Kash Phul – Kans grass – Wild sugarcane -Â Saccharum spontaneum – “flowers” in the Autumn for a short while just after the rains have ended. The flowers [which are really the seeds escased in a tuft] will be gone in just a few days. Just had to go out early morning today to enjoy [...]
Drove out to Ashulia for lunch at Little Italy and spotted this purple house on the Turag. The river has become quite wide from all the heavy rain we have been having. The river dwindles down to a narrow strip before the monsoon rains come. You can see the width of the river behind the [...]

Up before dawn to try catch the early light. There was a bit of a rumble of distant thunder … though from the looks of the morning sky it seems unlikely there would be a sudden storm this morning [the season for the "Kaal Baisakh"Â - violent Nor'wester storms is coming up soon]. Drove out [...]

Was invited today to join a couple of friends [Ujwala and Kuhu] on a photo trip down the road from Dhaka to Ashulia, and beyond… what a great experience this turned out to be. Ujwala is using some of these photos as reference for her lovely portrait work – Paan Khaye, Watermelon Vendor, the Lady from [...]
Posted in Ashulia, Bangladesh, tree on Mar 2nd, 2007
Driving back from Ashulia today, spotted this lone Banyan tree [probably Ficus benghalensis] at the side of the Turag. Seems that there might have been some sort of a temple or idol placed inside the lower trunk did not get closer to look. Will investigate when we take another drive to have pizza at “Little Italy” [...]
