The grounds of Lalmatia Housing Society School and College came alive with the beats of drums and the colourful celebration of Wangala, the foremost festival of the Garo community. Known as the “Hundred Drums Festival,” Wangala is a time for the community to thank Misi Saljong, the Sun Deity, for a successful harvest. This festive celebration marks the end of the farming season and celebrates the blessings of nature.
For someone like me who has never been to a concert before in her entire life, attending Atif Aslam's concert felt like a feast for the senses. When a friend of mine asked without a trace of forewarning, "Will you go to Atif Aslam's concert? I'm buying the tickets because they will sell out soon," and without hesitation, I replied, "Count me in for a ticket as well," as I couldn't let my once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to witness childhood nostalgia slip away like that.
Miles frontman Hamin Ahmed, who recently lost his brother Shafin Ahmed, was also present during the event. He said, “Do not fire a single bullet more. We want the government to listen to the demand of the students.”
To commemorate the 100th birth anniversary of the esteemed educationist, diplomat, and intellectual, the late Professor Khan Sarwar Murshid, a press conference was held today at the National Press Club.
