Some experience, you never forget! Last week, I had an interview in an English Medium School for an IT position. When I went there I saw that the principle was busy with jobs that had nothing to do with academic issues.
The environment was anything but academic. When shall we change ourselves and be dynamic and modern in our outlook?
In response to my letter published in DS on April 21 regarding James' rendition of Hindi song at a concert on Pahela Baishakh, Mr. Nazmus Saquib, in his letter in DS on April 27, 2008, tried to enlighten me and I aptly appreciate his kind effort.

I refer to the letter of Mr. Harun-or-Rashid published on 24 April, 2008 with the caption - "Full Page Daily, Please.

Recently, I purchased a computer and took it to Khulna from Dhaka as I'm a student of Khulna University. After I reached Khulna Sonadanga bus terminal, I had to face transport problem.
