Here is a good example of Bengali cunning - pretending to be
innocent and curious but obviously knowing more than he shows :)
Firstly he says he has nothing personal against Mr Mizanur Rahman
and then he hints at something mysterious about how he left Kuwait :)
I have been living in Kuwait last 5 years, as you well know, and I
know Mr Mizanur Rahman. What would you like me to confirm? Don't be
shy - please pursue your sly agenda driven innuendo.
Sure I can help you understand how they became CIPs - just read the
article that you sent dude! "Each of the five NRBs invested more
than one million dollars in US Dollar Investment Bond and US Dollar
Premium Bond, two saving schemes launched in 2002 for Bangladeshi
expatriates."
Alternatively, as you know Mr Mizanur Rahman, you could just call
him and ask him. But then its not so easy is it for you :) Wonder
why :)
I wonder if Alochona allows such personal threads :)
I wish I could invest a million dollars in my beloved Bangladesh too
sometime in the future. Wish I could be like Mizanur Rahman. Wish me
luck!
Jealousy. It's such a common thing.
