Dhanmondi (Bengali: ধানমন্ডি) is one of the most affluent residential areas in Dhaka city. Its origins can be traced back to the late 1950s, beginning as the residential area for the city's elite, and over the decades evolving into a miniature city, where one can find everything from hospitals to malls, schools, banks, offices and universities.
Dhanmondi is located in the Dhaka District of Bangladesh. It has 33451 houses and a total area of 4.34 km².
Dhanmondi has been traditionally known as an upmarket, affluent residential area. After the liberation war, it primarily consisted of two storied houses and fostered a quiet neighborhood environment. More recently, migration issues, aggressive real estate business policies, and increasing numbers of schools and shopping malls have transformed its quiet residential status to that of a more cosmopolitan, commercial area.
It is in Dhanmondi where the founding father of Bangladesh, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, lived and was assassinated, along with most of his family, in 1975.
I feed on you; you feed on me
When we agree, it's good to be bold
When you act frightened, I'll make you feel stupid
''cause nothing's more stupid than thinking I'm evil
But if you smile then I'll smile, too
There's nothing better to do
I'm just me-- listen to me
A old All-American original
You're down in the mind
And don't say I don't see
You're treating me badly; it's pulling me downmind
Can't bring me downmind, sorry-sack downmind
You're not an only fully true sad man
Though I may seem a flaming total bitch
I'm a special friend
I'm just me-- listen to me
A old All-American original
You're not the cool-cool
You're just a scared fool
Thinking I'm evil & sure of your sickness
Sick just to follow; follower gutless
Mistaken for goodness
And pulling me downmind
Down in the mind; you're sick in the soul
You're treating me nicely; it's pulling me downmind
I'm just me-- listen to me
