My Sylhet essay made it to the Daily Star Weekend Magazine.

Special thanks to Mahmud Rahman for his inspiration.

Really enjoyed reading the article. I have only been to Sylhet a handful of times, but whatever I managed to see of the city, I loved.

I am leaving the comment here because this is the most recent posting. I have some of your ideas for developing IT in Bangladesh.

You may want to read a report on "How to develop IT in Bangladesh" You can find the report here. I think many of your ideas are reflected here.

Hi Hammad,

Thank you very much!

Hi Shahzaman,

Thank you very much for pointing out
the report. I will need some time to
read it, but unfortunately I am on travel and am not always connected,
so I will wait until I am back in
Dhaka.

Last time I was in Sylhet (August 2007), I was very frustrated with accessibility to information.

Hence I created www.zindabazar.mobi, as an attempt to build a fun and easy to use platform where people can access information of organisations via mobile phones. The site also allows users to post things that they want to sell..
