Im sure you see my point though:) As for your negativity…Im sure you’ll get over it pretty soon. Everyone goes through a phase like this Im sure. Its just a matter of time before you have god sent realizations and things are all good (or bad!).

I totally agree with you … people do tend to get more religious when they move abroad (namely the west)..its probably due to the fact that

a) you finally have a sense of individuality and responsibility and are far away from your family, who have shielded and protected you all through your life. This is for students

b) Your kids are asking you questions like…Ma, why cant I go clubbing with my friends or why cant I wear the same kinda outfits all my friends in school do. You as a parent can only say…cos we’re Bangali. Or cos we’re Muslim! (This is assuming you want to stick to the traditions of the Desh and the religion)Im pretty sure kids get messed up to the same extent at home or abread when living with parents. But its just more apparent to the parents where you’re living abroad. Cos parents tend to focus more on the kids when there arent too many other social issues to deal with.

Makes sense? Maybe not!But whatever…as long as youre content with your own life…which you should be:) After all you’re one of the lucky few to be able to get a good college education:P

good luck with the practicals…they kinda suck…but look at the bright side…you’re going to be in university soon…and life will be good again:)

ps. I dont like the caption ‘Brag it’ AT ALL!!!!
