Living with a Bong from Delhi

Did we bongs ever realise that shorsher tele machh bhaja smells really bad ? Or, we Bongs (only the ones from W.B.) are a lazy lot and waste(!) a lot of time discussing politics and playing carroms ? Well, maybe we have; the lingering doubt at the back of our minds regarding our self-proclaimed brilliance in intellectual matters and inaction often get obfuscated by our wishful thinking. Now, how would you like to be reminded of it day in and day out (ok, maybe not in and out, but sometimes) - no !
But, I have to. Now why is that ? I have a Bong from Delhi as my roommie (now, he is a jolly good fella, make no mistake about that) who feels the above stuff and many more and utters these only after after having a few shots of White Russian (like 'the Dude ')!

Of course he is right! Is he not ? But he is a Bengali too or according to him a Delhi-ite who speaks Bengali - I correct that broken Bengali (ha!ha!). Of course, he does not have any vendetta against us. But why does he feel this way ? What do you think ? Are we really like that ! Maybe we are.....maybe too lazy to think about petty matters like this.
