Packaging of PRAN is also bad, their litchi and orange juices come in silly looking cheap plastic bottles.
btw Otobi has opened a shop here in Mani Square mall at Kolkata.
They have one in Baguihati too!
When they were opening up in India...there pitch was similar to an European sounding one.
That would stick till the moment people buy and use ...just to realize...its mostly cheap plywood:partay:

Even I thought that Otobi is some European company. :D

Nothing beats the traditional CP teak furniture, these have almost unlimited life, just polish them and they are new again.

Cost of Living Index

Kolkata is at the bottom:yahoo:

Maach kinte gele Dhaka r "expensiveness" bojha jae!
If you don't have a car...commuting will murder you in broad daylight
Fruits are 3X costlier than Kolkata
Every other packaged stuff is mostly imported...so it evidently costs a bomb (except past and Tabasco sauce:mamba:)

To top it off...(Heights of contrariness)Natural gas is virtually free (domestic at Tk 450 per connection) with no Gas Meter:lock::crazy:
 
I need a blockbuster thread. I already have some hit threads but this one is having potential to be BB.:yay:

Okay, I will give you due credit if only it crosses 35000 views. I want to beat that football thread. :coffee:

Hei, I also need recognition. I have provided lots of post in this thread. I expect, it will cross 50000 views.
