I wanted to take the picture of the sun… but don’t know why,
it showing blank in the sky.

We went to Poush mela (traditional Bangla winter fair) at Ramana Park, Dhaka. We mean
me, Shafeen (my 4 years old son), my youngest sister Shekha, her husband Ashiq
and their daughter Dia. Before reaching the park Shafeen showed the park from
CNG and informed us that this was his school when he was a kid (generally on
way I show him this was my school, this was collage etc, and he wanted to do
that too)!
In “Poush mela” first we saw a stage, where children were
getting ready for performance and long sitting arrangements for the visitor.
Beside that U shape line for the stalls, where mostly Pitha (Bangladeshi traditional cake)
was introduced for the visitors. Some of them were making pitha in the stall. Some
came with jelly, aachar
(preserved food and vegetables), bed cover, cushion cover, chatpati etc.
We tasted different pitha and enjoyed the songs. I like some
old Bangla songs. Like “Mothu maloti dake aaye...” with some traditional folk
songs like “takdhum takdhum bajay Bangladesher dhol…” etc.
Then we went to Ramna restaurant garden, where children
played on grass. They wanted to remove fence around a tree because they
believed tree shouldn’t be in any cage. A cure little girl joined our family to
do this job. Other children also joined with these kids in playing (actually
running).
Shafeen found a bike in the mela (fair), I asked the rider
to let my son ride. They (a guy with a little girl) agreed, so Shafeen (then Dia
followed his brother) sit on the bike.
