HERE IS A BENGALI MAN MAKING nan ruti. I ate here this morning and had a piece of this with spicy dal and veggies, as I do 4-6 days a week. This “hotel” is called “Green Hotel. Sometimes I bring the food home as well.
VEGETABLE STAND IS BEING SET UP FOR THE DAY’S SALES in Town Hall Market, Mohammadpur.
TTLER ADDA AT THE DHANMONDI RABINDRA SHOROBOR. I found this definition for an adda: A common place where close friends hangout. Its usually close to the college they attend and generally convenient for the rest of the boys to get there.
Its usually a bakery, Coffee day, restaurant or small shops run by frustrated people or nice people.
For this adda we just hung around the outside ampitheater and chatted, ate chanachur and drank ginger tea. We sometimes have photo addas where we critique each others photos.
