SmugMug Photo & Video Sharing. You look better here. : Dhaka Medical College corridor. The best known hospital in Bangladesh. (I spent almost all by time at the LAMB hospital, which is a long way from Dhaka). This corridor is outside the high-level care obstetric ward. The rate of pre-eclampsia and obstetric complications is quite high in Bangladesh. It comes as a shock to a Western-trained doctor such as myself. On the other hand, many babies in Bangladesh are born at home.

> Early morning sunrise over Buriganga River (Bangla: বুড়িগঙ্গা Buŗigônga "Old Ganges") as the man on the left brushes his teeth.

Buriganga is the life line and much happens in and around this river. It is the main river flowing beside Dhaka, capital cityof Bangladesh. With an average depth of 39 feet (12 m) its quite amazing to see the activities along the river. Unfortunately, the river is Dhaka's main outlet of sewage waste and is threatened by pollution and waste. What was mind boggling was that people were using this mucky water to drink, gargle, brush their teeth and take bath all within feets of each other! Amazing immunity system!

> Ariel view of the level of water & flooding!
Almost missed my flight as it was pouring in Kolkata (Calcutta) and there was water logging (flooding) on the streets. Short flight from Kolkata to Dhaka but it was turbulent and bumpy due to the weather.
