Earthquake

Sikander Ahmed, Niketon, Gulshan-1, Dhaka
I did not feel the earthquake at all! I live in Niketon and work in Banani. So every day, I have to traverse, by rickshaw along one of the three 'roads' that exit from Gulshan-1 to Mohakhali Road. On Sunday evening, I was coming home by rickshaw through the link road next to Zara Mall at the time of the earthquake. Due to incessant rain, this “Paddy Field” masquerading as a 'road', was in a condition that beggars description. Twice a day I go through an experience that probably measures 8.9 on the Richter scale. So the earthquake of Sunday could make any impact on me. By the by, if the PM is looking for evidence of her ministers' corruptibility and incompetence, she can take a ride on a rickshaw on any one of the many such 'roads' like the three I have mentioned.
