I think I know why it's hard to find peace in the modern world. Reliable electricity. I find that I do my best thinking when our power cuts and the tv, or radio, whatever device I've been using to drown out my inner voice, goes black, and I find myself in a pitch black room, with nothing to do but listen to the noisy generator across the street and just wait. It might be a minute, or ten, or more. I find that it's meditative, forced reflection, which is healthy once in a while.
Life in Dhaka is comfortable, maybe even too comfortable, these days. I've got an air conditioner in my room now. Of course we've had a lovely cool, rainy spell since it's been installed, so I haven't had to turn it on yet. Shazzad has a car now, so getting around is now a minor issue. Finding a place to park, on the other hand, that's a bigger problem.
