It's going off topic.
Didnt think of you as a Bengali! Hi5 for being a kolkata guy!
Strange that I am running into so many Bengalis on this forum these days.
Also true about family, but I have rarely seen someone from Bengali medium schools give much importance to English. In fact, all I see them do is deface station signs, bus stop signs etc - basically anything and everything that is written in English or Hindi. I guess my experience has formed by witnessing such Bengali medium youths.
Obviously, the sane-er more classy types exist. Else you and I wouldn't be having this conversation.
And yeah, this is veering off topic, let's discuss more through inbox if you are up for it.
