I remain proud to be Bangladeshi by blood. We are an honest, straightforward people; yes, sometimes we egg up our arguments, big deal, this is for you, Nilgiri
I much enjoyed reading your reply here, though now I am totally confused as to what @hellfire "really really" does...because that must be the 3rd hint someone gave..i think @nair , hellfire himself and now you.... and they all pulled in different directions for me heh (within generic veteran of the armed services envelope)...nair was hinting its flying some kind of "best" aircraft iirc.
Friend, I remember an Indian Bengali in a youtube video comment section (BD cultural song...it could have been the national anthem...I forget specifics) saying "maybe one day I will see my relatives (in East Bengal) in afterlife" and a Bangladeshi poster has replied (written in Bengali - which I needed to translate) "Brother, this country is yours too, you are welcome anytime."
You see I am not oblivious at all to certain things (as much my persona here in this subforum might seem to obscure). One of my best friends who I consider basically a brother, is from Bangladesh...and trust me I have helped him with lot of material for use against Indian snobs!
Anyways this post did give me pause to reminisce on assisting two Bangladeshi members here (I dont see them posting anymore sadly!) previously with regards to medical travel of their kin to Bangalore and Vellore respectively.
There is reason I keep an email in my signature still you know (and it might surprise you to know some of the Pakistani members that have approached me there too). It lets me talk in a not so hostile context and to help a fellow brother or sister out when I can....or just cool things down with chit chat about stuff without having to worry about some mean-minded troll or emotional brat ruining a stream of thought!
Oh and I don't mean to compare people directly (I find razpak quite endearing too btw)....just the issue of concept that perception of someone on basis of some or even all their posts....is not necessarily the full truth about them. People post here for all kind of reasons I would think....take a certain doctor we both know here who likes the multi-persona game a bit too much. Well I know another doctor (good friend of mine actually) in real life....and the job he has to do hits him right in the gut almost each day sometimes (he is a pediatrician)...and he resorts to the bottle because he takes it all quite personally when there is a loss. A lot of emotional baggage/psychological stuff can come with a profession one ends up choosing...so I don't judge too harsh in the end what the doc here does....who really knows the why and what and how etc.
So I keep that at the back of my head always, everyone story is bit different...so I do admonish people (I have admonished @Two quite regularly too at times)...and I do receive it in return...but I do not claim to totally understand and judge them (in entirety) for what they do here...and I ask the same in return from them! (It is when I give it but do not receive it, that an issue brews up and boils over basically).
This can be a release for lot of people after all from whatever going on in their real life. The point is hopefully everyone over time and many a thread is learning something they didnt know and broadening their horizons, even if they vociferously disagree with whatever point of view (esp from all the boiling point situations)!.
