I wish a Happy Bengali New Year to All My Friends in Bangladesh!
I confess I was busy getting my income tax report ready to file to meet tomorrow’s deadline. I guess I do have an automatic 2 month extension, but I’d rather not take it. Anyway, we heard marchers outside on the street, so I headed out and grabbed a rickshaw to catch them on Sir Sayeed Rd. Then I decided since I was out to go to Manik Mia, so I asked the rickshaw wallah to take me there (http://www.thedailystar.net/beta2/news/nation-mingles-with-baishakh-colours/) . The lanes on both sides of the median were painted the whole way from Mirpur Rd. to the circle where Manik Mia splits. It was nice to take a break and see the festive air of the city. The photo of me was taken by the rickshaw wallah!
I hope this is a great year for Bangladesh in spite of the many hartals, demonstrations, etc. recently.
