"The first flight of Spice Jet will leave Kolkata on Saturday at 7:30am (local time) and reach Shah Amanat International Airport in Chattogram's Patenga 50 minutes later at 8:30am BST (Bangladesh Standard Time), they stated.

The aircraft will leave Shah Amanat International Airport the same day at 11am BST and reach Kolkata at 11:50am local time, said the officials.

Wives of Chittagong Sowdagars will be happy now.

Apparently, per one of my Calcutta Dada friends, Bangladeshi tourists are the highest tippers in Calcutta Restaurants and hotels. Sometimes their plain dress and unassuming ways belie their wealth and generosity.

When a large party of Bangladeshis arrive at a Calcutta restaurant, all the waiters run that way to their table in hope of big tips, much to the consternation of the local customers, who usually are kanjoos tippers.

I lived in Cox's Bazaar and Halishahar in Chittagong a long time ago. Whatever their dresses look like or their living style is, Chittagong Saudagar people are really rich. Many of them start their carrier by smuggling contraband goods from foreign ships.

I met one Saudagar in a hotel room in Tokyo. He came to marketing Tuna fish that are available in the Indian Ocean as well as BoB. The Japanese call it Indo-Maguro. It is more delicious than the North Pacific one.

A destitute Bangladeshi came to meet him and wanted his help. He was probably from Chittagong and I don't know why a destitute when he can work. But the Saudagar donated $200 without asking any questions.

I have also met some of these people while in Chittagong. They are big-hearted and pay alms/ zakat to the needy as per the religious teachings or more than that.

No wonder that Kolkatta restaurant/ hotel guys would be happy to have them as guests, thanks to the Spicejet airlines. Other markets will be equally invigorated with their arrival, especially if they go with their free-spending womenfolks.
