The Beauty in culture

Without love for the soil that sprouts you, they say, no culture has any beauty. Our culture, though, teaches you to boast as a patriot. It is the warmth, freedom and lightness of our culture, which carries our country wherever it goes. Our music, literature, traditions, way of life- everything upholds the sacrifice of our war heroes and heroines of 1971, the love we nurture for our language. So, when we celebrate with "panta-illish" on Pahela Baishakh, kids hop in Nagar Dolna, payesh is cooked in every rural household, a farmer gives you his supari-stained smile, when we stick to our "otithiappayon"- it's Bangladesh that we glorify, time and again, on that gleaming, shiny, world map.
