- I was born in a remote village during my country's liberation war in 1971. At that time Bangladesh was called East Pakistan. I was born in August, and in December we won liberation. Three years later I was living in England, growing up in the City of Bradford. There was only one problem: I hated all things Bengali. I did. I wanted to be like the English girls in my school, able to go out here and there, go to a friend's, have a friend over for dinner. Be normal, do normal things. Not wear a headscarf all day and make tea for the old Bengali women my mum liked hanging out with. Are u kidding me? I hated all that crap. So just before I was about to turn 15 in 1985, I ran away with my boyfriend, Idris, who, by the way, was Pakistani, a no-no in our culture. He said we could go to Pakistan and get married. "Okay," I said. "Let's go." But my dad had other plans. He saw me walking around the city centre one day with Idris and chased him with a pocketknife. He had a pocketknife! Do u believe it? "Run!"

After all, it was the least I could do after upsetting him when I ran away. Well, to make a long story short, after we got to my uncle's place in Bangladesh, they took my passport and told me they were marrying me off, that an older man had offered a good dowry for me and that they had accepted. "What?" I said. "What are you talking about? I thought you said we'd only be gone 2 weeks?" "Don't worry," my mum said. "As soon as you get married you can come back." Well, as it turned out, that didn't happen. I did get married but never got to go back. Luckily I won the visa lottery for America (thank God for America) when I turned 19, otherwise I'd still be stuck there. In general, I have a - Happy-go-lucky view on life. Even though my dad misspelled my name when he applied for our British visas by leaving off the c.
