HERE IS A LADY WHO QUITE OFTEN TRIES TO CONVINCE ME SHE NEEDS SOME MONEY FOR FOOD OR CLOTHING!

The question is whether to give or not to give!

EKUSHEY FEBRUARY AND INTERNATIONAL MOTHER LANGUAGE DAY.  It is a special day of celebration in Bangladesh (which literally means Bangla Country).   Here I am wearing a punjabi worn by many Bengalis for special occasions.

Note the Bangla script on the sign in the background!

2012 Day 40

LOOKING FOR SARUS CRANE SOUTH OF THE ANG TRAPAENG THMOR RESERVOIR in Cambodia.  The guide said I should wear a long-sleeved shirt. I went to buy the night before going out and I like this white shirt so I bought it, with some hesitation.  He was kind of shocked because it would make it difficult to sneak up on Eld deer or Sarus Crane in a white shirt!  I had a long-sleeved shirt with me to wear for arrival in Bangladesh but thought it too thick for Cambodia.  I also noticed in the morning it was very similar to the guide’s shirt! I put on the driver’s police jacket to help cover the bright white shirt.  So it goes.

2012 Day 7

I ATTENDED KAMAL PASHA’S WEDDING RECEPTION TODAY!  I had attended his Guy Holud on Thursday.  His bride, Hasina B Halim Pretty also had a Guy Holud and wedding which I was unable to attend.  I think Hasina is the first person I have chatted online with and then met in person.  She just returned this Winter from London.  It was a fun wedding to be at, with many TTLers attending.  Besides eating great Bengali food, people sitting with the Bride and Groom for photos is the main highlight of a Bengali Muslim wedding reception.

This was my first glimpse of Hasina, my friend Kamal's bride as she entered the Chowdury Community Centre for Kamal's wedding reception.!
