In Bengali culture, good news and mishti often arrive together.

A wedding, a new job, excellent exam results, a new home or the arrival of a new family member all become occasions to share something sweet.

This tradition turns mishti into more than food. It becomes a simple and beautiful way of expressing happiness, gratitude and affection.
