When I got married in a bengali family, I used to wonder, have I come to a foreign land, which I, now, find it true.
In Bengali families, you are supposed to take off your shoes before entering the house, which I never saw in Punjabi families. And, the same Bengali rule is true for North American or European household, they do take off their shoes at the entrance of their houses.
I laughed a lot when I first learned of that Bengali's carry a separate bed and cover sheets for the train journeys as well as for hotel stays. And, I was equally amazed to know that typical Swiss people do prefer to make their own beds in the hotels.
As I mentioned in my earlier post-Bengali Bride: Part 2, Bengalis have course based meal system, which in part seems to inspire from the European cuisine.
Bengalis have the love for nature, therefore in everyBengali'ss rooftop or in the balcony, you can find a tub of flowers and vegetables, and in their backyard or front yard, you could easily locate a mango or beetle nut or coconut tree. Same is true for Europeans.
Bengali's are also quite sustainable. They always throw the vegetable peels in their garden at the roots of the tree for decomposition. And, in Switzerland, every household or apartment building has a separate small bin for the wet, green waste like vegetable peels.
Bengalis also love to travel a lot. They are very curious and want to know each and everything. That is why Bengalis are great travel and a huge amount of their saving for traveling. Same is true for the westerners.
As I mentioned earlier that Bengali's are curious to know each and everything. Therefore, they love to read a lot. It is a common site to find a closet or a corner decorated with books related to literature. And, I have also observed that people in the west do love to read a lot.
Like westerner people, Bengalis do have a soft feeling for their art and culture. It is a common custom that Bengalis put a lot of emphasis on extra-curricular activities. Poor or rich alike, they try to put their kids into a dance, drama/theater, singing, music or drawing school.
Bengalis are also very stereotyped. Like, they have a special liking for heathy, long-hair girls.
