I like dacca

I’ve been following the op-ed pages of a few papers for the last few weeks, and all I’ve seen is people complaining about the endless traffic, the sea-like water-logging, the monstrous mosquitoes and, generally, every negative aspect of life in the city. And yes, since I have eyes, I agree that these problems do exist in Dhaka.

But being a “glass is half full” type of person, I have decided to point out all the positives in our metropolis. Having said that, I must admit, or rather, confess, that this article is going to be biased — and very much so. This is due to the fact that Dhaka is my hometown, and by default, my favourite city.

I have two major objectives: First, to remind the residents of Dhaka how beautiful the city really is. And second, to inform non-residents of the good things about our hometown. Let us then, take a ride through Dhaka.
