Why the arctic Bong?

For those of you who don't know, a "bong" is a bengali. The name arctic Bong is the name of a displaced bengali in the arctic Scandinavia. I was born in Sweden, and for a long time considered my self to be a swede. But the older I got, the more I started to feel I was something else. Instead of trying to fit in I wanted to highlight the differences, I took pride, not necessarily in my bengali roots, but because I was a cosmopolitan.
