our surrounding !


Surroundings affect life by telling you what you should be. Our surroundings are part of our culture. In another country, the people have customs are different than those of Americans, and we think that they strange. The truth, however, is that we seem stranger to them. All around us are things and people telling us what to become, influencing our everyday lives. In addition our Bengali culture seems strange to many American. Our dresses, foods, different language etc. sometimes they found it as an interesting.  They are being curious to know about our culture. If somehow they like it, then they want to be part of our culture by wearing cloths like us and eat the same spicy food. Especially people like our henna stuff because it’s kind of like a tattoo. But they don’t what’s the meaning behind it. People part of our surroundings. What fashion statements are going on? What are the celebrities wearing? Whether we know it or not. We all want to be just like the other people. Our culture wants us to fit in, to become part of the surrounding. We let friends fashion, and fame control who we are, and who we are becoming. But these are what surround us! As humans, it is impossible for us to know anything other than what can be seen or heard. We see and hear everything in our surroundings every day. Our surroundings tell us who we should be, and so we become just that, and so does everyone else. In the end, we all become exactly what society wants us to be. We become our surroundings.
