Hectic outstation trips, and then returning to the hotel in the evening! Sounds similar I guess (especially to those who opt for the trips often) but believe me those trips are not that bad.

My relation with Parsi community is actually limited to the…
Niramish Mangsho or Bhoger Mangsho & Reminiscence of Kalipujo at Maluti, a tribal village
With this post, I have coming up with a unique mutton recipe with no added onion and garlic, Niramish Mangsho. Niramish Mangsho, an oxymoron? Mangsho cannot be niramish right? For sure, if you are a Bengali or you know Bengali language, the term Niramish Mangsho is nothing but an oxymoron. After all, we call Enchor…
Mangsher Ghughni | Yellow Pea Curry with Minced Mutton
I was kind of relaxed when I was clicking the pictures for this post and I calculated even that it is going to take very little time to conceptualize it but here I am; totally confused!
