The call of the water, the hunt for fish

Under the scorching sun, three teenagers stepped into a small water body in Chandbaria village of Shajahanpur, Bogura, to catch fish by draining the water. Rifat Hasan, Abdur Rahman and Jihad Hasan caught various local fish, including koi, shing, taki and kakila. After catching, sharing and cleaning the fish, they headed back home with their catch. This familiar joy of rural life is vividly reflected in the teenagers' fishing expedition.
