But topic of the gossip is varying from one country to another because of the culture, social status, lifestyle etc. In general, gossip involves the creation and repetition of rumors regarding an individual who is not present to share his or her opinion under discussion. In Bangladesh, people do gossip just passing their time with friends, family member and others. It just an idle talk or rumor, about the personal or private affairs of others or any other topic like fun topic, latest topic, personal topic etc. In our country, urban areas people do gossip mainly on phone, university campus, home, restaurant, work place etc and in rural area people do gossip at local market, tea stall etc. There are many topics for gossiping but the topic of gossiping is varying from person to person and place to place.
