‘”HAPPY EASTER” TO ALL MY FRIENDS! Today is Easter Sunday, a holiday celebrated by Christians around the world. Easter falls on the first Sunday after the first full moon after March 21. It might also be called Resurrection Sunday. It is the day that Jesus rose from the dead after his crucifixion and burial on Good Friday!

SHUBHO NABO BARSO to all my Benglai friends. Tomorrow is Poila Baisakh, New Year’s Day in Bangladesh. It is traditional to wear red, which I am sure will be no different tomorrow.

ON EKUSHI FEBRUARY (Feb 21) holiday folks were out commemorating International Mother Tongue Language Day. Charles and his daughter, Candace were trying out hats. In reality Candace wanted a hat, and a cap salesman wanted Charles to have a cap!
LIKE FATHER, LIKE DAUGHTER!
“Pollyanna?” & her Father!
EKUSHI FEBRUARY, AND INTERNATIONAL MOTHER LANGUAGE DAY! MY WIFE, ALICE, AND I HAD our faces painted which is a tradition on holidays. We both had the Shohid Minar (language martyrs memorial) painted on our faces and Alice had the Bangladesh national flag painted on her hand. This is the day in 1952 when some students were martyred who were protesting because Pakistan didn’t want Bangla as one of the national languages. At this time Alice and I were 3 1/2 years old.
