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.
MY FRIEND CHARLES’ MOTHER!
Today I went for a followup visit to the hospital, and the OP orthopedic Dr. looked at my previous x-ray and said my ankle is not broken! After 4-6 days I will go in to have the cast taken off and re-examined!
AT THE DRIK GALLERY LEAVING with a rickhsaw. Ingrid, my friend and physiotherapist making sure I use proper procedure in getting on and off of a rickshaw.
INGRID MILLER AND I STANDING with the photo of mine that accepted to be a part of the TTL “Bangladesh in Frames III” exhibit at Drik Gallery, in Dhanmondi, Dhaka, Bangladesh from March 25-29. Ingrid is a friend and physio therapist who met me at the gallery to show me how to properly get up on a rickshaw and down. She was expecting me to arrive on a CNG, so was surprised to see me on a rickshaw before she taught me how. I did confess that I had already gotten up on a rickshaw, went to the vegetable market to buy veggies, and came home and got off the rickshaw. We tried several methods but she admitted that the way I was doing was probably the best way. I suspect in physiotherapy schools they don’t teach techniques on how to get up on a rickshaw unless the school would be CRP in Savar, Bangladesh!! Actually it was my wife’s good idea on how to get into a microbus (van), which she gave me yesterday on our trip to the India border. Ingrid also helped assist and give me ideas as I negotiated the steps to the different galleries at Drik. Notice the shirt which I received as a gift because one of my photos was accepted!

EKUSHI FEBRUARY, AND INTERNATIONAL MOTHER LANGUAGE DAY! MY WIFE, ALICE, AND I HAD our faces painted which is a tradition on holidays. We both had the Shohid Minar (language martyrs memorial) painted on our faces and Alice had the Bangladesh national flag painted on her hand. This is the day in 1952 when some students were martyred who were protesting because Pakistan didn’t want Bangla as one of the national languages. At this time Alice and I were 3 1/2 years old.
MY FRIEND HALIM STANDING IN FRONT OF ONE OF THE MANY STRUCTURES GREETING visitors entering Dhaka for the ICC World Cup Cricket 2011. It has parts of each of the 14 participating countries represented on a cricket bat. Today Bangladesh is playing India. For both teams this is almost as important as the finals. In a previous World Cup Bangladesh upset India and India is hoping for paybacks today.
