I MET THIS GENTLEMAN AT NILKHET near Newmarket.
TANVIR’S BRIDE! Tanvir was on a football team I play with on Friday and Saturday mornings.
YOUNG GIRL must have skinned her knee while playing and was trying to give it good nursing care.
YOUNG LADY walking through the market area. I loved the hat!
DUSTIN PONDERING the next chess move. Him and I played many games of chess while vacationing in Darjeeling.
DUSTIN, our youngest son caught in a great pose!
THE THINKER! I am thinking it was cold in Darjeeling and soon after returning to Bangladesh, it turned cold here as well. Of course, we feel it because the only heat we have is the gas burners or oven! These last 10 days (today is actually Jan 22) I have worn this hat at times indoors.
WOMEN WAITING FOR SOMEONE at the Mirpur 1 Mazar in Dhaka.
WHERE DID THEY GET TO? We got off of the bus together, but with photos to take, etc. The three ladies in the front got to New Market long before we did! It seemed like all of Dhaka was near New Market doing pre-Eid shopping!
BABY JOSIAH being dedicated to the Lord yesterday.
FAKIR at Mirpur 1 Mazar. A fakir or faqir is a Sufi, especially one who performs feats of endurance or apparent magic. Another fakir who seemed more friendly invited me to come back at 7:30 pm for the “iftar” (breaking the fast). The mazar is a place where a Muslim saint was buried and a shrine has been built. Many people come here making wishes and then give alms to the poor, including the fakirs. It also has turned into a place where young street workers hang out.
