CHARLES HELPING HIS DAUGHTER, CANDACE along the muddy trail leading to the village homes.
Category: Friends
CINDY, WITH CHAYLA, HER MOM BEHIND HER, AND FATHER BESIDE HER, walking to a village near Munshiganj. Several hours of rainfall during our journey, turned the trail into mud.
This evening I attended Arif (Ariful H Bhuiyan) and Tajia’s (Salma Sultana Tajia) wedding reception.
Arif and Tajia don’t know which camera to look at!
I had a photo taken with the Bride, since the Groom hadn’t showed up yet!
Tajia Decked Out as Bengali Brides Usually Are!
Tajia has seen a make-up artist since Day 133!
THIS IS TAJIA (Salma Sultana Tajia). She is marrying Arif (Ariful H Bhuiyan) and I will be attending their wedding reception tomorrow. They are both photographers with TTL (Bangladesh Through the Lens) photo club. This was taken at Shudipto’s (another TTLer) wedding reception last Sunday!
TTLER’s ENJOYING SHUDIPTO’s WEDDING reception.
WHERE’S THE BRIDE? She’s hid behind the photographer on the right. I guess that is what happens when a photographer gets married and invites the whole club to the wedding! Poor Bride! Of course this event is basically one big photo-op with a great meal.
GROOM IS WORKING ON CAMERA SETTINGS before taking photos of his bride. That’s what happens when you marry a photographer! Of course these Bengali weddings are not quite like the American ones. This is basically a wedding reception, where everyone comes and many get their photo taken with the bride, and get a great meal, visit and leave. Shudipto is a real gentleman and should make a great husband.
Shudipto and His Bride!
HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY TO MY MOTHER and all the other great Mother’s who check out this site!
Tonight I attended a wedding of Shudipto, a TTL club photographer. He had invited all the TTLr’s from Dhaka to his wedding reception.
Of course then you would see action like this wouldn’t you, with both the bride and groom behind the lens? It was a fun evening with great Bengali food! All the typical wedding food including curried chicken, fish and beef. They also served my favorite drink, borhani!
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
