The Mamas and Pichis of Tong..


The Mamas and Picchis are very famous among the TONG PEOPLE

The Mamas and Picchis seem to be an integral part of the “Tong Culture.”

The Picchis are the little assistants of the Mamas and they mostly are very exuberant little people

“Tongs”- the tea stalls that are so near and dear to us is the theme of this blog. Bangladesh at the moment seems to have into a “Tong Culture”… the culture which is absolutely free from any form of discrimination and bigotry. I say this as we more than frequently witness people from all class of the society spending time in a Tong- from a sweaty rickshaw-puller to a New Generation KID in a BMW 7 series…. These small tea stalls that we see all around the streets of Bangladesh are one of the major reflection of the emergent “TONG CULTURE” of Bangladesh. The tong people are always united with no racial barriers. These people share the among each other from petty jokes to important political affairs to their family life tales sipping a cup of tong tea and puffing at a occasional smoke… These tongs are the greatest witnesses of the lives of the people of Bangladesh from every class of the society… So lets share these tales of joy and happiness, of melancholy and sadness, of trust and respect, and of kinship that we feel for each other among ourselves…. SO PEOPLE OF THE TONG CULTURE, TELL THE TALES OF OUR LIFES…………………..
