Because when it’s about your Jamai, only the freshest Ilish will do.*=
�� A Festival of Love and Lots of Food
If you're Bengali, you already know — *Jamai Shashthi* isn’t just a tradition. It’s a grand celebration of the Jamai Babu (son-in-law), marked with rituals, new clothes, and of course, a feast that would make any royal jealous.
And at the heart of that feast? Maach. Bengali fish. Fresh and full of emotion.
Not frozen. Not local.
But the kind that smells like New Market, Lake Market, or Gariahat — the kind that says, “This is Kolkata.”
�� From Kolkata to Bangalore — A Celebration, Recreated
This year in Bangalore, *Mrs. Banerjee* was determined to recreate the exact same Jamai Shashthi she used to host in Kolkata — complete with shorshe ilish, Rui kalia, and Pabda Jhal,Chingri Malaikari and Murighonto.
But standing in her kitchen in Bangalore, one thing troubled her:
Where will I get fresh fish? Fish,available in Bangalore, just doesn’t taste the same.” That’s when her niece, *Rini*, visiting from Mumbai, casually said: Mashi, why don’t you order it from JustMyRoots?”
Mrs. Banerjee was confused. “Restaurant theke order korbo?”
(From a restaurant?)
Rini smiled and shook her head.
> “No, Mashi. JustMyRoots has this *Intercity * service. They’ll get the fish *straight from Kolkata*. Super fresh,cut,cleaned and packed. No preservatives, no compromise.
Enter JustMyRoots Intercity — Where Distance is just a number. That very afternoon, Mrs. Banerjee opened the JustMyRoots app with Rini’s help and placed her order:
✔️ *Ilish from Gariahat market*
✔️ *Live Rohu,Pabda,Golda Chingri and Rui Macher Matha packed fresh*
✔️ *Delivery timed a day before Jamai Shashthi*
And then, JustMyRoots did what it does best:
* Picked the freshest catch straight from Kolkata
* Packed it carefully in specialised containers with zero preservatives
* Delivered right to her doorstep in Bangalore — fresh, intact, and full of nostalgia
�� The Jamai Shashthi Feast That Stole the Show
On the big day, the kitchen was alive again.Mustard oil sizzling. The aroma of shorshe and kasundi in the air. Mrs. Banerjee was smiling — not just because the fish had arrived, but because she had recreated a piece of home,a warm hug of familiarity,,,a Home,away from Home. The Jamai Babu arrived, touched her feet, and sat for lunch. His first bite of *shorshe ilish* made him stop mid-chew. Ma… this is exactly like Kolkata. How did you even…?”
She smiled and pointed to her niece, who was already clicking pictures for Instagram.Thank your cousin. And thank JustMyRoots.
