> Rangpur station. In Bangladesh, the dry season is also the cold season and extends over December and January. Some people in Bangladesh are both landless and homeless. They can often be found at railway stations.
> Children catching small crabs and putting them in plastic bags. Proudly displaying their catch. Not only were they not scared but actually quite enjoying this - sort of like a game. What was scary was the heavy machines operating with cutters & welders for the ship breaking industry. Unmindful, the kids just went about their live. It was also mind boggling to see large number of people were using this mucky water of the river to swim, play, drink, gargle, brush their teeth and take bath all within feets of each other! Same water has the ship breaking with oil leaking making the river thick black as well as crab & fishing all side by side. Young, old, everyone seems to have the world's best immunity system! Dhaka, Bangaladesh Buriganga River (Bangla: বুড়িগঙ্গা Buŗigônga "Old Ganges"). Buriganga is the life line and much happens in and around this river. It is the main river flowing beside Dhaka, capital cityof Bangladesh. With an average depth of 39 feet (12 m) its quite amazing to see the activities along the river. Unfortunately, the river is Dhaka's main outlet of sewage waste and is threatened by pollution and waste.
> Almost missed my flight as it was pouring in Kolkata (Calcutta) and there was water logging (flooding) on the streets. Short flight from Kolkata to Dhaka but it was turbulent and bumpy due to the weather.
> Children in various states of dress and undress (near nakedness) playing in the water. Some having bath, others just having fun. But what is amazing is their immunity system and ability to handle the conditions. Since this is the river banks of Buriganga - one of the most polluted rivers. Within inches and feets of them are leaking oil drums, welding sharpels, garbage, waste plasitc, and God knows what else! Yet in this very same water of the river children can be seen swiming, playing, drinking water without aparent problems or infection. The same water has the ship breaking activities with oil leaking, tar burning, and more making the river thick black. Dhaka, Bangaladesh Buriganga River (Bangla: বুড়িগঙ্গা Buŗigônga "Old Ganges").

> Dhaka (Bangla: ঢাকা, pronounced [ɖʱaka])— (Dacca) is the capital city of Bangladesh (Bengali: বাংলাদেশ [ˈbaŋlad̪eʃ] Bangladesh). Dhaka, located on the banks of the Buriganga River is a megacity with a population of over 12 million. Dhaka is known as the City of Mosques and renowned for producing the world's finest muslin. it is a center for culture, education and business.
> Images taken from the small dow light boat used to cross the Buriganga river. The water level is just inches lower than the boat's edge and rocks quite a bit when larger boats pass you. Dhaka, Bangaladesh
> Small boats criss cross the river all day and serve as a cheap transportation for crossing from one river bank to the other.

> Chandrima Uddan (also called "Zia Uddan") is a park situated across the road from the Jatiyo Sangshad Bhaban, in Dhaka, Bangladesh. In Bengali, the name literally means "Moonlight Park". This park is notable for being the place where the former Bangladeshi President, Ziaur Rahman was buried. It is connected to the main approach road with a bridge which runs over the Crescent Lake. The park is a common place to spend leisure time in the vicinity.
> Street scenes around Buriganga, Dhaka, Bangladesh. With poor and meagre living conditions life is a daily struggle for survival. Yet everyone I met had a smile on their face. Inspite and beyond the poverty and pathetic living conditions.
Almost missed my flight as it was pouring in Kolkata (Calcutta) and there was water logging (flooding) on the streets. Short flight from Kolkata to Dhaka but it was turbulent and bumpy due to the weather.
