Very enjoyable read. Do update it with all the Dhakai mosholla and hoi-holla. And the naach-gaana promise (a la Bips in Beedi) at your shaadi stands.\n\nCheers!

It sounds like a lot is going on. I was sharing a nice hotel room here in Chiang Mai with a few grantees when I heard that the Prime Minister, I think, I said the job is just too much. People were in the streets and I thought, Mahmud. I come to Thailand and there's a coup, you go to Bangladesh and there's people rioting in the streets. Life just keeps on, doesn't it?

The worst, possibly, is the twisted, unredeemably corrupt dictatorships that even local self-government bodies have become. Let alone state governments, when even the panchayat can't help, it's each to his own. And so, in the land where I grew up, it is anarchy. Loot or be looted. Ah well. Best not to look! Hope you've settled in at the apartment, Mahmud, and good luck. :) Everything I read about Bangladesh politics resonates with the muck of Indian politics that I’ve seen over the years – more of the same, differing only in quantity and scale as one goes higher or lower down the hierarchy.

I wish you were in Oakland, but I also hope you will have a productive and good year in Dhaka. Good luck! The news everywhere is indeed bleak, but I hope just being back there will make up for it somewhat. Hi Mahmud,
