City within a city

This may sound like a commercial. No, this is not a shopping mall, this is not an advertisement for a supermarket. This is the present picture of a residential place called Dhanmondi. Yes, this is the once Dhanmondi residential area now which can be termed as the capital of Dhaka. It may sound funny and sarcastic but the reality is as follows:
Once a calm, quiet, lush green residential area, it is now one of the busiest areas in Dhaka (2nd to Gulshan of course because of Gulshan's unique commercial use as office district). With its planned roads and plot/building layouts, Dhanmondi certainly has the infrastructure which the capital city Dhaka lacks in many areas.
Apart from the residential apartments and few houses, Dhanmondi has schools, colleges, universities, offices, hospitals, clinics, shops, recreation centres (near bridge # 8) drug stores, book stores, pastry shops, fast-food shops, kebab and grill houses, all over the so-called residential area. The sound and air pollution has probably crossed all international and local limits. The roads inside Dhanmondi are always clogged up with parked cars, standing rickshaws and all sorts of honking and bells at each and every crossing. The abusive words exchanged between the drivers, rickshaw-pullers, pedestrians are common every day. Though Dhanmondi has all sorts of wanted and unwanted structures what is missing is the open space for the public and children. The mini city lacks playgrounds as it has only 02 sizeable grounds available (Abahani ground near the Shatmasjid Road and Dhanmondi Club ground near the Mirpur Road) but these are not open for the children to play day long due to cricket matches held by the BCB.
So, Dhanmondi is not what we think about it!
