ACT 1 প্রথম দৃশ্য
রাত ১১টা। কলিংবেল বাজছে । সীমা অপেক্ষা করছে ১০ মিনিট ধরে। সাব্বির এসে দরজা খুললো।
সাব্বিরঃ এতক্ষনে আসার সময় হলো ?
সীমাঃ পেশেনটের অবস্থা খারাপ ছিল। ইমিডিয়েট সার্জারি করতে হল।
সাব্বিরঃ সারা বছর ধরে তো একই কথা শুনে আসছি।
সীমাঃ কি করব ? আমার কাজটাই তো এমন।সারা বছর কই, মাঝে মাঝে তো এমন হতেই পারে। খেয়েছ?
সাব্বিরঃ বাইরে থেকে খেয়ে এসেছি।
সীমাঃ কেন? বাইরে থেকে খেয়ে এসেছ কেন ?
সাব্বিরঃ বাসার খাবার মুখে রোচে না।
সীমাঃ তুমি বুয়ার রান্না খেতে পারো না তাই আমি নিজে রান্না করি দিয়ে গেছি। সেই খাবারও তোমার মুখে রোচে না?
সাব্বিরঃ অরুচি শুধু খাবারে না তোমার প্রতিও ধরেছে।
সীমাঃ ( আহত চোখে) আমাকে কি করতে বলো ?
সাব্বিরঃ কি আর করতে বলব, যা ইচ্ছা করে যাও।
(সাব্বির গ্লাস ভেঙ্গে ফেললো।)

২য় দৃশ্য দুজন পাশাপাশি শুয়ে আছে। অন্যদিক ফিরে। সীমার চোখ বেয়ে পানি পড়ছে আর মাঝে মাঝে ফুপিয়ে উঠছে। সাব্বির সেদিকে বিরক্ত চোখে তাকিয়ে মুখ ফিরিয়ে ঘুয়িয়ে পড়ল। ( তাচ্ছিল্য ভাবে তাকাবে)

৩য় দৃশ্য
সকাল বেলা । সীমার ফোন বাজছে। কয়েকবার রিং হলো। সাব্বির ফোন ধরল।
সাব্বিরঃ হ্যালো !
অপরপ্রান্তঃ জী আমি ক্লিনিক থেকে বলছি । ম্যাডাম কে একটু দেওয়া যাবে।
সাব্বিরঃও তো একটু ব্যাস্ত আছে। পরে ফোন দিন।
অপরপ্রান্তঃ কিন্তু পেশেনটের অবস্থা খুব খারাপ। ম্যাডামের এখনই ক্লিনিকে আসা দরকার। প্লিজ একটু ম্যাডামকে দিন।
সাব্বিরঃ আচ্ছা ।
সাব্বির লাইন কেটে দেয়। এরপর কয়েক সেকেন্ডের মধ্যে আবার কল আসল। এরপর সাব্বির ফোন বন্ধ করে রাখে। আধাঘণ্টা পর। সীমা প্রায় তৈরি। সেল ফোন হাতে নিয়ে বন্ধ দেখে অবাক হয়ে গেল। সেট খুলতেই ফোন আসলো । (সীমা দ্রুত ফোন রিসিভ করলো)
সীমাঃ হ্যালো অপরপ্রান্তঃ ম্যাডাম আপনার ফোন বন্ধ পাচ্ছি কেন? কাল রাতে যে পেশেনটের সার্জারি করা হয়েছিল তার অবস্থা খুব খারাপ। প্রচুর ব্লিডিং হচ্ছে । আপনি তাড়াতাড়ি চলে আসুন।
সীমাঃ কই আমি তো ফোন বন্ধ করি নি, আচ্ছা আমি এখনই আসছি
সাব্বিরের দিকে তাকিয়ে “তুমি ফোন বন্ধ করে রেখেছিলে ?” (সাব্বির কিছু বলল না।)
সীমাঃ This is not fair sabbir. অদ্ভুত মানসিকতা তোমার।
এরপর সীমা এপ্রোন আর স্টেথিস্কপ নিয়ে দ্রুত বাসা থেকে বেরিয়ে পড়ল। ACT 2 প্রথম দৃশ্য
সীমা দ্রুততার সাথে ক্লিনিকে ঢুকল।
সীমাঃ কি অবস্থা জাহিদ?( হাটতে হাটতে)
জাহিদ চুপ করে থাকে।
সীমা কেবিনের সামনে এসে দাঁড়ালো। রোগীর আত্মীয় বেরিয়ে আসল। চিৎকার করতে থাকলঃ ‘’ আপনার জন্য আমার বোন আজ ......।‘’ ছেলেটা কথা শেষ করতে পারলো না। কান্নায় ভেঙ্গে পড়ল।সীমা আস্তে আস্তে সেখান থেকে সরে আসবে।
সীমাঃ জাহিদ , আজ রুটিন চেকআপগুলো করে তাড়াতাড়ি বাসায় ফিরব। ‘’
সীমা চেকআপ সেরে রাস্তায় হাটতে থাকে। দ্বিতীয় দৃশ্য
বাসায় আগে ফিরে বারান্দায় বসে থাকে । এমন সময় সাব্বির এলো। কোনও কথা হলো না দু’জনের মধ্যে ।রাত ১১ টা মিনিট। সীমার ফোন বাজছে। সীমা উঠে ফোন রিসিভ করলো ।
অপরপ্রান্তঃ হ্যালো ম্যাডাম শুনতে পাচ্ছেন ?
সীমাঃ হ্যাঁ, জাহিদ বলো শুনতে পাচ্ছি।
জাহিদঃ ম্যাডাম একটা ঝামেলা হয়েছে।
সীমাঃ কি ঝামেলা?
জাহিদঃ যে পেশেনটটা মারা গিয়েছে তাদের আত্মীয় স্বজন কেস করেছে। পুলিশ এসেছে। আপনার সাথে কথা বলতে চায়। বাসার ঠিকানা চেয়েছিল , আমি দেই নি।
সীমাঃ ওনাদের অপেক্ষা করতে বলো । আমি আসছি।
সীমা ক্লিনিকে যাবার জন্য তৈরি হয়।
সাব্বিরঃ কোথায় যাচ্ছ ?
সীমাঃ দায় এড়াতে।
সাব্বিরঃ মানে ?
সীমাঃ তুমি যে লোকটাকে আজ খুন করেছ তার দায় এড়াতে।
সাব্বিরঃ ওহ ! বুঝতে পেরেছি। তুমি এখন কোথাও যেতে পারবে না। এন্ড দিস ইজ মাই অর্ডার।
সীমাঃ কাগজে স্বাক্ষর করে আমি তো তোমার দাসী হয়ে যাই নি । তবুও এতদিন দাসীর মতই থেকেছি। তোমার দাসী ছাড়া আর কিই বা ছিলাম।আমার ক্যারিয়ার, আমার পরিবার , সব কিছু তোমার জন্য আজ যেতে বসেছে। আত্মসম্মানটাকে বিকিয়ে দিয়েছি। নিজের দিকে তাকিয়ে আয়নায় যে মানুষটিকে দেখি সে আমি নই।নিজেকে মূল্যায়ন করতেও আজ অরুচি হয়। এত অধঃপতন হয়েছে আমার !! মানুষটা মরে আজ বুঝিয়ে দিয়ে গিয়েছে যে আমি অনেক ক্ষমতা আমার। চাইলেই আমি তোমার অন্যায়ের বিরুদ্ধে কথা বলতে পারি। চাইলেই তোমার শৃঙ্খল থেকে বের হতে পারি। যাপিত জীবন কোনও অমানুষের সাথে কাটানো আর পশুর সাথে কাটানো যে একই কথা তা আমাকে চোখে আঙ্গুল দিয়ে দেখিয়ে দিয়েছে। আমি যাচ্ছি।
সাব্বিরঃ তাই নাকি ? যদি এখন যাও তবে আর কোনদিন ফিরে আসার দরকার নেই।
সীমাঃ ভয় দেখাচ্ছ ?নারী বলে অবলা ভাবছ? হ্যাঁ, এমন একটা অমানুষের সাথে জীবন কাটানোর চেয়ে একা কাটানো জীবনটা আশা করি মন্দ হবে না। ওকে আমি যাচ্ছি। ডিভোর্স দরকার হলে জানিয়ো। আমি সই করে দিব।
সীমা বেরিয়ে যায়। চোখ বেয়ে পানি পড়তে থাকে ।সাব্বির স্থির দৃষ্টিতে তাকিয়ে থাকে। সীমা আর কখনও সাব্বিরের কাছে ফিরে আসে না।

Tax Evasion in Bangladesh

...“TAX EVASION & AVOIDANCE - A REAL PROBLEM FOR BANGLADESH” INTRODUCTION: Tax evasion and avoidance are both phenomena that are probably as old as taxation itself. Wherever and whenever authorities decide to levy taxes, individuals and firms try to avoid paying them. Though this problem has always been present, it becomes more pressing in the course of globalization as this process extends the range of opportunities to dodge taxation while simultaneously reducing the risk of being detected. Developing and emerging countries like Bangladesh are particularly vulnerable to tax evasion and avoidance activities of individual taxpayers and corporations. While tax revenues in OECD-countries are almost 35 per cent of GDP ,in case of Bangladesh it is only around 10%.This can be considered one of the primary reasons for large differences in the ability to mobilize own resources between developed and developing countries. Tax evasion and tax avoidance is a great problem in our country. In Bangladesh there are many individual taxpayers and corporations who are evading or avoiding tax. As a result government’s developments activities are hampered. So, we should know about the tax evasion and tax avoidance and thereby its preventives measures.

Review of the Tax System in Bangladesh a Prerequisite for Industrial Growth

...Proceedings of the AABEA Biennial Convention, October 12th, 2002, Washington DC, USA Review of the Tax System in Bangladesh A Prerequisite for Industrial Growth T. A. M. Nurul Basher* E-mail: nurul-basher@betelco.com Abstract - This paper has been written to highlight the sustainable industrial growth problems being faced by the entrepreneurs in Bangladesh. There are multifarious problems for Industrial growth in Bangladesh but the major bottleneck is the adverse tax system. There exists no consideration for industrial raw materials import in so far as application of duties and taxes compared to those of finished consumer goods. The net result is increase in production cost which in turn makes the product noncompetitive. So as not to create an extra burden on industrial productions, the government needs to remove duties and taxes from imported raw materials as in many Middle Eastern countries and Thailand. The government implicitly accepts the adverse effects of the improper taxes on our industrial growth and has tried partially to alleviate some of these impediments by creating Export Processing Zones and Bonded Ware Houses; this paper explores the benefits doing away with these high import duties altogether. It also looks at the paybacks to the economy from industrial growth. Finally, the expansion of the income tax umbrella is considered and in particular its effects on growing a greater sense of national civic duty and its impact on the voting patterns of the electorate...
