Kolkata is Bengalis’ city of culture for ages
Centre for education, art and literature
Contributing to India’s rich cultural heritages
With a special blend of delicacy and flavor
Bengalis are gentle and a peace loving race
Of ethnic background with faith and devotion
Believe in rebirth, worship God and Goddess
Obeying in strict holy scriptural instruction
The Bengalis have ‘baro mase thero parbons*’
Religious, social, family based festivals, so good
Uniting soul to soul in such happy occasions
Sharing good will, love-affection, brotherhood
Such holy ‘parbons’ are beneficial and active
In today’s world of lack of love and humanity
Winning over selfishness, enmity and ill motive
Restoring peace and happiness to the society
Bengalis’ favorite dish, rice, milk and fish
A lot of sweetmeats and cards they prefer
Goat- poultry- meat, many also like to eat
With salt, chili, spices and different flavors
• A lot of religious and social functions a year
