Golbarir  Kosha Mangsho & My

Lifelong Experiment 

Partha Pratim Majumder

While wishing you a great weekend, I confess that I took the route of self indulgence this eve. I had 1 plate Kosha Mangsho + 2 Parathas this eve. at 8pm - 3rd time in my life and every time after 20 long yrs.

First time at 19 yrs., when I was college student in 1975 . I remember cost for 1 plate + 2 parathas - Rs,22/-

Second time at 39 yrs., when I visited with my senior office colleague Late Jayasurya Das. Cost for 1 plate + 2 parathas - Rs,48/-

Third time at 59 yrs. with salt and pepper colored hair on my head , when I visited alone to check on change, if any

Result - nothing changed - place, space, service and obviously the taste of the " Grrrrrreat

The Food - Kosha Mangsho 

Dish with same quantity and quality of mutton and o.......i.......l....y gravy" .....

I recall the old saying of S. Wajed Ali .... "Sei tradition somane cholechhe....."

Nothing really changed ................ except one - The Price - Rs.201/- for 1 plate + 2 Parathas. Which is terrible in terms of % of increase over the years. Ha.... Ha... Ha...

Although I am strict on my diet and weight ...... but could not resist to check. I know after next 20 yrs. i.e in my 79th year , either I would be in a photo or a vegetable for sure , if I survive............ Ha..... Ha... Ha....
