Biography 221: Chanachur mixes with colleagues.

 One day, Taniya and Sharmy invited me to Taniya's house. It was a get-together type invitation. Some more people were with us, like Rumu. All were from Sharmy's group. I had good relations with Sharmy and Taniya on those days, so they may have invited me too.

As usual, I was the first person to reach her apartment. It was a beautiful house, and Taniya was great at decorating it. 

Sharmy took the initiative to make snakes (Chanachur Makhano) for us. She cut the onions/shallots into thin slices, then the tomatoes in the same way and put them in the same bowl. Sharmy was saying she made the same food for her family, too. But the tomato was rotten, so the whole preparation flopped.

Then she mixed them with chanachur, green chilli, salt, and coriander leaves. It tasted amazing. It was a beautiful day out. We talked, laughed, and discussed many things, including careers. It was an amazing moment.

Later, I tried to make Chanachur mix like that but failed. I need Sharmy to teach me again. I think she is living in Australia now.

Biography 213: Lunch group

 One of our colleagues found a small restaurant, "Capital," just beside our office. It had good food and a good seating arrangement with AC, which is very important in Bangladesh because of its hot and humid weather. I found online that it has become a bigger restaurant.

Then, about 6/8 people started going there every day. It's good for us that we don't have to carry our food every day; this way, a small, good group develops. We had connections even when we started working in different offices. We used to help each other, visit each other, and get together and celebrate for any reason. The names that were more frequently joined us were Tuheen, Romel, Karim Ali, Moshiur, Ershad, Rajib and Tania. Others also joined but not regularly.

Later, for different reasons, distances were created between each person. But I must say we all have good souls. Now, we live on different continents. I wish them all the best.
