There’s something Fishy about a Bong who doesn’t love Fish…

Bongs can be segregated into 3 categories with respect to their relationship to fish.

1. Secure marital relationship…love for each other happily announced to the world:

These Bongs eat fish every day and flaunt the fish recipes to the rest of the world.

If someone ever puts a question mark over the delectability of fish he/she would be invited over and treated to several dishes prepared to perfection until the person succumbs to the subtle appeal of fish.

Relationship quote: “I love you dear…you love me too…and if anyone ever dares to criticize you I’ll punch the person to death.”

2. Secret affair…all consuming love but scared of admitting in front of the world:

These Bongs suffer from some sort of identity crisis and try to conceal the innate Bongness by flaunting their aversion to fish. But when no one is watching they would sauté fish to perfection, subject himself/herself to sheer gluttony and take a satiated sigh of relief.

Relationship quote: “I love you dear but the world makes cruel jokes about our relationship…so let’s just pretend that we are not into each other.”

3. Sedate taken for granted relationship…deeply in love without even knowing

These Bongs are used to having fish for lunch and dinner every day. Ask them whether they love it and you would get a prompt “not really” as reply. It’s when they move out of home that they realize that they had always loved fish. [because unlike chicken cooking fish mandates a considerable amount of skill and this skill is a closely guarded secret kept by Bong mothers] Some love bhetki and pompfret…some love prawns [yeah prawns, shrimps, lobsters…all are fishes to Bongs J]…some love pabda and parshe…but they do love some fish! They just needed to be apart for some time to realize their love for fish.

Relationship quote: “I don’t love you…you and I are just friends…like life and air…like flower and fragrance…like music and rhythm…”

PS: Since we have also discussed relationships in the sub plot one tip to the non Bongs dating Bongs…instead of saying the mispronounced “Ami tomake…” line say it in your own language  [though it sounds incredibly sweet when you say "tumake" instead of "tomake"] …the recipient would love the exotic appeal. Winks!
