“Envision a sweltering dawn on a bustling Bangladeshi highway, where a frail yet resolute old man in a crisp white panjabi and prayer cap rides atop a towering dinosaur skeleton constructed entirely from the Bangladeshi flag—its green and red fabric stretched taut over a bamboo frame. The dinosaur rears 30 feet tall, its jagged spine a row of crimson circles (echoing the flag’s sun) stitched onto emerald fabric, frayed at the edges from relentless monsoon winds. The man grips a makeshift rein of knotted jute ropes, his hands trembling with age but steady with purpose, as the dinosaur’s hollow eyes (cut from the flag’s red disc) glare defiantly at the horizon.
The Dinosaur’s Design:
- Body: Layers of green flag fabric, patched with scraps from Nakshi Kantha quilts, form scaly skin. The red suns dot its spine like wounds.
- Bones: Bamboo poles lashed with twine mimic fossilized ribs, their joints wrapped in red cloth to evoke sinew.
- Tail: A tattered train of flag remnants drags behind, collecting dust and crushed marigold petals from the road.
- Teeth: Rusted farming sickles, painted red, jut from the jaw—a nod to the farmer protests that shook the nation.
The Highway Scene:
The highway, choked with rickshaws, trucks, and honking buses, grinds to a standstill. Onlookers erupt in chaos:
- A fruit seller abandons his cart of mangoes, crossing himself as if witnessing a miracle.
- Schoolchildren in navy uniforms climb onto bus roofs, snapping blurry photos with chipped phones.
- A traffic officer blows his whistle uselessly, his uniform drenched in sweat as drivers shout, “Move the jinn machine!”
- An elderly woman in a sari folds her hands, whispering, “This is for the martyrs… he’s the teacher who lost his sons in ’71.”
Atmosphere & Symbolism:
The air reeks of diesel and biriyani spices from roadside stalls, mingling with the sharp tang of dye from the fading flag. The dinosaur sways precariously, its fabric snapping like gunfire in the wind. Whispers of history bleed through:
- The man hums “Amar Shonar Bangla” (national anthem), his voice drowned by truck horns.
- A torn pocket on his panjabi reveals a faded photo of two young men in military uniforms.
- Stuffed into the dinosaur’s ribs are handwritten letters: “Return the stolen land,” “Remember the rivers.”
Conflict & Foreshadowing:
A black SUV with tinted windows edges through the crowd—government plates. The man tightens his grip on the reins, the dinosaur lurching forward as if sensing danger. The SUV’s door opens, a polished shoe stepping onto the asphalt.
Final Image:
As the sun climbs, the flag-dinosaur casts a shadow shaped like Bangladesh itself—elongated and fragile. The man stares ahead, tears cutting through the dust on his face, as the crowd’s jeers and prayers fuse into a cacophony. The highway becomes a stage for memory and defiance, the dinosaur’s tattered flag-skin fluttering like a nation’s breath—here until the next storm tears it apart.”
