INDIA ACCEPTS OFFER ON SAARC
India has quietly dropped its long standing opposition to a regional 
development fund being set up under the South Asian Association for 
Regional Cooperation (Saarc). The decision stems from Japanese 
pressure, which intends to make a substantial initial contribution. New 
Delhi, long seen as the reluctant partner in Saarc, has until now insisted 
that aid should be distributed on a bilateral basis. The Japanese-won 
concessions will probably lead to the development fund being 
discussed at December's Saarc summit, scheduled to be held in 
Bangladesh.

Dear netters :

Last week a friend and I went to a Chinese restaurant to take lunch. We were a
bit late for the special offer which was $3.75 per person for a full course,
including soup and a piece of cake for deserts. The offer was from noon till
3:00 p.m. We arrived at 3:20. So we had to settle for a meal which
was $4.95, excluding soup or cake. But the most striking thing of the whole 
event was we were 'supposedly' having dinner. That was dinner time. After we
got in a few couple came in to have their dinner . Back in Bangladesh One
of the thing that puzzled me about western series were that `Ma's were calling
their children for dinner while it was still perfectly bright outside. I thought
maybe the error was because they did their shooting in the daytime.  

But the idea of having your lunch at 12:00 and dinner at 4:30 seems to puzzle
me(of course their are better things to keep yourselfs busy with) and then
go to sleep at 12:30 a.m. I still eat my lunch at 2:30 and dinner at 10:30
but it seems quite lonely because most of the townpeople are done with those
nearly 4 hours ahead of me. But to me , how can one have dinner if the sun is
still up , if the sky is still bright. Dinner requires the serenity , privacy
and quietude of the night. Dinner is something to cherish after the whole
day has faded away into horizon.   

And you know why we went for Chinese ? My suggestion was to go for a burger
or a bigmac at one of the many fancy places here. But he( my friend) was
totally against it. His reasoning was, he was fed up with burgers and macs.
He has been here almost 5 years. So I agreed to go to the only other place
available in town, one of the chinese restaurants. I ate chinese with the
same contempt for this food, which he had shown for the burgers. The only
consolation ,we did not have to pay too much tip, as the waitress was from
the subcontinent. I just do not like to recall how many chinese I had
before coming here a year ago. Chinese was the universally affordable 
so called exotic food or delicatessen from Dhaka to Chittagong and Sylhet to
....(some other cities). But once we group of seven(friends) in dhaka dared
of to take our semesterly treat in the suburbs of the diplomatic enclave
in Banani Grill House. Price was high, it was to be our last treat, but above
all it was worth it.

It is 4:30 p.m. Time for dinner ( I just had my lunch an hour and half ago) for
most of you guys.

I do not really know how to start this article. I read Leb-net about once a week (I hope I had the time to follow it
daily) and sometimes I find something interesting. I logged on now and found three articles by Mr. Irfan Alan. In one, 
he presents the call of the Quran to the "People of the Book", OK, and in the second he cites likenesses between Christian
things and pagan rituals. I wish that Mr Alan would let us know what is his objective here. Are you on a crusade (sorry, 
wrong word!!!!!!) to save our souls and convert Leb-netters ? Or is it fun to post such articles on a network where the 
readers have suffered war in their country, in part 
due to such misconceptions between religious groups?

When is everybody gonna realize that other people really enjoy their way of life and sincerely and wholeheartedly 
worship in their own way, according to traditions set by their fathers and grand-fathers and historic and religious
leaders they revere? Go watch a movie instead of digging quotes from a book that teaches religious hatred or superiority.
For the last seven years now, I've been learning about religions. You name it, Mr Alan. Hinduism, Islam, Christianity, 
Mithraism, and quite a few you haven't even heard of, I'm sure. And let me tell you something. You can enjoy learning
about other religions, from writers who care for knowledge and science and worl-harmony, not from people who want to
convert all the 5-billion some.

And it's more interesting to start learning about how religion can affect history, social life, and the wonderful 
religions that gave body to Christianity, Islam and Judaism. You may find this startling, but no religion, however
divine it is assumed to be, came from scratch. It is a continuous process. Each religion that came to the world, took 
some things from all the religions of all the people with whom it came in contact. It suffices to remind you that 
the arab peninsula was, thru trade, in contact with the Sasssanides in Iran, India, the Graeco-Roman civilization, 
Zoroastrians, Jews, Christians, Nasara (Nasara are not Christians proper; there is a very subtle difference that the
muslim historians missed), etc, etc... I am sure you can do the digging yourself.


Sincerely,
Khalil.

Biman does not have its own office in the USA but it
has an authorized representative who runs the de-facto
Biman office in New York city. The guy is a certain
Mr. Spellman and he has purchased the sole rights to
represent Biman.

You will have to fly by some other airline to Europe and
take a Biman flight from there. The ground service of 
Biman is pitiful (delays, mishandled luggage, etc.) but
once you are on board you are treated like royalty.

The number to call is (212) 683-1849.

If you call this number you may ask for Mr. Selim who has
proved to be helpful in the past. The level of courtesy 
is somewhere between moderate and decent. 

Good luck!

Last night from a phone call to Dhaka I gathered that the Khaleda Zia 
government is getting serious about restoring "normalcy" (whatever that
word means) in the campuses. Police raided hideouts of Islamic Chhatro
Shibir at the Islamic University and siezed a quantity of weapons and
ammunition. Meanwhile after some killings on Dhaka University campus
Mrs. Zia dissolved the student wing of her party. One real gruesome
incident was that a student leader was killed and his body was left in
a water tank which was later recovered by the police. 

Some of the militant Rohingyas in the refugee camps would like to use 
their camps as bases for attacks against the Myanmar army across the
border. Unless a proper settlement is reached between Bangladesh, Myanmar
with UN mediation and the refugees are returned to their homes with 
dignity and honor (as had been promised by the Myanmar government many
times earlier this summer) there is potential for a protracted crisis
over the issue of Mynamar refugees.

I must be overly dense today. Just what is the thought that we are supposed
to count? I would have expected that you pay a larger tip than normal just
because she is from the sub-continent. At the very least, be fair, and pay
what's just. 

Maybe she wasn't losing much, but isn't the operative word here "loosing"?
