Fulfilling what one said they would do.
خلفية ثقافية
In Bangladesh, 'kotha rakha' is often discussed in the context of 'Zuban' (one's word/tongue). Breaking a word is seen as a major character flaw. The literary influence of poets like Sunil Gangopadhyay has made 'kotha rakha' a romanticized concept of integrity and tragic disappointment. In traditional 'Arat' (wholesale markets), millions of takas are traded based on 'mukher kotha' (spoken word) without immediate paperwork. Village councils (Panchayats) often settle disputes based on who 'gave their word' in front of witnesses.
Use it as a compliment

Don't use for secrets
Remember, 'keeping a secret' is 'gopon rakha', not just 'kotha rakha'.
