DNA test results.

i have been suffering of an id crises of sorts.of who i actually am.if my surrounding influences hadn't been what they have been...what my decisions would be like,my tastes,my choices.
would i want a money laden future,orwould i be a wild free spirit.would i be successful in the typically sense or atyical sense?will i someday manage to regain my urbane outlook or do i remain gawaar?
am i a city type...or am i home grown vegetable type...????
quarter life crises of sorts.....now solved.

My DNA scan and scrutiny reveals that i am a true bong.will always be so.proudly too.and everything that i shall do,will become and the be.....will be attributed to that fact that i am bong.
here's why.

1. convent educated.
every bong family wants a convent educated daughter or a daughter in law.and i happen to be from loreto house.
which translates into....I'm a snob.i WILL turn up my button mushroom nose if you cant speak English that way i do.i wasn't born or reared to cook or house keep.i hate boys and men who are ...well... boys or men.
i did go through the phase when i believed that values and ethics was all hokum.and loreto upbring was just over rated.and that i give two hoots about what is supposedly right or wrong.and i used to feel very injured when ppls reaction to LH was....."she is just snooty"
now....im glad i had LH.i am very proud that i am different.that i am justified in being snooty.i am proud of all the values and morals that were ingrained in me.they have been tested loads of times in the past few years.i am glad that no matter what.. i never denied them...and that was what saw me through,though often rocky...and not always apt...but i remained a lady, and standing.i realized i was a diff class altogether.yes,i am an elitist....in muy thought,expression and judgement.so sue me or screw me.
on that note.... as taught by the nuns...i at times too regard orgasms to be sinful.hehe.

2. typically bong...i have a sweet tooth.not necessarily for mishti and shondesh and all.....but for the goodies from nahoums,wengers,flurys....caramel custard and banana loaf,neapolitan,pudding....etc etc...in the heaviest form.

3. laziness.its a hereditary trait.if im not lazy....then im just lethargic.in everything i do.studying,working,implementation of a plan or decision,eating...sleeping,exercise...lazy love making too.when im not lazy...im just procrastinating.

4. opinion. a true bong has an opinion on everything.usually based on half baked knowledge.education,politics,phootball,socail trends and norms,lifestyle,food, life insurance.... and the fate of our environment.i do too.

5. an avante garde of parampara,shonshkriti and the esteemed "Culture".... i have to know art ,lit,music,poetry and dance forms.thus....
i do know more than a fair bit of robindro shongeet.and nazrul islam.i love ganesh pyne.and bhupen hazarika.uday shankar and bikrom ghosh.from there on....che guevara,plath and neruda,yeats and naipaul,freddie mercury and linkin park(sorry bhai....but i just dont like lin park), Tchaikovsky and salsa(which i cant do....) ...i am indeed the avante garde of sorts.dont recommend me to your kids.

6. sex. a durex condom sex survey revealed that bong women are the most adventurous in bed.well....

7. money.all bongs are lost when faced with it.they have zero investment concepts.no knowledge of the financial ups and downs.....hehe....im smarter...but as bong.
show me the money....and i shall buy books,and travel...and buy a car....zero investment concept.

8. boho chic.the bongs are naturally born bohemian.dirty clothes.all the vices...drugs,ciggies and booze.(ma..in case you ever read this....no i dont do all of them!!)batik and jhola bags.( fabindia fabindia fabindia....and khadi,khadder..etc etc) dingy places for cheap chinese,cha drinker(BIG TIME),loafer,dusty book shops giving discounts....even if i am in bbay or blore.pavement charm.natak and experimental art.

9. mothering.all bong women make fantastic mothers.take children to school,then tuition,then nach/gan/blah classes,supervise homework....provide nutritious tiffin and meals,clean and polish keds/shoes.... similar treatment also for husband,chchoto sister /brother....etc etc.
i am a fantastic mother.to animals...dogs,cats,bovines and poultry.the beasts in my belfry....ie the mad roommates,to anushree who always will need a hug and a scolding,to anyone who doesnt have a bath and does no laundry.to anyone who is still recovering from heartbreak.(yes i will kick your arse and get you going).to anyone who needs to be shaken and scolded to get going.and yes....also to muy bhai and ma.kids....im allergic to them.

9. i am a bong when it comes to having an issue abt marriage,music,men...
marriage....never.bhak!!!
men.....o god..stay away.
music...yes i was subjected to piano classes.western classical music in the purest form....with a mem buri for a teacher.trinity college and all.
and i am a bong....kurta,denims,kajal and free.

joy bangla???

I hate sweets, a Coffee drinker, Aesthetically and Scientifically Challenged. Never did drugs life, I am an anti communist anti Marxist.. Hate Maoism. Never carried ajhola in life, never wore batik.. have taste for Louis Phillipes and formals. Yes i do were a lot of fab India( which whole India does, and it has more north campus touch to it .. its very very Delhite ), I hate haggling with taxi and auto rickshaw wallas.. hate cheap foot path bargains. Hate second hand and pirated books
I hate wasting time on sleep, a spend thrift which i believe is not a quintessential Bong Character. Lackadaisical only at times..stand tall at 6'2". And most importantly i am not really fond of fish
Non of them are Bong in nature, but i am still a bong at heart body mind and soul.
See you cant genaralise all bongs.. not always
