Another seven days of bringing positive change
It is not always that a day afer returning to work you end up with the treat of a lifetime... and that too inside the IDB premises!!! Light Polao, Mutton Curry, Chicken Roast, Vegetable, Fish Fry, Salad, Firni... Imran Bhai came out with all his guns blazing...The food was finger-licking good (sorry to those who ate with a spoon)... and with zero commute... So...Congratulations to Imran Bhai on his new appointment!!! Meanwhile, those of you who still owe us a treat... You now have very big shoes and tummies to fill!!!
While talking about zero commute... we had guests who tried to cover the commute we saved during Imran Bhai‛s lunch. Our colleagues from Philippines -Titon Mitra and Andrew Parker came along with their government‛s representatives to share knowledge on using digital platforms to reduce urban poverty. So they went all the way to Narayanganj, one of the areas covered by LIUPC, and met the mayor and talked first-hand with the local people there. While we all know that Sudipto Dada is a charming orator, it seems that all the other agencies have also caught on... Which is why the organisers gave him the graveyard shift (the session right after lunch) at the ‘SDGs and Bangladesh‛ to talk about climate change, environment and urbanisation. And Dada kept our heads high presenting with the flair that is uniquely his... According to reports from our spies in the audience, no one slept during his session!!!
P.S.
When Ferrari launched the F10 in 2010, it was one of the fastest cars on the track and a pride for the brand... But now... it seems that the F10s have become very slow... Jokes apart... we still have 304 F10s pending that need to be addressed by tomorrow. Please act fast if you have any pending...
