JUST A THOUGHT

I was making my way to an important meeting at work from Gulshan to Kawran Bazaar. Usually it takes me about an hour to get to work but today I was stuck in front of the PM's office for over an hour because she had decided she was going somewhere and the roads needed to be cleared for her. Needless to say, I missed my important meeting and my boss almost fired me. This, of course, happens quite a lot in our city and every time, it gets me thinking what if there is an emergency and someone who needs to get to a hospital or the airport etc get stuck because our Prime Minister thinks she can't rub shoulders with us commoners by sharing the road with us. She is quite fine with subjecting us to ridiculous traffic but God forbid she has to experience the same thing herself!

EXTREME CRUELTY

I was driving past the pet shops in Kataban when I noticed a tiny puppy locked in a small cage, barely big enough for him to stand, placed on the divider across one of the pet shops. The puppy was scared and crying everytime a big car passed by. The day was hot and the sun was glaring directly on the poor thing. On top of that, there was no food or water in the cage. I know these pet shops are the worst but I never thought things were this bad. This is extreme animal cruelty and I think these places should be shut down immediately. I am truly disgusted by what I saw.
