Point to ponder

Before we set-off for a decades long celebration trip, I have a very simple question to the wise men and women at the helm of affairs. If steel has such great prospect as to have convinced Tata to come to Bangladesh, why were our own steel mills allowed to decompose and die a painful death? Is there anyone to question the responsible? And, is there anyone to guarantee that there will be no national losses like this in the future? I am sure the answer would be -- think about the gain!

What's the point people are trying to prove? Is it that we are not capable of managing and running large scale enterprises or that we are fully capable of bleeding the lifeline of a nation's backbone (industries) to death. Besides steel, think about jute, our sonali ansh, the fibre that used to bring us gold. All is changed now (refer to Adamjee and many other jute mill closures). And the story goes on. The solace is, we have learned from the politicians to be prepared to face any disaster and that the nation is marching towards a great future with growth in every sector (I dare not elaborate the sectors). I guess we all have to wait and see where the wise men and women take us to. After all, there is no harm in looking forward.
