🎙️ On Assignment: While covering the Eid-e-Miladunnabi rally in front of Doel Chattar, I suddenly slipped and fell on the street and felt unwell for a while. My fellow photojournalist Ahad Ahadul Karim Khan Ahad from Dhaka Tribune immediately helped me. I am deeply grateful to him.

After regaining myself and returning to work, my other colleague Habib Habibur Rahman from Xinhua captured this moment. I looked a little shaken and exhausted in the picture, but it became a moment in itself—a moment that will stay with me.

Interestingly, Habib did not even know that I had fallen before he took this photograph.

My heartfelt thanks to all my fellow photojournalists who helped me and called to check if I was okay. Your kindness and support mean a lot to me.

My heartfelt thanks to Ahad and Habib. 💕
