Imitating the West
As a nation, we the Bengalees, are very much fond of fun and amusement. We love to enjoy the precious moments of our lives with great enthusiasm. And it does not matter to us what we are celebrating and why. We just love to be entertained. We love to have pure entertainment. I'm one of the populace and I also love to enjoy the joyful events such as the 31st night. I love to enjoy and at the same time I remain alert so that my efforts of entertainment don't hurt or disturb others. The 31st night is a special occasion because when the clock hands strike 12, a year ends and at the same time a New Year arrives in our life with more surprise, more events and more incidents. However, on the 31st eve, many of us intentionally or unintentionally start imitating the West and become unbridled! Their attitude says that eventually they forget where they live in. Instead of having real pleasure, some are over interested in showing flaunt aristocracy and vulgarism. Our pride will no longer exist if we blindly follow others and fail to differentiate between good and bad, right and wrong!
What has happened to our national pride? Should we let our promises to be empty?
