One of the most influential architects of the mid-20th century, Louis Kahn (1901-1974) realised relatively few buildings, yet the formal restraint and emotional expressiveness of his Jonas Salk Institute, Kimbell Art Museum and the Capital Complex in Dhaka are regarded as an inspired progression from the International Style. This picture is a part of his Capital Complex in Dhaka.

People has a lot of differences.
Some of them prefer to live on the ground.
Some of them grasp the ladder.

Dhaka (Bengali: ঢাকা, pronounced: [ˈɖʱaka]; English /dɑːkə/, /dækə/; formerly romanized as Dacca) is the capital of Bangladesh. Located on the Buriganga River in the heart of the Bengal delta, Dhaka has an estimated population of more than 15 million people, making it the largest city in Bangladesh and one of the largest cities in the world. Dhaka is one of the major cities of South Asia. It is known as the City of Mosques, and with 400,000 cycle-rickshaws running on its streets every day, the city is described as the Rickshaw Capital of the World. Dhaka is also one of the world's most densely populated cities.

Dhaka, Bangladesh, 2015
February 21st, A day for Bangladesh
February 21st, A day for Bangali
February 21st, A day for Bangla
On 21 March 1948, Mohammed Ali Jinnah, the Governor general of Pakistan, declared that Urdu would be the only official language for both West and East Pakistan. The people of East Pakistan (now Bangladesh), having mother language Bangla, started to protest against this. On 21 February 1952, (8th Falgun 1358 in the Bangla calendar), students in the present day capital city of Dhaka called for a provincial strike. The government invoked a limited curfew to prevent this and the protests were tamed down so as to not break the curfew. The Pakistani police fired on the students despite these peaceful protests and a number of students were killed. Four of them were Abdus Salam, Rafiq Uddin Ahmed, Abul Barkat and Abdul Jabbar.

কাশফুলগুলো দেখলে খুব ইচ্ছা করে একবার ছুয়ে দেখতে
ছোঁয়া হয়না কিংবা পরক্ষনেই ইচ্ছাটা মরে যায় !
একদিন মায়াবী ভোরে
হাতে হাত রেখে তুমি হাঁটতে চেয়েছিলে
সদ্য শেষ হওয়া গুঁড়ি বৃষ্টির পর
বৃষ্টিফোঁটা লেগেছিল কাশফুলে রাতভর ঝড়া শিশিরের মত
তার মাঝ দিয়ে তুমি আমি, আমরা হেঁটে যাব
জলকণা ছুঁয়ে যাবে আঁচল, মুগ্ধ চোখ ভাষা খুঁজে নেবে বিষণ্ণ হলুদে
নিটোল গালে ঝড়ে পড়া হাসি
ছুঁয়ে দিব আমি হাতে রেখে হাত, স্বপ্নালু চোখে হারাবো দুজন সীমানা ছাড়িয়ে . . .
