Neighborhood of The Decade
Man’s identity comes from the area or neighborhood they belong to. When people step out of their houses and go about their work, not only do they take with themselves their necessary belongings but also carry the essence of their neighborhood along with them. At lunch, at tea, or at gatherings when someone asks “So where do you live?”, the answer always gives away a vivid picture of how one’s life must be in that neighborhood. The routes along which he might’ve traveled to get the place of conversation, the eases or difficulties one may face in that neighborhood and also giving out the socio-economic cluster that person might belong to. Now it isn’t always necessary that all people belonging to one neighborhood belong to the same socio-economic cluster. Neither can it ever logically be derived that a person always inherits the qualities of the common people living in a specific neighborhood; but can you really blame the generalization instincts of human beings? In the recent two decades, a neighborhood has emerged in the northeastern point of Dhaka that has successfully erased the capabilities of people to stereotype. Bashundhara Residential Area. Bashundhara R/A what many might argue is one of most well planned neighborhoods of Dhaka since independence. The block structure, plot sizes, road distribution allows the residents to have a clutter free living experience along with a calm and noise free environment unlike the city centers.
