OP-ED: The indomitable conviction of Old Dhaka

The food and spirit of Old Town remain unparalleled As our rickshaw crossed Chankharpul and moved towards Chawkbazar, the pre-iftar excitement was hard to ignore. People wore masks and tried their best to avoid hitting one another on the road but this being Old Dhaka, strict restrictions are often tough to enforce.And during iftar time, with the food markets bustling and the tantalizing aroma of dishes wafting through the air, one can easily forget about the virus which has been making our lives a nightmare.
