The Every Day Festival

Who says there's nothing to do in Dhaka? All we have to do is just look for the colours, in the right places! Grab your camera and set out towards Uttara – known for the airport, the second railway station, Raj Lakhsmi market and sporting a chaotic balance between schools, hospitals, boutique stores and residences. A walk around the airport vicinity and you will find yourself standing in the middle of a festival that takes places almost every day. Families after work, gather to watch airplanes take off and land. Children remain awestruck at the sight – the next thing you know, they are running towards the balloon-wallah, selling balloons in all colours. All you have to do is, take a walk and look around!
