How long I cherished to come in Boston, the city famous for its education hub image. I still remember, back in 1988 I applied to Boston University for higher studies. Only due to financial constraints I couldn't come that time. Now with the Humphrey Fellowship, the lost dream fulfilled although very late.
I flew to Boston from Washington DC on 16 Aug last. It's daytime and weather was great. So from the plane the picturesque image of Boston was revealed to me. It's awesome and magnificient. On the brink of great Atlantic Ocean, Boston city standing atall with so many islands, and bays of many different sizes and shapes.I've seen many great cities like Sydney, Melbourne, Singapore, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Jeddah, etc. But Boston's landscape is so special.
Mr. Silas of the Humphrey Program in BU received me at the airport. After check-in to the hotel we'd a little tour to the Boston University (BU)
Having been to Boston some days earlier than my course starts, I tried to explore it. Each day I select a route & walk as much as I can. On 18 Aug I's taken to one of my relative's house at Sharon, a small town about 50 miles away from Boston. There I saw myself the achievement & success ( also frustration) of a Bangladeshi born professional settled long ago here. I notice their children struggling to talk in Bengali language. Also surprising is that albeit its a little town, all wealthier people live there. All houses there are so big ! Imagine the facilities there. That's the speciality of USA - 6% of world population enjoys about 30% of world resources.
