Re: The Bangla Language Movement and Ghulam Azam

The bengali Daily Azad, on June 20, 1970, reported that Golam Azam, then head of Jamaat-e-Islam, on a tour in West Pakistan, said "It was wrong to do the 1952 language movement." Here is a link. http://t.co/I8vf6CtddI

Also, Mr Azami (the author) did not elaborate on the sentence "Despite politically opposing the secession of Pakistan..." Exactly how did he oppose? Could you enlighten us about his involvement in the Rajakar para-militia force in 1971?

See you in the field. And you should not underestimate anybody, and the Netherlands the least. Let us see, let us see.

BCCI are proud and arrogant: India never invited Bangladesh for a home series ever in the past decade, solely for monetary reason. As a cricket team, they are pretty damn good. But nobody is above flaws, and I wish Bangladesh defeats India tomorrow. Again. Hit us with your best shot.

I was awestruck. The ceremony was immaculate (even after politicians' blahblahs.) A culminating portrayal of our emotion--of one hundred and seventy millions. We will win tomorrow, inshallah.

Yeah...
"If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you
But make allowance for their doubting too,"

Startup days are full of waves of elation and frustration. But I will hang on.

Thanks for your note.

Hi,
I have read the whole series, and its about time I've shared something.

Have you read the poem "If" by Rudyard Kipling? If not, go google it out.

I am working with four of my friends in a startup for ten months. We all quit our jobs ten months ago with a dream to "build something people want", obviously we were (and are) greatly inspired by Paul Graham. Details (and bad days) aside, we have developed a simple web application that we are hopeful about trying at YC winter 2008.

I live in Bangladesh, and living the startup life (and dream) is more tough than in USA (or other places).

I completely agree with you on the following points:
1. Conviction
2. Talking to people about what you are doing
3. Leadership and decidability. I remember a quote from another startup postmortem that they lacked "a leader to say that the buck should stop here".

You didn't mention the mental support you got from your family and girlfriend, which I believe is a very important bolster for a startup. My girlfriend is pissed off at my startup thing. She says she can't take such uncertainty. I could be more productive if things would be otherwise. My parents are giving me wonderful support, without which I couldn't last long.

I believe, and still believe, someday I will build something that will establish my entity in the Internet. Pray for me. I wish you good luck, and success.
