Hats Off Boss.
Thanks a lot for bringing in Dhaka in a such nice face. One thing i must mention my father is an retired PWD engineer as well , i would give this idea to him also. He is ailing i dont think he would be able to do such as well.
You are unparallel as usual! Excellent post. Keep up the awesome work. Many thanks to you.
