These guys are my sons, which makes me a Father!! 🙂

My father taught me how to plow, paint, fish, and hunt! My grandfather Ananias Beachy taught me a love for the outdoors. My grandfather, Christ S. Miller (Seed Corn Christ) taught me the love for travel and family history!

I’ll probably have to pay for this one, but I had to post it.  I’m not sure if the husband approves!  Thanks for coming to see the exhibition!

BOLI KHELA (WRESTLING)

I HEARD MUSIC AND ANNOUNCEMENTS THE SECOND DAY SO I RETURNED TO THE VILLAGE TO SEE THE BOLI KHELA.  This time there were young men wrestling, so the information I had at first was accurate.  They must have decided to also add some bull fighting to give the two day festival some variety.  Here is a description of  the Boli Khela:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boli_Khela

Boli Khela (or Bali Khela) (Bengali: বলীখেলা) is a traditional form of wrestling in Bangladesh, particularly popular in the Chittagong area. Boli means a powerful person in Bengali, while Khela denotes a game. It is particularly played in the month of Chaitra (March-April in the Bangla Calendar).[1] A festival usually takes place on the 25th of April in the port city Chittagong at the Laldighi Maidan attracts thousands of supporters each year.  Wikipedia
