AIRPORT TRAIN STATION IN DHAKA, BANGLADESH
ON THE 15TH WE LEFT IN THE MORNING FOR OUR EVENING FLIGHT TO BANGKOK BECAUSE OF MANY ROADS BEING CLOSED DUE TO THE BISHWA-IJTEMA which is held in Tongi North of the of the airport. When we told the police we were going to the airport they let us pass through the barricade. There were many people walkingt in the direction of the airport. Near there were van garis trying to get passengers to go on to the Ijtema.

EID MUBARAK TO ALL MY MUSLIM FRIENDS! Ramadan is over, and back to a normal eating and sleeping schedule. Of course this is after a day of celebrating today! Going to a friend’s house, or inviting someone over for an Eid meal. A special day with special people and with some special food.

MAY DIBOSH! MAY DAY HOLIDAY TODAY IN BANGLADESH! In countries other than the United States and Canada, resident working classes sought to make May Day an official holiday and their efforts largely succeeded. For this reason, in most of the world today, May Day is marked by massive street rallies led by workers, their trade unions, anarchists and various communist and socialist parties.
In the United States, however, the official Federal holiday for the “working man” is Labor Day in September. This day was promoted by the Central Labor Union and the Knights of Labor organized the first parade in New York City. The first Labor Day celebration was held on September 5, 1882, and was organized by the Knights of Labor. The Knights began holding it every year and called for it to be a national holiday, but this was opposed by other labor unions who wanted it held on May Day (as it is everywhere else in the world). After the Haymarket Square riot in May, 1886, President Cleveland feared that commemorating Labor Day on May 1 could become an opportunity to commemorate the riots. Thus he moved in 1887 to support the Labor Day that the Knights supported. FACEBOOK entry by Shaherin Arafat
