In Norway, your rivers never change path, your mountains never crumble. Your national anthem sounds like your topography. When people have fixed their mind, it is very hard to change. Your logic is fixed as rock. But Bangladesh is changing and developing day by day. Our rivers flow slow and change their path whenever they meet an obstacle. Our national anthem is soft, with the tones flowing in a dreamy way. Our people adapt to new situations they face every day. Obstacles make us think in new ways. Our logic is flexible, just like our rivers."
