Wake Up Bangladesh

We Need Proper Planning & Management---The only reason behind this we lag behind from the other country for this....As we can see this picture, this picture is snappend by me somedays before......While i am passing through one of the busiest street of "Mugda" I saw there are the people of DCC (Dhaka City Corporation) digging the street for repairing the basemental pipe line of gas or water. But my question is "Why Noe???" We Know that rainy season is oncoming and in this time digging the road means nothing but the creation of problem for the people.....So wake up Bangladesh and take Proper Planning to prevent this sort of problems.......

Child marriage is a common plight in Bangladesh. The legal age for marriage is 18 for girls, and 21 for boys. However, about half of all girls are married by the age of 15, and 60 per cent become mothers by the age of 19. Early pregnancy and childbirth often lead to health complications. An estimated 50 per cent of adolescent girls are undernourished and suffer from anaemia. Most are not properly educated about reproductive health and contraception, and are often vulnerable to dowry-related violence, kidnappings and rape. So wake up Bangladesh and stop child marriage.........

Everyday we the people of Bangladesh face a problem that is known as traffic jam....And it is the most common problem of our country......By these we are losing our valuable time....
The traffic jam in Dhaka city is caused due to the (i) ill-planned roads with numerous U-turn, roundabout, traffic signal and speed breakers located rationally, (ii) pedestrians, auto-drivers, motorcyclists and traffic police show least respect to the traffic rules, (iii) public transport mostly lacks road fitness, (iv) traffic signs on city streets are in adequate, clumsy and not according to international norms (v) privileged including the uniform personnel care little for traffic regulations, (vi) 18 railgates of Dhaka city close 82 times daily jamming the traffic flow at rail gates, (vii) beggars, street vendors and pedestrians seriously hinder traffic movement at road signals, (viii) rickshaw peddlers, motorcyclists and auto rickshaw drivers hinder traffic movement creating serious road accident risk, (ix) street sides at busy commercial areas lack adequate parking space, (x) buses, trucks and other big automobiles stop wishfully caring little for public inconveniences, (xi) bus stops and terminals are neither planned nor inadequate consequently create traffic blockades, (xii) inter-district bus, truck and other type of automobile run through the city streets creating traffic problem.

In Bangladesh most people still buy their daily household food requirments from markets located in their neighbourhood. There are fish markets, meat markets, vegetable, fruit markets and small shops selling other grocery items. They are all close to each other. ar, quite close to each other. Fish and vegetables are also sold by travelling vendors who come to your door step. Near the market there are general stores where you can buy refirgerated materials like milk, drinks etc. In the markets one has to bargain the price.
Bangladesh has always been famous throughout the subcontinent for its sweets. In the olden days there were some famous names like Maranchand and Kalachand sweets. Now their next generations are carrying on the business as Maranchand and sons and Maranchand and grand sons etc. There are some new sweet shops now which are popular like Alauddin (Green Road), Muslim sweets (Shegun Bagicha and Shanti nagar), Ambala (Dhanmondi R/A) etc. They all sell the standard sweets like raw-shoh-gohl-la, shawn-desh, chawm chawm, kaalo jaam, raw-shoh maalaai, mishti doi, praan hara, jilebi etc. For all these sweets the main ingredients are milk and sugar. In some new upmarket shops in Gulshan area in Dhaka they have started experimenting and developing modified versions of these sweets to suit the modern palate, who are used to western sweets
Bangladesh is also famous for its street food though foreigners should be careful becasue of the hygiene maintained by these street vendors. It is easy to get upset stomach and diarrhoea if you are not used to spicy food. People have also been known to have come back from Bangladesh with typhoid or jaundice because of having taken street food. When trying out street food ensure the following:
(a) the place is cleand
(b) the food is prepared in front of you (dont take pre-prepared food)
(c) the person preparing the food is wearing clean clothes and his body and hands look clean. Watch him for sometime and observe him - how he handles his food, where he wipes his hand, what else he does while preparing the food etc.
(d) how the food is served
(e) what type of water is used for cleaning utensils and oil for fying

Dhaka with less than 10 per cent open space belongs to amongst the world's highest populous cities where 40,000 people live/km2 but the well planned cities have over 25 per cent open space. The ill-planned, ill-maintained and ill-managed road networks in Dhaka metropolis presently cover 3,500 Km or less. The city roads have only 500 Km footpath. The footpaths even the RoWs are occupied by 2.0 million squatters, hawkers, beggars, shopkeepers and developers leaving no share to the pedestrians. The traffic loads in Dhaka streets numbering cars (1,50,000), Jeeps/Microbuses (58,000), Taxis (11,000), Buses (78,000) Minibuses (8,500), Trucks (28,000), Auto-rickshaws (14,500), Motorcycles (2, 12,000) and other vehicles (17,000). There are over 800,000 rickshaws, rickshaw vans, pushcarts, bullock carts in addition to occupy part of the city streets. The length of automobiles accounts for 17,50 Kms in total whereas the length of rickshaw alone is over 15,00 Kms. The length different automobiles cover is 600 Km for car, 35 Km for Jeeps/Microbuses, 55 Km for Taxis, 4,70 Km for Buses, 45 Km for Minibuses, 1,70 Km for trucks, 30 Km for Auto-rickshaws, 3,50 for Motorcycle and smaller transports and 15,00 Km for Rickshaws and non-motorised transports.

There were many bus stop in Dhaka city, but at present if we take a look on that bus stop we will see that the bus stops are not available now.....My question is why????We all should search the answer of this.....

Bangladesh is the one small but populated country. And Dhaka is the capital of Bangladesh, which is also populated. There is several living of styles and many people work on several occupation. You say that it is the combination of varieties. So variety people and varieties event occur here every day which is so much interesting.
Some of the experiences are enjoyable and some of the experiences are horrible. But both experiences are useable for our life. Not only for citizen of Dhaka but also for all people in the world. If people know the situation and can get information how to handle the situation they can overcome many problems in their daily life.
As we can see in the given picture a huge wastage is being kept over the footpath and it results a suffering situation for the People.....

In Bangladesh breaking the riverside is most common scenario for all of us....People who use to live in the riverside they are the most victim of the breaking of the riverside and it brings a huge loss for Bangladeshi people.....We all should come forward and do something for the affected people of riverside....

In Bangladesh there are many people who doesn't have any home for their living. As a result they went out and use to live their life in streets and these people are called the homeless as well as helpless people.......So Banladeshi people wake up and try to help this people if you can................

Bangladesh is the one small but populated country. And Dhaka is the capital of Bangladesh, which is also populated. There is several living of styles and many people work on several occupation. There are many event occurs. Some of the experiences are enjoyable and some of the experiences are horrible. As we can see on the given picture it is an unexpected and horrible experience for us.....Hope this kind of scene will not repeat again....

The Earth is heating up. The early warning signs of global climate change are in -- heat waves and warmer weather, spreading disease, breaking soil...Global warming is the increase in the average temperature of Earth's near-surface air and oceans since the mid-20th century.....In Bangladesh it efforts a lot and it cause a huge loss.....Wake up Bangladesh and try to get rid from this problem....

Wearing a helmet is the single most effective way of reducing head injuries and fatalities resulting from motorcycle and bicycle crashes. Wearing a helmet has been shown to decrease the risk and severity of injuries among motorcyclists by about 70%, the likelihood of death by almost 40%, and to substantially reduce the costs of health care associated with such crashes. The importance of increasing helmet use follows dramatic growth in motorization around the world, largely from increasing use of motorized two-wheelers, particularly in Asian countries. In China, for example, motorcycle ownership over the last ten years has increased rapidly. In 2004 it was estimated that more than 67 million motorcycles were registered in the country, and approximately 25% of all road traffic deaths were among motorcyclists and their passengers. But in Bangladesh this rule is being broken by the people....But for safety reason I think every bike rider should wear helmet....

In the picture we can see that a cap of the manhole is open and the manhole is situated over the road, where many vehicles are running everyday....As a result the driver of the vehicle has to be very careful while driving. Otherwise they and their vehicle will fall in a big trouble......So it is our duty to raise our voice against such kind of things.....

Rules are there to make us more disciplined..... or is it?...... for some, its nothing more than a guideline to be undisciplined..... they're only meant to be broken..... if the rule-makers don't deserve respect, their rules would also face the same fate......
At least he is respectfully not doing it directly upon the notice!!!. In our streets all drivers of public vehicles do it daily, if figuratively. However, all their vehicles have a prominently painted injunction al the rear "traffic ayin mene cholun" (= obey traffic rules). I think the idea of painting it at the rear implies it is meant for the vehicle following him, not for himself. Wake up Bangladesh and obey the traffic rule......

Living free from violence is a human right. Yet millions of women and girls around the world encounter rape, domestic abuse, mutilation and other forms of gender-based violence. Too often no one is held accountable for these crimes. In Bangladesh the rate of the violence against women is greater than any other country. We can urge governments to hold perpetrators responsible and put an end to this cycle of violence against women. Take action to stop violence against women!!!!

Bangladesh is the one small but populated country. And Dhaka is the capital of Bangladesh, which is also populated. There is several living of styles and many people work on several occupation. You say that it is the combination of varieties. So variety people and varieties event occur here every day which is so much interesting.
Some of the experiences are enjoyable and some of the experiences are horrible. But both experiences are useable for our life. Not only for citizen of Dhaka but also for all people in the world. If people know the situation and can get information how to handle the situation they can overcome many problems in their daily life.
In Dhaka many in many area foothpath is being blocked by many people.....By which all the people have to suffer from many problems.....

In this picture we can see that it's a building....it's a building as well as it's a hospital. It was not a hospital either. It was a lake and it was known as "Mugda Jhil". But look at picture now we just for one profit we have just lost one of our lake. As a result people of that area suffer from flood every year in the rainy season. The reason is that rain water have no other place to flow and our drainage system is to weak to solve this problem.

Bangladesh bans smoking in public places. Bangladesh Parliament passed a bill imposing a ban on smoking at public places and in public transports, as well as on advertisement of tobacco products. According to that bill Health and Family Welfare Minister Khandakar Mosharraf Hossain introduced the bill titled "Smoking and Tobacco Usage (control) Act, 2005", which prohibits publication of advertisements of tobacco products in newspapers, books, magazines, radio and television broadcasts, as well as in cinema. In this bill there are an act that imposes Tk. 50 fine on open smoking, but people of Bangladesh are not aware of this act and they are violating the act everyday....

In our country there are many children use to live in the streets. The reason behind this is they are not well in economic side. Many of these children are homeless. Thus they use live in the foothpath. They are so helpless and they don't even know about their rights. Every time they are being deprived from their basic rights.....So my request to you all please Stay Before the Street Children and help them as far as you can......Try to give their basic rights of living in a house, getting proper nutritions and other basic human rights.

Look at the given picture......Is it looking so great???I don't thing so. I think it's a picture of our whimsical. In the picture there are many wires are hanging without planning. Here many kind of wires are hanging such as telephones wire, internet wire, electric wire and many other. And these wires are arranged in such a haphazard way that it is looking so ugly. When people see it from far it looks something like the net of a spider man......

In Bangladesh there are many footoverbridge for crossing the road. These over bridges are only for the people that they can cross the road safely. But at present we can see that people of Bangladesh are not using that bridges properly. They use to cross the road by foot. As a result many road accident are happening and vehicle drivers are failing in danger while they drive.... So wake up Bangladesh and use footoverbridge properly....

Unemployment….one of the major problems of Bangladesh and people of Bangladesh more or less familiar with this problem. The reason behind this familiarity is- in almost every house of Bangladesh you can find unemployed people. The shocking news is that many people of these houses are well enough for a better job, but as we all know that in Bangladesh there are a scarcity of jobs. And some jobs are not well enough for a graduate student. As a result many brilliant students of Bangladesh are working for the multinational organization and in foreign organization and giving their best for other country. Thus Bangladesh and we the Bangladeshi people are not getting their skill hand and their invisible power…….

When we go outside we see that in many point of our street there are many police working to control our traffic system, they are known as traffic police. They are being employed for control the traffic system, but look at the picture….”what are you guys watching???” Here you can see that how the power of a traffic police is being misused or you can see they are getting burden for the people. In the left picture you see that a traffic police is taking money and breaking traffic law by giving the vehicle the chance of the “U” turn. So my question is “what is the work of a traffic police???”

In Bangladesh there are many activities that people should avoid, but we the people of Bangladesh more and more involving in those kinds of activities. Drug addiction is one of them. People of Bangladesh are being destroyed of this curse and the main affected people of this curse are our youth community. Drug is a thing that destroys people’s thinking capability and turns people’s life into death. So wake up Bangladesh and say no to drugs.

“Pohela Boishakh” is one of the biggest festivals of Bangladesh. In this day people of Bangladesh receive a new year cordially. Many programs are being arranged to celebrate the day. It’s like a reunion of all Bengalis. Many traditional foods are eaten and traditional dresses are worn by the people. In this day people lost in their own culture.

But in present day we can see that we are getting westernized, which we called “modern”. In the name of modernization we are doing something that is not our nature and not our culture. That is only adoption of other culture. Take a look of the picture……Normally we enjoy “Pohela Boishakh” traditionally as I said before, but now a days many people arranging DJ party to celebrate the day which is not in our culture………

Dowry system….a common phenomenon of Bangladesh. It is being seen in rural area. It is a process where the bride family gave to give something to the bridegroom family. For these many poor families daughter is remaining unmarried. If they marry they have to face the problem of dowry. And the most sufferer of this problem is the rural people. But they don’t know about the law where dowry is strictly prohibited. Giving or taking dowry is the breaking of the law and is a crime…….

In Bangladesh we know there are huge shortages of electricity. Moreover in many areas over here have no electricity. In rural area the electricity is only a show. Maximum time people don’t get electricity at all. Look at the picture. It’s a picture of a governmental organization. People are not present, but the fan is on, as a result we are wasting our electricity……So my request to you all please save electricity and use it only when necessary.

The 21st February…..what is the special thing about this day??? The answer is so simple: it is our declared as our “MARTYRS DAY”, because of the contribution of our language martyr for our mother tongue “Bangle”. Now a days this day is celebrated as “International Mother Language Day”. Bengali people celebrate this day in respect to our martyrs. In this day people use to go to the “Shahid Minar” (which symbolizes our pride and respect for our language martyrs) and give flower to show their honor and I am really sorry to say that the honor that is shown by us is only for one day. The rest of the of the year our “Shahid Minar” is being kept in a haphazard manner, which shows our disrespect…..So wake up Bangladesh ……

Look at the picture.... That's a picture of Bangladesh. In this picture we can see that people are travelling in the train with so many risk. Normally people face this kind of situation in any vacation time such as Eid day, Puja, Chrismas day and many other traditional and religious festivals. We know that there are a shortage of transport in Bangladesh. For this reason people are taking risk of their own life. Wake up Bangladesh and avoid such kind of risk.........

"Corruption" the most familiar word for Bangladeshi people. Because we all are the victim of corruption. Corruption is hardly a victimless crime. Whoever related with corruption are also a victim of this virus. The reason for calling this practice as virus, because it destroys our inner feelings. If we take a look about this virus we will see that the most corrupted person's of our country are the political leaders and elite persons of our society. Chad and Bangladesh are the most corrupt countries on Earth, according to an annual survey of world corruption released in 2010. That is not at all a good sign for us. So wake up Bangladesh and fight against corruption.

As we can see in this picture the common side our country, our poverty. How helpless people over here. They have no abode for living. And the result of this we can watch over here. These people don't know what will happen with them tomorrow, they don't even know how they will live. But look at them how they are sleeping as like they are in heaven...That is the reality of our country and I think we all guys should come forward and do something for them.

Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941) was the youngest son of Debendranath Tagore, a leader of the Brahmo Samaj, which was a new religious sect in nineteenth-century Bengal and which attempted a revival of the ultimate monistic basis of Hinduism as laid down in the Upanishads. He was educated at home; and although at seventeen he was sent to England for formal schooling, he did not finish his studies there. In his mature years, in addition to his many-sided literary activities, he managed the family estates, a project which brought him into close touch with common humanity and increased his interest in social reforms. He also started an experimental school at Shantiniketan where he tried his Upanishadic ideals of education. From time to time he participated in the Indian nationalist movement, though in his own non-sentimental and visionary way; and Gandhi, the political father of modern India, was his devoted friend. Tagore was knighted by the ruling British Government in 1915, but within a few years he resigned the honour as a protest against British policies in India.
Tagore had early success as a writer in his native Bengal. With his translations of some of his poems he became rapidly known in the West. In fact his fame attained a luminous height, taking him across continents on lecture tours and tours of friendship. For the world he became the voice of India's spiritual heritage; and for India, especially for Bengal, he became a great living institution.
Although Tagore wrote successfully in all literary genres, he was first of all a poet. Among his fifty and odd volumes of poetry are Manasi (1890) [The Ideal One], Sonar Tari (1894) [The Golden Boat], Gitanjali (1910) [Song Offerings], Gitimalya (1914) [Wreath of Songs], and Balaka (1916) [The Flight of Cranes]. The English renderings of his poetry, which include The Gardener (1913), Fruit-Gathering (1916), and The Fugitive (1921), do not generally correspond to particular volumes in the original Bengali; and in spite of its title, Gitanjali: Song Offerings (1912), the most acclaimed of them, contains poems from other works besides its namesake. Tagore's major plays are Raja (1910) [The King of the Dark Chamber], Dakghar (1912) [The Post Office], Achalayatan (1912) [The Immovable], Muktadhara (1922) [The Waterfall], and Raktakaravi (1926) [Red Oleanders]. He is the author of several volumes of short stories and a number of novels, among them Gora (1910), Ghare-Baire (1916) [The Home and the World], and Yogayog (1929) [Crosscurrents]. Besides these, he wrote musical dramas, dance dramas, essays of all types, travel diaries, and two autobiographies, one in his middle years and the other shortly before his death in 1941. Tagore also left numerous drawings and paintings, and songs for which he wrote the music himself.

How much we know about our pride "kobiguru Rabindranath Tagore"??? Although he was one of greatest Bengali ever, but look on the other side how much he mean for the chinese people....

Bangladesh is a country if you go out then you won’t believe that it is a developing country. The reason behind this is the number of our vehicle. There are a large number of vehicles available in our streets. But the interesting thing is that most of these vehicles are antique piece. In Japan as we now that the vehicle that is more than three (3) years of old is banded by the government, because these vehicles use a lot of oil than the new one. Also these vehicles are polluting the air. In Bangladesh there are a rule exists like this, but there is no person to follow the rule. Moreover there is no one to see that the rule is maintained or not. As a result our valuable oil is wasting and environment is getting polluted. Moreover in the given picture we can see that how people are suffering from this. When will we learn such things that we should avoid.

“My Bengal of gold. I love you” that’s the first line of our national anthem. Is our Bengal gold??? Can I ask this question??? I think so, our country was the Bengal of gold, but now many problem and we the people of Bangladesh has changed it. What are we keeping for our future generation??? Corruption, bad environmental situation, system loss and other bad things which have a big list. We shoul make our country gold as we say in our national anthem and that will happen when all the people of Bangladesh will not thing about only themselves. All the people of Bangladesh have to think about our country.

In the given picture as you can see it is not a coaching center, it is high school. Shocked??? But that’s the reality. It is only one picture. In Bangladesh there are many high schools like this, where many students are studying. Just think one thing in the rainy season what will they do??? This question has no valid answer and if has who will give the answer. So we should come forward for giving the answer and doing something for this bright and helpless student.

Bangladesh is a country where people face many kind of problem everyday. Natural disaster is one of the most familiar problems for the people of Bangladesh. As we know that our environment is getting polluted day by day and we are using underwater for our daily use. For this the sphere of underwater is getting lower day by day. On the other hand we are drawing our many mineral assets. And these are the reason for breaking our land……as we can see on the picture.

As we can see in the given picture it is nothing, but it is a known street of all. This picture is the flash back of time of our election. Nominees of the election advertise their nomination through posters, but they don't know one fact that they are doing something that is undesirable from them. I mean to say look at this picture....What can you see??? I think it is not looking as beautiful as flower...am I right??? So, please avoid doing such things that can hamper ones as well as a country’s image…..

What are we eating??? What are we eating??? What are we eating??? A common question for all of the Bangladeshi people that have no well answer to us. When we eat something we thing that is it pure or not??? Is it good for our health or not??? etc. actually we have nothing to do and it’s natural thing, because adulteration rate in food is getting higher day by day. People are mixing bad chemical and other poisonous thing for their own profit, but they are unconscious about that these may cause harm to people’s health. And the question remains unanswered. We need the answer……

Bangladesh is a country where many king of people live. About 83 percent of Bangladeshis are profess Islam as their religion. The next major religion is Hinduism (16 percent). Other major religions include Buddhism and Christianity. So from this we can say that Bangladeshi people live with proper love and affection to one another. There are many kind of professional people live in this country. They use to work many thing for their live. Weaver loom is a traditional art form as well as business form of of Bangladesh. But I am Feeling very sorry to say that now a days this traditional art form is getting vanished from our country, because the price of linen is getting higher. As a result the opportunity cost of production is also getting higher and the owner of weave loom workshop stopped production. Only government can sort out this problem by taking some possible steps. So government wake up and save our valuable art form......

In the given picture we can see that a dog is eating tomato. From this picture we may think that the dog is eating these tomatoes because it is wastage and people thrown it out. But for your kind information I want to say you that these tomatoes are not wastage at all. The whole seller of these tomatoes keep this out carelessly and the dog is taking the benefit of this carelessness. Thus we losing our eating food tomato and we know that we have a shortage of that. So we should be careful about these things and we can save this such wastage.
