Village Fair: A Day of Fun and Tradition
Amin, Faridpur, February 1, 2008:
Yesterday was a special day in Rasulpur as we celebrated our traditional village fair. Held under the old banyan tree, the fair was a joyous occasion for everyone in the village.
The fair started in the morning, and soon the place was bustling with activity. Traders and craftsmen set up their stalls, selling everything from clothes to pottery. People came from all around to buy and sell goods, and the air was filled with laughter and chatter.
As the day went on, more and more people arrived, eager to join in the fun. There were games to play, snacks to eat, and performances to watch. Magicians amazed us with their tricks, and snake charmers entertained us with their daring acts.
One of the best parts of the fair was the food. There were delicious cakes and sweets to enjoy, and we all ate to our hearts' content. We also bought some household items like pitchers and plates, which were beautifully made by local artisans.
As the sun began to set, the fair took on a magical quality. Lanterns lit up the night sky, and the sound of music filled the air. It was a moment of pure joy and camaraderie as we danced and sang together.
Eventually, the fair came to an end, but the memories will stay with us forever. It was a day of fun, laughter, and tradition, and we can't wait to do it all again next year.

The fair took place under the century old banyan tree. Traders and craftsmen gathered there with their whole stock of sales. Magicians, snake charmers and sweet makers also appeared and stayed in their tents at the fair place. Artisans came with their flutes, kites, pottery and toys. However, the fair was ready to be celebrated by the midday and merry makers started coming in flocks just when the sun leaned over the west. The place assumed a huge festivity at the evening. Men, women and children came and cheered with joy. Even the aged came to feel the thrill. Flutes were played on, kites flew up in the sky. People enjoyed cakes and sweetmeats. They also bought many household accessories such as earthen pitchers, plates, lampsticks, bowls and so forth. The magician played amazing tricks and the snake charmers charmed the snake as well as the viewers with their fearless skill. At the evening, the fair was a colourful pilgrimage Criss-crossed with lights and shadows. It looked sad then after the hours of enjoyments and thrill.
