Food for thought

Unsafe Journey. A woman is riding between the railway carriages of a local train heading north from Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh. Her luggage is tucked under the carriage in front of her. It is the month of Ramadan, a fast which culminates in Eid-ul-Fitr, a three-day celebration. Tens of thousands of people leave the city to go to their home village and celebrate with their families. Trains are packed and many who fail to get tickets before they sell out or can't afford buying them at the black market ride on the roof of the train or, like this woman, finds a quiet spot between the carriages.

Sitting at home on the comfy couch in front of the TV, I am a millions mile away from the world this photo was taken at. Still, my heart goes out to all the unfortunate. Spending time with our family and loved ones during Ramadan is something we take for granted. I feel so blessed to be able to see my family and friends almost everyday.

Lots of Love!
