After a month and a half or so on Facebook, I have arrived at the assessment that Facebook chatter is a modern technologically advanced international version of the traditional Calcutta Bengali “adda”. I came to this conclusion while trying to explain the phenomenon to my father who was born during the First World War.

Dr Roy’s assessment is funny
but yes, to anyone who knows what a Kolkata Bengali adda is, it is true!
