Father's Day is a day to honor one’s father or father-figure, and to show him appreciation and gratitude for all he does. Like other parts of the world, International Father’s Day is being celebrated today (June 15) in Bangladesh.
The objective of the day is to recognize the contribution and services of fathers for their children. It honours fathers for their relentless dedication for their families, and celebrates fatherhood and paternal bonds. Father's Day is celebrated every year on the third Sunday of June.
Fathers are not articulate enough when it comes to expressing the inner deep feelings, unlike mothers. They mostly remain invisible in daytime, allowing mothers to rule and return to the home in the night when darkness prevails with their real and unspeakable power.
On this day, every child gets a turn to tell a father about his importance by sending special messages to them. He really deserves a big thanks for the never-ending support to family.
The event was first observed in the year 1910 in the United States, based on an idea endorsed by Sorona Smart Dodd from Spokane, Washington, who wanted to pay respect to her father.
Restaurants, hotels and boutiques in Dhaka have special Father's Day offers. You can spend the day with dads in Go Kart Courtside or Go Kart in Fantasy Kingdom Complex.
Families can go for boatride in Hatirjheel or Dhanmondi lakes, or take on a thrilling nature experience adventures in the Base Camp in Gojariapara, Gazipur.
For many children, the most cherished Father's Day traditions remain those shared close to home, gathering for a leisurely meal cooked with their dad, exchanging heartfelt cards and gifts, and expressing love with a big hug.
