EKUSHEY FEBRUARY AND INTERNATIONAL MOTHER LANGUAGE DAY.  It is a special day of celebration in Bangladesh (which literally means Bangla Country).   Here I am wearing a punjabi worn by many Bengalis for special occasions.

Note the Bangla script on the sign in the background!

2012 Day 51

HAPPY PRESIDENT’S DAY!  A day in the United States which had been designated to remember George Washington, and then the name changed to include the other president’s.

I took this picture at Kamal Pasha’s wedding reception.  This gentleman was a very friendly man with a pleasing personality.

  

Kamal's father looks more like President Lincoln than George Washington!
