Bangladeshi cuisine wins hearts at Indian show
Bangladeshi cuisine and clothing won the hearts of hundreds of visitors at the Delhi Commonwealth Women's Association (DCWA) International Bazaar held to raise money for a noble cause—to help give subsidised treatment and medicines to poor patients.
The day-long fund-raising event, organised by DCWA, a non-profit organisation, at the front lawns of Ashok Hotel on Sunday, was opened by Bangladesh High Commissioner to India Syed Muazzem Ali.
Tuhfa Zaman Ali, wife of the High Commissioner and current chairperson of DCWA International Bazaar Committee, said that besides running the medical centre, DCWA has also a schooling programme for slum children and those with special needs.
Amid fun and frolic, people came with their children to the Bazaar that showcased diverse crafts, clothing, cuisine and souvenirs.
The earnings from the event will be spent on charities run by the organisation, said Veena Dass, a coordinator of the event.
Bangladesh's readymade garments sold like hot cake, while the food stall selling mutton and chicken biriyani among others delighted the gourmets. That drove home the point that the best way to reach one's heart is through the stomach.
