Bengalis are known for their food delicacies, their intellects have always made the country proud. Strong participants during the struggle and revolution before independence were the people of Bengal. To bring change and fight against the Swati, widow remarriage was started by the Bengalis. Over time the achievements are not only appreciated but they still dwell in nostalgia.

Bengalis are also famous as the most talkative and lazy community. Maybe after the French, they rank among the foodie and comfort-loving lifestyles. If not seeking a luxurious and comfortable cozy house but a soft bed is enough for an afternoon nap. Apart from several flaws, Bengalis are knowledgable and intelligent people with different memories related to each generation. Bengalis feel proud at the same time cherish each moment of success, hard work, and sacrifice but dwell in nostalgia as a culture.

Pride Bengalis dwell in the nostalgia of Tagore and Ray

One of the ever-known poets is Rabindranath Tagore. His dedication during the freedom fight were an inspiration and strength for the fighters. It is the reason he is known as the Bard of Bengal, even after several decades his birth anniversary is celebrated in each street of Bengal. The first Nobel Prize winner in the Bengal community that the community still celebrates with pride every year. Satyajit Ray and his movies are ever after Evocative.

Long chats and gossip over a cup of tea

No day gets away without the “rock adda”. It is a culture that is in the blood, early morning tea at the nearest tea stall or an afternoon the Adda can start anytime and at any corner of the street. Apart from the regular tea stall Adda, Kolkata’s Coffee house is an iconic place in Kolkata. Over decades this place has been an energizer for the Adda and their people.

Freedom fighters

Bengali renaissance has influenced the culture and community. Even after years of Independence, they are remembered as history. Different ways implemented intellectual revolution made them the leaders. To fight against the British India company Bengal was the pioneer. The social reformers apart from Tagore were Raja Ram Mohan Roy and Physicist Satyendra Nath Bose.

Bengalis still are divided into East Bengal and West Bengal

Although the countries Bangladesh and India has been separated a long time ago. But even after years, Bengalis are obsessed over football matches when between East Bengal and Mohan Bagan. Football is not only a sport but also the deep hidden history of culture and country sentiments. Bangal and Ghoti, Bangladesh, and West Bengal are separated.

The Bengali dwells in nostalgia but with literature

There are famous poets in Bengal, they are Sarat Chandra, Bankim Chandra, Michael Madhusudan Dutta, and Kazi Nazrul Islam. They have made the West Bengal and the people live with literature. It does not matter, If whether a businessman or engineer literature is their need for wisdom and knowledge.

Intellectual Bengalis may travel to any part of the world. But once they introduce themselves they are believed and recognized to be from the “Land of freedom fighters and Tagore”.

Stupid games – In the chamber of our hearts, we have meticulously preserved the memories of childhood.

Why not? Those were the golden days of our lives where small things made big differences for us. Our days wallowed around insipid things and we miss those things real bad now. Not necessarily, the ways we enjoyed in those days should be similar but there are some famously stupid games that, you can’t dare deny, you too have played in your childhood.

The lonesome winter-sun-soaked rooftops still stand souvenir to our frolics and gambols and here are some games that we all played in our childhood:

Stupid games that we played in our childhood –

1 – Ringa-Ringa Roses:

We collected few friends and joined hands to form a circle and danced round and round, round and round with the ringa ringa roses song for company. In this age of uninnocence, those memories plant a smile in our faces instantly.

2 – Pretend Play:

As Sigmund Freud said, it is a general psychology among kids to pretend as adults in the own small world and imitate what adults around them do. So, we pretended to be our parents and thrived around our own imaginary household.

3 – Chinese Whisper:

We sat in a row and the first person from the left or right whispered something in the person’s ear sitting next to them and the cycle went on. The last person had to shout what he heard from his previous person and trust me that was nothing close to what the first person had said, it got misinterpreted with a whole new meaning.

4 – Colour Man:

One person had to turn his back on others and shout the name of a colour he chose, the other people had to run and touch the first thing they saw in that colour and on failing the colourman caught him and he had to play the colourman in the next leg of the game.

5 – Passing the parcel:

We sat in a circle and a put the music on while we passed something, say a box or a handkerchief in the next person’s lap and the cycle went on. The music would be stopped abruptly by the referee of the game and the person on whose lap the handkerchief/box would be found at that moment will have perform a dare.

6 – Musical Chair:

The chair count was same as the count of participants, just one chair less. There was a referee who took care of the music and while we circled round and round the chair, he stopped the music abruptly and we had to grab our chairs at once. The single person, who was left, was out.

7 – Hide and seek:

Well, who doesn’t know about hide and seek. It’s a common game we all played in our childhood.

8 – Catch me if you can:

A person was put in blindfold and left to catch the participants who ran around escaping his reach and dropping hints about their probable position by shouting. Now if the person in blindfolds was able to catch a participant, he will have to be the one who wears blindfolds.

9 – Ludo:

When it poured cats and dogs in the outside and we were deterred from going outside, we chose Ludo instead. There was snake and ladder too to add to the fun.

Oops! Did I make you way too nostalgic?

Today, we have so many television channels and so less patience that we cannot sit still and watch an advertisement even for a few seconds.

But there were days when people had no option of changing the channel and were forced to watch each and every advertisement that popped on the channel. Did we regret those days? No! Not at all! In fact, we miss those days, and we miss those classy commercials.

Unfortunately, we can’t go back to those days, but fortunately, we can go back to those ads. Thanks to YouTube!

Let’s have a look at the Ads That Will Make You Feel Nostalgic

• The Jalebi Ad

AWWWWW is not a latest trend; this Jalebi ad started it. I wonder if the brand must be thanking its agency for this ad, or cursing for it. Why? Because who remembers the brand? Remember they were not endorsing jalebis, but the brand Dhara.
