Well I'm Bengali (parents are from Bangladesh).
Desi is usually considered people from Pakistan, India, and Bangladesh.
I meant to say Bengali* community, not Desi community.
It's all dependent on the individual on how hard it is getting married. A lot of times the families will be very picky, moreso than the individuals. This leads to failed relationships and marriages.
Oh cool, a good friend of mine is a Muslim from Bangladesh. He's actually in Bangledesh right now for the first time in over 11 years. He would come have Christmas with my family sometimes over the years since it had been so long since he'd seen his parents.
I've been bugging him to bring back some spices and stuff. I had some Bangeldeshi food when I was visiting London (a place in Brick Lane Road neighborhood), it was to die for.
Anyways, that's my story. Cheers man, haha.
