Nabobarsho (Bengali new year)

Tomorrow is our Bengali new year! Shuvo Nabobarsho (Happy New Year) to everyone. This is the only day where every kind of people celebrates it happily. Every poor, rich, young, old, we all celebrate it together and eat the same food. Food is the most interesting part in this occasion. We eat rice with cold water and eat fried fish. As far as I know, there is a reason behind this food. This food is actually for who have little money to buy their food so that they buy only rice and fish which is cheap. They earn little money and buy rice and small fish. They don’t even have money to buy other grocery and cook some curry. That’s why they only eat rice and fish over and over. Therefore in this day we all eat it to understand their sorrow how they suffer these days by having only rice and one piece of fish. Sometimes they don’t even get a piece of fish to eat, they only eat rice. That is really terrible. But that’s the way it goes. So eat food then we wear white and red dress. This the traditional dress in this day that we have to wear white and red dress. After get ready we go outside and enjoy this time with everyone.

I am really missing this. I wish I were in my country and enjoy it with my close people. But still I will eat rice and fish with my family and going to wear white and red dress.
