Historic Mosque City of Bagerhat: A saint-worrior, khan e Jahan by title, founded a town in 15th century AD at the western peripheral land of present day Bagerhat Town. Depending on the numismatics evidences some scholars are of opinion that the town was called Khalifatabad during the 16th century AD. The town was studded with a lot of mosques, reservoirs, tombs, roads and many edifices. Most of them, however, have gone leaving a few of them as ruins. Among the surviving ruins Sait Gombuj mosque, Singair mosque, Bibi Begni, Fakirbari Ranavijoypur mosque, Chonu khola mosque, Nine domed mosque, Tomb of Khan-e-Jahan, Tomb of Zindapir and Rezakhoda mosque are a few to note. They sprawl over at least 2.5 km area from north to south and 6 km from east to west. The lost town is a ... read more

It's been always a pleasure to be on road being as traveller. This is why, love to capture whenever it's possible. All these photos has been captured over last couple of years from the different places of Bangladesh. "And often a memorable song of Dylan came to my mind... How many roads must a man walk down Before You call him a Man? How many seas must a white dove sail Before she sleeps in the sand? Yes, how many times must the cannon balls fly Before they' re forever banned? The answer my friend is blowin in the wind The answer is blowin in the wind..."... read more

Try traveling around by a Motorbike in Bangladesh, you will get a different perspective towards the community. In the beginning it may bother you a bit with the smog and lack of proper traffic rules in the highways. The roads are not that good in all the places as well. But most of them are not that bad either. Once you get out of the city premise, the real flavor of Bangladesh opens up. The highways here are not like the highways of the more developed countries but we do have long stretches of beautiful roads with breathtaking country beauty all around. The hospitality and the curiosity of the people are still original. I have covered a bit of the highways but there is still lot that remains. For starter I’ve been to the hilly areas ... read more

Things are getting really busy here in the subdivision of Uttara. Everyones gearing up for the huge Estema festival happening this weekend. Its an Islamic gathering of men from all over Bangladesh and the surrounding countries for prayer. Some describe it like a pilgrimage. It is taking place behind our university across the river, so from the roof you can see the tents that have been set up, they stretch further than the eye can see. 3 Million men are expected and this year they've broken it into 2 weekends and asked people from different regions to come on a specific weekend. There are tea and food stalls set up all over, and thousands of men here already. We're going to try to go to the train station tomorrow to watch the people arrive in packed ... read more

The following is the same entry as my first one, only this time it is public. Add photos to the next entry. So, I have survived my first week here on other side of the world! It was a challenge to get here with missed flights and lost luggage but my new Bangla family made the hassles manageable. My first week of teaching has gone well. I have 14 students in my class, with many more men than I had expected. There are about 4 young women and 10 young men. Yesterday was the faculty foundations day where students have booths to teach others about their faculty. The nursing student's are energetic and enthusiastic and their booth is very colourful and full of great health teaching information. I'm so glad to see the spirit here, the ... read more

Well, its nearly time for me to pack up all my things and leave this wonderful city that has been my home for three months. Its a time of the entire cacophony of emotions - i feel sad to be leaving such wonderful people that have become my family and friends, but also i feel happy to be seeing the UK again. Overwhelmingly i feel a sense of acheivement and joy with everything that i have done here in Bangladesh. This week has been one of two things; Goodbyes and Shopping!! Each day of teaching has been difficult, with each successive class that i have had to teach asking the same question, 'Why do you have to go Mr Will?'. I have been inundated with gifts (seven mugs at the final count - not all of ... read more

Well, this week was the week of the ADF! And what a full on week it was. Sunday, i was back at school rehearsing from 5pm until 8pm, Monday i had half a day at school then rehearsals from 2 until 6. Tuesday we had the day off due to a national strike organised by the BNP for some political reason i can't get my head round. Then, Wednesday was a normal day of school and finally, i had Thursday morning off until 1:30 where i went into school for the performances!! I really didn't know what to expect from the shows. My piece was only a small part of a much bigger 2 hour show - all based around the concept of Festivals of the World. I was directing a short drama based around the ... read more
