Another seven days of bringing positive change

This week ended empty... after two consecutive weeks, we failed to score a hat-trick. NO TREATS THIS WEEK... One of the key reasons could be that we had a lot of SERIOUS and heavyweight events this week. For example, the training for ERD officials on ECONOMIC DIPLOMACY organised by our K4DM colleagues at BICC. For those of you who are comparing the topic to buying gifts or covering costs for your spouses... this is a very different type of diplomacy!!! Economic diplomacy is a prime tool that effectively uses a country‛s foreign policies to serve its national interests... so basically the training was on... how to negotiate better... learn how others are negotiating... and how it should be for Bangladesh. And if you think it could not have gotten heavier than this... you are mistaken... We also had 20 lawmakers toiling half a day ‘storming‛ their brains to find out how the parliament‛s MoU with UNDP can be utilised to help them contribute towards achieving the SDGs. The brainstorming session was chaired by the Speaker herself and our sources inside said we had quite a lot to look forward to. So fingers crossed...

Things have really KICKED OFF for our very own Van after coming to Bangladesh. After securing her honorary ‘Chakma‛ title last week in the hills... Van is apparently in line to secure a place on the Barca squad this week. Just look at the picture!!! So now she has the title... the fame and the riches!!! Just hoping she does not “Leave us behind” for a soccer career Good luck Van... remember to bring autographs!

P.S.

It seems that our cameras are just catching these guys. And again its very FISHY!!! This time it was Gandhi up to no good... Check out the footage...
