Sheikh Hasina's arrest
The small hour drama at Dhanmondi was naturally a newsman's delight. Hundreds of cops including elite ones defying incessant rain cordoned a house where a lady stays 24 hours under state security.

Hilsa export
The average price of hilsa in a Bangladeshi grocery store here in the USA is US $4.50 per pound. Accordingly, a medium-size hilsa costs nine dollars.

Test debacle
The dismal performance of Bangladesh cricket team in Sri Lanka is really heartbreaking. The feel-good factor during the Cricket World Cup now seems light years away.

Butenis' observations
I thank former US Ambassador Ms Butenis for her comment on the political situation in our country. She could read the hearts of people.

Lal Masjid
There is a lesson to learn from the Lal Masjid crisis in Pakistan. The rise of militant outfits like the JMB is an eye opener.

Seven points
Undoubtedly, the present caretaker government has set several examples of combating corruption in the first six months.

Politicians
I want to address the politicians who are delivering lectures on a regular basis. Please trust people and they are much smarter than those old politicians.

Maintain neutrality
When this caretaker administration under the leadership of Dr. Fakhruddin took power in Bangladesh, people heaved a sigh of relief as it ended the misrule and corruption of the BNP-Jamaat government.

We are aghast and just cannot believe that people could stoop so low for money and other earthly possessions.

Somebody (often a politician) is going abroad for better treatment. This is very common news in our daily newspapers.

Reformists or conformists?
