As many of you know, one of my passions is exploring Bangladesh with my son. We love discovering rituals, recipes, and traditions that have faded from our urban society. It's not just a hobby, it's part of who I am.
During one of our explorations, we stumbled upon a fascinating event in Manikganj, the Shinni . What surprised me most was its purpose. The villagers organize this feast when their community faces a major crisis. They pool their resources, cook together, and share a meal, all while hoping to bring about positive change. I discovered that contrary to popular belief, Shinni holds no religious connotations. It's a communal gathering, a symbol of unity, resilience, and the power of collective hope. Its roots trace back to Sylhet, where the sweet delicacy, Tusha Shinni, is a cherished treat. However, the essence of Shinni transcends its culinary form. It's a platform for healing, a bridge between hearts.
Our uncertainty grip our hearts. But I believe in the power of unity. Let's channel the spirit of Shinni. Let's come together, break down barriers, and create a space for healing and hope.
I invite you all to join me in this endeavor. Let's organize a Shinni that reflects the true spirit of Bangladesh, diverse yet united. Let's make a difference together.
