Third world?


From the text books since childhood we all know very well that ours is a poor, third world country. Hello everyone, is this a third world country you think ? Whenever you step on the road you see Lexus, Pajero V6 and all other luxury cars competing to increase their numbers. Everywhere shopping malls having the varieties of imported branded products are available. All latest commodities of life are now in Bangladesh. We all are now eager to have Pizza Hut, maybe very soon McDonalds.

Is it a poor country ? I am confused! People are even arranging Car Shows. The elite society just shuts their eyes while the poor are in front of them. Curiously , in Baridhara one side of the street is having those buildings competing with each other for more glamour and in another side slums are competing to lose everything . Is there any end to this cycle?
