Happy Fifth Birthday to Odekha Bishwo. The online news portal that took its first steps five years ago is now a flourishing carrier of worldwide news. No matter whether we are in Bangladesh or in any other part of the world,the news portal immediately connects us with the latest news of Bangladesh and of the world. People like me who live abroad,the news portal, is a blessing. It is not possible for us to get the Bengali newspaper, but Odekha Bishwo brings Bangladesh to us with the touch on our cell phone screen. And what a comfort it is to read the news in Bengali…our own mother tongue. It is a blessing in two-folds. We, the expatriates, are in touch with the world news and that also in our own language. My best wishes to the team of Odekha Bishwo as I pray that the journey of the News Portal continues with all the feathers of success in its cap. Happy Fifth Bifthday once again and with many more successful Birthdays to come.
