My Sweet Wife of 43 years and I!

 

OUR TEAM DID WIN THE FOOTBALL TOURNAMENT ON SATURDAY EVENING, with Masum scoring a goal in each of the overtime periods!

THIS FELLOW WANTED ME TO TAKE A PHOTO OF HIM AND HIS FRIEND.  AFTER MY CAMERA GAVE ME ERRORS SEVERAL TIMES THEY SEEM TO BE JUST STARING INTO THE LENS.  I WAS STANDING IN THE STREET SO MAYBE HE WAS LOOKING OUT FOR MY SAFETY ON ZAKIR HOSSAIN RD!

IS THAT CAMERA EVER GOING TO WORK, SO I CAN QUIT POSING?

I WAS INVITED TO THIS FINALS MATCH (Pardon me, cricket players if there is another name for the event! 🙂  )  My cricket terminology is not the best.  Anyway this boy seemed to enjoy this opportunity.  Here are some shots of him in action, or waiting for action.

THIS YOUNG BOY, WHO LIKELY LIVES IN THE BIHARI CAMP NEAR TOWN HALL IS A LIKEABLE BOY!

He must spend a lot of time at the playing field where our football tournament is being held.  He was playing with a spinning top toy one evening, so I sent him to buy me one. I gave him 20 tk, since he said it would cost 8 tk.  He came back later with the top.  It looked like a used one with a new string used to make it spin.  I told him to keep the change. Later he showed up with a small pack of fried potato chips and shared them with me.  They would have cost him 5 tk.

We did win our semi-finals game 2-0, but I thought I would wait till later to post some of the football photos. The first point was on a penalty kick soon after the second half started.  Later there was a nice combination of passing which outwitted the goalkeeper!

Friendly Boy With Big Eyes!

JOSHUA AND NIC TAKING A CLOSE LOOK AT THE COINS AT DHAMRAI METAL CRAFTS. The children were going to buy some of the old coins.  Sukanta’s wife decided to treat the children, so she gave them the coins as a gift.  Some were stamped with Queen Victoria, and some King George V!

THIS COIN IS OLDER THAN GRANDPA!
