I mean every point of view can make the picture of celebration more vivid. I'm only away for 8 years though, has it gone through such massive changes as I get a picture talking to some friends??

Well, I'm not against the celebration at all, and we used celebrate too, but that was I guess limited to very few event and very few people, mainly limited to a small segment of the people in major cities.... Looks like it has gone quiet wide now... Well the expats celebrate too with some khana piƱa, get together and possibly some cultural functions...
I dont live in Bangladesh but there is always a huge mela where practically the whole population of Bangladeshis living in Sydney come out and celebrate Bangla New Year. Its good fun.
