My three months (3) of \u2018Odyssey\u2019 to Australia is coming to end. Very soon I shall Inshallah return to \u2018Sonar Bangla\u2019. The present visit after 4 years to this land have put me into many new thoughts to compare my native land \u2018Bangladesh\u2019 with that of Australia.(Not at all a good comparison)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">2. Good news: To my great delight today I could manage to induce \/ forge on a &#8216;Strategic&#8217; Alliance with an Australian Company by the name \u2018Strategic Connections Group\u2019 to despatch skilled \/ semi skilled manpower from Bangladesh to Australia. There seems to be a tremendous opportunity here in this country for engineers &amp; other skilled professionals. We have a population of almost nearing 200 Million people in Bangladesh, compared to a paltry 26 + &#8211; million only in a country Twenty (20) times bigger than ours in land size. So there lies opportunities here. AUSTRALIA: A calm &amp; quiet country, hardly any social unrest or uncertainty. Very disciplined, sober &amp; civilised !<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">3. I felt uncertain, sad and little awkward when I was shown a country appraisal\/ presentation by Mr Raphael Cadars(An engineer by profession) the young energetic CEO on Bangladesh. He seemed to be well aware of the political disturbances &amp; near turmoil conditions we are presently undergoing in our country. He knew all about our garment industry, low pay of the workers ( Not even an \u2018Incredible\u2019 US$ 120\/00 equivalent after a full month). He gave me a very depressive information about Bangladesh, country position in the World Business Index ( Doing Business) placed at 168 in the serial.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">4. Agitational, old style pre-liberation violent way of protests\/ demonstrations are obsolete in the present Global Context &#8211; seems to be unknown &amp; unfelt by the &#8216;Bengalies&#8217; of Bangladesh living in the present era of unimaginable technological advancement. We really need good &amp; wise Leadership to steer our, otherwise a beautiful piece of land from further falling into the abysmal of uncertainty.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">5. Australia, like any other advance \/ modern \/ developed countries is also facing their usual challenges. Infact all challenges and solutions are sought\/ aimed at the &#8216;Future&#8217;. Every year 100000 people are arriving in Australia from all over the world. So most thoughts are pinned \/ focused on creating new Infrastructures to cope with the future needs\/ welfare of the people.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">6.
