PAINTERS AT WORK on the wall and on my face and hand!   I attended the annual Boi Mela (Book Fair) organized by the Bangla Academy on the last day of the month long Mela.  They had many painters who were ready to paint the national flag, map or minar.  My hand was done free when I ran into the painter I had met earlier but didn’t ask to have any painting done.  He insisted on doing my hand at no charge!
