National Martyr’s Day in Bangladesh gives opportunity to dress up, gather with the crowd, and of course, ice cream cones for the children, or adults!

This photo was taken in front of a wall that has Bengali language words. It is a language that I learned, (Not fluent though). I was wearing my favorite Punjabi! It is also International Mother Language Day! I am not sure whether the English or Pennsylvania Dutch language are my Mother tongue!?!

And Un-cropped

I thought this was an interesting capture! A festive occasion, which means wearing beautiful saris. It was the First Day of Spring, and Valentine’s Day, so they could choose to dress in Red or Yellow!

A special day in which people either dress in yellow or red! A festive occasion, for sure. Red would be the typical color for Valentine’s Day, and Yellow, for the First Day of Spring. These holidays fall on the same day in Bangladesh. Those days are a street photographer’s paradise!

While this lady was posing for someone else, I decided to take a photo!

The gentleman above was making me a plate of this delicious snack. At the bottom is the serving he gave me! Tasty, for sure!

These women wanted my wife and I stop and drink tea! I had stopped quite often at this tea stand over the years, so they recognized me. They hadn’t seen my wife very often, and maybe not at all. We enjoyed the visit, and the complimentary cha!
