Receptions that cause people to suffer
We appreciate the decision taken by the government that schoolchildren can not be lined up on the streets to welcome ministers or any public representatives. It's so shameful that schoolchildren were forced to stand in line under the scorching sun without any food. We always give importance to one person while ignoring others' basic rights. We give reception to MPs blocking roads when patients waiting in the ambulances fight with death. Students are late at school, employees are late at office because roads are blocked to receive MPs or ministers. The government should make laws against this type of public nuisance.

Wonder photograph of Dhaka
Your 'City' page photograph of the two rickshaws traveling on sand really surprised me initially. My immediate reaction to it was that these were traveling somewhere in Sind or Baluchistan in Pakistan! Only after going through the description below the photograph, I found that the two rickshaws were plying on Mitford Road, right in the middle of the capital city of Bangladesh! It was unbelievable! Surely, this photograph can be considered one of the seven wonder photographs of Dhaka! If your readers or photographers can provide six more such unique photos, you can, on a weekend, publish the 'Seven Wonder Photographs of Dhaka'!

Isolating cricket underdogs’
It is clear that India, Australia and England are the big brothers of cricket. They are trying to improve cricket. But what kind of improvement is it? Do they want to isolate other countries? India is one step ahead. India itself is going to make another ICC. There is no doubt that none but India will be isolated.

You cannot play cricket on emotion. Hard work and talent is necessary to make the grade. We should not aspire to be a cricketing nation if we do not have the ability and talent for it. There is no need to disgrace ourselves further. We should now withdraw before we are thrown out!

What a hasty decision it was from BCB! I hope BCB will translate our wish at the ICC meeting in Dubai. When majority will unite and take the firm step to stop such Cricketing Apartheid, then ICC and the game-destroying trio boards will wilt and 'surrender'.
We must raise standards for sure to stay competitive. ICC was stupid to announce such unrealistic decision to kill the game of near billion.

Burn the effigy of Srinivasan, the BCCI chief. Heis the crooked person; nothing to do with the state of India. BCCI is an independent body unrelated to the Indian government. Srinivasan is the mastermind behind this mess. Hence blame him not India. I hope the draft will end up in the trash.

The AL government does not want to solve this case, instead they will go after BNP or any rival group in order to eliminate them from the political arena. We are really sorry to see the frustration among the family members of late Kibria. If this is the case of Kibria, then imagine what happens to those who are less powerful. We sympathise with the family members of Kibria.

As a matter of fact, in the deep recesses of our mind feudal attitudes reign supreme till today. Democracy, liberalism etc are just imported ideas in the growth and development of which we do not have any participation or contribution. Had it been home grown ideas, this sort of stupid practices would have a natural death much earlier.
