Dear @sndbox Our culture is written here.
We are native to Bengali culture and we are born Bengali because of our cultural Bengali.
After birth, we hear the first Bengali language from mother's mouth. Mother brought us in Bangla language and made our life involved with Bengali culture. We have been teaching our parents since we were born, we are residents of Bengali culture. I am proud of myself as a citizen of Bengali culture.
There are many rituals and cultural shows in our Bengali culture. Our Bengali culture has a lot of importance in First Boishakh.We celebrate Pahela Boishakh with great pleasure. Our parents teach us rituals through many of our cultural festivals.We celebrate Hilsa fish and panta rice in the morning of Pahela Baishakh. First Boishakh is a very important event for Bengali culture. First Boishakh is an important event for our nation which we celebrate with great pleasure. This festival is a festival of Bengali origin.This is the first festival of Baisakh, which is considered to be a very important festival for Bengali culture.

Hello, @sndbox!
It's amazing how you always come up with these initiatives to suppport creatives within the platform. Thank you for all that you do. I do have a post that I have been drafting since a few days ago when I saw this. It is a great coincidence that it also talks about the bamboo, although it has a completely different take from that of @prch.
