Step up, step down, bend right, bend left

Originally posted on ag (but I've harboured these thoughts far too long to waste them on a mere reply which I'd never find again. They just seemed to pour out as I prepared to press "submit" on a one-liner reply, the story behind most of my blogs tbh). However, do excuse the unpolished language ;-)

lol i was so sure "dr. humayra abedin" pulled a stunt to obtain british citizenship earlier than the 5 year waiting period for her "highly skilled" visa would allow or sth. so that she could take a quick break to paris via eurostar without the hassle of a schengen visa. :P until she accused her parents of getting her admitted to a mental health hospital where she was "forced to take antipsychotic drugs and mood stabilisers that were wrongly prescribed". bullshit. yeah we've all heard the terrible lab aid stories and shit but i refuse to believe medicine practiced in bd is sooo fuc ked up. i can't think of anywhere else that would happen apart from bangla cinema. Either shey bhua kotha bolse interview te or we should all be aware of being prescribed the wrong medication that the doctor picked while he was blindfolded and recited "eenie meenie minie mo" next time either we ourselves or some close relative(s) or friend(s) are admitted to a bd hospital....

And bhua kotha bole thakle that was a terrible accusation by that selfish, selfish prat.

Shotto bole thakleo amar oke selfish prat bolar karon ase. She goes off to england to "study" and starts to live together with her "non-muslim" bf. Call me boring and old fashioned and uncool, but it's just that from that phrase (as reported by one of the news websites - i don't think it was bbc, might've been the guardian), I simply know the parents' side of the story is justified. Justified bolte ami boltesi na that her parents had the right to lie to take her back to bd and force her to marry this guy. I just mean that they as ordinary bangali parents, jara na jani koto jhamela koira meye re desher baire poraise, had a right to get pissed off.

Don't get me wrong, ami kintu forced marriage er pokkhe kisu bolinai.....even this faltu beti doesn't deserve to be married off to some faul guy she doesn't looooooove. But beti chalak hoile kayda koira jinishta handle korto. Baap ma ke mittha asshash/random bs story banay boila diya'i hoke, ar jei bhabei hoke. I thought daktars are clever/cunning/diplomatic(?!) enough to be able to keep their parents pleased as well as have an awesome helluva party all life long and not resort to teel ke taal kora and putting her country down before the eyes of the world. And I'll apologise and take it all back if somehow i ever find out that asholei she was telling the truth without an inch of exaggaration (rather than news reports or some autobiography which is surely due to be released sometime within the next five years - highly likely to be by the end of 2009 followed by a "lose weight with humayra abedin in 6 easy steps" DVD celebrating her 15 seconds of fame which tops being saved from some random miserable marriage by miiiiiilessss).

(okay fab ei kothagula amar pet er bhitor atkay chilo for the last god knows how many weeks, ever since the papers n shit were bombarded by her)..
