📝 Audience Reviews & Reflections
📘 Review by Md Zesan Mufti:
“The event ran from 5 to 8:30 PM, and we didn’t even realize how beautifully 3.5 hours passed. Those PWDs who couldn’t join definitely missed something special.
Sulata Didi and Neela Di’s duet song, Sujit Da’s speech, Tuli Baudi’s recitation — each performance and message was simply wonderful.”
💬 Quote from Soriful Hoque’s inspiration piece:
“মানবিক চোখে তাকাও। যতটুকু পারো—পাশে দাঁড়াও। ‘মানুষের জন্য মানুষ’ কথাটি- চির সত্য হউক।
ভালোবাসা, কঠোর পরিশ্রম, আর স্বপ্নকে বাস্তব করতে দেখার জন্য ব্যর্থতার পরও কাজ করে যাওয়া।”
📖 Poetry by Mohammad Auyal Sekh:
“হয়তো পেলে অসং করে নিতাম যোল আনা। ভাগ্যে যদি থাকে তবে করতে হয় না দাবি...”
The poet reflects on whether making demands always leads to change or whether destiny has its own script.
🎤 Special Mention
We were honored to hear a beautiful Rabindra Sangeet sung by our specially-abled brother Kushal Kumar Das. His performance truly embodied the spirit of the day — calm, powerful, and full of hope.
