Shubo Nobo Borsho 1418


Wow, I have been so busy at work (and admittedly, traveling) that I haven’t updated my blog in well over a month.  The year is flying by – I leave for Canada in less than two months!

Happy Bengali New Year (1418) to all.   The Bangladeshi celebrate New Year’s Day in the early morning (which I much prefer to trying to stay up past midnight).  We were invited to a block party in Danmundi.  It was quite a celebration.  Almost everyone dressed up in red and white.  They had set up a stage and had local singers and dancers perform.  The event was televised on Bangladeshi TV, and was also filmed by a crew from Canada.  They interviewed my friend Stella and her visiting Canadian friend as well.  Here are some images of the singers, dancers and crowd.
