I was looking forward to get myself a Flickr Pro account for the last couple of weeks, and today Omi bhai gave me a pleasant surprise by gifting me one. 
I can now store unlimited pictures, create unlimited sets and collections, archive high-resolution images, replace photos, access visitor statistics, and have much more fun! Woohoo!

My second group photography exhibition titled “Ekshathe Dekhi” commences tomorrow at Chobir Haat, opposite of Dhaka University’s Institute of Fine Arts at Shahbag, Dhaka.
It’s open from 11:00 to 20:00 till 5th February. There will be a musical program on the last day of the event.
All proceedings from this exhibition will go to the Sidr victims fund. Come over if you get a chance!
Some brilliant photography of renowned photographers of the time will be displayed in the Sidr Aid Photography Exhibition, which starts from today.
It’ll continue till 31st January 2008, from 11:00 to 19:30 everyday at Russian Center of Science and Culture, House 510, Road 7, Dhanmondi, Dhaka. Earned money from the sold photographs will be given to the Sidr victim fund for the welfare of the victims.
We are expecting a great response from all walks of people participating in this social act and thus stepping forward in aid of the Sidr victims. I’ve contributed a photograph and I’m part of the organising team as well. Please come and visit us.
I’ve been hearing about Ahsan Manzil since childhood, but never got the chance to visit it since it’s located in a different part of Dhaka. I went to that area for the first two months ago, and decided to go there again to visit the Ahsan Manzil. So my friend Shan and I kept making plans and finally went there today… and it was worth it. It’s a beautiful architectural monument that reminded me of our gloried past.
Located on the banks of Buriganaga river and very near to Sadarghat Launch Terminal, it was the residential palace of the Nawabs of Dhaka. Now turned into a museum, it has 31 rooms and 23 galleries displaying portraits, furnitures and household articles and utensils used by the Nawabs.
Closed on Thursday, the museum is open from 10:30 to 17:30 on weekdays, and 15:00 to 19:30 on Friday during summer time (April – September). During winter (October – March), it’s open from 9:30 to 16:30 on weekdays and 15:00 to 19:30 on Friday. Go ahead and spend an hour or two at Ahsan Manzil and enjoy it’s beauty only in return of a 2 taka entry fee.
