Signification
A common social greeting to ask about daily life.
Contexte culturel
In Kolkata, this question is often the prelude to 'Adda'. Expect a detailed answer about traffic, politics, or a local event. Hospitality is paramount. Asking this is often followed immediately by an offer of food or drink. In modern offices, this is used as a 'soft' opener before discussing business results. The question might be more literal, referring to the day's labor or harvest.
Wait for the answer
In Bengali culture, this isn't just a 'hello'. Be prepared to listen for at least a minute.
