The doc-film, created with a combination of travel documentary and short film style with the testimony. It can be called an ‘observational travel film’ as well. Public domain war footage and present views of Hiroshima has been used for testimony. We know the first atomic bomb was inserted in human history by the USA on August 6, 1945, in Hiroshima.

—-
Morning, 6th August 1945
The sky was shining with a bright light!
Mothers were preparing breakfast for lovely children.
Suddenly, a monster smoke coil occupied the sky!
Within a moment, Hiroshima became a city of fire.
Flying birds were burned in the sky!
Humen’s flashes were melted with extreme heat!

The horrible incident made hate-ism
and resentment in my heart!
I keenly feel true love for Hiroshima.

I was waiting to visit Hiroshima from boyhood.
At last, my Hiroshima tour happens.
In the city gate, I could not stop my tear of pain.
I thought Hiroshima is a war-torn city.

I was surprised to see today’s developed Hiroshima.
There was no war-sign, except in the peace memorial building.
The city has been ornamented with arranged buildings like other Japanese cities.
Japanese has forgiven, forgot, and love their enemies.

They made a new world-history and peace example by forgetting a difficult past.

The hate-ism has turned into love and friendship.
The USA is now the most bosom friend of Japan.

Forgetting the genocide  is not an easy task, but the Japanese made it easy.
Japanese planted the Sakura tree on the atom bomb ‘Littleboy’s ash-land.
Yes, humans can love more than hate.

The ruined Hiroshima is now respected
as the ‘City of Peace’, and ‘City of Forgiveness’

I have been inspired by Hiroshima and have forgiven my enemies.
Now I am free and enjoying peace in my original mind.

By war! Like Hiroshima, the morning light of any city
should not turn into the night.

Like you, I would like to see an atomic bomb free world,
war free peaceful world.

Loving enemies is love.
Forgiveness is power!

Social Services on Wheels

GramWeb is a web-based platform developed by Global Communications Center (GCC) to provide a point of information storage and sharing for the 85000 villages of Bangladesh. It enables Villagers at the Base of the Pyramid (BoP) to move from information consumers to information producers. They collect the village data, share those worldwide via their own village site, which is maintained by a villager called Village Information Entrepreneur (VIE) for promotion, communication and thereby make it a source of their income. For the first time villagers will be able to know and share their village to the whole world resulting a virtual global village.

GramWeb assists villagers to become village information owners and invites the BoP villagers to use their village information as their sources of income. This system will increase transparent information with accuracy, and improve villagers’ opportunities.

Patriotic Song

“Ei padma ei meghna”, the popular Bengali patriotic song in violinist Niranjan Bhowmick.

এই পদ্মা, এই মেঘনা (লিরিক্স)

♫♪এই পদ্মা, এই মেঘনা, এই যমুনা সুরমা নদী তটে
আমার রাখাল মন গান গেয়ে যায়
এ আমার দেশ, এ আমার প্রেম
আনন্দ বেদনায় মিলন বিরহ সংকটে
কত আনন্দ বেদনায় মিলন বিরহ সংকটে

এই মধুমতী ধানসিঁড়ি নদীর তীরে
নিজেকে হারিয়ে যেন পাই ফিরে ফিরে
এক নীল ঢেউ কবিতার প্রচ্ছদপটে

এই পদ্মা এই মেঘনা এই হাজার নদীর অববাহিকায়
এখানে রমণীগুলো নদীর মতো, নদীও নারীর মতো কথা কয়
এই অবারিত সবুজের প্রান্ত ছুয়ে নির্ভয় নীলাকাশ রয়েছে নুয়ে
যেন হৃদয়ের ভালোবাসা হৃদয়ে ফোটে
