Fashion shows
Textiles and apparels manufacturing industries often arrange fashion show to popularise their products. Fashion show, in recent days, is no more a part of fashion business.
 
An appeal
We, the people of greater Sylhet, ie.
 
Can you change your history?
If anyone asks this silly question in any civilised society, people would laugh at him. But it is happening here in Bangladesh.
 
Arms race in the subcontinent
This is in response to Mr. O H Kabir's letter about arms race in the subcontinent. I strongly disagree with Mr. Kabir's opinion/suggestion to upgrade Bangladesh Air force with F-16.
 
Indo-Pak series
It is always nice to see two giant teams collide when it comes to watching cricket; and one of the biggest cricketing clashes is the India-Pakistan series. Indians took on the Pakistanis on home soil.
 
Draft resolution against Bangladesh
It was amusing to read from some Bangla newspapers during the last few days that a draft resolution against Bangladesh has been tabled by some MEPs at the European Parliament (EP).
 
Queen's English
The above captioned letter by Dr Richard Murphy is a refreshing change from the usual run of the mill dry and didactic pieces.
 
DU English Department
The English department at DU is one of the places from where a number of students come out every year and they are playing an important role in building our country.
 
Employment in Kuwait
Kuwait has a very good record of paying lucrative salaries to our expatriates.
 
Public money
Every day the prime minister and other ministers are visiting different parts of Bangladesh using public money.
 
Ban student politics
Needless to say, ours is a developing country. Every day people are coming to the capital from villages to find jobs. We need to build more and more profitable sectors and employment.
 
Wail of a son
I would like to thank Molla Mohammad Shaheen for his letter captioned "Wail of a widow" that was published in the Friday issue of The Daily Star.
 
Anti-Ahmadiyya campaign
I have a blunt question.
 
Strengthen BDR
The current border situation shows that we need a stronger Bangladesh Rifles. BSF is stronger than the BDR. They are more than 100,000 strong while BDR has only 30,000 members.
 
BCS exams
Some of our national dailies have published news and letters about the new system that will be adopted by PSC for the coming 27th BCS. A debate is going on about elective subjects and academic attainments.
 
Savar factory collapse
A lot has been written about the collapse of the nine-storied garment factory.
 
CCC election
CCC election will be held on 9th May. Now Chittagong is very busy with the election related activities. Chittagonians are enjoying it. They are going to elect the mayor.
 
Making parliament effective
My regards to Mr. Abdul Latif Mondal, a former secretary of GoB, for initiating the very important issue of making parliament an effective institution.
 
Royal wedding
The recently held royal wedding has united two long time lovers Prince Charles and Camilla Parker.
