Is fireworks are officially banned in West Bengal? Or is it allowed in moderation (green fireworks)?
Hi everyone,
I’ve noticed that Bollywood and social media often stereotype women from West Bengal as being more sexually active, and I don't think this portrayal is fair or accurate. Having interacted with people from various regions, I believe such generalizations misrepresent the culture and individuality of the women here.
What are your thoughts on this? How do you feel about the way West Bengal is portrayed in popular media?
I made a map based geography quiz that helps learning the current (!) districts of West Bengal. You have to match the district names withe the regions on the map:

You can switch the learning language to Bengali and Hindi. Have fun 🙂
East Bengal straight 6 defeat create history, they become second team to do it in ISL.
27M from Delhi. I have always romanticized this city and it has only been a 3-4 day annual trip, until I got a job posting here in Kolkata. I am absolutely delighted to be stationed in the most favourite city. However, visiting relatives on summer vacations and being a full time Kolkatan is poles apart. Been 3-4 days, I am finding it a bit lonely here. As of now looking forward to make friends, nice platonic friends to hang out on weekends or watch stuff at Nandan. Hunting for cha er adda buddies :)) I am currently staying in Salt Lake, so if anyone is interested to socialise or has any advice for me, please do comment/ DM. I can be a good friend, and I take pride in being able to stick to my Bangla roots, despite living in Delhi all my life.
