Nation Mingles with Baishakh Colours

[eastwatch]

I said festivities, not festival. Eid from what I have seen is a solemn affair where people greet after prayer and go eat some damn tasty food (I am always invited!!) but its not a song and dance parade

No, not exactly that we do not celebrate Eid in other ways. Usually, we arrange Eid Reunion Party on some day after the day of rituals, where songs and dances may also be performed. So, somehow we have found a way to bypass too strict laws. In case of Iftar, we usually arrange an Iftar Party and invite people of all religions.

Even Indian High Commissioner and other non-Muslim Ambassadors in Dhaka also organize Iftar Parties. These are all get together and social parties. But, since Iftar parties are called during Ramazan, no cultural program is tolerated. However, I do not know what the muslims living in countries in and west of India do in their respective countries. I believe Muslims in these countries follow the rituals too strictly.

Iftar parties are quite fashionable in India. But yes I've not seen any cultural programs there.

baba went to the bajar to buy ilish, 2 ilish was priced at tk 18000....so he came home called me to buy ilish and bring to dhaka from canada

We bought 4 just one week before Nababarsho from a home vendor.....can you guess the price? It cost tk 650 all together though small sized but size doesn't matter. Buying one with 6000-9000 tk is illogical.

My uncle is a fish exporter, so we almost don't have to buy fish. We get all variety of fish from small to large size for free (Arei koi mamu). But the irony is i only eat Hilsha & shrimp .

Next Pohela Boishakh we're invited to your house !

I don't compromise when it comes to sharing Hilsha & Shrimp.
