The word 'addaru' comes from 'adda'. The word 'adda' exists in Bengali and other many Indian languages. "Adda" manifests itself everywhere in embryonic form. From the Egyptians or Turks chilling out with a cup of coffee or the Americans guzzling bear in a pub – everybody is found relaxed, relieved and deeply engrossed in a typical 'addaru' mood, sometime or the other.
