A word about "Greatbong". The "Bong" has two meanings---of course the "Bong" as in Bengali and the second one "Bong" as in a instrument for smoking cannabis. Not that I endorse drugs or have ever tried it myself, but because "cannabis" is related to "ganja" which in Bengali also means an embellished story. So basically a teller of tall tales. Now ok that takes care of the Bong part. What about the Great ? Well the name "Greatbong" was a derisive epithet given by a non-Bengali friend of mine to refer to all Bengalis who thought too much of themselves.....and so when I was looking for a moniker, I could think of nothing better than Greatbong.
