* To love Bangladesh or your birth district is heroic, to love your family is blood related kindness, to love a girl or boy is romance, to love animal or plant is wonderful, to love your job/work is feedback, to love in general is humanity but to love sex without marriage is crime/hate/shame while food & sex is a love sustaining natural mankind dominated by politics and religion/Islam is missing in action in the name of modernization causing climate-change & global-warming to limit our natural Allah/God-gifted earth-life, the danger I dreamed from the SultanGrave-of-Dularampur in Bancharampur so "Let us wake up for Allah's-Blessing": PeaceMan/DrMomin-Europe: 1peaceman@peaceman.tk *
