Back to Dhaka

Got back to Chittagong by Shohagh Paribahan. The coach service was very good. The seat of the bus has massagers! Amazing. It was a good tour overall. I have been longing to go to Chittagong for a long time. It was like a dream come true for me. But I was disappointed to see the development initiatives (or the lack of it) of Chittagong. There is a clear difference in the pace of the development of Dhaka and Chittagong. I think the government should take more initiatives to convert Chittagong into a world class city.

Chittagong is the place where I was born and I spent first 8 years of my life. So I have a soft spot for this city. But after visiting Chittagong in long intervals I only got frustrated as my memories of Chittagong got shattered.

Bangladesh should take more steps to make it a cosmopolitan.

দুরের মানুষ

ধারাবাহিক নাটক ‘রমিজের আয়না’র থিম গান এর কথা আমার ব্লগ এ উপস্থিত করলাম আমার প্রিয় পাঠকদের জন্য। এ গানটির কথা আমার খুবই প্রিয়। ভাগ্যের খোঁজে ঘরছাড়া সব মানুষের স্বপ্নের কথা নিয়ে এ গান। দুরের মানুষ আসে অচেনা শহর যন্ত্র নগরে কাটে অবাক প্রহর অবুঝ চোখেতে তার কত না স্বপন অজানা বাসনা মনে গহীন গোপন একাকী পথে হাঁটে সে পাশে চলে ছায়া তার বন্ধু তো নয় অচেনা মুখের সারি ভীরুমন ভয় স্বপ্ন ছোঁয়ার সিড়ি দূরে সরে রয় দুরের মানুষ চেনা নিজেকে হারায় অচেনা নিজেকে দেখে চেনা আয়নায় The theme song 'Durer Manush' of drama series 'Romizer Ayna' is one of my favourites from Habib Wahid's voice. It speaks of the people who have left home for a better life. Transliteration of the song follows: Durer manush ashe ochena shohor Jontro nogore kate obak prohor Obujh chokhete taar koto na shwapan Ojana bashona mone gohin gopon Ekaki pothe haate she pashe chole chaya tar Bondhu to noy Ochena mukher shari virumon voi Shwapno chowar shiri dure shore roy Durer manush chena nijeke haray Ochena nijeke dekhe chena...

Noy Nombor Bipod Shonket: Film Review

Another venture by renowned Humayun Ahmed. The film is a 100% meaningless movie. But this is not a drawback of the movie. Although the movie is completely meaningless, it does bring a lot of laughter. Good movie to kill idle time. Rating 6 out of 10. হূমায়ুন আহমেদের চলচ্চিত্র 'নয় নম্বর বিপদ সংকেত' তাঁর পরিচালিত অগনিত অর্থহীন ছবিগুলোর মধ্যে অন্যতম। অর্থহীন হলেও ছবিটি দর্শকদের মনে হাসির খোরাক জোগাবে। প্রথমদিকে ছবির গল্প খুবই এলোমেলোভাবে শুরু হলেও ছবিটি শেষ পর্যন্ত্য উপভোগ্য হয়েছে।

Made in Bangladesh: Film Review

Directed by Mostofa Sarwar Farooki, the film ' Made In Bangladesh ' tried to depict some of the social constraints in Bangladesh. The film started with ambiguous objective at the beginning. The first 20 minutes of the film didn’t help to build the plot at all. But it took a good shape as soon as the main character portrayed by Zahid Hasan took over the DC’s office. The film brought out the some of the worst characteristics of Bangladeshi people from different walks of life. It was an average movie, but it certainly was a good initiative to make a movie with social commitment.
