Malda Musings

How many sweets can you eat at a time?

In a marriage (in Malda, WB) I have heard that people eat 20 to 30 each Rasgullas at a time!!! Now that's some record; yes, and a record number diabetes patients as well.

Here in Malda, you get the best quality sweets. Currently I am in Gazole (27km from Malda). Mahanto sweets is the most popular sweet shop, and he makes the best sweets.

Travel by bus frm Gazole to Malda is about one hour - and what crowd. Someone farts and (mind you its strong) you cannot do anything other than bear it.

The behavior of people here is very gentle (could be because of the sweets they eat). So people are very rajasic. During satsang - after a bhajan we normally sit in silence for some time. But here people start chatting among themselves!

Where we stay, the lady of the house once gave us some coconut laddoos - and they were delicious. We praised her for the preparation. She asked "Would you like to have lots more?" We said "yes" - and her reply was "Get half kg sugar from the market and I will make it for you!!!"
