INTERRUPTED NAP
Halim’s Brother-in-law checks to see who is walking by his window. All of his relatives were very friendly. A few didn’t want their photos taken.
YOUNG GIRL
This young girl is a niece of the tea-stand operator I spent the afternoon with last Friday.
HALIM a 29 yr-old young man I play football with. He invited me to his teastand and house today. I had an enjoyable six hours with him. Here he is giving me a cup of tea.
LUNGI and my favorite t-shirt. After yesterday’s photo showing the out-of-focus spools of thread used in lungi making I thought I should follow-up with a photo showing how a lung is worn. It is never worn by women. It does resemble a wrap-around skirt, but with no ends to the skirt (basically a length of fabric with the ends sewed together.
SAFE in the arms of the Father or Grandfather. This youngster soon fell asleep when the bus left Dhaka to go to Joypara.
WATER
Since we were without water in our apartment building since last evening I thought this photo from our Easter weekend trip to Joypara would be fitting.
