Dhaka Airport Third terminal is installing a 1 GBPS bandwidth Wi-Fi Network (with cyber defense included). Tk. 48 crore project.

That is more of a macho positive reputation for heroes of Bangla vernacular films. :)

Apu was a Hindu, now she is a Muslim. Maybe she will change her religion again, given the right circumstances. This sort of thing by showbiz people, just to appease the public opinion - is unwarranted and hypocritical. But given her station in life as a three dollar actress in third-rate...

There you go. Started already. Manipur 2.0

Well said. My point was that with BJP at the helm, WB govt. will try to cause trouble at the border, starting with push-ins of "Muslims" who they will term as "illegal Bangladeshis". Some vloggers are urging Bangladesh to heavily upgrade all military capabilities including drones and missiles...

It is clear that three factors were used in colluding and stealing the WB election by BJP. 1. SIR process disenfranchising Muslim voters in WB. They could not vote. 2. Collusion of the corrupt CEC in that state, which was in BJP pockets 3. Deployment of Central Forces (CAPF) which hobbled...

153 Yuan translates roughly to US$22 at current exchange rates, which is very reasonable for a two person meal for a touristy area. Good to know and Thanks for posting the menu/pricing. I figured as much - my bad. Appreciate the correction.

Xizang (guessing former name was Lhasa) is a lovely city - now modernized thanks to Chinese investments and technology. The combination of Chinese culture and Tibetan culture is a dynamite combination and I'm sure contributes to a very interesting and enjoyable stay, cuisine being a large part...

Yes - long term prospects are actually better than India, once Indians stop fiddling with Bangladesh politics and de-stabilizing our country. If these murkh gandoos figure out that a stable Bangladesh is better for their future business prospects, that is.

The theft and massive looting in the banking sector has to be stopped. Single biggest factor in our not achieving economic goals. These thieves and looters have to be taken out (I mean taken out by whomever possible) to stop the bleeding. This is a must. Looters have become too bold and...

Nepalese restaurant food is not very different from Bangladeshi or Pakistani cuisine. Bangladeshis like Mughal food typically when they go to restaurants, which is unlike what you find in say, South India with their typical cuisine. Same for Pakistani folks. Biryani is a staple.

Although furious back-pedaling on this bit of bad economic news continues in Indian media, the obvious is visible to all in non-Indian circles. So much for superpower dreams. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bangladesh to edge past India in per...

https://powerhousetradingllc.com/about-us/ This is basically a brand new Bangladeshi company, based in the US.... Probably connected to some BNP bigwig. Someone in Bangladesh is getting some fat kickbacks.

Banglkadesh has to decide first whether it will model its locomotives on European-standard or US standard locomotives, coaches and wagons. They are very different in practice and usage. US standard locomotives, coaches and wagons are simpler and far more robust in comparison. Although standard...

This "researcher" needs to do a bit more "research" about railway history (even Bangladesh Railway related history) in his retirement. My apologies, his article reminds me of the American truisms "Captain Obvious" and "No $hit - Sherlock!"

The reasons for frequent derailments in Bangladesh are because they always choose and source third rate low class low weight Indian rail trackage, 40/50 lbs at best. The high speed bullet rain trackage used in USA (and Korea as well, as I've personally observed) is 100 lbs or 50 KGs. Yes -...

Any deal (CEPA or otherwise) with India will always be at the advantage of India and at a disadvantage to Bangladesh, trade-wise. If Bangladeshis haven't realized this by looking at trade history between both countries in the last fifty years - then when will they? This is not an emotional...

I'd advise the honorable finance minister along some points - maybe he can consider these. Being well-traveled across Asia, he is aware, I'm sure on the strengths and weaknesses of the Bangladesh export economy. The most promising labor intensive export sectors in Bangladesh - looking at...

The question should not be either/or. It should be both road transport AND rail. The pussy-footing and hypocritical caricature posturing has to stop, action needs to replace memos, bulletins and reports. Dhaka Chittagong corridor had become critical some two decades ago and needed to be a six...

Thanks for the pictures brother! I hope to take the Beijing to Lhasa Z21/Z22 express (boarding in Xining onward to Lhasa to reduce fatigue) which a lot of Bangladesh travelers do, by flying into Xining. https://www.tibettour.org/tibet-train/beijing-to-lhasa-train.html Flying back from...
