Noakhali? :-)
Love your blog and stories. Saw your recent post about being asked if you were married, why don't you have your nose pierced.
I encountered a similar query when I went to India. Found that a nose stud are not just the recent trend that’s growing continuously, but they have been associated with Indian history since inception. Traditionally, the left side of the nose is to be pierced according to Indian tradition. Working for a NGO, I got my nose pierced and was much more accepted amongst the populace for embracing their culture and traditions.
Don't know if you ever considered a nose piercing, but the professional world is slowly becoming more multicultural and hence there is more acceptance of what is not the norm on a global scale. It is not just an expression of beauty. However, if you have your nose pierced, promise you will more than extrude confidence with your diamond nose stud. Surprisingly, nose piercing are also symbol of beauty, social status and sign of feminism and womanhood.
Will love reading if you follow local customs and gain greater acceptance as I did once I got my nose pierced too.
