Thanks all for your input. Nasimul bro was right. Since I didn't have a 'No Visa required" stamp on my passport I had to take an "On arrival Visa" like a non-Bangladeshi citizen although I had a valid Bangladeshi passport. I haven't visited home for many years, so I was bit concerned about dhaka airport's 'Hoyraani' based on the stories I heard. But it all went reasonably smooth (except load-shedding kept me waiting little longer at the counter). I had to pay $51 though to get a 30 day visa. Funny I didn't need to pay a single dollar when I got out of Bangkok airport during my transit.
My dad had a brain stroke. So I had to leave immediately. Didn't have the time get a "NVR" stamp on my passport since there is no Bangladesh consulate office in my city (Melbourne).

Hopefully it was a mild stroke, and I'm sure you guys are doing all you can to get him the best medical help available, with a bit of luck(and the Big Guy helping out) he will pull through alright!
