Almost all those who live abroad, especially in North America, dream of owning a house. It seems that they come abroad to buy a house. The feeling is as if they have never lived in a house. As if others live on the streets. In their dreams, imaginations, meditations, knowledge, present, and future, there is nothing but home. Home when walking on the street, home when driving in a car, home on the bus, home in a train, home in a shopping mall, home in a coffee shop, home in the washroom, home in a chat, home at a party. I have seen that when people go to a party, those who have a house sit separately and engage in long discussions about the house.
They talk about all the problems that they have at home. They talk about the same things even while eating. One of the aspects of the discussion is about the basement rent, how the tenants are, how the landlords are. Many people buy a house and get into huge debt. They give their lives to pay off the mortgage. Then they cannot go anywhere and cannot enjoy life. Once I went to a house in Toronto to see the bride and groom, to discuss with the bride’s parents. My mother only talked about the house the whole time I was there. She even forced me to see every bathroom. There was no more talk about the bride until the end. There are many such stories. They can be told later.
It’s not that you can’t buy a house. Of course you can. You can buy a hundred times, a thousand times. There is no problem if you buy one or ten houses. There is no problem if you talk about the house, chat about it, or have a house in your bed and dream about it. Who doesn’t dream of a house? Everyone does. I see it too. How important it is to have your own shelter. A house is also a good investment. A safe investment. A shelter for the future.
That is why money launderers from Bangladesh and other countries buy houses. It is one of the ways to turn black money into white. It is also available in the country. There are flats worth twenty, twenty-five crore taka. These are bought in cash. Some people even have twenty flats in Dhaka. Money launderers abroad do not approach banks. They buy them directly with cash. Houses worth five, ten, fifteen, twenty, twenty-five million dollars are near Dal Bhat Oder. Where the middle class struggles to raise one or one and a half million for a house, for them a house is just a toy. That is why Trudeau is in this situation. The fall of a hero for the crisis that has arisen over immigration and housing. The fall of a woman’s crush!
Buy a house, buy a car, increase your property, chat, travel as much as you can, organize events, sing, read poems, write stories and novels, organize associations, hold seminars, do politics, form factions, form groups, have picnics, have pitha parties, hold fashion shows, do business, take selfies, post as many pictures as you want, go live, make reels, do YouTube. There is no problem anywhere. Just one request, give your children time. Be by their side, try to understand their minds, be their friends. Take them to social events. Try to find out what kind of friends they mix with. Don’t force anything.
I will conclude with an incident. Many years ago, in the area where I live, the police took a little girl from a Bengali family one day. The girl probably had made some complaint against her parents. She was in their custody for many years. When she turned eighteen, the girl was freed. But she never returned to her parents. One day, I heard that the girl committed suicide. This trend is increasing. Whoever goes knows what he has lost! So be careful, saints! Remember, your child is bigger than your device or your home!
