Welcome to the forums Tonmoy,I was already confusing you with our other friend.:)

Thanks Mirzazeehan! Sorry for the confusion, hopefully, the '84' will help to distinguish between the two of us! :)

Hello and welcome, Arif. Pictures once in while maybe?

Amazing it may sound, but it's true that I havent got a digital camera yet. I can hope some one will lend me one but its a tall order.

Lets see if I find some more free time (and money:lol:) maybe I shall get that camera to post photos of Dhaka city.

Welcome to the forums :)

Thank You

I am Jim856796. I have made 2,000 posts in the SkyscraperCity forums, though I have never posted in an Introduce Yourself thread before. My posts are mostly questions and opinions about projects around the world. I have made more posts than any other forum I am in.

^^ Welcome Jim, have a look around our BD-subforum. :cheers:

hey, my name is Amit. I am 18 years old and a first year student in Baruch College at NYC. I have been coming to this forum for a while but I never registered. I think this is a great way to promote Bangladesh and its positive aspects to the world. I think it serves a great deal in shaping the image of the nation from a world and most importantly western perspective. I will try to contribute as much as I can and I really appreciate the people who are highlighting the beautiful Bangladesh through their brilliant photographs.

^^ Welcome, feel free to join the discussion, the more people, the better the level of conversation here.

Welcome to the forum, Amit

This is a super achievement by the guys that have introduced bangladesh to these forums and allowed us to have our own forum - great work guys!

It is good that we let the world see that Bangladesh has some great architecture as well and regardless of which district you are from in Bangladesh it is nice to say "amar Shunar Bangla".

I will contribute with some pics of houses in moulvibazar, sylhet once i upload the photos from my phone onto pc.

Welcome :) Looking forward to the photos of Sylhet Division.

Thanks and the house i plan to upload photos of apparently cost the owner 20core.

Welcome and thanks, impactcrew, will look forward to your photos. If have photos / updates on Sylhet as well we would love that as well.

I'd like to introduce myself here as a new member to this forum. I stumbled on it while doing a "Bing" search for Middle Eastern/Mediterranean eateries in Dhaka.

My real name is Shakil Maruf, 38 years old, married and a father of two. I'm a software engineer working for Trane Inc. Before this I had a 4 year stint at Motorola.

I've been living in Minnesota, USA for the last 18 years and before that spent most of my childhood and adolescent years in Kuwait. My connection with Bangladesh, especially rural areas of Feni, Noakhali and Comilla, is especially strong due to numerous trips made as a child and also for the presence of extended family members.

My hobbies include travel, photography, aviation, mobile computing and being bit of a food connoisseur.

Hope to have lots of fun interacting with other Deshi members and also become knowledgeable about the urban scene in Dhaka.

^^ Welcome, samaruf. We look forward to having you as part of the community. As a probashi myself I do not know the answer to your initial question on restaurants, but I'm sure someone here can help you out.

Please know the subforum rules:

Thank you for the warm welcome.

As you mentioned, I love everything related to aviation and mobile applications. I frequent the Airliners.net site everyday and also xda-developers.com that deals with Windows mobile computing. InshaAllah I'll post in the aviation thread once I'm done enjoying the vast array of photographs from Bangladesh.

I can't believe how beautiful of a country we have been blessed with. If only we had good governance for a change, who knows what we could have accomplished in the last 38 years.

true indeed......we have some corrupt and anti-Bangladeshi elements in the country who are chosen by the people!! both these parties r eating away everything and trying to destroy the nation! We need a patriotic non-political leader!

Welcome to the forums!

Assalam Alaikum,

My name is Faisal, 18 and I'm a student living in Nottingham, England, UK. Currently I have just finished my A-Levels and inshallah I'll get my grades for university. The degree I'm interested in studying is International Relations Joint Honours (the other course, I'm not sure on, possibly Global Studies, International Business or Mandarin).

My father is from Chandpur and my mother is from Dhaka although we have other relatives in Bogra, Chittagong and St Martin's Island, which is my favourite destination in Bangladesh.

I have interests in motoracing (especially F1), martial arts (I practise Shotokan currently), boxing, weightlifting, current affairs, travelling and video games.

Assalam Alaikum all,

I came across this forum while googling for solar panel suppliers in the Sylhet region. I'm Systems Engineer, live in London but I try to go back home every couple of years, not as frequent as I'd like to…(but went twice last year not sure how I managed that :) ).

I am from Electronics background but switched to IT after college. Always had keen interest on gadgetries, I like technologies.
Been interested in solar energy for some time but never got the time or money to experiment with….

I would like to import solar energy equipment from China, hope someone can point me in the right direction on how the shipping process works in Chittagong.

Thanks

^^ welcome to the forum, hope u enjoy ur stay here and keep posting :)

Hi all,

Long-time lurker here, thought I'd finally say hi. I am an astrophysics PhD student, and I really enjoy all the discussions on this site, especially anything related to aviation, photography, cricket, and goings-on in Dhaka (where I grew up). Good job and keep it up!

Welcome! Feel free to participate in the forums.

Astronomy, welcome brother :) please do post stuff and enjoy ur stay here!

may I knw where do u live atm?

Thanks very much for the warm welcome!

I grew up in Dhaka (spent most of my time playing cricket and tennis - nothing can quite match the fun of playing tennis-ball cricket in the driveway!), went to college in North Carolina, and now live in Hawaii. I try to visit the old country at least once a year, in fact will be there next month for a couple of weeks.

Best wishes to all.

Like all the other well wishers, welcome to the Bangladesh forum on SSC. What island of Hawaii are you on? Envy you for enjoying the tropical paradise while we freeze our butts in below 40 deg temps in January :cry:

I live on Oahu, but spend a lot of time on the Big Island since that's where most of the telescopes that I use are. Yes Hawaii is bit of a paradise, but I'm often on top of a 14,000 ft volcano (Mauna Kea) where it snows twelve months of the year!

Hello and welcome, Abdur and Astronomy. Where in NC were you, Astronomy? I lived in SC off and on over the years. I also thought about majoring in Physics because of my interest in Cosmology / Astrophysics...but that was at a late stage of my undergraduate education so I just stuck with Biology before moving onto med school. Also - I will be visiting Oahu sometime in the not-too-distant future...in 2011, very likely.

Where did you go for undergraduate, Tan?

hallo guys im Richard from Philippines...

welcome to our forum :)

Where did you go for undergraduate, Tan?

Colby College - a little place in Maine. I needed full financial aid and they gave me the best deal.

Hi Tan,

I lived in Durham during my college days in NC. Where in SC did you live? I visited Charleston a couple of times. Oahu is beautiful, but make sure to check out some of the other islands that are a little less crowded. The Big Island is my favorite.

I drove all around Oahu about 6 years ago and also hiked up Diamond Head. The waves on the North Shore are monstrous and a surfers dream. The lush green scenery and mango trees reminded me of Bangladesh. Are there many Deshi people in HI?

Next time InshaAllah I plan to see the other islands especially Big Island's Mauna Kea observatories. Do they allow public into the facility?

Yes, a lot of Hawaii feels like what Bangladesh (especially the hill tracts) would look like if it were a more developed country. There are some Bangladeshis in Honolulu, most of them associated with U of H.

You can drive all the way to the summit of Mauna Kea (14k feet) if you have a 4x4 and are not afraid of mountain driving! To tour the facilities you'll have to go with a group. Or let me know next time you're on the Big Island and I'll give you a private one (U of H astronomers have access to most of the Mauna Kea telescopes, though not all).

Yeah, I would much rather go to some of the other islands if I can, and perhaps I shall. The reason for going to Oahu is a free ticket that I will get. I am a bit of a waterfall fan and Kuai, Molokai, Maui, and the Big Island are very rich in these, including many of the world's tallest. But I am sure I shall enjoy Honolulu, plus I want to check out Lanikai Beach.

I must be the old f*** here ! Been in the US for about 19 yrs. Bachelor in MIS from Florida Atlanic Uni. Masters in Network Security fro MD. I own businesses and also do IT consulting.
You guys are all so young ! I like the directness of the younger population here on the Blog. We were not like this ! We were taught to be polite and always be composed, in other words don't go around making an a** out of yourself.

I also like the positive energy around this kids. Had the opportunity to meet couple of guys from BD few months ago at a school. I was pleasantly surprised to see the kids fresh from BD, and very different than me and my buddies were about 20yrs ago.

I can't exactly say what it is different, but when I talked to those guys they seemed like more versed, cultured, and rrrrrrready tooo rrrrumble.

I think we finally got a good thing going in BD, and just keep it up !!!!!!!

Welcome to the forum fallstuf. You along with a few of us reaching the 40's are a definite minority here but it's all good. Our younger members, as you noticed, make this forum one of the most vibrant Bangladesh related sites on the net.

Enjoy and contribute.

After I came here , I had little connection with Dhaka other than my family. International calls were very expensive. I actually wrote letters ( no email, no VoIP), but over time the letter writing stopped and eventually lost connections with my friends.
When I went back to Dhaka in 2000, I was kinda joking with a relative, "I left you a nice clean city , what did you do it." There were smoke and construction everywhere. The city looked like a disaster zone ! Gulshan, Banani, Dhanmondi changed completly. Traffic was horrendous.The nice and quiet Gulshan I knew was gone. But at the end, it is home sweet home. It was good to be back. I tried to find some old friends that didn't go abroad. Couldn't find any one. I used to have a friend that lived on RD 15 in Dhanmondi, when I went there, well the house was gone, and in its place is a multi-storied building. My in-law took me to drive to Jamuna Bridge, it was nice. We went over the bridge, and stopped on the other side and walked around for a little time enjoying the afternoon . A little boy was selling some snacks there, I politely refused his snacks but gave him Tk 50, and told him to keep it. Didn't want to get the worst case of diarrhea, after spending the first four days with an infectious soar throat.

The last I went back was in 2003. Spent more time with family. The kids in the family ( cousins, neice and nephews) all grown up, and a few I didn't see before. Bought a bunch of stuff from Arong. I do remember having Kabab at the penthouse restaurant in Banani on Kamal Ataturk. The food was great. After a few days of my arrival we went for a drive to Comilla. The entire drive I saw Brick-fields on both side of the road. The memorable part was watching the Bus drivers playing chicken on the road :nuts:!! At one point our car had to get off the road and on the shoulder because there were three buses next to each other, heading towards us blowing their horns. We had to chicken out :D! Had lunch at a restaurant at a Bus station in Comilla. I still remember the taste of Dal. It was awsome.... . My sister was furious about the trip, and boy she was tripping. She thought I was being too cavalier and could get robbed, I told her "I don't think so, I was born and raised in Dhaka." :D

Pardon my nostalgia !

Its great to see a country that was absolutely devastated by war, almost zero capital and equipment, and $34 ( yes, it was thirty four dollars !) in foreign reserve, now has more than $10 billion in reserve, and still going strong in spite of the global recession.

Thanks for sharing some of your nostalgic moments. I actually have a photo or two in here of buses playing chicken on the Meghna bridge while going to Feni. That's why we definitely need the Dhaka-Chittagong highway expanded to at least 4-lanes if not more.

I'll be going home this Dec 12th and as a special trip will try to visit the Jamuna bridge area as I have not seen it before. One of our members here, Mirza, dutifully posts photos of different structures going up in Dhaka. Can't wait to see all the changes since my last trip in 2007.

Welcome fallstuf, good to have you here. Also, I doubt you are our seniormost citizen :)

Welcome to the forum FallStuf :), hope u enjoy it and please do post time 2 time ;)

Hello everyone!

I am Tunir (I know, it's an odd name) Khan. But I go by Akash.

I am in my mid-thirties and just moved to Minnesota, USA from Zion, IL (a small town), due to a job transfer. I am in the re-insurance field and am a middle manager of sort:-) I have been with the same company for about thirteen years now.......... Still single:-)

Iam trying to find deshi/Indian people here in Minnesota! I have met a few people so far and everyone seems to be friendly and as such. I particularly liked two of them so far - one guy who is trying to do a renewalble energy project for Bangladesh and another one(an Indian) who owns a LARGE IT outsourcing firm in Minneapolis, MN ( one of the larger cities here).
I have been in
US for almost twenty years and I lived in PA, NJ and VA before IL. I have been home a few times only due to the job demand:-( ........I grew up in Dhaka (Kachukhet/ cantonment area).

I like reading, travelling, technologies etc. I have been to about thirty countries so far (mostly job related, as I work for a company that has offices in over 100 countires).

BTW, I found this post while I was doing some research on Dhaka. I wanted to join immediately but I had to wait about six days before the "validation" e-mail arrived in my inbox!!

Anyway, so far I like this forum and you guys................I am not a big forumer but will try to put my two bits when I can.

And if anyone else here is from Minnesota, let me know too.

Thanks.

Hello Akash,
here's a fellow Minnesotan welcoming you to the forums. Good to see you here. If you subscribe to the MNBDS@yahoogroups.com forum, you will be in touch with most Bangladeshis in Minnesota. Just yesterday we had our Eid gathering in Hopkins with almost 200 people in attendance. If you need any assistance, just send me a PM(private message).

Thanks Manazir and Maruf. I will try to subscribe to that group. How many Bangladeshis are in MN/Twin Cities? And I am sorry but I am not sure how to do a PM here:-( Not that techno savvy:-( I will figure it out, when I get some more time later on.
Thanks again.
I will try to read more post and add my thoughts as much as I can.

Welcome to the forums, Tunir. Hope you get hooked up with your local deshi community - I know this helps in smaller places that are less diverse, like the ones I lived in for most of my time in the US.

Sending a private message is very easy.
1. Click on User CP on the top blue bar
2. On the left side you will see a column which has a section called Private Message
3. You click "Send New Message" and type in the recipient's name(skyscraper name), subject and a message just like a normal e-mail.

Whenever someone responds to your PM, you will get a notification in the upper right corner in the "Welcome, member name" box.

As for the number of Bangladeshis in Minnesota, it's a matter of debate but a conservative number is around 2000. Also, if you crave Bangladeshi products, Patel groceries in Bloomington and Ramadan Halal Meat in Burnsville have almost every BD export food items (fish, pickles, snacks, Aladdin sweets, spices etc.)

What part of town do you live in?

Welcome to SSC Bangladesh. This particular thread is for rudimentary introduction to other members of the forum about your background, interests, hobbies etc. We have active members ranging from teenagers to parents of teenagers :ancient:, but everyone gets equal respect and due consideration in the topics discussed.

well... SSC- it stands for what ? :S

SSC = Skyscrapercity

owh okay ! I got that ... but it seems the forums/ threads discussions are dead !
teenage to parents of teenagers ! ahem ahem ! sounds scary ! lolz .
Do you have any kinda ADMIn/monitor of SSC BD ?

Not all threads are dead. Some like the Aviation, Dhaka City Projects, etc., are very much alive. It all depends on whatever the current newsworthy topic that people want to discuss and a thread that's had no movement in months will suddenly come alive.

The age spectrum is wide but nothing to be scared there. SSC BD is well moderated and by and large juvenile comments ( a la YouTube, etc.) are not tolerated. The age difference allows for unique perspectives on a topic and that in my opinion is healthy.

Your alias "Tabassum" suggests you are a female. Be aware that just like most technical/business forums online, SSC BD has a dearth of female members.

Well.. it's not actually alias, it is my proper name.SSC BD has a dearth of female members"- is this bad or good ? :S well I am pretty much confused !
And why do I have to be aware of it ?Can you elaborate please?

Dhaka city project is pretty much confusing .. I prefer the ADDA- spontaneous discussion ! :-) lol
well.. I'm checking out the other threads too... :-)

Doesn't need much of an elaboration other than the fact that you might not find much of your demographic in the discussions due to most topics being very male centric such as aviation, infrastructure, politics, etc. From prior experience, females generally gravitate away from these discussions, which is kinda sad.

Those of us who are NRBs appreciate every one of our members based in Bangladesh. Hopefully just like them, you will enjoy SSC BD enough to contribute and enlighten us on the comings and goings in our motherland.

Anyway what is this NRB ?

I am currently doing my bachelor in biological sciences (orientation- microbiology and immunology) in Montreal, Canada. I left bangladesh when I was 6 year old. My family is originally from Mymensingh.

I apologize for the late reply and thanks a lot for wishing me. Back to your question. (Its a long long story). Since my childhood (grade 4), I was ambitious to become a physician (doctor) but last year since I did volunteering (required for students applying in Pre-Medecine at McGill University), I realized that medecine is not my field. I had a really bad experience. I did not feel comfortable with patients. It was just too hard for me to see people in such conditions....Therefore, I changed my mind and I said to myself why not getting into pharmacy. Only french universities offered this program in our province, and my parents were totally against me going back to a french institution despite the fact that I studied 11 years in french (I only did my college in english)....(a long story here)....Finally, I decided to do my bachelor in biological sciences (orientation-microbiology) since I was fond of biology and chemistry.

hi this is godfather from dacca

^^
what godfather? o_O ..... shontrashi godfather? :P

:ohno: Hei all! I was looking for a long for a BD forum where I can interact with BD people. Who am I? Except my last two generations, all the earlier generations lived in BD's Faridpur in a village. My grand-mother was from Pabna while my father in law was from Dhaka. Now destiny has put us in a different country but I always look for friendship and look for Bangladesh's growth and progress.

Only the other day I was thrilled to know that BD's PM raised at UN the issue of making Balgla bhasa as one of UN's official language. It is heartening to learn that UN is celebrating the mother language day the day Bangladesh students rose for Bangla bhasa.

I am now happily settled in the western part of India.I am not sure whether this forum has restriction for people from other countries from joining. For the forum's info - my mother tongue is also bengali. Happy Id and Happy Mahalaya

Welcome to the forum. There's no restriction on anyone from around the world in joining and contributing to this forum as long as you follow certain forum etiquettes. Since your forefathers were from present day Bangladesh are you able to understand/speak Bangla? Have you ever visited BD? Just curious.

thanks. I do spk Bengali frankly I am a bheto bangali fond of bhat ghhom on a holiday afternoon after a special non-veggie lunch. i am simple at times emotion take precedence to logic. My only dream is to reach the masses through writing and net. Yes, I have a sweet dream to stay for a day in the village my granddad's father stayed. But with the passage of time and of death of earlier generations we have lost the name of village.

It's nice to see you buddies.

Hello

hello,
a warm welcome to you 'musicity' :P :) ....... I hope you contribute to our thread and please do feel free to comment anything or ask. :)

Alright, thanks Manazir :)

You live in Muscat? I used to live in Qatar which is pretty close to Oman. I heard Muscat is really nice and scenic but I never got the chance to visit :(

no problem ;)

yes atm i am in muscat, and been here since last 8 years and got very bored, InshAllah moving to germany by september for studies :)

Muscat is quite clean and peaceful, that's what I can say but there isn't really much to do here, a 2 week visit would be enough for any tourist in this city.
