Y'day, after a long time, Bangladesh had won a match, and it was their first international win on homegrounds and their first victory against India. India came on that day with a new list of players having removed Pathan, Tendulkar and Dravid. It was a chance to victory and i am glad BD didn't miss out on it. This also makes it two days in a row that they have played competitive cricket. Today is the deciding match... LEts pray for the best.

On the night of the 25th i went to bed the only person in the house. So when around 6 am i heard voices from the other room, i thot i had forgotten to lock the entrance to the house and people have snuck in! But it was only my other flatmates who had arrived sometime in the middle of the night. They told me that an earthquake had just passed. They took to the varenda to show me its effect. The water of the lake behind our apartment was in turmoil. It was like someone was stirring it with a spoon. That was the only experience I had with the quake that killed 12000+ people in the Maldives, Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia and India. It is so strange to know that we had just escaped such a fate.

Our Minolta is sooo old.. that everyone forgot where it was kept. Anyways, we did go on a 30man trip to Rangamati (all family) and i did my bit with dad's Sony DSC P7 digital camera. Here are the snaps. The shot of the sunset was not taken by me though, probably my brother or sister. I discovered a few things tht i didn't know was possible with the camera.. by varying the exposure and focus manually.

I head out to Chittagong tonight. Things to remember:
-Get the old manual Minolta camera, clean off the dust, fungus and other things that grew on it, and bring it home to me.
-Buy a roll of black and white film.
-Come back and pick Mushfique's (a.k.a Mosha [which means 'mosquito']) brain that has some knowledge of photography.
-Remembering that this is a temporary arrangement untill i get me a funky digital camera.
