Dear Rupa,
I hope this letter finds you in good health and spirits. It was great to receive your letter and I am pleased to share with you how I celebrated Pahela Boishakh this year.
As you know, Pahela Boishakh is a major festival in our country and I always look forward to it. This year, I started the day early by attending the celebrations at Ramna Batomul at dawn. The atmosphere was electric and I felt an instant surge of excitement as I joined the crowd in welcoming the new year.
Later, I attended a cultural function organized by the renowned cultural organization, Chhayanat. The artists there performed different types of traditional songs and presented various dance forms which truly captured the essence of our culture.
Following this, I participated in a rally organized by the Institute of Fine Arts at Dhaka University. Like all the other participants, I wore a tiger mask and it was quite fun. We also had some traditional snacks and drinks during the rally.
In the afternoon, I returned home and had some ‘Panta Ilish’ with green chilies. It was a delicious meal and I relished it after the busy morning. Our school also organized a small Baishakhi Mela and it was a delight to see the students actively participating in setting up different stalls. I helped my school friends with three of the stalls, where we sold toys, dolls, and other handmade items. I even purchased an ‘Ek Tara’ for myself.
Overall, it was an amazing day and I thoroughly enjoyed myself. I look forward to next year’s celebrations with great anticipation.
Take care and write back soon.
Yours lovingly,
Suma
