Two words that mean four different things in two countries. In the US of course they refer to devices used to smoke certain leaves, and a derogatory word for homosexuals. In India they refer to Bengalis and Cigarettes.
I had a Bengali roommate before and that guy was a chimney. I never saw him without a fa ... a cigarette in his mouth. And now my new colleague at work is a Bengali and he's a big smoker as well. What is with people from that state? Well this Bengali is a huge improvement over the previous one in many ways. This one actually seems to like humans and doesn't creep them out. Huge step up. The only thing is he's much younger than I am, the kid just graduated from college with a Bachelor's degree. Incredible that we share the same work title.

don't you miss your previous roommate:-) He is like a big lion in a den but that sounds more like a complement.
