Small boats criss cross the river all day and serve as a cheap transportation for crossing from one river bank to the other. Early morning sunrise over 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. What was mind boggling was that people were using this mucky water to drink, gargle, brush their teeth and take bath all within feets of each other! Amazing immunity system! Dhaka, Bangaladesh

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.
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

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!

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.
Pollution along the river banks. 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!

Hand held image - motion blur of people moving around in the bazaar. Iftar Delicacies of Dhaka. The holy month of Ramazan in the Muslim world is observed with great piety and fervour. The daylong fasting ends at sunset and the faithful break their fasting with the delicacies of IFTARI. Dhaka , particularly its densely populated older section bustles and buzzes with the rush home and the selling and buying of Iftari items as the time for Iftar draws near. Almost every restaurant of the city, from the 5-star hotels to local street outlets prepares their traditional and special Iftari items. Iftari items displayed on open-air stalls and tables with the adjacent gas burner or the stove frying Iftar items on large pans, some other in syrupy liquid and sizzling the other Iftaris over red-hot charcoal fire becomes the iconic Ramazan image of Dhaka.Chawk Bazar in old Dhaka is famous. The entire road in front of Shahi Masjid throbs with the hustle bustle. Jam packed with crowds. Top item is `Muri' (sand fried rice), and there is Piazu (paste of mashed lentils), `Beguni' or `Beson' (crushed yellow peas), `Jilapi' (sweetmeat), `Halim' (pasty broth), `Swami' and `Nargisi' Kabab with boiled egg, `Shik Kabab' (meats on skewers) as well as `dahi bara' (curd items).
