Jackson Heights, NY- new little Bangladesh


Bangla languages whispering all around, bearded and old aged street vendors (hawkers) worn with pyjama/paanjami and selling stuffs like tupi (caps)/tosbih/books and so on, many hejab clad and salwar kamiz wore ladies and girls busy with shopping, bangla script written signboards in front of all shops(stuffs inside include mostly made in Bangladesh or other sub-continent countries), all Bangladeshi fishes (from Katchki to Rui, Katla, Elish ----and what not !) being quickly sold, almost no white people wandering in the horizon, outside atmosphere looking a little dirty (no offend please !)- this is the typical scene of the famous Jackson Heights area of New York what I saw on yesterday afternoon (6 Oct). So many times we the Bangladeshi people hear the name of this place but only yesterday I got the opportunity to see by myself. Thanks to Mr. Monzur who took me there from Boston.
