Worldwide | Tuesday, October 12, 2010 | 5 photos

I never liked such a sunny day for going out and visiting extreme remote area, in addition, which is a border area and surrounded by hills. For some unavoidable excuses, I had to visit Tripura Gram (tribal community/village) located at the edge of India and the nearest urban locality of Bangladesh is around 50 miles away. The rural muddy road along with the frantic jeep journey made that morning inglorious. Within few minutes the monotonousness changed dramatically when we reached Tripura gram, 13 March 2010, all Tripuras were gathering there to celebrate their annual function in the open field. The program is called “Tripuresshori”, when people sacrifice their livestock for the name of their god. Their culture, motivation, believes and punctuation stunned me a lot. This disadvantaged group of ethnic people is struggling at the every step of their life, but their spirit and trustfulness is incredible. Here these peoples live as forest villagers without having any kind of contemporary facilities like electricity, medical support, education and transportation. We had to walk for couple of hours to reach Tripura Gram. I doubt that the mud made god cannot understand their appeal, but the peoples amazing spiritual thoughts are truly trustworthy. I am Naimul Islam; do not try to miss a single opportunity to visit anywhere and catch the moment of existence through my lens. I do cry for the perfect light and moment to capture the greatest snap. Not all birds’ calls reach to ear, but I want to reach there to hear the call and photograph the bird as well. Hope, one day I will have that awesome second. I believe, where there is will there is a way. Photography is my passion and I want to be a photographer.
