   Hi Partha. I just checked from Amsterdam and the link https://drik-amsterdam-01.drik.net:10000/virtualmin-mailman/unauthenticated/listinfo.cgi/shahidulnews (under the heading “Subscribe to ShahidulNews” – just above the blogroll, not the subscribe button above which relates to feeds – does appear to be working). I shall subscribe you anyway. Warm regards, Shahidul

   Dear Mister Alam,

   I don’t think my writing is relevant for your blog, but I couldn’t reach you on youre website. Please, I would be gratefull if you can find time to read my question.

   Dear Mister Alam,

   Recently I saw information about you on a Dutch news website. The first thing I noticed is, that you come from Bangladesh. For me Bangladesh is the name of the country where I was born. Besides the western view of Bangladesh I know little to nothing about your country. I’ve been there once as a tourist, but I did not have the feeling that I got to know the country and her citizens.
   I was adopted to the Netherlands and a few years ago I started to experience the effect of loss of my (biological) mother, who I never met since she died when I was born. The feeling was intense and the effect of this experience of grief is that I suddenly felt more freedom to feel and experience things around me. Becoming more aware of myself so to say.
    
   Facts tell me I’m a Dutch citizen and have all the things I materially could wish for. But the other reality is that I feel the need to look for my biological family; If not my parents, maybe a sister and other relatives, like an uncle.
    
   Being a human right activist, I can imagine, that the stories people tell you are much more serious than mine, but if you can spare some time I would be grateful if you could be of any assistance, due to the fact of your understanding and managing  to find your way in Bangladesh administration.
    
   Can you tell me to what organisation – public or private – I can contact to support me to find my biological family, if there are any?
   Maybe it is possible for you to assist me by informing me about the necessary contact details. Or maybe you have any advice where I should start or work from to fulfill my wish to reconnect with my origin.
    
   Thank you so much in advance for taking the time to read this email.
   Kind regards,
   Rani Wierda

   Dear Rani,

   I will be happy to try and trace your biological mother. I can make no promises, but please send as much information as you can to my email ID shahidul@drik.net and I will try and see what I can come up with.

   Best wishes,

   Shahidul
