Stating that the allowed period has ended.
सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
In Kolkata, 'Somoy Shesh' is often heard in the context of the 'Madhyamik' exams, a massive cultural event where the whole city feels the pressure of the clock. In Dhaka's corporate culture, 'Somoy Shesh' is increasingly used to push for productivity, reflecting a shift away from traditional relaxed attitudes toward time. In villages, 'Bela Shesh' (the end of the day-part) is more common than 'Somoy Shesh', as life is governed more by the sun than the clock. Poets like Jibanananda Das use the concept of 'time ending' to evoke a sense of melancholy and the fleeting nature of beauty.

Avoid 'Khatam'
While Hindi speakers use 'Khatam', in Bengali it can sound a bit harsh or non-native. Stick to 'Shesh'.
