I had a dream last night-- a dream of hope . The world had opened another chapter; though lots of the countries both in the developed world like England and developing world like India, Bangladesh, Pakistan had stepped forward by electing women to run the country, the US for the first time elected Hilary R Clinton as the president. Earlier this year, people of the US elected Nancy Polesi as the speaker of the house.

Around the same time, Bangladesh elected the head of the newly-formed party DSE (Democrats for Social Economy) as the chief executive of the country. During the interim government a fair and healthy environment for election had been created by the team of caretaker advisers backed by our armed forces. Operation "clean politics" by the joint forces was a huge success. Along with that the separation of judiciary and administration, a competent team of anti corruption department and an independent banking sector set the check and balance of money and politics. The new head is not a trained politician; he is a banker, economist, poverty alleviator and socially responsible businessman. He is in the frontline among the advocates to bring capitalism to its maturity by morphing it to the socially responsible corporations.

The business and trade community formed a coalition to bring him to this responsibility. For the first time in Bangladesh history, people found a role model. Parents found an example to show their children to aim for. A person who live by example. Business and trade community saw an opportunity to take their business to the next big leap. They saw the

opportunity that opens through the personal friendship between Yunus and Hilary, the leader of the poorest and the leader of the richest, the executive of the smallest economy and the executive of the biggest economy, the problem solver of the poorest of the Arkansas under her husband's governorship and the problem solver of the poorest country, partnering with her country while she is the president. They are in a mission to develop a formula.

As part of my daily routine, I went to office, did my regular job. Like most of the days, we Bangladeshis meet during the lunch at the cafeteria. I bring up my dream to the conversation. Not surprisingly, most of them have a somewhat similar view.

I earnestly hope my dream will come true.
