HAWKER WOMEN
You can see the harsh and brutal lines of reality on the face of these women who sit on the footpath at Mymensingh’s busy place. They, like many others, was compelled to take to the streets due to poverty. Fifty-five-year-old women began selling vegetable and fruits to provide the income of her family. They struggle every day to feed their sons. On a good day they earn around 400 taka.

PATIENCE
The scene bellow is a regular scene of a pitha shop in Mymensingh. Everyday during winter mass amount of people gather at these shops. Here we can see a middle aged man waiting for his pitha to be served, during this time he is looking eagerly at the pitha being prepared by the sales-woman.

SMILE
Happiness is based on our mentality. In the picture we can see a little boy, who is just about seven-eight years old working as a helper in a tea stall. At this age, a child should go to school, but here fortune is not very kind to this boy. He is probably working because of his family issues or he is the only earning person in his family. He works very hard at this age to provide food to his family, though he gets beaten by the owner on his very slight mistakes.
Accepting all the disadvantages of his small life, he serves tea to every single customer with a smile on his face. He doesn't allow anyone to see his pain. This young boy teaches us, no matter what the situation is we should smile and appreciate whatever life gives us.

ARTIST
Everything that is beautiful is an Art. Whoever is able to make anything beautiful is an Artist. But sadly all types of artists are not appreciated equally. In Bangladesh, poor sculpture artists don't get the legit credits for their work. They bring a sculpture to life without any kind of academical degrees.
The elderly man in the picture is a sculpture artist sitting in-front of his unfinished sculpture by holding a cigarette with a wide smile on his face. He doesn't get as much respect and credit as compare to an educated and professional artist but he is happy.

THE SACRIFICE
It's been a long time since the Novel Coronavirus struck the whole world. The world just stopped suddenly. Bangladesh was no different. Everyone was staying at their homes. But the situation was not same for all. Some had to go out in search of food and some to ensure the safety of our lives.
