Dear all,
Aasalamuwalikum wr.wb. I hope you all are doing well. Thanks Sumit for your postings and sharing your thoughts.
Well, I have two points to mention, first and foremost we have to raise awareness from ourselves. That should be starting point and obviously it should start from 'myself'. I sometimes think, What have I done for Bangladesh? Can't find any answers.
Secondly, 'awareness' might be a start but unfortunately that's not the final call or the answers to 'bribery' or other socio-economic issues. These have lot to do with 'Economics'. How much does a civil servant earn, let alone the general public? Can they survive on this money? Yes, I know that they should not have joined the Civil Service if they thought that they could not survive on their salary....
Well these are just my thoughts! I was reading a report Alliance Bernstein - Global Economic Outlook May 2008.
As per this report, the food price has increased by 75% on an average and I am sure many of you are aware of this. The obvious question is how will our people cope with all these in the long run. Once again, I am not an economist or an expert in this field but I believe we have to emphasize on 'Agriculture' for non-reliance on foreign countries.
Anyway,Sumit keep it up! It's is always good to know about different thoughts of people and I don't see anything wrong with that as long as we don't loose our control on our arrogance or cross the border line. Thanks for your postings and the time.
I am sorry that I don't write much at all, as it's bit hard for me to find time with a full time job and professional studies; however I make sure that I read all the posts. Thanks to those who have shared their 'chelabela'. My childhood was extremely interesting and hopefully one day I will share it with all of you.
I will be visiting Bangladesh in July and obviously will visit 'Noakhali' (Maizee/sonapur/ Begumgonj) and will stay there for two days. I will also visit Noakhali Zilla School, where I was a student of class 6 and 7. It will be great to meet some of the Noakhali group members if they have time.
Finally, for a long time I was thinking of doing something for Bangladesh in an easy way where Bangladeshi' s living overseas can contribute towards their motherland with very minimal financial commitments. We are in the process of forming a registered charity in 'Australia'. There is still quite a bit of work to be done in this regard. Those of you interested to find out more can visit 'Let'sworkforbangla desh' in yahoo groups. We already have a domain and have to work on that. The similar group also exists in Face book- ' Let's work for Bangladesh in any shape or form' The response that I got from our community members from here and some other countries were really motivating.
Well this is all for today. I hope this email will not take a lot of your time!!!! I have an exam on 16th of this month and really have to start studying.
Please keep up the 'Noakhali Spirit'.
Thank you.
Regards,
B.Shafi (bijoy)
