All for a Morsel of Food
The city is expanding every day. Life is becoming cruel with unemployment rising faster. Working people hurry to their workplaces while the jobless do something for a living. Both do it for a morsel of food. As most people look for fast food at cheaper prices it comes as a morsel of hope for the roadside vendors. They sell cakes, boiled eggs, chanachur and many such items just to feed the hungry mouths at home. Photo: Srabon reza

Poor, but Not Poor at Heart
Although confining and torturing a wild animal is prohibited by laws, a section of poor people still finds it a way to earn their livelihood by becoming monkey charmers. Here, a 'proud' street boy, one of the audiences at a show near Mirpur Gol Chakkar yesterday, was so amused by the feat that he gave Tk 8 to the monkey while others were giving only Tk 2.

Highly nutritious European vegetable broccoli is becoming popular in Dhaka city. The deep green plant of the cabbage family, resembling common cauliflower, was once available only in posh superstores. However, it has slowly made its way to be sold by street vendors. Farmers are more and more opting for its cultivation as the profit is higher than cauliflower. A large quantity of broccoli is now supplied to city markets from Savar.
