This photo was taken in front of a wall that has Bengali language words. It is a language that I learned, (Not fluent though). I was wearing my favorite Punjabi! It is also International Mother Language Day! I am not sure whether the English or Pennsylvania Dutch language are my Mother tongue!?!
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.
