In the category of "New Building which actually looks old". Sarkari Maal Darya mei dhaal...great concept but piss poor execution...Roads and Highways Dept. New HQ.

This is what happens when you award contracts to the lowest bidder. Can't even do the paved areas properly. Disgusting.

If this is the venue of their graft generation, the least they could do is build it nicely. Sotolog Itar Idiots.

People did not see the criticality of this Bangladesh decision, it joined RCEP. IMHO this is the most important Bangladeshi decision since it spawned SAARC (by General Zia) which could not be successful because of Indian Govt. intransigence.


has it actually joined, or various thinktanks, goverment ministers thinking of joining it?

I wish they do. we need to get out of this mindset of always plucking the lowest hanging fruit (LDC status concessions, rmg, low labor cost etc), and try out some economic creative destruction for a change. Force companies to innovate and be competitive in a global market.

Bangladesh has not formally joined AFAIK, but yes, there is significant debate for and against joining it. We will cover it in depth, going forward.

Local EV manufacturer, it's not impressive but it is accessible to local poor people at least which they can use to start their transport business.

And Now, for the Coup-de-grâce today in this section - I present Jolshiri Abashon (Water Ripples Housing), the latest Defence Officers' Housing Society sponsored CBD and Residential areas. This looks even more impressive than Purbachal Legacy Tower complex which is barely a few miles from here. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legacy_Tower_(Purbachal,_Dhaka).

Almost looks like Wakanda. :lol:

Sisimpur

Sisimpur Collection of Bangladesh was nominated for Kidscreen Awards

The award is based primarily on various events in various categories, including the best series for children and families around the world, animated films, and live action programs.

The country's popular children's show "Sisimpur" has been nominated for the internationally acclaimed "Kidscreen Awards". "Sisimpur" has been nominated in the "Best Mixed Media Series" category along with two other children's series.

The 13th season episode of Sisimpur focuses on children's learning through play, collaborating with others and the joy that comes from collaborating. Which is essential for the development of the baby. In addition to the game, cooperation, sympathy, science, nature, language, mathematics, etc. have prevailed in each episode of the season.

Incidentally, in a survey conducted by BBC World Service Trust in 2010, Sisimpur was selected as the best and overall third most popular program as a children's program. A long-term study by ACPR conducted in 2006 found that children who regularly attended the Sisimpur program were one year older than those who did not visit Sisimpur, who were more proficient in language and caste, mathematics and socio-cultural subjects.

The Kidscreen Awards are primarily awards for various programs in various categories, including the best series for children and families around the world, animated films, and live action programs.

Mohammad Shah Alam, Executive Director, Sisimpur, said: Our Sisimpur has got a place in the top three by competing with the best children's program in the world. ”

It is learned that the names of the winners of 2022 will be announced through a glittering ceremony in February.

They have built a community house, the central mosque and adjoining Park situation. There are multiple walkways/trailways/jogging-trails which line the edges of numerous waterways in the area and they are finishing those too along with Landscaping plan. Huge project - will take a while to finish. CBD work has not started yet, we will see the piling work for that soon hopefully.
