Vikram Khan The prime minister showers our cricket team with cars and money for playing games. But what the rescuers did was not a game. They are the heroes who risked their lives to save hundreds of people. They are the ones who deserve free land, cars and money. Anon Our country is now in a shameful condition with recent factory fire, building collapse, and hartals but there are still honest people with good intentions and these people give me hope. Jelal Hossain Most of our people are like this. We just need to understand their pulse and guide them accordingly. Niloufar Naseem Sarker   These great souls are not like most of us. They needed no guidance when thousands stood at the disaster site to watch the tragic drama. These heroes jumped to help risking their lives and one rescuer named Kaikobad sacrificed his life. They are truly great and I will not demean them by comparing them with us who just stood there to watch. With all the insensitivity, greed and corruption surrounding us, they give us a sense that all is not lost yet. They are the rare gems of the human species.
