Traditional Cake Mixing Ceremony @The Sonnet, Kolkata

Last 3 months of every year I love the most. I'm Bengali by birth so "Durga Pujo is our biggest festival", I think almost the World knows this. Diwali comes just after Durga Pujo, and followed by Jagadhatri Pujo. Then it's time for Christmas & New Year. Bengalis celebrate every festival, even it is Eid or Christmas with the same spirit of they celebrate Durga Pujo. And as Christmas comes at the end of the year, it always brings sorrow with it, to give farewell to another year.

Hilsa, only the name is enough for this fish, no need of introduction. Bengali and Hilsa are made for each other. We Bong can celebrate Hilsa fastival as like our other Bengali festivals. I think only Bengalis can celebrate a food festival. Bongs are crazy about this fish, and the fish also do justice with the craziness. This is the most tasty & flavorful fish in the World. This fish can only available in Monsoon, in Ganga & Padma rivers. And this fish grows fast in the drizzle rain only. Hilsa is a fish with lots of bones, so you have to very carefull while eating. It tastes best when the fish doesn't produce eggs. While it starts producing eggs, all the tastes come to the eggs, and the fish becomes less tasty.
