24 April 2010 : Freedom - far from it....

We have friends :) Hahah! Today we met one of our new friend that we met at a BEC dinner. We had a really nice day out with Phil - took a nice long warm walk around Lalbagh Lake, a nice lunch at Secret Garden and then a walk around Freedom Park. This park was commemorated for the freedom fighters who were jailed during the British occupation. It is a nice symbol of representation of freedom. But it seems to me that after being here for almost 2 months, this country is far from being free. Free in many sense of the word - personal freedom, freedom of rights and freedom of free being (meaning the presence of caste which has made a small comeback. The consenses has decided to include this in the consense taking... 2 steps backwards). Well there are many things that makes one feel trapped here - or maybe it is just me coming from another country with all this ideals in my head?! Oh weel....
