Personal space is very hard to come by back home (Bishesh korey amar family-tey, specifically in my family), in a very large greater family context, (and I mean, in my family when Brahman-baira, Feni and Dhaka all collide together you come across thousands of family members, and for example, me and my beloved wife, we have been married over 12-13 years and do not want children and fufus, chachis, khalas, old bhabis, dadis want to to send us for in-vitro f treatment and in open public, be it a Walima or a funeral wake. They ask what is wrong with us. They all gesture at my wife with an invisible baby in their arms and make my poor wife feel very uncomfortable and embarrassed. Ami bhai, raiga/chita jai, boli, arrey apnara Murdaar baritey ashcen, dua phoren, Dorud Sharif phaath khoren, ei shob ajaira baiccha kaicchar chinta + kotha baad den....
