| Two Weddings and a Funeral |
Back to
Germany
again to a town of
Heppenheim, a town
romantically set almost half way between
Heidelberg
and
Darmstadt
and besides other attractions it has a castle and a big Catholic church. My
short visit to the town was merely to meet up with another German friend of
mine, Ania, who became a close friend whilst I was in
Bangladesh.
I bring back the above photo again because Ania (who is also
in the photo) was in Dhaka for a short period
working on her media studies and is the original owner of the above larger then
life Bollywood style poster, measuring approximately, six feet by three feet.
Ania wanted the poster which included two of our German bhais (Peter and Kirk)
and one Bangladeshi bhai, plus Ania and me. I went around dressing Peter and
Kirk with turbans, (using my dupattas) and Ania took photos of all of us and
then presented the photos and the tittle of her film to an artist in Dhaka. After two weeks of wait, we finally rolled out
on the streets of Dhaka, this large hand painted work of art and were shocked and amused to see the art
work depicting our images on a massive scale.
It reads in Bangla: “Two Weddings And a Funeral” and film
which Ania had in mind to make and I am still waiting for some actions?
Going back to Heppenheim, my stay with Ania’s
family and the visit to the sights of the town were all delightful and went all
according to plan, what more can I ask from my Germans’ hosts?
