The Name of my City is Dust and Smoke and Life

For us, the Homo sapiens, there is a continuous interaction with nature, which makes us what we are, and at the same time, decides what the non-human domain will be like. The influence of nature in the form of the air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we eat, and the flow of energy and information. Any unmediated intervention or radical change in the environment does not only result in devastating effects but also poses a threat to the human race itself. Dhaka the city I live in at present is going through major infrastructural changes without proper planning and without considering the ecological impact this rapid change is going to cause. Dhaka’s trend in rapid development has created a different problem altogether in another direction. It has already left a devastating effect on the ecological balance of the environment in and around the city itself.
