Any Bangladeshi visiting India becomes a celebrity at home, when they go back (if), their relatives, neighbours and even people from their neighbouring villages come to meet the guy and stand in queues to listen to the wonderful stories of a modern country and their modern cities with amazing things like a functioning transport system, metro rails, escalators, lifts, malls, multiplexes, highways, etc. The area around the 'foreign returned' lucky guy starts looking like a fairground, many small traders gather their and open their shops selling 'cutting tea', fried papad, salted peanuts, jilipi (jalewi), singara (samosa), khaja, goja (types of cheap sweets), bhujia, etc. Some people serve luchi/kochuri-tarkari (puri-bhaji), daal-bhat (lentil soup and rice) etc. to the waiting crowd. Some people sell lemon water, coconut water to the waiting crowd (the weather is hot most of the year), during the rainy season people sell kolapata (banana leafs), kochupata (another plant with big leafs), to waiting crowd to protect them from rain. Some people sell colorful balloons, plastic toys, wooden and clay toys, paper windmills, whistles etc. to the loitering kids coming with their parents, sometimes nagordolas (small Ferris wheels) also come! More than one million Bangladeshis visiting India create more than one million mini carnivals all over Bangladesh, every year!!
@BDforever @Anubis @Doyalbaba @Species @UKBengali @bongbang trolling aside, we are happy to give these little pleasures of life to millions of Bangladeshis every year!
Btw, I can give photos of these mini carnivals, but then I have to take permission from each of these individuals appearing in the photos, otherwise it is illegal in my country to use photos of individuals without their consent.
