How I celebrated this day
Buying myself flowers is the best thing I can do. Self love is also important for mental health. So we should always take car of ourselves and then we can take care of our loved ones.
My outfit
I got my self a floral white dress because I didn’t have any Saree at that moment. Also a beautiful sunflower necklace which is my favourite.
Visited Ramna
In Ramna Botomul Pahela Falgun is celebrated significantly . To reach there you can take it by a bus or rickshaw. Easy access for everyone. So I went there and had fun one by one show was performed on the stage. At evening I took my leave.It was a great day for me.
So overall Pahela Baishakh is full of joy and enjoyment amongst bengalis. Which brings us closer to our tradition and attach us with our roots.
