comments: dear kazi though I feel like I fritter awawy most of my life away wired to these machines, i have never really used the Network. Wow it really is something else. I am a PhD student at University of Durham, (North East England) born and brought up in London (England) but a true Bangladeshi (parents from Jamalpur, but I spend all of my hols in Dhaka) at heart. It would be great to maintain contact with you people. And i would like to know more about what's available on the Network. I am President of Asian Society (100 members) at University of Durham and we are around 10 Bangladeshi's here. Lily

It's my first night on the net, I just installed the latest version of windows 3.1 (3.11 !) since I could not get anything going with the 1992 version of 3.1. Finding this the first night was something I did not dare to dream off. It's a bit late now but I surely come back here (I guess tomorrow). Greetings from Holland!!

comments: Nice home page! I have seen this before, though did not take the time to send you a note. The pictures are nice and I hope you don't mind me downloading them. A question for you (given that I am still a net-novice): How do you load a picture once you download it to your own directory. This is probably a stupid question; but so is my knowledge of computers.

Your pictures of the country side are just as I remember it from our train ride from Chittagong to Dhaka. My only comment is that you need to add another "Sound" of Bangladesh to your page. I missed hearing the traffic, horns, bells, etc. from the streets of Dhaka. I'll have to visit your page again real soon. sincerely, Gina Hsiung

comments: Dear Junaid Shaheb, Take my salam and deep appriciation for everything that you have done in this network as a Bangladeshi. I would like to draw your attention on the photo images. I think you could have pro- vided some more natural sights, rather than Dhaka. And, on some of the images you tried to portrait locals. I think you could have avoided the picture of selling bottles of alcoholic beverage as this doesn't represent our culture. Americans believe in whatever they see, moreover they don't see the things the way we see them. Please, don't take negatives. I support you for everything that you have done. If you need some assistance on anything, please let me know. Thank you. Saidul Islam

Pictures and images are very popular I am sure. May be you could add more images. I saw a beautiful calender in Bangladesh prepared by Drik. The photography is excellent. If you can get hold of that then it would be truly wonderful. The calender had images of Bangladesh according to the month. Personality focus would be nice Dr. Yunus, Jainul Abedin, and others. Thanks.

Some of the information is a little 'fluffy' (ZIA is not REALLY an elegant airport in my opinion - more like frustrating) and the search index didn't work when I typed "Dhaka".

I am especially interested in the "recent news" section. Unfortunately, it is not possible to get any usenet information. Only newswires information (VOA, Guardian, AP) is receivable. Could you please give me some advices as to how to overcome the messages "connection failed" or "host unknown". Is it possible to get clippings from the "Daily Star" or other dailes or weeklys. Perhaps, we can start communicating to each other now at a regular basis. Thank you very much again Yours sincerely Martin Peter HOUSCHT (houscht@uni-muenster.de)

Prepare a list and address of all NGO's operating in Banglade- sh. 3. A brief description about the main 10 cities ( such as Dhaka, Chittagong, Khulna, Rajshahi, Sylhet, Jessore, Barisal, Comilla, Mymensingh, and Saidpur ) with the present population area and for whats these cities are famous. 4. A short list of Foreign and National Banks are operating in Bangladesh and the addresses of corresponding banks of our Banks abroad 5. Addresses of Dhaka based Dailies and Weeklies as well as other regional newspapers ( Especially from Chittagong, Khulna, Rajshahi, Jessore, Sylhet, Barisal, Mymensingh etc ) Yours sincerely Firoz Alam Ph.D student in Aerospace Engineering, Monash University, Australia E-mail : Falam@eng2.eng.monash.edu.au

comments: Wonderful set of WWW pages on BD. Makes me quite homesick, and recalls, for me, the soft sound of a bashi (bamboo flute) playing in the dusk by a tank.- I spent 2 months in BD last year, and left my heart there. - Still learning Bangla, weekly here in Sydney. Problems learning script, of course, as an Anglo. With you pages, I got lost. You might like ook at this, as a user, unclear link.;- I was in the Language section, and somehow found;- BD:Survival Bengali. I even dumped it to my printer, for I wated to expore from there, further, NO I failed to bookmark, It. - I have spent some 6 min. re-looking. - 1 Where is it, please (IT goes on to the dictionary and primer) 2 Perhaps some better links to it on higher pages? This, because it seems like a valuable sub-section. - Last thing;- I am so excited by having found this section. This is so good, I would be proud if My name was on it and not yours;- ie So much obvious study,work, knowledge and LOVE has gone into its creation and presentation. - Well done.

However, I do wish the pictures provided had some description. I it is nice to know where the pictures are taken from to compare and see how much everything has been changed. An extensive description (in addition to the catagories you already have) may give non-bengali people better understanding. This visit was extraordinary.

comments: Dear Zunaid Kazi: I accessed your home page to get some information about Bangladesh. This home page is really very nice. It is very well organized and easy to use. I really enjoyed browsing inside this home page. Great Job! However, I couldn't get the information which I was looking for. I wonder whether you can help me where I can get the information. Or if you simply know about it, could you tell it to me? I am doing a research about Bangladesh and need detailed information about the administrative divisions in Bangladesh. Your home page gives the information of 64 districts. This information is something different from the one I have. The number of the districts I have is about 20. Of course, my infromation might be wrong. What I learned about the administratie divisions in Bangladesh is that the country is divided into "divisions" and then into "districts" and then into "thanas(?) or subdistricts(?)," and probably it will break down further on. The information which I am looking for is the name of thanas inside Noakhali District. In addition, I want to know in which thana or subdistrict Hatiya (island) belongs to. I have been trying hard to get this information looking at so many places, but all the information stops at the district level and doesn't give further information. I would really appreciate, if you could give me where I can find the information. Many thanks in advance. Regards, Machiko Kamiya

comments: Dear Kazi Bhai, This morning I was told by an Indian Prof. about Bangladeh Home page.First thing I did when I got home was to go directly to ur page. Honestly at first I thought it would be composed of some boring data, stats along with some me gvt. propaganda type gibberish. When I got there, I was awestruck, mouth wide-open; I thought I was dreaming. I saw some usenet groups focused on Bangladesh before mainly consists of Fanatic Islamists morons. But this is out of the world! As I was discovering more, I felt like a kid in the candy store. Audios, Pictures, Format, EVERYTHING was GREAT. I'm trying to kiss up to u, I felt a stream of emotions was going thru my backbone, started to have goosebumps; teary-eyed, shocked to see the depth of my emotions. Suddenly realized I'm missing out a lot. I haven't been in touch with my own people, I haven't answered my little sister's letter in months, who wanted a walkman from america, I haven't talked to my poor Mom in ages. The very mom who still worries about me "crossing the streets" in America! Excuse: No time, Work & School,Yet I always seemed to have time for fri.nite buddies, time to shop around for the perfect card 4 girlfriend's mom! Alas! i didn't have any guilty feeling. I was changing rapidly to man I promised I'd nerver turn out to be. I don't what it is, that'd touched a chord in my long ignored Bangladeshi soul. I'm so proud and excited that I feel like waking my roommate up, and calling my girlfriend to show them what we REALLY are & about. The rich culture and heritage. I'm so sick of always being defensive about the infamous WorldVision trip w/ Alex Trebeck version of Bangladesh on TV. Despite all the hardship and shortcomings I do beleive we WILL prevail, 'cause there are always People like you who dedicate themselves for the betterment of the others and invoke lost souls like mine. Thanks a zillion. sorry for this big bundle of words. I had to get it of my chest. I'm not sure if I even made any sense but I'm positive lot of young souls around the globe who ventured out can relate to what i feel. For some reason a tune keeps ringing in my ears right now eventhough I haven't listened to any Bangla song in years; it goes:"Aie Padma,Aie Megna, Aie Jamuna Surama Nodhi Tate. Amar rakhal mon gan gaye jai......."

However; regarding Awami League persuading India to step in and help Bangladesh attain independence will not be correct. India as a enemy of Pakistan always looked for ways to weakend Pakistan. India sieged the opportunity, that was handed to them by the stupidity of the West Pakistani, as you mentioned them in detail in your essay. In short Awami league did not had to convince India, but it was a moment India was waiting for all along. my e mail AHMEDM@VAX.CS.HSCSYR.EDU

I am a Pakistani whose family was in East Pakistan from 1969-1971 (unrelated to the armed forces)I have always wondered about the details of the history of what is a dark and unfortunate period in both our peoples' histories. I have found alot of really important readings here. I would only like to make one suggestion and that is to please reference the source from which you are deriving your information. When you have eye-witness accounts that is OK but descriptions of historical events e.g. specific battles in the 1971 war should be referenced. I think it would give greater credence to know whether some report is from NY Times or Newsweek, etc. I would be interested to have discussion with you if you are interested. Please e-mail me

Please send me your opinion along with a short note of introduction about your self. As for me, I am doing my degree on Youth and Community Work, at University of London, Goldsmith College. I work with young people in my free time, and help my father with his Community work. I love to play Caram Board, but I cannot play well.

comments: You are the people far away form Islam and under the influence of Hindu pigs. The university in which I am studying 80% of bengalis are involved in drugs and other bull shits, alcohol and sex is every day routine of you peopole. In the Jumma Prayer( one of the most important prayer to offer ) only 3 or 4 among the 80 bengali students come while more than half Pakistani comes. I went to a Islamic Ijtimah in Saint Louis. 10 or 15 out of 300 appx. people were bengalis while 70% of all were Pakistanis. Pakistan was formed on the basis of Islam while bangla was bornon the basis of bengali. According to the geographic facts Urdu is the biggest and the largest spoken language among the Muslims of all world even more than Arabic Persion and Indonesian. At the time of combined Pakistan bangla used to give the all economy to whole Pakistan( as you said) then what is happening now. What happened to the sunaihra(golden) bengal you were becoming a very rich country due to your gold export oh sorry! your jute export. Pakistan is among a rich country among third world countries. I swear to bangla we didn't steal you jute. Sorry it is the time for Jummah Prayer. I am going for the Prayer and my bengali brothers are sitting in front of me playing with the computer in computer lab. Allah Hafiz.

If you can post Bengali Newspaper in bangla--that could be a fine job. Regular updated news can be posted. Internet discussion menu can be opened in order to enable all homeleft Bangladeshi people to join together. That can help ourselves to figure out a possible political solution in the present turbulant crisis. I think that now is the time to clean up the corrupted politics in our country and we need to conduct a massive change in our constitution.

Actually i am just seventeen and i didn,t know much about the accident of between Pakistan and peoples of Bangladesh.But Suddenly i got an intrest in that history i read a lot about the history and i realized you guys had been cheated by the Fucking government of MotherFucker Bhutto (excuse me , but when i think about that i get angry ) Mujeeb-ur-Rahman was the man who loved Pakistan he was really honest with Pakistan and he deserved the government but the man who never been intrested with Pakistan got the government . Bastered bhutto was just wanted the leadership and wanted to eat Pakistan .And now the same thing his daughter doing with Karachi as he did with the peoples of bangladesh . In Karachi the 99% population of people are Muhajir and all they want is jobs in Karachi but Sindhies got all good job in Karachi and these sindhies already got big lands in Interior sindh . I think you are woundering who are those Muhajirs , so muhajir are those peoples who came from UP(in India) and settle thier lives in Karachi , but the sindhies who were alredy lived upthier didn't accept us and trying to press Muhajirs to the wall , Ever since we came in Pakistan,Sindhies hates Muhajir and When Bhutto came to power in 1971 he layed off all those muhajirs who were in good postions and put sindhies on thier places . That was the beging of war between sindhies and Muhajirs . Now Benazir croosed the limit and she will pay for this , yes sure she will . Assalam Alaikum .

I was browsing through Netscape, Pakistan News, and accidently I found Mr. Kazi's home page. I was impressed and then feel ashamed, yes ashamed of my self being a west Pakistani. I feel proud that one of our brother had done such a tremendous job of providing so much information in one page. To all the readers of this splended home page, Lets talk about reunion then talking about division, our fore-fathers did not make this country to devide, to loose against the foreign powers. We never destin to fight until some black sheeps enter our ranks and start the fire. REMEMBER UNITE WE STAND DEVIDE WE FALL Just take it like this, If there were some attroceries done, which is quite right, and very bad, Then in no way one should try to break off from the union. Yes I agree that what ever was done was absolutely wrong, the attroceries done by then leaders of united Pakistan was wrong, and I think that we both have learn our lessons. Lets burry all the hate and all the fire wright here on this net and lets start to talk about reconceliation. Lets talk about the comman things we have and lets talk about being one again. ALL OF YOU GUYS ARE EDUCATED AND HAVE ACCESS TO ALL THE FACTS AND FIGURE So lets get serious in this generation and look that if we combine both the countries as one and join the resources how big we could become. Let's all of us being fruitful like our first founding fathers not like the bhutto family which devide Pakistan. Lets spread the message of Love not hatred. KHUDA HAFIZ FROM PAKISTAN WITH LOVE

comments: Keep your good work. As a former West Pakistani and a witness to the 1971 Pakistani debacle, I can say nothing but the birth of Bangledesh was justified by all established moral and societal standards. The atrocities committed by the West Pakistani troops in "East Pakistan" was nothing but an all out effort to annihilate the Bengali nation. That mission was undertaken by General "Butcher" Khan, who said that he only wants land, not people. I think that Bangledesh should have pursued the World Body to claim damages for the injuries, which Pakistani troops delibrately and systematically inflicted upon Bangledesh.

I am a non-Bengali person who is very much interested in Bengali culture as well as trying to learn more about the people itself. However, I am very appreciative that the Bangladesh Home Pages are available for me to explore and learn more about the culture and the country. You all are doing a wonderful job. Thank you.

Pakistan's per capita income is double of that of great bengla. Pakistani exports are more then double of that of you. I realy love the situation when bengalis near me praises Imran khan, Wasim Akram and othe Pakistani legends. The only game you can play is kabaddi. Pakistan Army is the bibbest Army of the Islamic world (AlHamdu li Allah) and you are a small kid in front of Indian jiant from which you ask for mercy. If you were man enough then you( whole Bengali nation, TErrorist Mukti Bahni, thousands of Bengali Army mebers and the worst enemies of Muslims, Indian Army) wouldn't fight with 55000 Pakistani soldiers, and wouldn't kill non Bengalis. your people come to Pakistan illegaly and work here for their food. The interesting thing about you is that your best people ( Jamaat e Islami ) were with Pakistan. Ha ha ha ha ha! O.K man talk to you agian. Take care. Khuda Khafiz.

Keep up the excelent work. You are doing a great favor to the country. There were a few things that I wanted more information on: I am interested in finding out more details on the privatization of industry in Bangladesh. How much is the government receptive to this issue and what steps are being taken to hasten the process. It would also be useful to find out which multinationals have a presence in Bangladesh and which are the prospective entrants in that the near future. Please let me know if there already exist links to pages containing such information.

I was stationed for the entire time in Khulna , where I lived and worked at the Khulna Sadar Hospital . I still maintain contact with several people that I knew there , who now live either in the UK, Pakistan and/or the USA. At the 35th anniversary celebration of the founding of the Peace Corps , I had the honor of carrying the flag of Bangladesh in the parade of flags on the mall in Washington D.C. I would like to commend you on you Internet presentation and say how nice it is to "talk" to my friends from Bangladesh. If by any chance there are any folks out there that remember a lone American girl living at the hospital in those years , I would love to hear from you . Also welcome any other comments . Thanks again for the lovely presentation and hello to old and new friends

I know that everybody is saying that, but I just had to mention it! I was kinda hoping that you could create a page that would be an index for the web-pages of all Bangladeshi people. I know it will require a lot of work, if it has to be subdivided into 26 other pages (A -Z), but I am sure people would love it. I myself love to surf the net for other Bengali pages, but have not found an easy way to do so. Maybe you could advertise on your page that you want all Bengali people to send you their URL's so that you can index them. If you need extra hardware, then maybe people would be willing to sponsor you. If you need help, maybe you could get other volunteers to work on a certain number of pages(out of the 26), and the links to all the pages could be on your page. Do it any way you want, but if you can do it, I ( and a million others ) will truly appreciate it. Thank you very much! :) <----that's a smiley face, by the way.

I am sure all of us, Bangladeshies will appreciate when they see this in bengali. Please, please, please, make an effort to do it!!! You can handwrite it nicely, or even better, if you can ask someone back home to send you a typed copy of the NA so that you can scan it. THANK YOU. JOY BANGLA......

I grant you that the phonics of the two consonants have become virtually indistinguishable in modern spoken Bengali, but to someone trying to learn to WRITE the language, this could be of great help...

A step to build some positive image of the country. We were living in east Africa (Khartoum, Sudan), as it is not a rich country, so there were no Bangladeshi worker. But we were 13 working in UN or International NGO (like myself). Zahida Bhabi used to make a joke as she knews that at the end of our chat of all us will draw the following conclusion - "Bangladesh is really a wonderful country and people are extremely potential". Citing examples from Parvez's visit to South Africa or my visit to Zimbabww, explaining how our young boys are survining despite of without help from so called emabssy (sory for the language).

comments: Hi, I read these pages with deep sense of amazement. They are intersting piece of information, but dont you think it to be an overzealous approach relying mostly on what can be considered as tea shop talk. Please compare the GNP and per capita income the overall purchasing power and the defense expenditure of both the east and west Pakistan now and you will realize that east Pakistan even after virtually enslaving itself to bharat is way behind West Pakistan in terms of economic growth and development. On the other hand west Pakistan is enjoying a free life with dignity where its markets are not being dumped with bharati products in the name of friendship treaties where it is not being forced into illogical water sharing formula by a powerful neighbour. Do you think now east Pakistan can stop natural calmaties like cyclones or floods. Do you think the world has suddenly developed a love for jute and jute based products and east Pakistan is now overflowing with foriegn exchange. If so then best of luck other wise I see this page as most futile excersie to justify the reasons of stabbing in the back of ones fellow religon people and to justify ehy the land of Mir Jaffer and Mir Sadiq once again repeated its history but this time only with different masters. I am willing to take your abuses just for the sake of telling you the truth. However just for your information I dont reply back to letters containing personal abuses, street language or unfounded arguments leading to pointless discussion, so if you have something other than these to say then reply back.

Hotel until the house was finished that we were to live in. We had a wonderful time. Had a monkey, went to the place where all of the old ship things were sold. Bought a wonderful old lantern! Bought pink pearl ring, etc. Made many wonderful friends. of the Bengalis. After reading over the receipes on your site am glad I had the help of a cook. I worry about the sometimes terrible weather that you have, but I truly wish all of the people only the best of luck. Your country is lovely. If possible, I would like the receipe for Dahl (green pea) soup. I have forgotten the spices. Thank you.

I have always been the only Bengali all my educational life. And now I go to a college, Southern Methodist University, where Bengalis are less abundant. I have tried my best to make some awareness of our culture by assuming leadership roles in execuitve international and multicultural organizations. My attampts have been noted as gracious, but I just feel so much more better when I see this homepage. Sometimes I felt like I was the only Bengali that tried to instill my culture. It is so great to know that somebody is active. Oh well, this message is long enough, but all i wanted to say was you're doing great and keep up the great work, it is definitely appreciated. Sincerely, Zareen P.S. By the way,I am first year female at SMU, and was born in Bangladesh but raised in Houston, Tx since I was 1 1/2 years old. You can email me.

It will showcase student productions from around the world in both traditional and non-traditional media in a variety of categories. As well, there is a conference, trade show for new technologies and an awards gala at the Premiere Dance Theatre.

In the past 1 1/2 years of marriage, I have started to understand quite a bit of Bengali, mainly because I am fluent in Hindi. But, I am really anxious to speak, read and write Bengali, which is definately more difficult. Just recently, I've come across a very good Bengali book and have gone through the first few chapters so far. It is called "Teach yourself Bengali" by William Radice ISBN 0-8442-3752-3. It is by far the best Bengali book I have seen. I had bought 3 different books from Indian stores previously but they were quite poor. I also went through the 4 lessons on your WEB site and found them to be helpful. I would appreciate it if you could continue with these lessons whenever you find the time. Thanks for your efforts.

Unfortunetly, I was a bit dissapointed that you have not included more information about the minority groups in Bangladesh. I was hoping to find more info about the tribals such as the garo people but, unless I`m mistaken, I haven`t found one single sentence. I think it`s important to include every tribe and group that lives there, not just the dominating culture. I would also like to suggest live audio of a babytaxi or a street vender. That would really bring Bangladesh to life! Please tell me if there are any official web sites that contain the information I`m researching. Sincerely, someone who truly loves Bangladesh

I am a student at the American International School here and I am doing my senior project on tea in Bangladesh. I realize that tea in Bangladesh is not the most important topic, but it IS interesting, and perhaps you could add in some information about it. There is pratically no written information on tea (at least not Bangladeshi tea) anywhere,and I'm finding it difficult to get any. I would REALLY appreciate it if you could direct me to any resources or contacts that you know of that would be helpful. Again, I learned a lot, and was entertained by your site. I think I've spent at least 2 and a half hours on it now, and I have it bookmarked. I hope that you can get back to me ASAP! Thanks! Sincerely, Annie Eisenbraun

comments: Assalamualikum I have seen some of the images of banladesh on the internet those were especially on Dhaka city. Which i really admire the images which you down-load on the internet, but if you also send information including pictures of other great places like chittagonj, Sylhet (Jaflong) and other unspoilt rural places like the paddy fields and village areas, also some travelling information like which months will be the best time to travel to bangladesh.

Just neme and main ingridiants will do. Itfs super if you can email me the photo or picture of the snaks. I intend to go around the world tasting and filming those snacks, so please tell me where can I get those snacks or drinks. Name of the store or restaurants, their phone numbers and adress, directions...more detail the information the better it is. I'm doing this reserch on the net because I want to get fresh information from real people who knows about the culture the food come from. Some times the information you get from books are stale and out of date. Some dish mentioned in many books are no longer populer among the natives of the culture. And thanks for your help.

comments: I an American and I would like to say that America is well known for being the most generous nation on earth. Whenever people are in need around the world, a lot of Americans pitch in to give money, food and clothing to those that are stricken with some disaster or helping those nations that are impoverished. Some time ago I was listening to a radio program with Paul Harvey. It is a popular radio program here. He stated that when we were experiencing the vast amount of flooding in the central part of our country, not one country in all the world that we have helped lifted a hand to ease our plight except Bangladesh. When I heard Mr Harvey state that your country sent a ship over here, loaded with a generous gift of sand bags and tea it really touched my heart. I would like to personally thank the generous people of Bangladesh and all those involved in that effort for your very much appreciated help when we were in need of it. Thank you so very much, Gary W. Bennett

comments: I know nothing of Bangla pronunciation patterns, but let me suggest that your table shown at http://www.asel.udel.edu/~kazi/bangladesh/primer/bengali_l1.html be revised to include clearer, linguistically transparent descriptions. This will get around the confusion of some entries showing no descriptions whatsoever, and others that offer no help to North American English speakers, etc. For example, American English has identical vowels in "god" and "aarvark", so I do not know the difference between your transcriptions "a" and "A". Is "a" spoken with lip-rounding or not? (If so, then it is similar to British "god".) Most Anglophones in both the U.K. and America do not realize that French/Spanish "t" is different both in position and in aspiration from English "t" -- you could describe more exactly using phrases like "alveolar" versus "dental" or like "retroflex tongue position" versus "flat tongue position". True "aspirate" pronunciation of "t" is not at all the same as English "th" as in "think", which is a fricative dental. The whole business of south Asian dentals/alveolars (n, d, t, ch), of aspiration versus non-aspiration, and of retroflex versus flat tongue position is so very different from European patterns that a crystal-clear delineation of these differences is _fundamental_ to a good description that will make sense to the truly clueless folks out there like me. Thanks! --David N. Wigtil

comments: I am ashamed to admit that I am a Pakistani. After viewing your site and several other documents it has become abundantly clear that the foundations of Pakistan were never strong enough for a civilised existence. It is clear to me that the western regions of old Pakistan lack the human intellect for democracy. They are too far behind in the moral evolution of man. Seperation from such an ignorant and barbaric regime was a logical and heroic decesion by the people of Bangladesh. This is not a minor rebellion it is a human tragedy of epic proportionsstill unrecognised by the nations of the world. Shame on Pakistan army and shame on current day Pakistan for not realizing the barbarity of their crimes. May God have mercy on those who deserve it. Minhaj.

comments: I was using your English to Bangali dictionary today to teach one of my friends bengali words, but it didn't work at all. It kept taking me to another page and didn't give me any translation in bengali. Is the dictionary working or not? If it is not working then I think you need to put some kind of statement that should say that it is not working or under construction so that we do not become confused. I hope you will take care of the problem soon, since it's an important thing on the net I think. Also it would be a great work if you can make it work. I hope my comment will help. Thanks, and looking forward to hearing form you soon.

comments: Many thanks for your "Home Page" I found a lot of the information most useful. In fact I am using your Korma fish recipe this evening. The main reason for visiting your sight is that I work for Newspapers here in Hong Kong, and Europe and will be visiting Bangladesh from Feb 28- March 5th with the ORBIS Airplane which will be carrying out eye surgery, on board the plane in Dhaka, working with local doctors and nurses. I would like to do a couple of travel features while I am there. Any suggestions? Also do you know the location of the place where fishermen use otters to catch fish? Do you know of any families who went to Britain to run successful restaurants and have now returned home? I would like to put some human interest value into the stories I write. Once again thank for your page, I am really looking forward to visiting your Country. Regards Chris

I love the web page and hope it continues. This page would be better if you included all the latest things that are happening in Bangladesh such as fashion, culture, living, movies and life in general. Also some pictures of the country's scenery and pictures of the everyday life would also be intresting. Thank you!

The stone that cannot blossom, How it blossoms, that stone. Its flowers are full of colour. Coloured like the clouds, when the moon lights their edges, Coloured like your eyes, my love, And warm. Coloured like joyful ideas, Full of colour like waves swelling far out to sea. How the stone blossoms. How it blossoms, the stone that cannot blossom... It smells of the wind that blows away wailing, It smells of things that need no explaining, Of blood, Roast chestnuts, Crowds in the streets. It smells of freedom of seeing and feeling And bewitches colourful butterflies. That's how the stone blossoms, The stone that cannot blossom. I'll come back, I'll come back, my love, with one of its flowers. Dutch poem by Arjen Duinker English translation by David Colmer On the site you'll also find basic translations in Portugese, French, German, Spanish, Arabic, Chinese, Russian, Turkish.
