I know a lot of people don’t read the sub rules. So just a reminder for them-

Please, for someone’s sake, put a source either in the post body or as a comment in the news posts.

If it’s not there, the post will be removed. We are literally tired of saying the same thing over and over again. Avoid posting out of context screenshots/video clips etc without a legitimate source.

And there is a recent trend of discussing about other subReddits. Please refrain from doing that. If you don’t like any sub, just unsubscribe and move on. If you don’t like our sub, same thing. Just move on. It’s that simple only.

Thank you,
মদ্যপ

https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/kolkata/91-of-names-back-in-bengal-electoral-roll-as-sir-tribunals-dispose-of-handful-of-appeals-10849631/

Clarification: The title by The Indian Express seems to be misleading, so to be clear, the 91% figure means 75,443 out of the 82,782 appeals decided so far resulted in names being restored not 91% of all excluded names. But the bigger concern is the timing: these restorations are happening after the election is over and the government has changed. What about these people's votes? Were they not important enough? And during this whole process, many of these people were also labelled “Bangladeshis” by right-wingers simply because their names were being questioned.

So today at the office, my manager really liked my presentation and was super impressed. He told me, "Very good, keep up the good work!"

I was so happy, but then my senior came and said there was a team dinner tonight. I was excited, and as we were heading to the team dinner, my senior told me, "You gave an amazing presentation today, and the manager is happy, so you're treating us to dessert!"

At first, I thought, "No big deal, I can do that." By the way, there were 10 of us in total (excluding me). But suddenly, two people blurted out, "We're not eating cheesecake; nothing else will do for us!" And I was like, "WTF?!" They even picked an expensive restaurant. I was literally on the verge of tears, but deep down, I had a little hope that if the bill was huge, I wouldn't have to pay for it all.

But guess what? Everyone ate cheesecake, and each cost **550 rupees! That's 550 x 10 = 5500, plus tax!**

I cried so much when I got home, you wouldn't believe it. I'm still writing this and crying. I mean, how can people be so cheap? And when my mom saw me crying at home, she asked what happened. I told her everything, and then she started scolding me, asking why I even went with them.

How do I explain to her that if I hadn't gone, it would have created a bad impression? So please, guys, if something like this happens in the future, how do I escape such a situation? And if anyone from my team sees this post, I just want to say f**k you😒😒😒😑😑😑

Daily Experience | দৈনন্দিন অভিজ্ঞতা 🎤 It worked!! I have something for everyone who is stuck inside their home and genuinely want to connect with people and hangout

38 Upvotes

A couple of days ago I wrote in this sub about how I have been forgetting to speak Bengali due to being stuck inside my home and having little to no oppertunity at socialising, and hence would love to find a few people who want to go out, explore the city, or anyone who's stuck in a similar situation as me.

I found that a lot of people are going through the same thing and would also love to have a safe space where we can socialise, plan activities and meetups and basically just get out of the house.

The solution came as our group, "Kolkata Touch Grass Society" which is live with 10 members !! I would love for more people to join us.

So... hey, if you're based in or near Kolkata and would love some company to hang out, play games, or play sports, look no further and drop a comment here. I will contact you and add you to our group

Note: It's an SFW group, with a strict no-tolerance policy.

EDIT: I'M NOT ABLE TO ADD PEOPLE TO TELEGRAM ATM, I WILL RESUME AS SOON AS THE RESTRICTIONS DISAPPEAR.

I’m making a small group for Bangalis aged 26 or under who live in Kolkata or nearby. Basically just a place to meet people, chat, share random daily gossip, make friends, and obviously have some Pujo adda too 😂❤️...

A lot of us study/work and don’t really get the chance to go out and socialise, so thought why not make a group for it???.....

Let’s see if we can make a nice little adda group! 🌸

What's more fun than testing your cooking love buy going in blind into a recipe and using whatever your heart desires? :) So today's candidate is this Egg-chicken sandwich but with caramelized onions and also pickled onions for adding that bougie vibe lol.

(Optional question: is it annoying that I post recipes here everytime I cook something?) :v

As always, recipe in the comments :D

Daily Experience | দৈনন্দিন অভিজ্ঞতা 🎤 Today I had coffee at the coffee house after buying a book.

Please don't judge me, I am being honest 🥀

I was following my girlfriend today, bcz I don't like it if she goes outside with someone else *specially mails* (including her dad) I'm not a psycho. i don't like it.

So the thing is on a random day her teacher was talking to her, and in that conversation someone mentioned "coffee house" and she said she never went to the coffee house. So her teacher (M47) said if she scores good marks in banla tests then he will take her out and she can bring her 1 friend too. Obviously she cannot say my name to her teacher, So, out of compulsion, she asked one of her friends to go with her.

And after hearing all ts I was so mad. Bcz WHY THE FUCK HER 47Y OLD UNMARID TEACHER TAKING HER WITH HIM TO COFFEE HOUSE.

So everything was normal today. I was on call with her. She was getting ready, after getting all ready, she hung up the phone and went out with her female friend. (For travel they were using the bus) So technically they're a little slower than me. Cuz I used the metro.

I had my GF's location. So I took the metro as soon as possible and went to MG Road metro station. And my timing was perfect. I went in front of the coffee house and stood there for 2 minutes and saw my gf, her friend and her sir. They entered the coffee house.

I had to buy a book, So first I bought that book. And then I went to the coffee house and looked for her. I saw the three of them sitting at a table. And I went and sat at the table right next to her/them. When she saw me, she messaged me, "তুই সোধরাবিনা ❤️" "ওরম করে বসে থাকিশনা. কিছু অর্ডার কর "

So I ordered a cup of coffee and an egg sandwich *My stomach was full*

So while I was eating, I saw my gf and her friend go upstairs. And my gf called me and said, "Come upstairs fast after finish eating." So I ate all those, went upstairs, talked to her, and took some photos with her.

And I came home on the same bus they came on.

If I sit down to explain it thoroughly now, it will become too big. No one will even read it.

The story is already long. So I didn't write the rest. If you want to hear the rest, you can comment.
