My pleasure! It was somewhat unintentional on my part because I did question the morality of placing the emblems of have-nots and Dhaka's edifice to consumerism in one place. It would be wonderful if we as human beings were capable of gestures that would defy the norm (i.e. "ignorance and wastefulness")but unfortunately we are not. We are the product of capitalism and we live in a society where the poor are caught in a perpetual cycle of miseducation and poverty while the rich are able to exploit these very people then simply recycle them. Nevertheless, I think Bangladesh has made substantial strides in the past 20 years in flood management and post flood rehabilitation. I just hope that the current and future governments are able to give this as much importance as their children’s' foreign education expenses and extravagant marriages.
