Yes, besides the www.wordanywhere.com, which has an exclusive Hindi board (of which I am the moderator), you can also reach my blog here:\n\nhttp://spaces.msn.com/members/IndiaLanguageCulture.\n\nMost likely, your query would already have been answered in either of these places. If you have any specific query, simply post it on the blog. I have the blog open most of the time, so you should get your answers in a few hours' time, if not instantly. Note that you need to have a hotmail account before you can post an entry on the blog. \n\nTo make your query, simply hit the "COMMENT" below any of my posts.\n\nCheers,\nSanjay.

my husband is from Bangladesh and I went to visit his family for 6 months....I knew the rituals before hand but here is what : never eat with your left hand or touch anything on the table with it if you can help it...this is seen as dirty. Bengalis eat food in the islamic fashion of using the right hand and using this hand for doing clean things, it is also an islamic fashion to eat with the hands and not utensils(it is sunnah) but if you are not bengali or muslim your host will give you utensils if necessary. It is a high honor to eat like you are enjoying your food immensely as bengali women take hours to prepare food in great detail, and expect you to finish all the food on your plate, bengalis dont leave food on their plates.Do not be surprised at the amount of rice a bengali woman can eat. If you have curry with bones in it there will be a seperate dish or container at the table for your bones, which should not be placed on the plate you are eating on. After eating rinse your mouth out with water a few times, but not in the kitchen sink. Do not leave the table to use the bathroom during the meal. When the meal is going on and over do not be surprised at how they lick there hand.When there is company usually the men eat seperately from the women but otherwise they do not and some households do eat together all the time...it depends....I personally never ate without my husband and during a party refused to eat unless I sat with him ..the women in his family enjoyed seeing that. You may want to become familiar with some bengali food terms and words. Most benagli food is great but i dont recommend fish curry if you are inexperienced with bones be very careful.All bengali desserts are wonderful. Expect not to drink anything but water at dinner and you wont see any wine etc. either. Men who are guests do not help with cleanup. Meals can be quick ordinarily but at dinner partiesthey can be lengthy and consist of many dishes and courses not served in any order as that depends on the hostess. You will serve yourself and dont be shy they like to see you came hungry. It is worth noting for cultural aspect that even in bangladesh when a visitor of any kind comes calling that something to drink, fruits cut up and cookies on plates are served as a sign of hospitality whether asked for or not and is prepared by the woman immediately....... ps even if they are non muslim they dont use the left hand.

You are living under the shadows of india, your politicians are corrupt and no leader in Bangladesh now a days can stand for his country. I think that is the main reason for the neglections.
