This year we celebrated our Bangla Nababarsha in a very ecstatic and colourful fashion. According to reports, 1412 Nababarsha celebrations were more overwhelming and spontaneous than recent years. Actually we have very few occasions to celebrate, but were we justified in enjoying the day when hundreds of our brothers were buried alive under the rubbles of a building?

We also celebrated the New Years' Day on January 1 when the whole world was recovering from the tsunami shock.

We should try to help those victims by raising funds, organising some cultural activities and getting compensation from those who are responsible for this tragic incident.
