This morning (28.07) I went out of the compound (i am on vacation) to see the impact of last night's torrential rain. Waist deep water, pulled up my slacks and in a knee deep water watching the plight of the stranded traffic. PM's office is just few metres on my left. I was told, two ministers got stranded here, one used a rickshaw to cross after some time, other was waiting in the car. I took few shots in my mobile of the stranded vehicles and passing rickshaws with people. If one travel to Chittagong by road can observe the plight of traffic, kanchpur bridge to sayedabad. A sane person can not understand the situation in a free country. Moving around dhaka's congested road any day any time is unthinkable - a 12th century transport speed. All the sufferings emanating from these is not only a result of corruptions but something more. A normal human with reasonable thinking ability can easily find a solution to any of these problems that could be reasonably solved within few years and would have been solved long ago. The reason why these were not solved because our thinking pattern has been retarded by our prejudices. we can not think, we can only bark like animal. How much will take to level the road infront of old airport building, how much will take to make an overbridge upto kanchpur bridge or widen the road called gate way or life line of our economy? Not the amount our government can not afford but what they can not afford is 'thinking of building something that do not help their own interests'. I would think, we all can fairly understand that, but our embeded thinking pattern do not guide us to take a stand and rise above everything to releave us from the daily sufferings. Last few weeks frustration agravated to further despair after seeing the flooded road and that also infront of the PM's office. Results of inactions, the inaction from either side - the policymakers and thinking people all equals to criminality. A criminal can only let people pass their lives in such a in human conditions. We have been ruled by criminals and we supported them as criminals. No definition and no analogy is better suited to our conditions. from dhaka --- On Sat, 18/7/09, ezajur <ezajur.rahman@q8.com> wrote:
