"MY WORK" (by Shantanu Biswas)

In Bangladesh, 74% of the country's population below the age of 30, where the youth of Bangladesh is the country's biggest asset. On one hand they are impressionable, on the other they are powerhouses of potential energy. Their views and opinions will undoubtedly have a significant impact in shaping the future of Bangladesh. Will they follow the tides of society or will they take the roads less traveled? Endless pleasure makes them boundless, don't know where the spirit comes from, how and why? Childhood lives in our mind, bright, bold and beautiful

There have been a lot of accidents due to poor management system and lack of concentration from the authority. Bangladesh Railway will still be loss making operation even under private operation. Politically controversial issues make the sector more vulnerable than other and causing service quality poor to the people of Bangladesh. This big industry now requires huge amount of investment and a major labor retrenchment necessary under private operation. Most of the train always break their schedule.

Ripon, a 12 years old brick-field worker comes from Noakhali district to Chittagong. His parents leave him after his birth. He do not have any school education. This innocent boy's childhood world become limited in this brick-field industry. In this globalized world, every country stands themself against the child labor where violation of child labor law is a regular practice in the developing and under developed countries. Here children are forced to work because it's the only way they can avoid starvation. Each child makes about 450 bricks a day and gets paid less than one taka per piece. Their hands are in pain from hours of digging and molding. Their lungs hurt from the constant swirl of dust that surrounds them. And their spirits are shattered because there's little hope that tomorrow will be any different.
