  • What is culture?

    My professor asked me one question in Thesis defense, and that is, “What is culture to you?”
    And I answered, “Culture is something where we can relate ourselves to, irrespective individual or collective. Where we can’t relate ourselves, there’s barely any culture there.”

    The man from this picture named Sonst, once met me in the forest, while I was meditating. He sat by my side and had an interesting conversation about different topics. The conversation was definitely quite intense, cause, we both were quite philosophical in nature. All on a sudden, he asked, “Are you left handed?”
    I said, “yes, why?”
    He said, “me too. Do you know? We are a minority of 10% in number. I had also some left handed girlfriends.”

    Sarcastically, I asked, “how many is actually ‘some girlfriends’ to you?”

    He said, “well, let’s not open the secret. Let’s say, I were quite lucky. “


    The fact is, Sonst was not wrong about the left landed people. Yet I was relating to him as a Bangladeshi, speaking to a German guy. He was not wrong at all too. Even if I was at his place, I wouldn’t also reveal the number of ‘some’ to others.
