Tue 1st of January 2008 – Nijhum

Nijhum is 26 now (almost 27) and moved from Bangladesh about 5 years ago. In Bangladesh he married his wife with whom he now lives together. He must love her very much – because of the marriage his parents did not speak to him for 5 years – now they speak again. Nijhum told me about the 1971 war in which Bangladesh gained independence from Pakistan and lost millions of lives. Nijhum gets very emotional about it and I was surprised I didn’t even know. When the hour was finished Nijhum invited me to his house for some serious curry and he proved to be a good cook.
