My cousin and her family had their travel arrangements made through this
travel agency. To put it mildly Mr. Nazmul Huda botched up everything very
badly. The told my cousin that all the bookings (NY-Paris-Dhaka and back)
were fully comfirmed with Biman and American Airlines but were delaying the
issuance of the tickets. On the day of their flight Mr. Huda told them that 
"Biman had fouled up their bookings" and that the date of their Paris-Dhaka
leg of the journey was one week before the date of their NY-Paris flight or
some such sad story! My cousin had to put a lot of pressure on Worldwide to
make alternate arrangements using Gulf and some other airlines and were
finally able to fly two days later. They also had to pay quite a bit more
for the tickets and were forced to return on a weekday instead of a weekend.

If I were you I would avoid this travel agency. No matter who you choose
to buy your tickets from please call the airline directly and verify the
truthfullness of the travel agents statements.

Clarification:

The article entitled "He shouldn't have done it" is not written by me for
two reasons:

1)   I would never express my support for Mohammedan from the Abahani
     Gallery because:

	a)  I am smart!!!
	b)  I don't want to die so soon.
	c)  I HATE Mohammedan.

2)   The article is written in 17th century english.  Amar pet-e bombing
     korleo erokom english ber hobe na.

So, the question is: who wrote the article?

Here are the possible answers:
	[choose the best one]

	a)  William Shakespeare
	b)  Tagore (translated by Budhdhadev Bose (sp?))
	c)  Paula Abdul
	d)  Mr.  Zuanid  Kazi.

  This operation is mainly targeting the Bangali Para in New Delhi in the 
  first phase. Police raids at night, round up the people there and 
  transport them immediatly to the border for push back purpose. I believe they
  are by default taken as illegals. In one incident one lady while visiting
  there from Maharasta to meet her husband was picked up along with her son. 
  She is holder of an Indian Passport issued from Bombay office. But both
  were transported to border and pushed inside Bangladesh.

 One more:
  Many Indians also migrated to many South Asian countries and Africa. There
  descendents are still living there for long. Do you think it is fair to
  say that these people have no rights in those respective lands and they 
  should be deported as Uganda did?

   I am a little confused here.  Does this mean one can't use MCI anymore to
   call Bangladesh?  Is that true for all the states in US?
   If that is the case, I'm in big trouble.  I called home about 15 days ago
   with my MCI calling card and anyhow I need to call home again in the 22nd.
   Since I don't have the option of choosing AT&T or anyother long distance
   career for my dorm phone, that MCI card is my one and only gateway to
   Bangladesh. It gets me really worried.

   Is there anybody out there reading this article, who is an MCI custromer?
   Did anybody call home in the last couple of days using MCI?  Can anybody
   offer me a specific feedback about what's going on with MCI?


You can use MCI from a dorm phone, hotel phone or home phone. The
calling card does not work from Pay phones only.

	    DHAKA, Bangladesh -- News reports Saturday said Indian forces
are continuing to build up along Bangladesh's southwestern border with
India, as tension mounts between the two countries over alleged illegal
immigrants.
       Bangladesh border authorities have warned that they may take
military
action if the Indian build-up continues, officials said.
       According to the Bengali daily Inquilab, the Indian Border Security
Force is building two lines of bunkers 50 yards away from the border,
near the Benapole crossing point in the district of Jessore.
        The paper said the bunkers are manned by teams of up to seven BSF
troops, and that weapons inside the bunkers include three-inch mortars
and heavy machine guns.
        The build-up came after the Bangladesh Rifles, Dhaka's only border
security unit, drove back nearly 400 Bengali-speaking people across the
border Friday night.
        India claims they are illegal immigrants. Bangladesh denies the
claim, saying they are Indian citizens.

I don't understand this question. Both Jasimuddin and Nazrul belong
to the same  religion. The ties of religion apply equally to both
of them. If we want to compare the two, the " ties of religion" 
do not come into action. If Nazrul is popular only because he is
a Muslim, why not Jasimuddin? He is also a Muslim. So Nazrul is
popular, not only because he is a Muslim. There must be something
else about Nazrul.

	I think Mukherjee should give his reasons before calling
Bangladesh "a liability" on the proposed EC.

	The two Germanies have united. The two Koreas are also pondering
over the question of a possible political reunion. Do you think the "asset
/ liability" dilemma is bothering them more than their common history of
being one nation in the recent past? 

	Can't we talk of an EEC type arrangement then, leave alone
political re-union ?

Well, of course you are a Bangladeshi and I am a Bharatiya.
(Incidentally, I too am from Calcutta)

I think what is of no less importance in this respect is that I am a
Bharatiya Bangali and you a Bangladeshi Bangali. Can't we think like
this?

Thus I am equally at home if someone calls me an Bangali or a Bharatiya.

Moreover,

Soliciting any joke that can be twisted into regional joke regarding
Jessore or Noakhali. Bad or good [good jokes preferred]. Example of bad 
joke: Sylheti and Noakhaillya were walking along the road. Sylheti went
"Oh, look a dead bird".

Organization: BNR
Date: Thu, 08 Oct 1992 18:25:17 GMT

Following the thread of couple of postings on garment export figure: I am 
quoting the following from recent issue of PROBASHI:

  * Bangladesh expects to earn $1.5 billion (1500 million) this year from
    garment export. This figure may go as high as $2.5 billion by 1993-94
    and $10 billion in next 10 years.  --- Abdul Mannan, state minister for
    textile, stated while inaugurating a 2 day exhibition. 


    Does not this sound real encouraging, after considering that we used to
    export only couple of crores (Taka) worth of garment even about 15 years
    back. I believe Bangladesh has potential for exporting more at this 
    moment. But quota limitation puts a cap on the max. amount that one
    country can export to any particular country (decided by the mutual
    agreements between two goverments).

                   MY COUNTRY

what with the population boom
the prophecies of doom
my campus is a battleground
my hallroom is a tomb

what with the hole in the layer
pollution in the air
water level rising fast
no one seems to care

what with the furor over veils
and sacriligeous tales
i'll live with what i believe
why do you fuss and wail

what with the hartals and the strikes
everytime that you dislike
a political decision
go break some cars and bikes


         but there's the scenerey
         and there's the greenery
         and the birds and trees and breeze
         they keep on calling me
                   
                     back to my country   --  wrong or right


what with the rickshaws on the streets
no room to keep your feet
add a robbery in broad daylight
and the picture is complete

what with the promises of change
governments are rearranged
bbut the rich and poor,
like before,
they always still remain

         but the smiles that i'm greeted with

Is there an intentional _double entendre_ here? It seems so, since 
you have put this comment under the heading "Good/Bad(?)".

Hmmm.. Mr. Zunaid writes less boring artcile.

The bright side: Mr. Zunaid writes less boring articles than others.
That's the interpreation I would favour. :-)

But, then again: Mr. Zunaid writes less boring articles than before.
Does this mean I used to write boring articles before?

I am being gored by the horns of a dilemma. Which one is it? :)
