New Social Circle
Hi All,
My first post, so please dont bite . I was just wondering if there are any Bengali brothers living near Stratford, East London as I don't have many Bengali friends and would like to create a new social circle with my own kind.
No offence to other ethnic groups as I have enough friends from your background. I am a 28yr old living near Stratford and would like to meet British Sylheti's (only because I can communicate both in English and in the Sylheti dialect).
Thanks

This is no dating site. All the girls have left because of iDumb.
People, do something with your Sylheti brother!!! Show him the ropes. Did he complete his questionnaire before opening a thread?

Easy Tiger.
I don't judge people. Orphy likes boys as well. He is going to visit London soon for the WC.

Welcome to BC. I was just playing. Hope to see you around. There are lots of East London Sylhetis here. They will show up soon. Join us in the Cricket section while the game is going on.

FYI Alot of Non Sylethis living in UK should be able to communicate in English as well. Especially the ones that come to this forum.

For a person trying to socialise you are quite difficult

What, just because I want to meet people who speak sylheti, I become a difficult person? You know nothing about me to make that assumption, if you don't have anything nice to say, then keep quiet and refrain yourself from making unnecessary comments on a thread you're not interested in. Pathetic!

Why is the attitude of sylheties like this? Koik din por por notun public dhukey. Last time it was some british sylheti looking for american sylheti girl with fair skin and some other rubbish racist request. So far i am getting a horrible impression of sylheties based on what i have seen in this forum. Pathetic.

Not all are like this. However many ones in UK are quite tribal, which I have learnt to understand. But their negative attitude towards non Sylethis are quite vulgar IMO. I have never realised or felt that there are different grades of Bangladeshis until I came to the UK. You specially feel this when you go to East London.
I wonder whatever happened to that stud looking for a gal.

How do you know this poster is a Sylheti?
This is like a troll, acting to be a Sylheti.
Is it to hard to guess? Someone is playing around.

Bhai, eikhaney thakley bhujten era ki chiz.
Langol to London .. evolution usually happens this way : village > mofosshshol shohor > capital > aborad. They went from village to aborad in one go. Eder jiboner ekta khali aim - kivabey lal aka British passport pabey. You meet any British Syleti and the first thing they ask you 'Kagoj hoisey' . WTF?
Places in East London where they live are notorious for dug dealing. If you ever happen to drive through one, you will see the ganja stone-eyed looks on the teenagers while they drive leased Audis and BMWs. Of course they are not all bad, the hujur types can be good or jongibadi. A lot of these joined ISIS for example.
We , non Syletis do not want any association with these British Syletis and would prefer not to be lumped into the British Bangladeshi category with them.

welcome to BC. How old are you? If on the older, try going to the local mosque. If younger, try meetups, professional networking events, etc.
When I visited London, some of my friends took me to asian parties/bollywood nights, etc. you could try to find those as well.

try meetup.com, you might be able to find BD specific events. For professional events, reach out to your college for asian/bd specific groups. Or you can look for groups to join on linkedin. see if they have groups for asians in your industry, and thats usually the place where networking events get posted.
Back in my banking days, i used to get a lot of emails for asian american networking reception, etc. Im sure similar things will exist in the UK.

lol, I am so so sorry!! bdesh tiger.
My uncalled for response has opened a can of worms. That was not my intention. Just to have some jokes and fun. These days BC was getting boring so....
Lets start new. My name is T_E. People call me dada bhai. I am almost double your age. I love this website. I am not a Sylheti. Now I have never been there. Would like to visit someday. Adam, Yankees, iDumb - all nice folks here once you get to know them.

Welcome to the forum, I am not a full swing Sylheti but my ancestors were landlords in Habiganj. I cannot speak or understand khas Sylheti. Enjoy the forum.
