I VISITED THE SHAH JALAL MAZAR in Syhlet yesterday. This is a shrine for the Muslim Saint Hazrat Shah Jalal. Here is a Muslim Bengali feeding the pigeons. Here is what I found at “Yahoo Answers.”
There was a man who was very poor, he could not afford anything. His business was poor. Despite all he would feed hungry birds, with scraps of food left over. And because the birds were so hungry and so grateful, they would thank the man for giving them food. And so in re-turn the birds prayed to Allah over and over again that the man would become richer! and luckier. Allah heard the birds prayers and slowly the man became richer and richer with strokes of luck! And his business was extremely successfull!!
My mum told me this story, basically the birds pray for you and thank you for feeding their empty stomachs! 😀
Feeding the Pigeons
Lots of grain for lots of pigeons!

I ALMOST FEEL AS FREE AS A BIRD! Yesterday the doctor took off my cast and confirmed that my ankle wasn’t broken. I have some slight pain with a lot of weight on that foot, but I’ve discarded the crutches.

JAHANGIRNAGAR UNIVERSITY
We went to see the winter birds and were pleasantly surprised when we realized they had their Paki Mela (Bird Fair) the same day.

THIS ROOSTER WAS OUR ALARM CLOCK while at Hotel Lumbung Damuh in Bali, Indonesia! His is in the little yard just beside the steps that led up to our lumbung. The lumbung was on pillars, and we were served our tea and meals under it.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING DAY to all my American friends. I know my Canadian friends have long ago digested their Thanksgiving meals! I know these aren’t turkeys, but turkeys are expensive in Bangladesh. I think they might cost $70! I haven’t checked lately, and my memory isn’t what it used to be. Hopefully I’m not exaggerating! These are some ducks at Halim’s place. Today us fellows on the team are cooking the meal for the ladies. The menu is a secret, so I won’t disclose it until later! Have a great day!
MY DEAR SWEETHEART, “Walking in the Rain,”being watched by the ducks! We enjoyed our trip to Mymensingh visiting different MCC projects.
