Nice to have RRR on your resume. Mark has that on his resume, among other things. Not me. No, but it's nice to have it on your resume. Did you see that casting office, Chavez? I did. That was so, that made me really, really happy. What did I do? I said, thank you so much. If you ever need white actors. Yep. No, but if you don't know what we're talking about, it was the casting who did the movie Berlin. Berlin. Who gave us a shout out, because we gave them a shout out, deservedly so. And that makes me really, really happy, because that's one of the many aspects of filmmaking that doesn't get enough credit. And that's the casting office. I'm assuming it's going to come out soon for everybody else. It should. When it does, guys. Great movie. Top shelf, you know. Great, I'll watch it again. Today we have a video from National Geographic that is called Iconic Sweets of Dirkapuja. My honey. No, Dirkapuja. I wish he was here. I wish he was here. Indians Mega Festivals. This came out three weeks ago. I think it's the same guy that did that boats thing. Oh, OK. I think the British guy. Maybe I'm wrong. We'll see, I guess, in a second. My sweetheart. Do you have any sweets for Dirkers? We did. We were able to have, thankfully, a really beautiful thing. It's on my Instagram, if you haven't seen it. But we went with the Bengali community here for the third year to celebrate Dirkapuja. And it was Andrani's first time to actually help serve and set up and do things. And then there was a band from Calcutta that she grew up listening to that was there and had a concert that we got to enjoy. It's not anywhere remotely close. I mean, we are believing Dirkapuja 2024. We will be in Calcutta. That is our goal to finally be able to say it's really within reach that we could do it. So hopefully. Here we go. Some of the panels this year were unbelievable in Calcutta. We saw video. Look what I've found. Yeah, it's at Tim. It's regal, isn't it? But with all these celebrations, I fancy something a little sweet, so. Mischty. Tata Tare Chalo. Oh, that's a good look for a big white guy to do that. I'm heading to a 130 year old sweet shop. Wow, I thought they talked about sweets more. Year old sweet shop called Baloran Mullik, Raderaman Mullik, or simply Balorans. Sunid Mullik is the fourth generation of a family that runs this business and is a man who keeps a watchful eye as millions of sweets make it from the kitchens to the counters for this festive rush. Siddique. Hello. I'm glad you answered my message. Surely. You must be getting spammed at the moment. This is the busiest time of the year. So I recognize this. Mischty doi. Yeah, I kind of. But there's some things I don't recognize. Like, what's that one there? This is mango mischty doi. This is the most famous one. I mean, what's this one here? This is like a, it looks like it's called shawar mischty doi, but it's actually baked. With condensed milk? That is shawar doi then? Yeah. Oh, yeah, lovely. Is this traditional dessert or is this? Very traditional, very traditional. This mango one is delicious. This is another superstar. This is called baked or shawar mischty doi. I looked you up and this was one of the things that came up was baked raskula. I've never heard of it. Baked raskula. Oh, yeah. See, I prefer this. Thank you so much. Don't be offended, but raskula, I like it, but I can leave it. But this, this is lovely because it's caramelized and toasting. If only you could taste it. Like creme brulee. This dish occupies pride of place in a Bengali sweet shop. College cheese dessert has been given many avatars here at Valoran's. So what's the most, what are the most popular choices? The most popular is this jolbora shawar mischty doi. Look at that. How are these made? Jolbora means water filled. But it's not filled with water though. What's that filled with? Yeah, jolbora or honey? It's Bengali word for water. Jolbora, yeah. Surprise in something. I'd love to try making something. So could we? Of course. This time again. Look at this. Oh, why did you come in and mess it all up? Show me how, show me how to do it. Very cool pistachio. Don't let him do it. He'll take over. First, that way around. Put it in. And half of them on. Okay, so half a mold into there. A little bit of pressure. And then of all inside. And then this is, ah, I see. Then pour the syrup. Yep. And then seal it with a sealer. Okay. The first one bends out of shape. So I slightly slip it into a pile behind me. I need to get better and soon. Yeah, see how that, and then look. One. All done by hand. All I'm feeling is the pressure of those eyes over there. Looking at how terrible, my terrible efforts. Yeah, they are terrible. Yeah, not great. We would be just as bad. Not me. If not worse, you would be worse. Well, I've been told to the kitchen. You know, when you're at home and you're chatting and you're with your family and you're making 12, what a lovely job. When you're in a factory, the joy for some reason just seeps away. But when I walk away, it'll take them all and throw them away. You know, no, no, no. I'm gonna sell them 1000 rupees per piece. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Well, too bad it was that so short. It didn't feel like four minutes, felt like two minutes. No, it did. It just went by really fast. What's your favorite mishti? Yeah. The term for sweets. For all sweets. Ah! That's tough. Sorry. How are you doing over there? My knee was cramp. Your knee ever just get really stiff? Yes. It has done that before. Well, it happens here quite a bit. I love for our school. We sit and so like our knee is locked in this position. Yeah. A lot of Indian sweets I found are wet and that does throw me off sometimes, especially if it's not warm wet. Like, you prefer it wet and warm. Oh, I love it when it's wet and warm. You know what I'm saying? But like the first times we ever had a glove jamming. Yeah. It was not. Soggy and cold. Yeah. And I'm like. Wasn't it out of a can? Yeah. Like this. Why do you guys like this? And then you have it fresh and warm. It's a whole other world. It's absolutely incredible. Yeah. I think the first time I had it, that was a fresh one was actually in India. In India, Delhi. In Delhi when we did the tasting. Yes. And then we were so good. I think we had back to back because we did a snack video. We did. In front of everybody. Yep. And then we went to the five star restaurant or whatever it was. Well, I don't know which one would be my favorite because I don't even remember all the ones that I had because Andrani took me to a sweet shop very similar to this. It was not that as big but it's walking distance from her house in Calcutta. And I remember we got seven or eight different Mishis to eat and ate it there. So I don't even remember. She would remember. Which I loved them all. They were all incredible. And yeah, it's, I mean, Mishis are there all the time, every day, anyway. But Durgapooja is the big time. Yeah. Yeah. That was great. I'm guessing this is just like an hour long thing they did. And I remember how often beautiful stupid babies at meet and greets would bring us things to eat. Tried to feed me. Yeah, all the time. I had a right in the throat. All the time. Don't do that. And gave me a birthday cake because we were there on my birthday. Remember? It was really sweet. Pun intended. I think that was when you were alone. I don't think I was there on your birthday. No, you were. They gave us a big sing-along in Mumbai. When? You don't remember that? Was that the meet and greet? Yeah. Was that the meet and greet and Johnny was with us? They sang to you? Yeah. I must have blocked that out. I'm sure. It wasn't about me. No, exactly. That's what happened. When? It was in Mumbai. When, when during the meet and greet? It was, it was like halfway in the middle point. It was before we did, because we ended with the line of everybody coming up. So it was. Technically we ended with the alcohol drinking. That's true. But it was really when we were coming to a close before people came up to take photos and we did the meet and greet that they had a birthday cake and sang happy birthday. Yeah, I don't remember that at all. Yeah, that's all right. I was probably, you know, doing something more important. Yep. Anyways. You were probably trying to upload something. Probably not yet. No, because I don't think it was, I was definitely, I might have actually been, because we, that day was so crazy because that was the first day that we were in India. And so we had like a few hours of sleep. No, that was, that was deli. I'm talking about Mumbai. I'm talking about the meet and greet in the mall in Mumbai. Oh, and. Same place where we did McDonald's down on the low floor in the Chuck E Cheese. We did have the meet and greet in Chuck E Cheese. It was very fun. Yeah. It's all a blur. No, I don't remember that at all. I don't remember that at all. Anyways, is it on the channel, did we? I don't remember. I don't, I think I posted it on Instagram. I don't know if you kept it in the video and that might be why you don't remember it. Well, there was just a camera filming the entire time. Yeah. I don't remember. I have to go back and look regardless, but yeah. Great, let us know if other videos from this guy or other sweets videos, Bengali videos. Yes. Which we are next Bengali film. We're overdue for Bengali film. Yep. Let us know down below.
