Don't forget Bangla New Year
Every country celebrates the New Year in its own manner and customs. The tradition of welcoming the New Year is an age-old practice. The English New Year is particularly celebrated by urban people and the Bangla New Year is celebrated by all the people of the country, irrespective of religion or social status. In Dhaka, people celebrate the English New year by arranging parties for their friends, families and acquaintances. But the young people sometimes create chaos while celebrating the occasion. So the law enforcers must remain alert so that no unwanted incident happens. But the Bangla New Year celebration is quite different and I love to watch people thronging the fairs wearing colourful dresses. As a child, I used to wait eagerly for the Bangla New Year because it would bring lots of sweets and yummy foods. I request everyone not to forget our culture of modesty while celebrating the coming New Year. Happy New Year to all.
