8. So you're Bengali. I was guessing Sinhalese, but I got it wrong this time. Happy new year!

I wish that I had known that greeting when I had a Bengali co-worker (very cool guy, now living back home) but as you are aware I have bad manners.

11. Now I'm curious.
Is the Bengali New Year on the same date every year (April 15th), or is it calculated by other means? I could probably Google that, but I'm being lazy. :)

19. Thanks!
That actually makes more sense than January 1st. It seems like a "new year" should start in the spring, not in the middle of winter. In recent years I've "unofficially" considered Earth Day the start of a new year, myself.

What year is it in Bangladesh? I would assume they go by a different calendar if today is New Year's day.
