Thought of the day (73)

You don't know where you will meet your next friend! I was at the local mall with my daughter and so was she. My daughter saw her little girl and started running... I followed. Shan and I struck a conversation as our daughters talked with each other in their own baby language. We exchanged phone numbers... that was in July.

Yesterday, we attended that little girl's second birthday party. There weren't many guests - Shan's mother, her in-laws and us. We had a lovely time. Shan and her family are vegetarians - they are the only white Americans I know who are vegetarians! After coming back from Shan's house yesterday afternoon I thought of becoming a vegetarian, too! (Although I just ate both fish and meat for lunch!) But I hope to eat less meat in the future! After meeting with her, I have become more health conscious than before. I already had a habit of reading food labels, but since knowing Shan, I have been reading these labels with even greater attention!

It's strange how total strangers can become our friends in a very short time. We really don't know when and where we will meet our next friend...

We commonly associate patriotism with military service, as those who serve in the armed forces are ever-ready to sacrifice their lives for the nation. Patriotism is also closely linked to politics and politicians. However, ordinary people can be equally or almost equally patriotic, too; we witnessed ordinary people’s patriotic spirit during our nine-month-long Liberation War. Similarly, the nation witnessed ordinary people’s patriotic expressions...

Non-resident Bangladeshis’ unwavering love for Bengali cuisine

The Daily Star I tell my friends and family all the time that I may be physically present in the US, but in my heart and head, I live in Dhaka, most days and nights. Ask around, and you will see that I am not the only one who feels this way. It is quite a common emotion among us, non-resident Bangladeshis. I get homesick in all seasons of the year. For instance, it is winter time now and friends and family who live in Bangladesh are posting photos of cold season festivities, from fairs to pitha utshob. The photos of winter foods and festivals on social media are pushing me deeper into nostalgia. No matter how much I wish, I cannot return home at this time to be part of all the merrymaking, so I find my own ways to comfort my homesick heart. Two places in the US that feel closest to home are Jamaica and Jackson Heights in Queens, New York City (NYC). These are the two neighbourhoods where Bangladeshis from all over America come to experience the country they have left ...
