Last Saturday I was taken by Mr. Mahmud, a well accomplished professional working in Boston, to his house near Andover (about 20 miles away from Boston). Mahmud is from Khulna, had his degree from IBA, DU, now working in a multinational hedge fund. In his house I met his friend Mohammad & his wife who live in NY, Saiful, Mahmud's younger brother & many others of BD origin. We'd a iftar party in a festive mood (with prayer & religious fervors of Ramadan). All of them are very friendly & have good touch with the status of ongoing Bangladesh situation. Then at about 10 pm Saiful took me to his store at Dorcestor, Boston. It's his own business, not very big in size but very good sale( I observed for hours since he closed that at around 12.20 am). He's got some other stores & also planning to start some new ones. Saiful is an example of many Bangladeshis who came here for economic success and achieved that.
Yesterday on Sunday, Bangladeshi muslims arranged an iftar party (Break of fasting in Ramadan month) at the Islamic Center of New England at Sharon, MA. About 400 muslim male & female gathered there for iftar. After iftar, they prayed salat. It was a great social gathering too.
