The gentleman is my childhood buddy. After the college, he went to East Europe for higher studies, then to Canada; got married to a Central American lady and he is now settled in New Zealand. In the past, whenever he visited Dhaka, he used to carry a large suitcase full of mineral water and another suitcase with liquid milk for his accompanying kids. He didn’t believe, Bangladesh could produce anything good or more importantly fit for his kids. At times, I get in touch with him over social network and he has not changed his negative opinion about Bangladesh till date- on issues such as ever-widening differences between the government and the opposition, possible climate change impact on Bangladesh, Dhaka being one of the most unlivable city, air pollution, sound pollution and what not. I can tell you- he is never going to come back, rather he would tell all of us- ‘it is high time to leave Bangladesh’.
