Eid is on 1st January

The Eid Ul Adha will be observed on 1st January 2007 in Bangladesh. The first day of the gregorian calender is Eid!! I think the New Years Eve is going to be a bit different in Bangladesh this year. In UK the Eid Ul Adha will be observed on 30 December 2006 Inshallah.

It's the festive season in the Christian world. I have been missing the festive season as I am now in Bangladesh. I wish all my colleagues and friends in UK a very merry christmas and a very happy new year. Specially to Fai Wan who starts new job on 5th January!! All the best to you Fai! You have been an outstanding colleague at work, and it was an absolute pleasure to work with you!! New year and new job, I bet you couldn't wish for more!!!

Ferdous apu, Pervez bhai, Brishti and Farabih came to our house today. It was really nice to see them after a long time. Ferdous apu hasn't changed a bit. Still really fun to talk to.

My mum's cousin's wedding is going to take place on 25 December Inshallah. My mum's cousin came from Canada to get married here. All of my mum's cousins from Luton and Cardiff (UK) are in Dhaka now. Hoping to have a good time at the wedding Inshallah.

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।

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...

The possibilities and limitations for transferring Japanese lean production work practices to British institutional environment

Introduction: ‘Lean production system’ is a very popular generic mass production management system. It is also known as ‘Toyota Production System’. Lean system develops highly responsive systems whereby companies produce “goods and services exactly when they are needed: not before they are needed so that they wait as inventory, nor after they are needed so that it is the customers who have to wait”. (Slack, 2001) It is based on three key principles, eliminate waste, involving everyone and continuous improvement. The lean system was developed by Taiichi Ohno at Toyota in the 1950s. Taiichi was a manufacturing manager and was facing difficulties because of poor supply conditions. He couldn’t plan ahead as he couldn’t predict the supply of raw materials. This was causing cash flow problems as the plan was making more and more unfinished vehicles that couldn’t be sold. To identify which parts were missing he developed a system for linking production stages together very closely a...
