Cricket and Mohakhali flyover

Nobody seems to understand the insult that is being heaped on us and the 'glorious animal'. Yes, I am talking about our chicken cricketers. If one had a little shame, one would have removed this tag long ago. Please remove this very undeserving title of TIGERS from this cricket team for which we are destined to spend millions with no results.

But then we are also throwing billions to build mausoleums for our party chiefs. The day I have the reins of this country I promise you there will be a mausoleum on each of my family members' graves. Isn't that a great idea for a country where millions are still deprived of the basic needs of life?

As for the flyover, even a lay person could see that it will only multiply the traffic jam in the area. But the Barrister and his advisers couldn't see it. What an unfortunate nation we are. I think we should get rid of all the traffic engineers and consign them to Timbuktu to learn a bit of traffic engineering.
