I am sure sohel bhai has a good reason for his absence. Knowing him, may he is volunteering down south. Missing him at BC though.

Dear Mijan, K, Antora and Tonoy –

Thank you for your kind sentiments. I am touched to say the least …

I have been busy with relief-work in and around Bagerhat since my last post here in BC. I’m back in Dhaka just to gather some of my stuff and go back for a longer stay, probably for two more months.

I cannot describe, or rather am too heartbroken and depressed to describe the death, destruction and crumpled lives around me. Only my work, meaning doing whatever I can to assist in the relief and reconstruction effort, drags me out of myself in the morning and keeps me going until I literally pass-out from exhaustion at night. The physical exhaustion keeps me focused on the morning to come, and keeps despair from resonating too intensely inside my heart.

I feel a strange knot of stagnant emptiness inside me, a knot of air seemingly left behind by a part of me that dies everyday as I continue to hear stories from shattered lives. Then I’d suddenly find myself forgetting about that void and finding hope in the smile and warmth of those who have lost loved ones and literally every other measure of happiness, and simply revel at the depth of their faith in GOD our Lord and the subsequent moral courage GOD has graced them with. Though not at all a stranger to death, destruction and the indomitable spirit of the faithful regardless of faith, this particular killing zone has been a life changing experience for me. I do not know why, and at this point, don’t really care to. I've decided to liquidate my consultancy firm and dedicate myself fulltime to service. I also intend to adopt as many children as I possibly can. GOD in His infinite grace, has provided more than enough for me to do that at this point.

Time for me is no longer a path without an end, and I’m learning to value it more than I have in my hyperactive, busy, and multi-tasking life. Spending time on the net, even checking my e-mail seems somewhat vulgar to me now. The privileged class of Dhaka just makes me nauseous with their heartlessness, politicking and apathy. So I’ve decided to move down south for a while. I don’t know when I’ll be posting next or how often if I do, but I will try to stay in touch with my family here in BC whenever I’m in Dhaka.

Peace, Sohel.

Sohel bhai that is so nice of you. Hope many more follow you and stand by those victims. May Allah gives us strength, help us recover, and specially bless you with a good health.

I echo the same sentiments. These events really put life into perspective. Keep up the good works, Sohel bhai. Adopting childrens- orphans or not- is really a noble deed, indeed! Hope more and more deshi people will come forward.

What a nice gesture from Sohel_NR. In the bigger scheme of things, cricket, Internet and all such things mean nothing. I wish Sohel writes real stories, however devastating they maybe in the Forget Cricket section. In another thread I read members discussing who would take part in the benefit match. Nothing wrong with that. But we should not lose the perspective. The match is not important. It is the donation and how soon it gets to the needy people.

May Allah bless Sohel and people like him. Who said Bangladesh does not have selfless people?

Wow Sohel bhaiya. This really shows how great of a person you are. If only Bangladesh had more people like you in the country who would do anything for the country. Another example of your greatness bhaiya. May Allah bless you and help you with all the obstacles you come in life for doing stuff like this!!

It's no problem Kabir bhaiya. I know that you are really busy nowadays so you could help me whenever you are not busy and if it is not bothering you!!

Thanks.

Praying for your success.

Come back soon!
