Took a short pause from work today to just admire these photos from our last trip before the world was brought to its knees by COVID-19.
For two whole weeks, we got to know our family in Bangladesh and soaked in the local culture as much as we could while integrating into the hustle and bustle of Dhaka life.
Shortly after taking this photo, Bobby, Rubbi (our cousin) and I went to a tea stand and enjoyed a nice cha time with the ever-friendly local folks.
My Doodh Cha (Bengali Milk Tea) tasted particularly aromatic as they were meticulously brewed all day with tea leaves and spices. The mood was positively heightened as we went for a second cup of tea while indulging in some jilapi (a delicious light fritter dipped in a sugar syrup).
The power of good grub. Hehe!
Time to unplug too, belles and beaus! Keep swiping to take a walk through Dhaka's enchanting streets with me.

~~ 1971.03.26 ~~
On this very day, 50 years ago, a nation was born out of strife and turbulence.
Her name is BANGLADESH, which means “Land of Bengal”.
The birth story of Bangladesh is not all that glorious. It’s cruel, it’s bloody, and it’s heartbreaking.
Every year, the March 26 brings the most tragic reminiscence of our history’s blackest episode that initiated a nine-month bloody war against Pakistan from the night of March 25, 1971. Almost 3 million Bangladeshi people died, and 3,00,000 women were raped during this war.
On the fateful night of 25th March 1971, the Pakistani military junta launched the “Operation Searchlight” and mercilessly killed the Bangalee members of East Pakistan Rifles and police, students and teachers as well as thousands of common people in Dhaka city. This day in Bangladesh is marked as the “Genocide Remembrance Day”.
In the wake of the military crackdown, Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, who became the undisputed leader of the then Pakistan following the massive victory of his party, Awami League, in the 1970 general elections, declared the independence of Bangladesh through the then East Pakistan Rifles wireless at 00-30 am on March 26 in 1971.
And this is how a sovereign was born. After 9 months gruesome war, our beloved freedom fighters secured the victory on 16th December 1971. When the Pakistani Armies realized they wouldn’t win this battle, they abducted 200 Bangladeshi intellectuals including professors, doctors, engineers, directors, writers, artists, journalists on 14th December 1971. They never came back to their families as they were executed en masse.
The birth history of Bangladesh is not just a year long. It’s been instigated at the time when government of Pakistan tried to take away our right to speak in Bengali in 1951. Since then too much blood has been shredded to finally get our independence from Pakistan. It’s literally impossible to capture the whole history in such little space. If you are interested to know more, I would recommend you few books on our liberation war.

Video Title: Why Japan's Great Pyramid of Giza Can't be Built Until 2110
"London. October, 1992. A Japanese man entered a government building near Chancery Lane, and made his way up to an office on the first floor. This was the London branch of the UK’s Patent Office. You see, this man was there on behalf of Japan’s renowned Shimizu Corporation - a leading architectural and engineering firm that was (and is) among the top in the world, and he was there to apply for a patent. To secure their ideas globally it was necessary to apply not just in Japan. Now this particular patent was for no ordinary idea. It was for something grand, something spectacular. The idea was to build giant pyramids in the middle of some of the largest and busiest urban centers in the world - starting with Tokyo. These infrastructures would be so large, they could house entire cities. But why? What was this for? And who exactly is the Shimizu Corporation? To understand this, we need to go back in time, back over 200 years ago to the company’s inception..."

Video Title: The $1,000,000,000 North Korean Bank Heist
"Bangladesh, February 7th, 2016. The director of the Bangladesh Central Bank got off the elevator on the ninth floor, and headed to the back office of the Accounts and Budgeting Department. This was the most restricted part of the building. He was there to deal with a problem,m one that had been plaguing the office the last few days. You see, the printer wasn’t working, and this was kind of a big deal. It was causing a real disruption. The automated printer, which was hooked up to the bank’s software, was supposed to work round the clock 24/7, printing out the bank’s transaction reports in real-time. Due to this technical glitch however, the printer tray remained empty. Much of the day was spent trying to fix the issue;,and after a great deal of effort there was success. They were able to restart the printer. And so the backlog of transaction reports started rolling out, one by one. Now, it soon became apparent that something wasn’t quite right. There were more statements than expected..."
