Before delving into the aforementioned topics, allow me to share a story of the PM that impressed me. A few weeks back, Tarique Rahman invited members of the Newspapers Owners’ Association of Bangladesh (Noab) to exchange views about the industry. He was informal and courteous, and made us all feel relaxed by beginning the session with a personal story. He said it was during the holy month of Ramadan that he assumed office. Working late, he and his staff needed to have iftar in the office. He found that the iftar package supplied by a Parjatan Corporation hotel cost Tk 900 per person. He searched and considered various combinations of iftar items, and finally ended up with a healthy and nutritious option that cost Tk150 only. He selected that iftar package for his office. He then sprang a surprise on us, saying that the lunch he was about to treat us to also cost the same. It consisted of plain rice, vegetables, lau chingri (bottle gourd and prawn—the small variety), and daal, served hot and fresh. It might not have been the most expensive lunch, but it was light, simple, and delicious.
