Welcome Message

Welcome & heartiest thanks for visiting this blog...
Exploring the opportunity to collaborate, discuss, or share my thoughts & ideas with others mostly about Bangladesh, its social, cultural and political issues; world affairs; finance, technology, entertainment, social & professinal networking, humanity, and local community. I think exercise of democracy through freedom of speech, exchanging views and ideas among diversified population is one of many ways to serve the people and ignite others to do the same...Just imagine, a tree can start a forest, a raindrop can begin a sea, a leader can change a nation and obviously together we can change the life ...
