Giraffes are one of the most attractive animals that the National Zoo (situated at Mirpur, Dhaka) has. People of all ages are curious to meet these tall-necked guys. More than a year ago when a few giraffes were bought from South Africa and caged in the zoo, the number of visitors rapidly increased.
I too was also keen to meet them in person! So, avoiding the rainy weather, I went to the national zoo with a digital video camera to take some clips of the guests. In fact, my purpose to visit the zoo was not only see the giraffes but also take some photos and collect some information about them as well as about other newly-brought animals, so I could write a short report on it.

Q&A: North Korea’s Nuclear Tests

mahbub | 25 June 2009 2:39 am

Question:
North Korea announced on 25th May, 2009, that it carried out a successful nuclear test. It had earlier (on 8th May) warned that it was strengthening its nuclear arsenal, and accused the Obama administration of hostile actions against it. It had also refused to resume the six-party negotiations. Then on 27th May, 2009, it declared that North Korea was ‘not committed to the ceasing of hostilities’ signed with the United States. This refusal was in response to South Korea’s participation in the American initiative to prevent nuclear proliferation. [al-Jazeerah: 31.05.09].

What is the reaction of the international community towards these events? Are these leading to an escalation of tensions and war, or is a war ruled out; will negotiations be resumed? Details…

It is separated from the Indian subcontinent at its narrowest point by 22 miles of sea called Palk Strait. Its total area is 25,332 square miles comprising Sri Lanka 18,042 and Tamil Eelam 7,290 sq miles.

Language of hatred or message of love?

William Gomes | 17 March 2009 11:16 am

By William Gomes

“The time will come when we’ll be people again and not just Jews!” This is how Anne Frank echoes her hallucination during the dark days of the the Holocaust for justice, peace and humanity. Nearly six million Jews were killed by Hitler and the Nazi party, one of worst genocides in history. Hitler’s antisemitism stemmed from his hatred of Jews. Details…
