Drone with a human face
For a change, drone brings pizza and not bombs’ This epoch-making good news based on PRI's report from Mumbai was published by a local English daily recently. A very useful role for the 'drone' has been initiated in India! Drones may, in future, take up the role of postmen and similar such door to door delivery services.

Our cricket must improve its fielding
If a batsman gets out, none rebukes him; if a bowler fails to take wickets, none blames him much. But a fielder who drops a catch is never pardoned. He is criticised by fans and commentators who continue to give reference to that missed catch. In case his team is defeated, the blame goes to the man who has missed the catch.
The remedy of this is to practice and practice. Fielding is a big part of cricket. Good fielding can lead a team to win a match. Bangladesh cricket team should seriously practice all types of fielding, which will help them progress in cricket.

Getting GPA 5 shouldn't be an end in itself
This year the pass rate of SSG exam is about 93 percent which is 3 percent higher than the previous year. All are happy with the result particularly the education minister and PM.
Today in our country the goal of education is not earning knowledge but scoring GPA 5. Many of us know that teachers nowadays are being instructed to give excessive marks. And the recent phenomenon of question paper leakage has made the situation worse. Students know how to get question papers before the exam! So why should they study hard? I sometimes get very much depressed by the overall situation. God knows what is waiting for us in the future.

Comments on news report, "Kit itself unfit," published on June 17, 2014

I don't think this kit can't measure formalin. Rather it may be a ploy plotted by these fruit traders. They are trying to prove that there is no formalin in fruits and it's just the fault of the machine. If there is no formalin in the foods, then why they run away whenever the drive starts? They are trying to prove themselves innocent. But this won't work, I guess. The customers are more cautious now!

This is what happens when standards get lowered, since entry into the establishment (civil service) does not take place on the basis of merit but through fake exams/tests and party affiliation. Over time, such people have now become a majority. Don't be surprised, this will unfortunately continue! The nation has been infested with "yes men", who even render decent and competent people (civil servants) ineffective.

"Biharis point fingers at Elias" (June 16, 2014)
Bakhtiar Hussein
It is clear to people that the sinister Mollah gang want to grab the lands of these poor people. It is an example of Awami hooliganism.
Akhtar Shah
Mr. Mollah has to "look after" his voters for any future election. Therefore he sees no harm in offering "free" illegal electricity to them, temporal or otherwise! Do remember readers Mr Mollah is a ruling party lawmaker and therefore he's perfectly entitled to make his own laws vis-a-vis supply of power to any one he chooses! I doubt if he knows the extent of the subsidy the public purse has to cough up to import fuel for power generation!

There are several videos on the internet where the arsonists have been filmed. Why do not the police arrest those whose faces are clearly identifiable? Nine people in Mirpur were burned alive and one was killed by the police fire when the Biharis were defending their properties and lives. I am assuming our illegal MPs and partisan police are not realising how a spark can quickly engulf the whole country including their empires.
