BENGALI GENTLEMAN GETTING CAUGHT UP on the daily news. This method saves 10 tk (15 cents) per day. He would save $3558.75 in 65 years plus interest! This was one of the sights I saw during my 5k walk yesterday. It’s not any cooler today, and it feels like the dog days of summer, as we say it in Iowa. It also feels like this year is racing on, noticing this is the 100th day of this year.

TTL’s “BANGLADESH IN FRAMES 3” PHOTO EXHIBITION is finished. It ran from March 25-29. The photo below was taken outside the gallery. I am also in the group photo on the right hand side. Look for a pale face and white hair. It may be hard to do with the spot light that was aimed at the poster plus camera flash. Day 76 has a better rendition of the group photo.
