Trip to Haat- bazars!

For the first time in my life, I get to learn indepth about rural haat bazaars! Had a trip to Bogra where I had the opportunity to visit 4 large haats! I saw how things were brought by the sellers, how a middle man operates and how things are finally sold to the customers. There are some haats who are specialised in selling certain elements more, for example cattle haats, but more or less all types of stuffs are usually sold in most haat bazaars! Here are some of the pics!

The reason for creating this blog!

The idea of this blog was first given by my beloved Rubana Apa, the MD of Mohammadi Group, wife of current FBCCI President Anisul Huq and the most beautiful person in this world, who thought that it might be a great idea to write about my experiences while I travel the rural Bangladesh. There is a big gap of knowledge between people living in Dhaka and the rest of the country, specially the rural areas, and this blog might be a platform through which few people might know more about Bangladesh. Thank you Rubana Apa, thanks a lot! I personally feel that looking at this blog maybe after 3/5 years would feel so grat for me, and I can see and show others all the places I have been and all the things I have seen, the things I know and the things I have done! Great!

Would be grateful if someone comments! :D
