Today afternoon, I went to a place for office work. While passing by a market there during my break, I suddenly saw a seller sitting with several beautiful hand fans. The colors and designs of the fans were so beautiful that I wanted to stand and look at them for a while. When I got closer, I saw that colorful hand fans of different colors were beautifully arranged.
In fact, hand fans are a well-known tradition of our rural life. Once upon a time, hand fans were used in almost every house in rural Bengal. These fans were a daily companion for family members to cool down on hot days. With time, the use of electric fans has increased, but the necessity of hand fans has not completely disappeared.
Suddenly, I was quite happy to see such beautiful hand fans. So I bought a hand fan from the seller. The price is not very high, but its benefits are many in times of need. Especially when the electricity goes out, hand fans become one of the ways to relieve heat.
We have been experiencing a lot of load shedding lately. In such a situation, the importance of hand fans can be felt anew. Besides, many people earn their living by selling such products.
Even buying a small hand fan shows love for tradition and respect for the hard work of a common seller. May our rural traditions survive even in the crowd of modernity, and may the hard work of common people be appreciated.
