Day 105

MY FAVORITE PHOTO from the New Year’s Day celebration in Bangladesh.

PAHELA BAISHAKH (Bengali New Year – 1417), ( was celebrated in Dhaka.  The festivities started at sunrise.  I first played a football match and then headed to Ramna Park, followed by Dhaka University.  At Ramna Park this group of Drama Club members welcomed me into their tent, where I enjoyed Panta Bhat (rice soaked in water) with hilsha fry (national fish), and alu chop.  They helped to make it a special day for me.
