Day 113

‘”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!

HERE IS  A PHOTO OF THE SUNRISE over the Parliament Building in Dhaka, Bangladesh.

FRIENDS ENJOYING NEW YEAR’S DAY by sitting by the canal.

Day 108

FATHER AND SON ENJOYING PAHELA BOISHAKH at the Chandrima Uddan.

Day 107

ON PAHELA BAISHAKH NOT EVERYONE was dressed in red and other bright colors.

This woman and her son were scavenging for recyclable items to sell.  When he saw me talking a photo he quick told her, so she turned around and faced me. 

This man probably was dressed in his finest, since that is probably he owned.  I suppose it kept him warm at night and kept the sun from beating on his body during the day.  He probably thought the New Year’s Day celebrators might share with him!
