Published by BRAC at Apr 13 2009 Michelle and I observed the advent of the Bengali New Year by setting up a BRAC stall at Club Bangla's take on the traditional Boishakhi Mela - Bengali New Year's Fair - this Sunday. A group comprised of Columbia University and Barnard College students, Club Bangla's objective is to take major steps in increasing awareness on campus about the language and culture of Bengal at Columbia. There couldn't be a better way to accomplish that goal than to celebrate the Bengali New Year festivities right in the middle of campus.
