New Delhi, April 15 (IANS) Bengali cinema's National Award winning actress Indrani Halder is going seriously mainstream with Sony TV's new soap 'Sujata' but doesn't want anything to do with commercial films.
Gujaratis are famous for a sweet tooth, and though I grew up in a house that had racks of jars loaded with homemade sweets, I had an extra affinity for Bengali sweets like Rasgulla, Rasmalai and Sandesh, just because they have a juicy and rich texture made of ricotta cheese and khoya, and combined with "ras", made with either sugar syrup or milk, these delicious indian sweets never fail to impress! "Rasogullas", as they are called in West bengal, are favorites with not just the locals, people around the country love them. They have a fake reputation of being hard to make at home. But I'd seen my mom make these when I was young, so it gave me enough strength to try making them myself. After some hesitation, a bit of aprehension, and a mindset to not feel bad if they didn't turn out well, I
Ok, once we had our delicious dinner with Luchis and Alur Dom, I was prepared for another dose of Bengali feast. From all the recipes that I finally collected and decided that I could do, I selected those that were comfortably within out domain. Yeah we got to experiment, but then when its the dinner for the entire family involved, we can't take chances of it not being liked.And I must say, the bongs have so much liking to Posto, that its surprising!We, of course use the poppy seeds mostly for our non-veg items, so imagine that gets itself into veggie! Well since I don't' eat meat, poppy seeds are not very close to my taste buds, that is, being quite sometime. So digging into something with loads of that was an attack on the senses.Having decided that its going to have all those poran, wen
Ok, I have been scouring web sites like mad to get the perfect bangali recipes that I will be able to make and at the same time, my folks will eat. Athamma is game for anything, but hubby dear on the other hand, will not touch anything that's sweet. So having all these in mind, I asked the google God, show me bengali recipes!. Well google being google, brought me many sites, of course, most of the top listed ones, I already have bookmarked because of RCI. But still it was interested to check them out again. After going through few, I decided I will opt for the common vegetable, as it might be easy to get family eat them.I squared on Alur Dom, this sounded very much like my own Dum Aloo, but with certain variations. Clicking few random links, I found myself, where you know? At our host's pl

Director Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury is looking to release an Hindi version of his debut Bengali film “Anuranan” this Friday. Roy told IANS that“Although ‘Anuranan’ is a culture-specific film, the theme is universal. And why should anyone have any objection to a Bengali film getting a national market? I think the only other Bengali film to have made this transition is Rituparno Ghosh’s ‘Chokher Bali’,” . Rahul Bose and Rituparna Sengupta play a couple that moves back to Kolkata after living in London for a few years. Here they meet Rajat Kapoor and Raima Sen and they become friends. It is the lives of these four friends that create a resonance, a chord that echoes through their present and future. “Yes it was,” admits the director. “But the theatrical and DVD relea
A man was brought in to the hospital intensive care ward, put in a bed, tubes coming out everywhere. A week later, another man was admitted, in a similar condition. Both lay there, machines pinging, tubes poking etc. a couple more weeks before one of them had the strength to raise his hand and point to himself and say, "Bengali." The other patient signaled he had heard, raised his own hand, and said, "Punjabi." This act tired them out so badly it was a week before the first summoned up the strength to say, "Calcutta." Other replied in a weedy frail voice, "Ludhiana." Once more, the strain was too much for them both and they passed out. Days passed before the first patient managed to again point to himself and say, "Asit." Replied the other, "Santa." A few hours later, Asit managed to point

Ever since the Bengal Renaissance that had passed over Bengal in the 19th century, Bengal has remained in special focus of the orientalists and cultural historians for its rich cultural heritage. This heritage gets best reflected in the festive occasions, which may be called the ways by which the people live. So, the term ‘culture’, in the anthropological sense, meaning ways of life, is perhaps nowhere clearer than in Bengali life. Again, as Clifford Geertz observes, a particular culture feeds on rituals, festive occasions and other activities as symbolic overtures to the belief-systems and ethos, which the people must conform to. It may be said that the conformities in their totality are festivals. A very cursory look can find that the occasions are ornamented with regional crafts an
