Far right is my landlady's sister. She and all the others were born here in London (as far as I know), but "home" is Bangladesh even for those who have never been! Eid is a time to celebrate the ending of Ramadan and feast all day, but also to show off all your most recently purchased finery (whether it be from "back home" or from the markets in Southall, London).
