My country, I am proud of you!
My US born Bangladeshi cousins during their recent visit to Bangladesh found it a wonderful country. In their eyes Bangladesh is full of colours, sounds and lots of lively people. And I felt proud of my country when I received e-mails from them after they returned to the US, saying they loved Bangladesh. Yes, my country, I am proud of you.
I am proud of you because you have gained the label of the most corrupt country in the world.
I am proud of you because the members of your police department don't demand a huge amount of money for bribe. We the average people can please them even with two taka.
For all latest news, follow The Daily Star's Google News channel. I am proud of you because you have nurtured so called religious leaders like Bangla Bhai.
I am proud of you because of your increasing number of education shops -- I am sorry, can't name it better. Nowadays anyone can set up a university.
Every morning I wake up to find news of killings and accidents on the newspapers. That makes me even more proud of you. Should we take it that -- at least some people are doing something to solve our problem of overpopulation?
