LAST UPDATE: I am not a professional report of any media. But my hobby is to collect interesting, investigating news and publish it on any possible media. Today when earthquake hits, I try to contact several organization or person may help me to update the status of post effect of Bangladesh Earthquake. But most of them refused to give any information even just hangup the phone when they understand that I am not representing any news agencies. This is my common experience during collecting news in a lot of incident.

Anyway, This is too night to update the issue as a lot of media is now covering the story. My target was to give basic information to my Blog reader as quick as possible and I am stressful! I could publish the report to by Blog within 1 minute of Earthquake. Thanks to all for visit my Blog. Please subscribe my Blog RSS Feed if you Like my writing..... Bed is calling me... need to Sleep... Talk to you again (If no other quake hit and my building not collapse). Till then have a good day(!)
