Dear friend,

First, take love and greetings. Hope you are well. My name is Afsana Zahin Nice, I was born and grew up in Rajshahi. I am studying here in the English department of Varendra University, a reputed private University. I am also a member of the OSCH project. We often go on trips with our friend circle, and for that reason, we have been to Rajshahi division's Naogaon district before. When I am writing to you it's afternoon. We went to Kusumba Mosque which is situated at Manda in the Naogaon district. This mosque is quite different from the other mosques. It was built about 500 years ago. Its architectural form is exquisite and built of Blackstone. I felt how many generations had passed and how many times people had been bearing witness when I touched the Mosques walls. Its design and construction differ from other mosques, it has 6 domes on the roof. I was picturing a bygone era's way of life. I hope you ever get time to come to this country and visit this local mosque. I hope you will like the atmosphere here, is very beautiful and gentle, you are invited to visit here.

So far today, good luck, and looking forward to hearing from you.

Yours ever

Afsana Zahin Nice

I wanted to write to you about an archeological site in my hometown, Rajshahi. But I couldn't visit the place due to being extremely busy with my studies and music. So I thought, why not tell you about one of my favorite events since childhood? It also happens to be a cultural heritage of this city. It's Rother Mela, which loosely translates to the 'chariot carnival'. It's a fair that is hosted every year during the Hindu festival Rothojatra of Jagannath. Jagannath is a Hindu god who does not have any arms or legs and travels on a chariot. The chariot is dra

Letter from Minhazul from Bangladesh to Nahian in UK

Sender:  Minhazul Islam Senders Location: Rajshahi, Bangladesh Receiver:  Nahian Iftekhar Receiver Location: Glasgow, UK Translation:  Dear Nahiyan, I feel like writing to you today so here I’m with a pen and paper. When I’m writing this letter, a river which was my childhood love, is dying in front of me without any care. This is the river that painted my childhood with colors.  It's hard to match that river now with the one in front of my eyes today. When I was in the second grade, I went to an aunt’s place with my grandpa. After a while when we passed a kilometer or two, I found the sky is just white in front of us; not blue anymore. Looking into the skyline, my curious mind was wondering; isn’t there a tree or anything in front of us? The three-wheeler rickshaw was moving forward, and I felt that I am coming closer to that barren skyline. All of a sudden a banyan tree surrounded by a group of people appeared in front of us. The rickshaw bell rang, and I noticed something

Sender:  Rehaan Syed Senders Location:  Glasgow, UK  Receiver:  Nabil Hasan Receiver Location:  Rajshahi, Bangladesh Hello Nabil, My name is Rehaan, I am currently in my 5th year of high school working towards achieving my higher (you’ll know them as SSC’s) and hopefully getting the grades to be accepted into university, although I’ve also applied to a couple graduate apprenticeships, which are like 4 year courses where you are paid to work and also go to university and work towards your degree at the same time. Aside from academics, I enjoy listening to music, playing the drums and occasionally going out to eat or shop with friends. Anyway, that’s enough about me, I wanted to talk to you a bit about different regions in scotland, and the different stereotypes/preconceptions associated with them as I’m curious to know if they have similar regional biases in Bangladesh. For example, here in Scotland you can drive an hour in any direction and be greeted with a completely different accent
