- Being a bong or bengali brings about a lot of things to me, firstly holding tight on my culture that’s mainly good food, good music and over the top people with loads of fun. We, as bongs know how to find stuff that makes us feel better and nostalgic. Food is always a great factor – the home-cooked versions made by grannys and mothers, comparing them to the so-called modern versions, plays an important role in the life of us bongs. We’re just so engrossed in food debates every time that it surprises me that how we even survive the other aspects of the world! But those bong genes helps really to distinguish between good and bad things in life pretty easily. Love all the crazy habits we have and all the crazy things we do but somehow it helps us to feel better about ourselves and everything else.
