Varma – “Bengalis” refers to people who speak the Bengali language which is spoken in India and Bangladesh. Tagore and Sen qualify by that definition.

The term in Kuwait is “Bangali” – which even if it used to denote Bangladeshis – is a unfortunate stereotype as many are not uneducated.

Les… Rabindranath Tagore and Amartya Sen are Indians not Bangladeshis.

Guys.. something to thing about… “Bengalis can’t speak English” is an inaccurate generalization that’s probably based on the large workforce of mostly Bangaldeshi cleaners that are employed in Kuwait.

A large number if Bengalis are well educated people. Three of them have won Nobel Prizes!

“The Bengali poet and novelist, Rabindranath Tagore, became the first Nobel laureate from Asia when he won the 1913 Nobel Prize in Literature. Other Bengali Nobel laureates include Amartya Sen (1999 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences) and Muhammad Yunus (2006 Nobel Peace Prize).”

Now I’m not Bengali – but just saying…

they had to clear their stock. their sales are sh*t despite their discounts so leave the coffee maker on before you close shop for the night. short circuit causes fire, sprinkler system minimizes damage to neighboring stores, get a phat insurance check. make money money money

I think they say today morning in Canada or something. Canadians are weird with language.

Yeah Mark, stop saying today morning, it sounds retarded. Would you say today evening I went to the cinema? Exactly! It sounds like a Bengali speaking English.

Good day :)

I guess the sprinkler did their job.

hilaliya:

Each store is responsible for doing their electrical work. Each store has its own circuit breaker. It looks like the electrical fire was localized to that store and probably cause by their own system.
