One of the oldest labor in my village. In my childhood he made lots of bamboo stuff for me. Sometimes he made kites and some times trap to catch birds (dove). He is the best person with Bamboo.
His two sons was my game mate. In my village we raised all together and our entertainment was football. His son was the best goal keeper “Ershadul”.
I took this picture about a year ago with a Nikon D40. In this age he is tired of his physiology. Lots of suffering he is carrying right now but still he can work. He and his bamboo! The day I took this picture he was working with some bamboo stuff. Thanks for being my model Mr. Bamboo!
আমার দুরন্তপনা শৈশবের অনেক উপকারি অধ্যায় এই মানুষটির হাতে সূচিত। বাঁশ দিয়ে হরেক রকমের কাজ করতে পছন্দ করে লোকটি। আজ সে বৃদ্ধ। বয়সের ভারে কিছুটা নত। তবুও কাজ তার থেমে নেই। কুড়িগ্রামে কাজ না করলে খাবে কি?
I took this photo from my village about 2years ago from our brick field. These labors were working there. Most of them are under 14. Child workers are fighting in this picture against poverty. Kurigram has the highest level of poor people. There is a special terms for this is “Monga”. Monga means costly. When peoples’ necessary needs went beyond their ability that is MONGA.
Only some heavy industry can solve this Monga problem where lots of employment will be created. Small industry like brick field is doing this small job in Kurigram.
