The festivity of Eid-ul-Fitr s...

Bangladesh has 834 people per square kilometre, according to a 2001 census of the country, population of 144 million people, making it one of the most crowded in the world. I met one carpenter Salim Hossen Gaus from southwestern Jessore district. This Bangladeshi man that has come up with a novel idea to get away and escape from life’s pressures. Everyday he winches himself 30m (100 feet) in a precarious homemade pulley to a small wooden platform at the top of a palm tree. He built the ...

Work brings me to Dhaka.. Weather is not so good here, was informed that it is monsoon season so I'm here in my hotel room watching the semi-finals of the Roland Garros writing this blog that will remind me or my first impression of the city.  This blog is basically for me =)I know that this is one of the poorest countries in the world, but when I stepped in the International airport, the first thing I've noticed is that their airport looks so much better than the ones in New Delhi (whic...

The time goes by quite quickly and we&nbs...

Crossing the Indian - Bangladesh border near Siliguri (India) was my first experience of being a genuine VIP (Very Important Person), both the Indian and Bangladesh border guards gave all the egards to me if I were the Queen of Holland myself (which would involve a desperate sex changing operation). They offered me soooo many cups of tea that my bladder almost exploded. The Bangladeshi border officials even arranged an authentic rickshaw ride on a tricycle cart to the next town which make me ...

When we finally reached the place, the magical rays of the sun had already finished playing its part in the clouds. We started seeing the effects of green and red in the sky but were unable to snap it. Then it started becoming red and bright. The sun started going up. Lush greenery becoming visible all around.
