...Traffic Jam I live in Dhaka, only 20 minutes away from my university; but I get out from my house about 1 hour and 15 minutes before class will start. Because of terrible traffic jam, most of the time it takes about an hour to reach university. I remember a week, right after Eid-ul-Fitr Dhaka city was like half empty, at that week I went to university in 20 minutes. Dhaka is a mega city. More than twelve million people live here. Day by day the number is increasing and most part of Dhaka is badly affected by the population growth. More than 7 hundred thousand rickshaws ply the city road, but only 75 thousand have legal number. This huge number of rickshaws is creating traffic jam. From time to time attempts are made to reduce the number, but the initiative usually produces no results. The number of rickshaw pullers is huge. Almost there are no roads or street or lane free from traffic jam. Traffic jam is obstructing trade and commerce. Illegal parking is another reason for traffic jam. Cars, trucks and other vehicles are parked almost everywhere. Faulty traffic signaling systems, inadequate manpower and narrow road spaces and overtaking tendency of drivers create pro-longed traffic congestions and intensify sufferings of commuters keeping people motionless as well as creating suffocating condition in the streets. Also there are bus terminals not authorized by the traffic department and drivers do not go by traffic rules. VIP protocol maintaining is another reason for frequent...

...Ang Lee conveys. After watching the film several times, concentrating on the narrative and formal elements that build themes of the film, I could finally recognize some of purposeful messages that Lee hopes us to catch. In the sequence (2:21:38~2:25:30), a scene right after Mr. Yee madly runs to his car when Wang Chia-chi tearfully murmurs to Mr. Yee to escape, a professional combination of formal elements, especially mise-en-scene and cinematography, effectively builds two themes in Lust, Caution - a destined life of one woman and her sacrifice. The sequence begins with a long shot of Wang Chia-chi exiting Chandni Chowk Jewellers by explicitly displaying her anxiousness. The camera track shots Wang Chia-chi as she cannot find an empty rickshaw. Looking around restlessly with an uneasy look, slightly withered and stumbling body, and even wandering fingertips are recorded intact. The reason of this uneasiness if because she has finally broke the frame of the play she has played in and has faced the reality. According to previous scenes, we see Wang Chia-chi is passionate in acting. She has dedicated herself so much in the play that she recognizes herself as a whore. However, she is no longer in the play and her lover has left her. Would not a person whose goal has been totally vanished look similar to Wang Chia Chi? Lee thoroughly plots out and catches every little detail to portray shaky figure of...

...THE JINRIKISHA Adalia Kelly 2429682 The Jinrikisha was well known as a common traditional transportation in some countries around the world. Jinrikisha means “human-powered vehicle”, transportation consisted of a two-wheeled cart and seats that was occupied by two passengers and ran by a single person. In some countries within Asia, jinrikisha became known as a rickshaw, which was used by people with high social status and wealth. In Japan, jinrikisha was a common use of transportation. During that time the use of humans was cheaper compared to animals. Jonathan Goble was a missionary from Wayne, Europe, and the creator of the jinrikisha. Jonathan originally invented the Jinrikisha for his wife, Eliza Weeks, who was ill and felt uncomfortable using the sedan chair to travel. He requested personally to Frank Pollay to make him a small car that looked similar to a baby carriage, its purpose was to allow his wife to travel through the crowded street of Yokohama without any discomfort. The Jinrikisha has become prominent mode of transport in most of the countries. Particularly in Asian countries, as it was modeled to be the perfect type of transportation to travel through busy streets or carry large amounts of goods and materials to other places. The Jinrikisha was purely Japanese vehicle and it was imported to China in 1874. It became the most commonly used transportation for people in China.

Introduction The rickshaw is a small-scale local means of transport. It is generally a pedal-driven vehicle i.e. it is run by human power. But at present rickshaw with an electric motor is available to assist the puller. The rickshaw was built in the 1880s and was first used with regularity starting in 1929 in Singapore. Six years later they outnumbered pulled rickshaws. Cycle rickshaws were found in every south and East Asian country by 1950.

...INTRODUCTION Lu Xun (1881--1936), whose hometown is Shaoxing, Zhejiang, is a great modern litterateur, ideologist and revolutionist. His family name is Zhou; his given name is Shuren; and his sobriquet is Yucai. “Lu Xun” is a pen name used after the May 4th new culture movement. Because his writings under this pen name have a great influence, people are used to calling him Lu Xun. He was a diligent student, liked raising questions, had a very good memory and in 1902, Lu Xun graduated with excellent marks and with a government scholarship, he went to Tokyo to attend the Kobun Gakuin to study Japanese. Later, he attended Sendai Medical School to study medicine. Lu Xun was deeply influenced by the bourgeois democratic revolution and took an active part in the anti-Qing Dynasty revolution. He united and led many revolutionary, progressive literary and artistic workers to fight against imperialism, feudalism, and the Kuomintang government and its writer’s measure for measure. With tenacity, he stuck to the struggle and wrote hundreds of essays, which made great contributions and were like daggers and guns in the anti-culture encirclement and suppression. He kept in close contact with party members of the CPC and firmly supported the National United Front of Resistance against Japan proposed by the CPC. He compared himself to “fire stealer,” committing himself to the Sino-foreign culture exchange and advocated...

...My childhood I grew up at small town in Korea. My family is consist of my dad, my mom, three older sisters and me. I remember my childhood was happy. I spent time with my sisters and they took care of me well. Especially My third sister was very close to me. Wherever she went, she used to hang me out together. My family is kind of big family in my country. At that time I didn’t like it but now I realize it made my childhood abundant. I liked reading book a lot. My sister said in her memory I was reading all the time. I liked specially novel. My mom bought me the series of world literature. I read whole the books. And I also liked imagining about the story that I read. One day, I was reading ‘Gone with the wind’. I stopped it and went to the restroom. After that I went to living room. My family was watching TV. I told them “Why did you turn the TV channel?” they didn’t understand what I was saying because they were watching the same show for 30 minutes. I was realized it was not TV. It was my book. Sometimes I was confused between real life and story life. And I said to my friends book story like my real life. So maybe they could think I was a liar. My home town was so small and there was not special. I think that is why I liked book a lot because I could go all over the world and all generations. When I was 15, I went to high school in other area. So I had to leave home. My mom and dad were so sad. But. I came from Korea. I came to America last year for teaching Korean...

...Transportation Problems of Dhaka City: Findings from an Opinion Survey A. Introduction Over the last few years the transportation problem of Dhaka City has visibly been deteriorating steadily. Citizens constantly complain about the unbearable twin problems of traffic jam and air pollution. Democracywatch decided to address this problem through an opinion poll covering around eight hundred households randomly selected from several purposively selected neighbourhoods of the city, representatives of middle and lower income areas. The questions asked focused mainly on three issues: (a) the nature of the problem as perceived by the surveyed residents, (b) their understanding about the causes of these problems and (c) their recommendations on solutions to these perceived problems. Some preliminary results from this survey were presented at a workshop, which was participated by persons associated with the formulation and implementation of traffic policies, rules and programmes. This Draft Final Report benefits from valuable discussion and comments received at the workshop. The methodology of this survey is explained below in brief. It is easy to see that the study extended beyond a standard opinion poll and entered the arena of investigative research in seeking some explanations to perceptions as well as behaviour. The findings are presented mainly in the form of self-explanatory tables with some introductory highlights and conclusions. A further extension of the survey...

There are different types of vehicular namely, car, bus, jeep, truck, minibus, microbus, auto-rickshaw, tempo, mini-truck, motorcycles and innumerable numbers of rickshaws. There are many reasons behind traffic jam in Bangladesh. Among them some major factors are as follows: • Undisciplined traffic signal in the road. • Indiscipline among the road user. • Might is right, everybody are free to park their vehicle on Road. • No knowledge of traffic rules which encourage violating the rules. • Enforcement of rules by dishonest persons who are busy in collection of illegal money from traffic rules violators. • Heavy numbers of vehicle on roads. Time is the most valuable things in the twenty first centaury no doubt. And traffic jam is killing the most productive time of the people of Dhaka city.

Appendix 28 About 7 years ago, I remember that my English teacher came to the classroom with a very sad face. She was very upset and was sweating. She was so upset that she could not take the class properly and left the classroom early. Later on when she was asked by one of our senior students, she revealed the reason for which she was so upset. While travelling in the public bus that she uses everyday to come to school, she was literally sexually harassed. She was sitting on the front row of the crowded bus when suddenly two men came in front of her and was somehow touching her chest with their elbows. In the rush, they were acting as if it was not intentional but our teacher understood that it was purely planned by the two. As the bus was going, our teacher tried to complain but she felt silent and nervous and did not react as she was completely numb. Through out the route, the two men explored that area of her body. When our teacher got down from the bus, she realized what exactly had happened. It was later found that she...

...Meru, no service of its kind was previously available in India. Over the last four years, several companies have introduced radio-cab services that were essentially identical to that of Meru. While the radio-cab industry in India has become a “red ocean”, where several companies are competing for profits and market share, Meru, by virtue of being the first entrant, has established its brand as a provider of comfortable and trustworthy means of transport within major metro cities. Prior to Meru Cabs, the only available modes of transport in major Indian metros were public transport (local rail and bus), yellow cabs and auto-rickshaws or private cars. While public transport is comparatively the cheapest mode of transport, local rail and bus lines are overcrowded, carrying almost three times the listed capacity during rush hour times. Yellow cabs and auto rickshaws while providing slightly better comfort, are not air-conditioned and can only be hailed on the street with drivers often refusing undesirable fares. Private...

...The Company Bajaj Auto is the flagship of the Bajaj Group of Companies. Bajaj is currently India's largest two- and three-wheeler manufacturer and one of the biggest in the world. Bajaj has long left behind its annual turnover of Rs. 72 million (1968), to currently register an impressive figure of Rs. 81.06 billion. Current Situation & Current Performance In FY2013, Bajaj Auto sold over 3.76 million motorcycles in India and abroad. This represented a decline of 2% over FY2012. Sales growth was flat for the industry as a whole. The Company’s share of total motorcycles sale fell marginally to 31.4%. Given extremely muted demand in India, the Company sold 2,463,874 motorcycles in the domestic market during FY2013, which was 4% lower than in the previous year. Share in the domestic market was 24.4% as against 25.4% in FY2012. Urban as well as rural markets were affected by relatively high interest rates on consumer loans, high inflation and a deep sense of uncertainty. Consumer durable purchase decisions were pushed back, and motorcycles were no exception. This was particularly true of models belonging to the upper end Performance segment, which represents a substantial proportion of Bajaj Auto’s motorcycle business. Even so, Bajaj Auto continues to lead at the upper end. It sold a total of ~925,000motorcycles in the upper end Performance segment in FY2013. Share in domestic market was47.4%. The Company’s key brand in this segment, Pulsar, is in its 11th year. To create excitement...
