Put forth aptly

This refers to the letter of Zeeshan K. Huq (writing from Vietnam) DS 9.2.2005. Before going to the main topic it is in order that the DS get some credit for the eye-catching getup put for the letter with the photograph of the India prime minister in person and shadow (or may we say in silhouette) indicating something to ponder upon.

Although I do not fully subscribe to Zeeshan's views, nevertheless, they have a point indeed, probably because, some Bangladeshi expatriates naturally may have a bird's eye view. Seventh time Saarc summit postponement with Indian unwillingness to attend six times thus far, is bound to go down to history. Given that our big brothers always have the upperhand in such cases, Bangladesh must now learn to make the best use of its potentialities and growing maturity.

Having said that, I would like to remind you of the fact that geographically we must take the advantage of being the country of the estuary and a delta that could historically never be rode against the nature -- the people.

All we need is some stability within ourselves.
