111I1BULLE~1 «TITEN TAl», a norwegian blood Bangladeshi TED DY BEAR, recently visited some of the eastern countries with Mr. Bjørn Roar Bye, a norwegian journalist. During his tour, he dropped in to his homeland for a short while. In inquistive Bangladeshi journalist took the following interview:
r f
Journalist: How do you like Bangladesh now? Titen Tai: Omm __ _as good as before_ From now on, for the sake of simplicity, Journalist and Titen Tai will be expressed by the alphabets «J» and «TT»_ J : You have been in Norway for long time. Is n't it? TT: Yes, pretty long-time. J : What haveyou done in Norway during your stay? You must have been working in Norway , I guess. TT: Oh, no. Not at all. First, I learned norwegian language and culture for nine months. Now, I · am learning to speak. J: I think you are mak ing a mistake. Most people first learn to speak and then learn a language to express himself. Anyway , how do you like the weather here now? TT: It's too much sunny. J: How old are you? TT: Jeg vet ikke. Sorry .. I don't know really . J: How does Norway evaluate Bangladesh? TT: It's difficult to answer. They categorize Bangladesh as peace 10ving poor country. In fact, Norwegians like those countries most where there is enough snow to go in for skiing. A 100% Norwegian has almost 90% of the ski-equipments. J : But, TITEN TAl .. we have got the longest sea-beach in Asia. TT: SKIT!! What they are going to do with the 30 miles long sea-beach!! J: They are good at ice-hockey, is n't? TT: Yes, so what? J: Then, then ... I believe, all Norwegians can come to Cox's Bazar for six months and practice land-hockey in the open nature and win the international championship!!
An Intercourse Chowdhury MM. Khaleque T.T: A ha!! Not a bad ideal I should tell this to my friends. J : What will you do after getting back to Norway? TT: Ishall write one page of neat :hand-writing everyday. J: You must be crazy; One can't live on hand-writing. One must Jearn some technical skills to live in this moderne world. Oon 't .y ou see .. . don't you see Bangladeshis are dy ing becausethey don't have the technology to coPe with? TT: Oh, yes, yes, 1 see it. Through practice, 1 my develop a new writing technology, 1 beleive. J: What sort of technology do you think you can develop? . T.T: It's apparantly a technology that will advance the present world for atleast more than hundres years. Listen, that's my secret. Oon't print this right now in the newspaper. The journalist got upset with Teddy Bear's err,barrassing blab an said: Would you please honestly tell me onething?? T .T: Yes, yes, of course. J: When did you take your last drink? TT: Well, l don't normally drink besides special occasions .... J: But,.. . most norwegians drink a little every week-end, I suppose. TT: Yes, that has certain reasons . They do it because it's too cold and dark in the north during most of the time of the year. One needs to drink and warmup at week-ends to work hard for the rest of the week. That's fairly logical, I think. J: How do they like you? TT: Y ou mean foreigners? J : Yes, broadly so ... TT: Not so much, specially, those who desire to settIe in Norway. J : WHY???

TT: It is because of the old immigrants, the y are creating problems. J: How many of them are in Norway? TT: About ten thousand. J: What kind of problems are they creating? TT: Some foreigners have taken jobs and created unemployment. Also, some of them are involved in drug-smuggling. J: No, no, no, that 's too bad. Anyway, what is your future plan? TT: Well , few years back, 1 learned to count only O og l ... 1 wish to make something with it and if I succeed afterwards, 1 am going to present it to Norway. J : You must be crazy!!! After a while, J: Oear, TEDDY BEAR. I tell you the truth. Only O and l are not sufficient to make . something. TT: Yes, I know it. That 's why, I am learning to speak and describe what is zero and what is one. J: Titen Tai, I am really exhausted with your bIa-bla-bia. Are you hungry? T.T: No, no. Not at all. lt's surprising to note, you speak almost exactly the same fashion that most of my norwegian friends are used to. They say, frankly, one truth about me. «I speak too much when 1 am either hungry or my belly is full». Yes, they are very correct... There are only two probabilities of state, namely, O and l . There remains «nothing» in the belly when somone is hungry, which is equal to say, «the re is O in the belly» and when someone has food in the belly, in opposition, can be said in away, «there is l in the belly.» .... J: That.. . that sounds like compu- . ter machine language!!!!!
TT: . WHA T is THA T? I know bengali , english and norwegian language and came accross urdu, ara bie and hindi language_ What sort of language is that?? Is it a dialeet of some language? J: Roughly so. That is the latest language of the world. Everyone has to speak in that language within 20 years. TT: Thanks God, I didn't learn the norwegian language weU. Otherwise, it could have been an «extra-waste)) with other languages .. J: But, TITEN TAl, you must be a naughty boy, you went to a nine months la ngu age course and you didn't learn good norwegian. It's a pity of you _.. TT: Yes, you are right on your point of view. It's pity for those people who wants to stay in Norway and don't learn the language ... J : What do youmean? TT: 1 have been in Norway to learn further of O and ·1. When I finish my learning, I shalJ give a detail theory on «O)) and «l )). That's my purpose. J: And then? TT: And then, I shalJ ask my norwegian friends to take that theory as a gift of friendship. 1 shalJ only request my norwegian friends to make use of the theory for the purpose of «peale and Prosperity)) of the wot'ld. J : Titen Tai, you will make a mistake. Oon't blunder this way. Why don't you bring it in Bangladesh? We can do some businesaU
TT: No. Only Norway can use it in time. J : Why Norway. Why not Bangladesh? TT: Because, Bangledesh is a poor country. She wiII seil it to the enimies of the peaceful world. J: What happens to YOU then? TT: 1 shall come to you people and teach all how to learn,« l)) out of «O)). SUOOENLY, there was an interruption in the «I-I-F-S)) (Imaginary Induvidual Facsimil System). It was probably an interception by the peace-breakers. Nothing more was received.
