Last Year, Dhruv (bengali dude and also my neighbor) invited me for their Bengali New Year's Day party at their home. I had no clue how it is celebrated or whats going to happen at the party. They invited the whole Bengali Association and I was the only non Bengali invited as Dhruv's friend. It was quite amusing anyway. Everyone was speaking in Bengali, which sounded funny. It made me feel I am no more in Texas, but am visiting Bengal. I quite liked the various kind of fishes that were included in the menu. The spices used were quite different, even the oil was mustard oil I guess. We are not into mustard oil at all. But I liked the flavor. I had proper Bengali cuisine for the first time and enjoyed it. I don't have a sweet tooth , so didn't try the famous Bengali sweets at all. This year, Dhruv told me that Bengali new Year is on April 15. I hope they arrange the party again and invite me too. Here's wishing a very Happy Bengali New years Day with these Bengali New Years Day cards. Check out the cool Bengali new year scraps:
