It was 21st April, one of the great days for me for two reasons: (1) CCNY President took Isaac Interview and (2) I met with Abu Taher, the editor of Bangla Patrika & CEO of Time Television, first time since 2008.

Not so many people know about my relationship with Taher Bhai. I wrote more articles for him than any other people in the world. Bangla Patrika serialized my two books: one on Muhammad Yunus and other on Hillary Clinton (I translated Hillary Clinton's Living History for Bangla Patrika). In fact, Bangla Patrika used to be my second home: I don’t recall any given day (before 2008) when I did not go to Bangla Patrika Office to have a cup of tea with the quint (Taher Bhai, Dr. Sowkat Ali, Mahabub Bhai, Niaz Bhai, Siraz Bhai and Habib Bhai).

I have been missing Taher Bhai since 2008. This is why, 21st April was one of the great days for me because I met him first time since then. I never shared this story with Isaac. Nevertheless his facial expression tells me that he realized the relationship between his father and the man who held him on the lap.
