Dear Rana,

Today, I want to write to you about my recent visit to ‘Muktijudher Bijoy Mela Utsab’, which is held yearly in front of Chittagong Stadium. Every year it begins on December 7 and continues until 16th December. The main purpose of this Mela is to uphold the spirit of the liberation war through exhibiting the historical photographs and documents, and through constantly rendering the memorable songs sung during the liberation war, and by holding discussion on the impact of the war on our history and culture. Besides, the Mela becomes a great occasion for the display of indigenous products of all sorts. Handicrafts of all kinds, traditional foods of all sorts, and pottery, and garments are brought into the Mela both for exhibiting and selling. Thousands of stalls are planted overnight in which a fascinating array of consumer goods is kept for sale. For entertainment, a big tent is pitched at one corner of the Mela in which a circus party is regularly performing to the enthralled audience. In short, the Mela truly shows the rich heritage of our culture. We went there on 15th December. It was evening, and there was a thick crowd. We found it difficult to find our way through. However, after great effort, we reached the area, isolated for seminars, where prominent people delivered speeches on the significance of the liberation war. We roamed about the Mela aimlessly. I was impressed by the pictures of our national leaders hung on a separate panel. The picture of Bangabandhu delivering the historic 7th March speech was also there. I marvelled at the erect gait of Bangabandhu’s showing his uncompromising attitude. Another blow-up photograph caught the moment of the historic surrender of the Pakistani forces to the allied forces on the 16th of December. I could not hold my tears when I saw the blow-up pictures of the martyred intellectuals whose corpses were found lying decomposed at the Rayer Bazar graveyard. After spending a couple of hours at the Mela, I returned home proud and contented.

This is all for today. With love and best wishes.

Ever yours,

Tahseen
