Aheda Bewa is a resident of Jatrapur char in the Brahmaputra river, under Kurigram Sadar upazila. She stays with her son Atoar Ali s and his family. She occasionally works as a day labourer. For her, Eid-ul-Fitr morning which sees celebrations and festivities around the world and in Bangladesh was not joyous. She was depressed as she could not manage to buy new clothes for them.
Neither could her son Atoar (45). He works at a tea stall, and yet could not buy sugar and shemai (vermicelli) for Eid.
