For a blue sky…

Reading the letter titled “Where has the blue sky gone?” by Nur Jahan published last week, I became nostalgic. From then on, I am enmeshed with the song “Neel Akasher Nichey Ami Rasta Cholechhi Eka”. Peace and tranquility has deserted from Bangladesh. The other day, all national dailies published a report of siphoning of Tk.20, 000/= crores from capital market by vested quarters. Now under these circumstances, what else can one expect to see in the mirror? The mirror can not deceive anybody. In order to see the clear blue sky one has to travel to the North America. In my first ever visit to Houston, I was astonished to see the clear blue sky and for a moment traveled back in time to the sixties of Dhaka that looked like all the goodness leaving forever from life.
