Bastobota without reality chara

What’s happening now will be reflected both in short term blisters and long term scars

It’s Friday and once again we are left with more time than usual to contemplate our future...near & imminent future. Lets mix a few feelings (all negative, I must add) in our otherwise monotonous daily life or should I say daily struggle through traffic and threat of economic collapse.

These are my recent observations-

The caretaker govt. advisors 'weakest link' - Law Advisor Mainul Hosein. With his frequent comments that are not well thought through and very noticeably not communicated or agreed upon by other advisors. I am referring to his recent desire to set up a Truth Commission for

businessmen. For who? For big name businessmen who have built colossal empires on corrupt practices and tax evasion? Yes, all those who have taken thousands of millions Taka from the banks and fled overseas now. But I think we should leave this subject entirely, as we have realized, time  and time again, Law advisor Mainul as being nothing less than bi-polar and what

he says or does is actually out of his own control ! He needs medication!!

What we really need to focus on is the 30-40 percent of population who have been deprived of simple living..food & shelter. With recent growth in the economy only reflected in the affluent business community who joined  hands with recent (corrupt yet past) political parties, its 'the poor and the destitute' who have continuously been ignored,  their basic rights to live........unanswered . Facing one disaster after the other - natural and man-made has created a super thick skinned Bengali but a the same time a very pessimist and selfish one...like myself. @))*

2008 is the year to make or break this country of ours. And what are we prepared to do....this includes everyone-  ARMY, ADVISOR and GENERAL PUBLIC......can we not join forces even during these critical times? And turn what has been bad for most into sometime good for all?  Probably not....

Shame on us.......we are dogs and so deserve to be treated such!  By the government they tries to govern us, by political parties and even by foreign governments,....anyone and everyone who stands higher the sea levels....has the God given right to kick us as they so desired

Mind my words...fellow Bengali's....the next devastation heading our  way is the industrial collapse and followed by the bargain price sellout by these business  houses who are in self exile and enjoying the fruits of their plunder. And would not care if they are unable to return to their Sonar Bangla.

If Shakespeare were alive during these events, he would have no shortage in writing tragedies....................Bangladesh.
