At last Rory won the Masters Championship golf. I always thought he would but he lost few years not doing great. He honored his own skill and talent at last. Congratulations to him!

Bangladesh: Interim govt ICT adviser Nahid Islam resigned, literally walked out of Chief Adviser office, then published his bank account details. Such transparency is such needed in Bangladesh. Hope we see some more like this.

Bangladesh: new party struggling to announce its name ... We do need a youthful, courageous and clean party to give the traditional, corrupt parties run for their money... I felt sad to see this failure. Hope they come out stronger.

American main stream media like MSNBC firing or cancelling shows of mostly non-white hosts is a symptom, root cause seems to be zi_*_st or ra*_*st mindset. Would be happy if I were wrong.

Purging govt employees to save money, cutting fund from essential programs like medicaid, medicare etc, setting tariff up to generate more govt revenue ... Then passing a bill to give tax cut to billionaires... I find it really fishy ... Almost like siphoning off money to me ...

Bangladesh passport value notched up by 4 places, I see our media hyped up on this.... But was ashamed after seeing the name just on top of Bangladesh... North Korea. ☺️😡🥲

Bangladesh: I think it is really good that we could hold on to the Forex Reserve given that we had a slowdown since election, then revolution and till now we are still trying to bring balance between reform, security & economic growth. Still hopeful. Inshallah.

Alhamdulillah, today spent some time at the Riyadh ul Jannah and also paid my Salaam to Rasulullah (SAW) at his Rawdhah. After 5 years, came to Makkah for Umrah & Madinah for few days... All praises to Allah.

Bangladesh: Demolition of the historic building on Road 32 Dhanmondi.... feels like a repeat. We saw another ex-PM thrown out of her family home in cantonment some years ago. History repeats itself, once again.

Bangladesh: I still don't understand how it is possible that government still needs time to support all the July-upsrising victims' families and help support the injured. It has been 6 months... good enough for any verification etc. Also for injured, any delay in treatment could be costly!

Bangladesh Bank governor made a very rational remark... to increase penetration of smartphone, tax should be reduced. Earlier we saw only tax increase. this made services out of reach of the poor, made investment by telcos very difficult...

#Bangladesh : Just saw the news that on 8th Feb, all reform commission reports will be published. It is a very good decision. I hope the unity/unanimity of the overall way forward for the country will be reached soon... I think election in a free, fair and inclusive way should be primary target.

Bangladesh: Students led anti-discrimination movement and eventual ouster of the govt in Aug 24. This gave huge rise in students' sense of power - but recent Titumir students' protest by blocking roads, creating pain for the masses... is a misdirected use of this new-found power.

US President wants Canada to become 51st state, but haven't heard same about Mexico. Both are next door neighbor and biggest trading partners... why the difference? Hmm...

Financial markets went into a panic last week over an obscure Chinese tech start-up called DeepSeek. The company now threatens to upend the world of A.I. and the race for who will dominate it.

Listen to "The Daily."

Good to see Canada is standing up to US bullying . With this tariff war, both countries will be hurt due to recession and job losses, but US will be hurt more I believe. Rest of the word may benefit though ... Or may be not.

Tariff on important from Canada and Mexico will generate more money for govt ... Paid by everybody, so general masses pay up from their small income. And govt can then dish out the fund to the oligarchs under different project .. money flows only to the rich, right?
