In the past few years, the definition of home has shifted for me in multitude ways. Living in different cities, schools, and countries have created multiple homes for me. As one of my college senior would tell me that I am lucky to have different homes; as there are different places I belong to. But whenever someone asks me where is home? I say the following: I am from Bangladesh, a small, green and (with chuckle) very populated country. I was born in Bangladesh, got raised in there, loved the traffic and the heat. There can be nothing comparable to the prayers in between different times. And the food, wah! Even plain rice, chicken with papaya, egg omelet and masoor dal combined is better than any other food I have had in my lifetime. This is why next year when I have my apartment this is cooking 24/7/365.

However, Bangladesh is beset with many problems. As some folks say, the biggest Bangladeshi dream is to leave Bangladesh. After the July revolution this year though, this stance changed to ‘the biggest Bangladeshi dream is to reform Bangladesh’. This is a huge change in the country’s young morale and the fact that my generation people are saying these means that there is so much to achieve. However, nowadays, political and economic issues are halting everyday productivity. There was a long list of corruptions that was going on since the birth of the nation. To be honest, no nation is set without corruption. However, the scope of corruption in everyday lives in Bangladesh was crazy seen. I do not know how it has changed over the last past months. Everything in social media seems to be going all right, which is a small representation of people living in Dhaka city from my friend list. I know a lot needs to be done for Bangladesh and I am ready to give my service for my country. The population is our main asset although it drags us down. Without enough opportunities, these people turn into the nation’s burden. Creating an atmosphere where growth mindset is appreciated and new ventures are explored is the only key solution I see.

Bangladeshis need to be technically educated, be well spoken, and try to see the broader view. These people have faith in the God and they know how to survive through hardship by seeing the face of their loved ones. A resourceful country with their hard working people doing well in all aspects is the only potential solution. If there are any opportunities that you think will help me to work on Bangladesh that would be great! I am always open to work on a idea that will alleviate the lives of people in Bangladesh.

Happy Victory Day Bangladesh. 53 Years of Proud History.
