Char Washpur, Dhaka, Bangladesh
went to the other bank of the Buriganga for two weekends in a row.... this place never becomes too old for me..... and the other weekend I discovered the beauty of the lit-up bridge at dusk... had the plan to go there during the weekdays, but as like any other day-dream of mine, this one was assassinated at the door of my office.....
anyway, was able to capture some eye-catching moments of Nature that reminded me how the River Buriganga could've been if we considered it our river.... now the struggle is on to retrieve what we can.... but the damage is already done......
only if colours could tell the story.......
the chimneys jumping out of the brick-fields are the symbol of air pollution for Dhaka..... they can't possibly make a beautiful backdrop however colourful the sunset is..... and the mirror produced by the water from the River Buriganga has been in the news for all the wrong reasons...... we just wish the reality was as rosy as the sky.....

a beautiful reminder..........
the Second Buriganga Bridge looks beautiful under the monsoon clouds, facing warm afternoon lights..... this is just a reminder what we are missing by polluting this beautiful river...... there is still time for us to bring the River Buriganga back to life......
