Bengal and its bengali people

Kolkata the capital of West Bengal (Paschim Bangal) is best known as the "City of Joy". 

Special feature you will normally observe in Bongo bashi (bengali people) : Peace, Celebration and Food.
The first thing with bengalis is there morning tea just after there good sleep and before everything in morning. For sleepers (in my house) the table is bed on which you will find a cup of tea and newspaper while for joggers the local famous tea stall not because its good but because joggers and walkers come together to have their first cup of tea. 
Tea stall must have one bench, bakery biscuits and biscuits for dip (without dip we never enjoy tea fully), tea clay pots which are of different sizes. people call for Rs.2 cup or little big Rs. 3.00. The tea stall never retains its tea stall value at those time because it turns to Adda club with variations of topic for discussions and debate. It's fun to listen to them.
Yesterday morning I had decided to use my jogging shoes finally and set out. Time was 6am (too early for me) streets were looking empty and air was clean with soothing sunshine. while passing through a lane there was a small tea stall and amazingly there were more people than on roads. It looks interesting and more interestingly the topic was euro currency and IMF response on that. Even my dad who read daily newspaper and watch only news channels don't have that much information and views than they have lol
