Dhaka - a very typical street scene. Not long after this we got into quite a bit of gridlock.

Never satisfied with what he has,Man always ends up coveting what others have.
"ওপারেতে সকল সুখ, আমার বিশ্বাস।"
Small bridges made from bamboos are a common sight across Bangladesh. Numerous canals and rivers scour through the flatlands, and building permanent bridges is not an ideal solution due to the everchanging courses of these canals and rivers. Using bamboos is much more economical.
But why use only one thin bamboo? I have no clue at all.
Mamudpur, Delduar, Tangail
Bangladesh.
As well as the bazaars, high rise markets and street vendors there are a very few fairly 'posh' shops. Even in the UK I don't remember seeing a multi level shop window like this. Even here I would have doubts about the building quality - and that's the trouble - you just do not know where the dodgy buildings are.
Bicycle is becoming popular among people who are frustrated over the rampant traffic jam in Dhaka city.
It saves a lot of time, compared to public transportation.
When a man has to pull Rikshaa for 10-20 kilometers with two or three passengers within a span of 6 hours, the toll on body is very severe. Tiredness hits each fiber of the body with torrential momentum.
A short nap in acrobatic posture might help to release the stress a bit. That's what counts.
Two men hard at it. Must be back breaking work. The Bangladesi's do eat a whole lot of rice though. I've seen them eat it at 3 meals per day.
Milk can't get purer than this. You ask for milk, they milk the cow infront of you. No chance of impurities or preservatives.
A number of small farms in northern corner of Aftabnagar area makes very good and honest business here.
I am a regular customer too...!
I was testing out the newly received old wide angle lens from Tokina. Very cheap compared to the modern counterparts, yet produces nicely usable photographs.
The urge to feed the family forces men to go for a living regardless of the time-weather-social emergency.
A Milk seller carrying his product over his head in a cold winter morning.
Football in a misty, dew soaked winter morning? No, not even the bravest sportsman from BUET dares to do so...
Vegetable sellers bring their goods from nearby places every morning. Before taking their goods to market, they clean those up from mud and dust in this particular place.
Early Morning in South Banasree.
On the Sreepur - Kashimpur Rd in Bangladesh.
The people in this photo - mainly women & mainly walking away from the camera - are on their way home for their lunch break, from a garment factory.
With her little brother, she came to a chotpoti shop. After placing order, she was somewhat out of her sane state, almost like an adult reminiscing her sad memories.
And I took my chance. Her Brother's photo is coming up next.
A common scene in the neighborhood. Hundreds of vegetable sellers walk around the city to sell fresh vegetables to the housewives. Door-to-door service, without shipping charge. Isn't it awesome!
View from the top of a building, over a lake, that is slowly being reduced in size by the dumping of rubbish. A large market is sited just to the right of the photo.
Another view of the floating shop. The worst thing about returning to Scotland was the lack of colour. The best thing was getting a lungful of unpolluted air on the tarmac at Glasgow Airport.
Living a Life is tough for the van pullers, but the income is pure. That's the satisfaction they have...
I know you'll take your leave for this year, but don't go away so fast. Calmly...
And here goes one of my all time favorite songs.
Recycling Rubbish - In Bangladesh many children used to work in the garment factories, until the Western buyers put a stop to it. As their parents need them to earn money, children now work on the streets doing many things. One of them is collecting rubbish for recycling. Here you can see a kind of hub where rubbish is collected and put in these large sacks.
Everywhere you go someone is trying to make money by selling something. Life is a constant struggle. If they can't sell their goods or services life is impossible.
A regular scene with health conscious men kicking off the day with some lively football playing.
Aftabnagar, Dhaka.
