I wish a Happy Bengali New Year to All My Friends in Bangladesh!
I confess I was busy getting my income tax report ready to file to meet tomorrow’s deadline. I guess I do have an automatic 2 month extension, but I’d rather not take it. Anyway, we heard marchers outside on the street, so I headed out and grabbed a rickshaw to catch them on Sir Sayeed Rd. Then I decided since I was out to go to Manik Mia, so I asked the rickshaw wallah to take me there (http://www.thedailystar.net/beta2/news/nation-mingles-with-baishakh-colours/) . The lanes on both sides of the median were painted the whole way from Mirpur Rd. to the circle where Manik Mia splits. It was nice to take a break and see the festive air of the city. The photo of me was taken by the rickshaw wallah!
I hope this is a great year for Bangladesh in spite of the many hartals, demonstrations, etc. recently.

Dhaka streets looked colorful yesterday with many ladies dressed in red saris! Many gift shops had loads of items such as sweetheart mugs, cards, etc. to help people celebrate Valentine’s Day. I even bought my wife a bouquet of red roses!

I THOUGHT THIS AN APPROPRIATE PHOTO SINCE THIS POST IS FOR CHRISTMAS DAY! I just figured how to post these posts ahead! It was so simple it almost jumped out and bit me. My apologies for the many posts than a lull until Christmas day. I hope I am enjoying Christmas Day in Nepal with my wife, Alice. I suspect it will be chilly, and on a cloudless day we might see snow-capped mountains.

THESE ANGELS WERE ADDED TO OUR COLLECTION OF CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS THIS YEAR. They were a gift from a friend.
