Bongcollection is a platform for all the Bengalis across the globe. Promoted by www.bongcollection.com, this page is dedicated to the Bongs, by the Bongs. Here let us clarify and be very specific that "Bongcollection" has nothing to do with intoxication, hookah, cannabis etc. The name is dedicated to the Indian slang that defines Bengalis as "Bongs".

About BongCollection: Welcome to the world of BONG-dom or BONG-ness as we love to call it. There is no smokey enamor in the word BONG which is a concept to bring cultural minds of Bengal, together. A totally ethnic approach which is neither sectarian nor community centric.

www.bongcollection.com is actually an effort to provide the global Bangali with a unique platform to come together and enjoy the BONG-passion. Four "Pakka Bong"s who lived in the majical aura of Bengal, lived its urban culture, and searched for its rustic touch at different times; thought it would be nice to live and re-live the sensations this land bestows.

Saluting our tribute with a collection of uniquely designed Tee Shirts we try to stitch colorful threads of Bengal. Our T-Shirts try to capture anything that has links with being ‘Bangali, keeping in mind the global aspect of fashion trends.

www.bongcollection.com understands the cosmopolitan requirements and has very adequately adapted to its hues. However, the touch of "bangaliana" is everything that adds the spice in life. Ask any Bangali or an outsider settled in this "mishti" land, about the charms of the place, they would count innumerable aspects that colored, spiced,harmonized and dramatised their lives. The land of bengal nourishes the best of food, any Bengali finds pride and cooking and various bengali dishes( the numbers of which are neverending). And each of these dishes compete any international platter.

A Bengali house still has one family member practicing music as vocation and sadhana. A taanpura still adorns a common bengali living room, the dusks still rhyme the beautiful sargams and the twilight jazz with the club’s innovative bangla compositions.

BONG-ness is walking apace with this living vibrance of Bengal, amalgamating the oriental and the occidental.Just like the Bangla Durga Pujo finds universal themes in its composition, each para trying to bring the cosmopolitan colors of Durga Maa’s Agomoni to Bishorjon. Just like a Bengali finds pride in singing Rock, bongcollection.com tries to capture those majic moments in a pattern.

To take you through what bongcollection.com envisages its dream journey as- we would try to potray the cultural heritage that still lives and breathes in Bengal. Our journey begins in Kolkata and would travel through the mystic sweet and colorful cultures around the land. We know how each nostalgic BONG loves the forlorn tunes of Bangla music, teh solo dances potraying the love lost, the dramas that talk deep philosophies in life. We also share the moments of ecstacy of the living BONG erudite, for whomlooking throughthe pages of books found a motive inliving. Everyone of us BONGs still live the wonderful messages the world spread in its humane touch.

There is, hence, a little need to exhibit how much global a Bengali is. We are trying to live the same sentiment, not judging as to what is and what should be- rather sailing with the waves. Yet, there is something that always wants to be different among commons and hence the tee shirts.

These T-Shirts would try to bring anything that a Bengali holds dear to it and can identify with. They may be the veteran stalwarts that lived in the land and a caption that catches them not as judgement but as the identity in itself.

These T-Shirts could also hold some monuments, heritage structures in Bengal yet a simple with a story behind. Or these T-Shirts could also just bring out a simple artefact that identifies bengali ethnicity.
