Plums were not much available in Bangladesh for its low popularity one decade ago. In season some one could buy this fruit from the exclusive shops in Gulshan or Banani. 
Though nowadays plums are available in any supershop of Dhaka.
Adnan liked this fruit very much. Whenever it was available his father would bring it. We laughed a lot on this fruit once.
In this subcontinent plum is known as Alubukhara or Alubokhara. It is a Persian word. As you can see here the word includes Bukhara or Bokhara, the historical place in Central Asia. Funny thing is that the vendor wrote the name of the item Potato Bokhara in the receipt. I don’t know what Alu stands for in Persian but it means potato in Bangla.
