Last day I had a business meeting in Dhaka, so I had to leave office at half past twelve for Farmgate. While I reached New Airport (Northern entry point of Dhaka) with in 40 minutes, it took almost 100 minutes to reach Farmgate, which I believe 20 KM far at best. This reminds me what a country we are living in! First I was very annoyed with the jam in front of Prime minister’s office, and then I realized that there is nothing we or Govt can do. They are too many cars and buses (every bus is double loaded) for the roads to handle. I feel sorry for those who live in Uttara and attend office in Motijheel.

Since I work outside of the capital, I was quite unfamiliar with this jam. Gazipur, where I work, is even more polluted place than Dhaka, but roads are almost free. And in the morning and late evening, when the pollution is less, we actually get to see nice countryside and enjoy very pleasant breeze through bus window. So I guess, there are many many disadvantages of working outside Dhaka, but at least its better than working at Motijheel from Uttara.
