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.

A COLLECTION OF “COMEDY” FROM OUR TEAM’S WIN IN THE BOISHAKI FOOTBALL TOURNAMENT 2012

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!
