People speak of a New York Minute, which defined by Dictionary.com as: An extremely short period of time. But seemingly, no one has ever heard of a Bangladeshi Minute. A minute in Bangladesh is not a minute which conforms to our general idea of a clock. It would be more correct to compare this magic minute with the Bermuda Triangle than with GMT set standards. Things, events and time somehow float, drift and fly into an inexplicable (X-file like) phenomenon – and when you least expect it –floats back out (or it infinitely drifts in no-man’s-land). Now that can happen at such a high speed that a New York Minute [converted] is a Bangladeshi Second. The reverse is however also possible, where a New York Minute feels like a Bangladeshi hour.
At points Bangladesh has this breathtaking ability to find positive solutions to negative problems. And at the same time it also holds [in lack of a better word] a talent for having negative solutions for positive problems. And most importantly [perhaps a bit too philosophical]: sometimes the solution is the problem and the problem is the solution.

Main purpose of this blog:
- Give my friends and family who I constantly mistreat by never being able to keep in touch, an opportunity to glimpse into my world and for me to get a glimpse into theirs.
- To raise awareness about a country, to whom the international community’s attention for, is limited to cyclones, floods, poverty and over population. –When there is so much more of both “good” and “bad” – and hey, name one country which does not have either of these.
- To discuss with readers the problematique of “under development” and “over development.”
- Being able to ventilate my thoughts without representing anything or anyone but myself.
If you have no clue as to what I wrote before the four points above, all I can say is that I am struggling with that idea myself! Which is why I will explain myself more thoroughly in my next entry, when we will enter into the wilderness of the Bangladeshi Minute and Problem Solving Techniques.
