Contexto cultural
In Bangladesh, 'Ha-du-du' (Kabaddi) is the national sport, which involves a lot of strategic running and breath control. The verb 'dourano' is central to describing the game. The 'Kolkata Marathon' is a major annual event where thousands of people 'dourano' through the historic streets of the city for various causes. During the 'Nabanna' (harvest festival), village children participate in 'Dour Protijogita' (running races) as part of the celebrations. The phrase 'ফাইলের পিছনে দৌড়ানো' (running after files) is a common cultural trope describing the bureaucratic hurdles and the effort needed to get government work done.

Machine Warning
Never use 'dourano' for your phone or computer 'running' an app. Use 'chola'.
