Whenever I go to Bangladesh I'm always thinking, 'oh no, I'm going back to a place that doesn't mean anything to me and that I can't relate to'. However, when it's time to come back, I always feel a pang of regret at leaving. I want to stay!
Is it like that for you? Why do you feel this way?
For me it's the carefree Bangali lifestyle. No exam's, jobs or other such responsibilities to look forward to. You can just sit in the utaan or barinda and while away entire days doing nothing more strenuous than swimming in the fukur or visiting friends.
People are sooo much closer in the towns and villages. Everyone keeps their doors open and you can walk in from one house to another for sa nastha and end up staying over for the whole day.
I reckon Bangladeshi people got it made.
