To the Editor
Denis Compton
Sir. I saw Denis Compton batting at the Eden Gardens Calcutta in the late-’30s and early-'40s. He was as entertaining as Mustaque Ali; sparkling with the bat — and the crowd.
Later. Denis returned to Calcutta with an English International football team to play some exhibition matches in the region. I recall his gem of a goal, on the half-volley, from the corner of the field (he was playing left out).
A great sportsman — who etched himself into the spectator's memory with his charismatic performances — and the darling of the crowd. Great Denis — Sir! .
The 'Sir' after the name is an ironical reference/reminder that Denis was denied the Knighthood. Most unsporting!
But not surprising, as Australia only just, for the first time, had a cricketer — Bradman — on the postage stamp.
When we praise our sons and daughters, we develop dysentric vocabulary in this overflooded land of bile humour.

Condolence for an unknown warrior
Sir, I would like to express my deep sorrow on the sad demise of Mr Enamul Huq of Mollahat. Bagerhat. who died in his village home on April 17 last after suffering from liver cirrhosis for a long time. Mr Enamul Huq. who was 71 years »f age. was popularly known as Khoka' amongst his friends and colleagues and 'Nana among the University students; and was thin, dark with an overgrowth of white hair flow-
ing down to the neck. He was once an employee of Karachi Development Authority but later went into business but with little success and in the process made many friends, many of them in high positions. because of his frank and amiable behaviour. Above all, he was helpful to all he met self-
I knew Khoka for a long time and perhaps influenced his thought for championing the cause of science and technology for the development of Bangladesh.
During the last few years. Khoka fought relentlessly for the development of Khulna Dl-vision and wanted the resources generated in the Division to be ploughed back. He pioneered the movement for the construction of 'Rupsa Bridge' and placed a list of development plans for Khulna for consideration of the authorities. These included the construction of a refinery near Khulna, improvement of port facilities of Chalna and a dual-purpose nuclear power station for desalination and electric power.
The people of Khulna owe him a lot for his continuous struggle to improve their lot by way of organizing meetings, poster campaign, lobbying, influencing political leaders and even a hunger-strike. If the people of Khulna and relevant authorities would accelerate their efforts for a more prosperous Khulna Division, his soul will rest in peace. On behalf of those who knew him, I wish to record my heartfelt condolences to members of his bereaved family.
