A Meena Bazar was held in Nawab Bari-Talaab Kinaar on the 11th of August.
This time there were many stalls from the non family members along with the colorful stallls from the Saheb and the Bibi's. This year the pary was jubilant, attended by many. The ending ceremony was marked by concert by Nakib (Nakko) staged in Bara Ghat.
People danced in every bit of his song -Ya Ali.
This year the Bazaar was more or less sucessful, as it banked on last year's advertisment and popularity in the surrounding neighbourhood (Moholla).
Some stall owners complained that the sale was not as good as last year, beacuse this Meena Bazaar was only for a day instead of three..
Also some nationalist questioned the timing of the M bazaar.As 15th August is the death anniversary of Bongobondhu and 14th August is Pakistans independence day.Is it merely coincidence or it was preplanned?

THE GREAT MEENA BAZAR
It was Thursday when me and my cousins went to nawabbari. It seemed like “CHANDRAAT” (moon night) when we entered Nawabbari.
The Nawabbari people were all busy decorating their stall and there was a big crowd surrounding the talab to watch water polo.
There were also my friends from school who came to see the meena bazaar and to stay over at Nanna Chachu’s house (son of late Khawja Fahim). There were songs playing all around the talab.
At night, we celebrated Nanna Chachu’s and Sara phuppu’s wedding anniversary, it was great fun indeed.
The next day, everything was fine and slowly everyone started opening their shops. The environment was very noisy, and everyone’s eyes were caught by nagordola (big wheel) and boat journey. It was also Friday so there was jumma namaz. So we all decided to visit after jumma prayer.
After our namaz we had our grand launch, which was treated by Nanna chachu and Sara phuppu for their anniversary. So we finally went to meena bazaar, the environment was crowded and it was very hot and the cold icy lemon juice was in demand.
There were very good food stall specially the ‘GUJRATI’ food stall. There was all type of stall including CD, Clothes, Toys, etc.
It was all-fine till 5 pm when the outsiders rushed into Nawabari, it was so congested no one could move. It was great fun all the day, but night was better then the day, when it was time for “BANDSHOW”.
Nakib bhai, who sung very well that night, entertained the Nawabbari people very much, as well as my friends and me. The meena bazaar was just great.
I hope to be a part of such events in the future, and people who did not attend, did miss loads of fun.
