Decoration with light.

Bangladesh's national fish is Hilsha. I guess somebody made that with lights.

 Street lighting decoration in Bangladesh isn't very new. People used to decorate with lighting when they had a marriage ceremony at home. It was a bit expensive. Then the government used to decorate the cities with lights on Independence Day or Victory Day. Then on Eid days and other occasions. With time, this has become an art.

Biography 319: Outside food vs homemade food.


 I believe outside food (the opposite of homemade food) from anywhere in the world is not healthy, no matter how expensive it is. Not even the street food, which is made fresh in front of you. Because they prepared the ingredients a long time ago, sometimes they don't clean thoroughly; sometimes workers may not handle it properly, mix it with old food, or don't take sufficient steps to preserve all nutrients, etc.

When I was a kid, my parents used to take us to big restaurants for special occasions. But as far as I remember, I never liked it.

Later, when I was in school, I started liking outside food because it was tasty. After starting my own life (separated from my parents), I have started liking outdoor food more. Because then I don't have to cook, and it is tastier and has more variety than mine.

In my dating era, I used to find different beautiful fast-food restaurants and enjoy various kinds of food. They were tasty.

Nowadays, my choices are changing again. I now prefer homemade food. Homemade food is tastier, more nutritious, and saves money than outside food. When someone offers food, I always want homemade. But I prefer to eat outdoors because I don't want to put any pressure on them. And I always bring leftovers home. The first reason is that I don't want to waste a single drop of food. The second reason is that, because of those leftovers, I don't have to cook at home for some time, because I will live on them. I need that break.
