Dristipat is Doing a great job

These days are going on in exam mode. Soon it will be over. And, hopefully, I will have some now realizations by then to write about.
However a forum of expat Bangladeshi's has recently opened its London Chapter, besides its four existing U.S. chapter. (http://www.drishtipat.org ).
This organization is mainly composed of professionals -the white collars. If the members of this organization can do something meaningful for the blue collar people then that will reduce the mounted skepticism of common people in Bangladesh about the sincerity and patriotism of higher educated Bangladeshis.
By best wishes for Drishtipat.

Shashi Tharur is running for UN Secretary general position. We got one from Asia long ago -U Thant from Myanmar. But, perhaps a South Asian is going to be represented oon to be the leader of this world organization that is seriously under pressure of reforms to get closer to new development challenges of a new millenium.
