Mr Mustakim, the chief of inter-ministerial committee on control of price hike has delivered a very important startegic plan to control skyrocketing price of essentials. According to his plan, as I heard him talk in TV,
1. People need to starve to reduce food prices. Following the advise of our prophet ” Muhammad”, the nation need to keep 1/3rd of their stomach empty. According to the strategic plan, this step will reduce food price by 1/3 rd.
2. To control high price of Begun ( eggplant), he advised to make Beguni with pepe. So in fact that will be pepeni. He however did not elaborate what will be pepe price when the whole nation, listening to his advise, will race towrads pepe.
……………. Air Vice Marshall ( Now jailed) Altaf does not sound as stupid anymore.

Our Chief Advisor Fakhruddin Ahmed stole Khaleda Zia’s show. During last five years, Khaleda used to invite some orphans from orphanage to have iftar with her. Mr Fakhruddin has repeated the same heart wrenching gesture of overflowing sympathy for the orphan children. Dr fakhruddin Ahmed, however, had a more colorful guestlist than Khaleda. In the party of Etims ( Orphans), he also included the all powerful Baitul Mukarram Khatib, Moulana Obaidul haque.

Rumi, you my friend are a pessimist. You have intentionally written your story to denigrate and demonize Mr. Mustakim. What he really said was that people should eat until their stomachs are 2/3 full. That is a full 2/3 more than empty!
You see the difference between you and Mr. Mustakim is that you are a glass is 1/3 empty kind of guy whereas this visionary economist (Mr. Mustakim) is a glass (or stomach if you will) is a 2/3 full kind of guy.

Onahare nahi khed, beshi khele baare med. And then, for the university students: jana’r kono shesh nai, janar cheshta britha tai.
Of course, the movie ended with: dori dhore maaro taan, raja hobe khan khan.

So will buying begun be considered “anti-state” activity right now?
An economics professor of mine used to tell this story with much relish: after the Soviet Union fell and the first advertisement billboards could be seen around Moscow, some people mistook those advertisements for Communist Party commands and bought whatever was advertised.
Not “buying” what the CP wanted had resulted in KGB visits for the 80 years before that, you see.
