Grew up in Moghbazar. But our current house is in Banani...

Btw. This time when I went to Dhaka, and I visited Moghbazar...it looked just like Manhattan - narrow streets with tall buildings...you'll need to look up to see the sky.

Jahrul Islam's house is in Purana Polton (it was, at least until 2001 or something).

His brother's nati is one of my best buddies.

That's Hanif's house? DIdn't realize that.

In that case, yes Ammar is right.

And my current house is on the right hand side of this picture...only if the camera was moved about 45 degrees to the right.

So did I.We actually lived in moghbazar, Dilu Road since the 80's.
Just recently we moved to Gulshan. But ya I know, the eskaton skyline is amazing is u get the chance to look at it from a 18-20 floor roof.

Ey shei oitihasik Dilu road.....my childhood spent here.
