Dhaka keen to reopen cross-border railways closed in 1965: Hasina

UNB, Dhaka Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said her government is interested to reopen the cross-border railways abandoned following the 1965 India-Pakistan war, for stronger connectivity between Bangladesh and India in the fields of trade, investment and people-to-people contacts between the two next-door neighbours.

Ten-Word Tuesday. Lucky Thirteen Edition.

This past weekend, Bossy’s daughter turned 13 years old and it was so much fun, here’s what happened : first she broke her arm. She didn’t really break her arm, she sprained her wrist — or at least that’s what the emergency room doctor said a few minutes after he examined her and announced her wrist was probably broken, which was just a half hour before the x-rays didn’t reveal a break, which was one day before the x-rays were hopefully sent to a real orthopedic man for a seco

One putt almost put the Grim Reaper in his place

On a warm, rainy night in 1974 Muhammad Ali changed the world in the moment it took a gloved fist to swivel the previously impenetrable jaw of big George Foreman. The location of the contest was as improbable as the result, a jungle clearing in the former Zaire, a stone’s throw from the Congo River, crocodiles looking on as the world’s television crews jockeyed to record what continues to be regarded as the greatest sporting event of all time.
