EKUSHEY FEBRUARY AND INTERNATIONAL MOTHER LANGUAGE DAY. It is a special day of celebration in Bangladesh (which literally means Bangla Country). Here I am wearing a punjabi worn by many Bengalis for special occasions.
Note the Bangla script on the sign in the background!
HAPPY PRESIDENT’S DAY! A day in the United States which had been designated to remember George Washington, and then the name changed to include the other president’s.
I took this picture at Kamal Pasha’s wedding reception. This gentleman was a very friendly man with a pleasing personality.
Kamal's father looks more like President Lincoln than George Washington!

TUOL SLENG GENOCIDE MUSEUM, the former security office 21 in “Democratic Kampuchea” was created on orders of Pol Pot (Sa lut Sor). , in April 17, 1975. Office 21 was called S-21 and designed for detention, interrogation, inhuman torture, and killing after confession from the detainees were received and documented. Previously the area hosted Tuol Sleng Primary school and Tuol Svay Prey high school. Many rooms were converted into a set of rooms 6×4 meters each. Most prisoners were here 2-4 months, though political prisoners were held between 6-7 months. This info was from brochure at the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum.
