He is the head of Grameen Bank and is a Bangladeshi social entrepreneur, banker, economist, and civil society leader who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for founding the Grameen Bank and pioneering the concepts of microcredit and microfinance. These loans are given to entrepreneurs too poor to qualify for traditional bank loans. In 2006, Yunus and the Grameen Bank were jointly awarded the Nobel Peace Prize "for their efforts through microcredit to create economic and social development from below". The Norwegian Nobel Committee said that "lasting peace cannot be achieved unless large population groups find ways in which to break out of poverty" and that "across cultures and civilizations, Yunus and Grameen Bank have shown that even the poorest of the poor can work to bring about their own development".[1] Yunus has received several other national and international honours. He received the United States Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2009 and the Congressional Gold Medal in 2010.[2]

Oldie from Shayan - Ekhanei Shukh Chhilo Ekdin (Bliss existed here once)

ওই দ্যাখো, ছড়ানো স্যান্ডেল
ওখানেই সুখ ছিলো একদিন
দেয়ালের ঝুলন্ত মাকড়সার জালে
জড়িয়ে সুখ ছিলো একদিন
একটাই ভাঙা এ্যাশট্রে
ওটাতে'ও সুখ ছিলো একদিন
সারা রাত কল থেকে পানির টিপ্ টিপ্ শব্দে
কি দারুণ সুখ ছিলো একদিন

আজ চলছেনা, ভালো লাগছেনা
দু'জনার পাশাপাশি বনছেনা
তবু শেষ বার তুমি ভেবে দ্যাখো
এখানেই সুখ ছিলো একদিন
এই তো সেই নড়বড়ে
আমাদের সেই ছোট্ট খাট
এখানেই উত্তাল সঙ্গমে
কেটেছে কত কত রাত
ভাঁজ করা আছে নীল মশারি
শত ছিদ্রে সাজানো সে বাসর
মেঝেতে শুয়ে আছে একজন
বিছানায় অতৃপ্ত সে চাদর
আজ খেলা শেষ, আর জমছেনা
দু'জনার পাশাপাশি বনছেনা
আছে দু'জনার শুধু নীরবতা
তবু কল থেকে পানি পড়ছে টিপ্ টিপ্
শার্টের ছেঁড়া বোতামে
কি দারুণ সুখ ছিলো একদিন
দেয়ালের ফাটলের ওই নকশাতে
কি দারুণ সুখ ছিলো একদিন
ওষুধের ওই বাক্সটা
অসুখেও কত সুখী ছিলো একদিন
কুঁচকানো ওই মলিন পর্দাটা
সুখী ছন্দে দুলেছিলো একদিন
জানালার ভাঙা কাঁচটা-তে
দরজার বেয়াড়া হুড়কো-তে
বিকেলের কলিং-বেলে
কি দারুণ সুখ ছিলো একদিন
এখানেই এখানেই এখানেই সুখ ছিলো একদিন

চন্দন কাঠের বুকশেলফ্ -এ
আজো আছে তোমার জীবনানন্দ
কাঁধে কাঁধ মিলিয়ে রবীন্দ্র
শুধু কেটে গেছে জীবনের ছন্দ
দেয়ালের ফ্রেমে আজো বন্দী
দু'জনার এক চোখে দেখা স্বপ্ন
ওরা হাসছে, তবু হাসছে
জানেনা আসছে ভাঙনের লগ্ন
আজ এই ঠোঁটে নেই সেই তৃপ্তি
তাই অবশেষে মুক্তির চুক্তি
তবু শেষবার তুমি ভেবে দ্যাখো
এখানেই সুখ ছিলো একদিন

And this one with a direct jab at Hasina and Khaleda....

Well Captain Aliya is definitely older than your average Spring Chicken flight officer - so she will have a tougher time 'being super fit'. But this is an international flight and the first all female flying crew on a 787 (I believe) which is quite a landmark for women at a global level even.

Biman's first all female flight crew flew the B738 on the DAC-SYL local route on women's day in 2017.

Pakistan also had the pleasure of welcoming their All-female flight crew just this year but that was to a local flight to Gilgit from Islamabad.

In Bangladesh and India the induction of women pilots go back a while - don't know about Pakistan. Maybe one of the Pakistani Bhais/Behens can comment.

First Bangladeshi female commercial pilot was Kaniz Fatema Rukhsana, she joined Biman in 1977.
