"Shopping centres of Dhaka"

This is in response to Mr. SU Ahmed's letter in the DS on February 6, 2004.

My observations on 'Shopping centres of Dhaka' were aimed at not on scrutinising the article, but at pointing out a few of several factual errors for the benefit of the readers. I enjoy a good professional and social rapport with the authors that spans more than two decades. Please be informed that I have reviewed international journal articles on Dholai Khal, and the DS published several articles by me on urban issues in the early 1990s.

Perhaps I should start writing again, as Mr. Ahmed suggested, starting with 'Dhaka's antiquity' which certainly goes several centuries.
