BENGALI VILLAGE GIRL WATCHING CHAYLA.  It might be the first time a foreigner was visiting in this village.  Notice the girl clutching the “smarties” (candy) that Candace had given her earlier.

AN OLD BENGALI MAN gazes out the window of his village home near Munshiganj.

Day 139

WAITING FOR THE GROOM TO ENTER the reception hall, and toss glitter on him.  They even had some left and tossed it on me after I went inside.  The one young boy apologized, probably for his little sister, but I told him it was no problem.

Day 137

TEA STALL OWNER PREPARING ME A CUP OF TEA.  His stand is 50 yards from Jeremy’s apartment, and half way between us and Charles’ place!  Sweetened condensed milk, sugar, and some tea are created to make this great drink.  Maybe 3 oz. for 6 cents!  It’s a rare day that I don’t have a cup of tea.  He is wearing a lungi, which is typically what I wear most days at home in the apartment.  They are quite comfortable during these 90+ degrees days!

Day 135

YOUNG BENGALI GIRLS AT MY FRIEND ARIF’S WEDDING RECEPTION.

Not-Posed and Posed!

Caught in the Lens again!

Day 134

  This evening I attended Arif (Ariful H Bhuiyan) and Tajia’s (Salma Sultana Tajia) wedding reception.

Arif and Tajia don’t  know which camera to look at!

I had a photo taken with the Bride, since the Groom hadn’t showed  up yet!

Tajia Decked Out as Bengali Brides Usually Are!

Tajia has seen a make-up artist since Day 133!

Day 133

THIS IS TAJIA (Salma Sultana Tajia). She is marrying Arif (Ariful H Bhuiyan) and I will be attending their wedding reception tomorrow.  They are both photographers with TTL (Bangladesh Through the Lens) photo club.  This was taken at Shudipto’s (another TTLer) wedding reception last Sunday!
