Dear Alochok Shamim
Greetings toyou from sunny Kuwait!
It is indeed important to keep a clear perspective and thank you for
the timely reminder.
In this case however there is no question of demoralisation as the
thinking is already in the right direction.
Its a good sign that Dr Yunus scores well in strong polls and in wak
polls :)
Its a good sign that Dr Yunus scores well in a poll driven by voters
from Muslim countries :)
Its a good sign that we can rest assured that Dr Yunus is already on
many UN lists :)
The tragedy is that there is no polling on the intellectual abilities
of Hasina or Khaleda!!! Though Hasina would beat Khaleda because she
has a degree. Oh man! Our standards are high in Bangladesh!
Have a nice day
Regards
Ezajur Rahman
Kuwait
