- Even though I studied all my life in English-schools, the one year I spent in a Bangla-medium school for Class 1 had quite an impact on me (School name: Hatey Khori, Unofficial Slogan: Hatey Khori - Golay Dori, Location: Agrabad R/A, Chittagong). Thats because that was the year I learnt my times tables. I am more accustomed to 'dui duguna chaar' than 'two times two is four'. Even though I cracked numbers in English all through since class 2... i always did the maths in my head in Bangla!

- I am more accustomed to the 24-Hour clock! I always respond better to 2200 than 10:00 pm! I think the whole 'pm-am' thing is the reason for this. I do just fine without it!
