Digital Mapping of Dhaka

Digital mapping of Dhaka is going on in full force. The main areas of Dhaka has already been mapped, and the rest are under process. Google Map is pioneering the project.
If one just types Uttara, Dhaka on Google Map or Google Earth, he/she will be directed to the area straightaway. The main roads are clearly marked as well.
Satellite Navigation in Bangladesh is not so far away now.

Great to hear that. Some Japanese reconditioned cars comes with fitted in Sattellite Navigation.

But still some commercial ventures should come forward to make them available in Bangladesh.

I wonder how the markets in India are doing in this field. Their 1st GPS Navigation System looks promising at 16000 INR.

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।

Challenges posed by globalisation in operations management of a global company

1. Introduction Globalisation of organisations is a phenomenon that has received much attention and been extensively discussed at cultural levels as well as at market and business levels. A company is considered global when more than half of its revenue comes from outside its home continent. (Gabrielsson, 2006) In any globalisation process, distribution of goods and services between and within international industrial and consumer markets is of great importance. Globalisation removes the tangible and intangible borders. The intangible borders being the cultures and norms.

Habib - Bhalo Bashbo (Lyrics)

I am addicted to this song.The song is by Habib Wahid who sung it for the movie 'Hridoyer Kotha'. Amazing song. I have been listening to the song for last one week day in day out and still can't get enough. I have had numerous requests to translate the meaning of the lyrics. I am not a poet/lyricist, therefore, I am not confident enough to translate such a lovely piece of work in English. Below is the transliteration of lyrics of the Song. Bhalo Bashbo re bondhu tomay jotone Amar moner ghore chander alo chuiya chuiya pore Pushe rakhbore bondhu tomay jotone Dudhe alta gayer boron rup je kancha shona Anchol diya dhaika raikho chokh jeno pore na Ami prothom dekhe pagol hoilam Monto aar mane na Kache aisho bondhu premer karone Bhalo baisho re bondhu amay jotone Nishi bhore jonak nache monero gohin bone Shopno dekhao bondhu tumi niguro alingone Tomay maya dilam shohag dilam nilam apon kore Pashe thakbore bondhu tomar karone Bhalo bashbore bondhu tomay jotone ভালোবাসবো বাসবো রে
