, their children getting a cough and cold is more serious than contracting AIDS!!!
Secondly, as a Bengali kid, you are made to realise, art is something, you are born with!!! No wonder, every Tom-Dick-and-Harry starts pulling guitar strings, trying singing with the voice of a toad, and writing the ultimate shits of poetry!!!
At school, you fight for half-a-mark, for your parents are overtly concerned with every "chawanni" and "athanni"!!!
Saraswati Puja is officially the unofficial Bengal Valentine's Day!!!
But, why would someone go out for a date, on a day, he's likely to encounter at least half-a-dozen unwelcome guests, and their weirdly wild grins, on the way!!!
Moreover, you were never a Bengali kid, if, at least half-a-thousand times, you haven't been called out by an ancient, distant relative's name!!!
MONKEY!!!
