Excessive use of glossy floor tiles

All the market and shop owners of Dhaka city are now on the race of placing tiles on their floors. All the expensive supermarkets already have tiles in their floors. Now even the ordinary markets mostly used by middle class people which are very much ordinary in their look and decor are also now placing tiles on floors. The main reasons are reduction of price of tiles in recent years and competition among the shop owners to attract shoppers.
There is no harm of using floor tiles. But the problem is that the owners are invariably using very much glossy floor tiles which are attractive and reflects light but dangerously slippery at the same time. Such floor tiles shouldn't be used in public places like markets. Specially where the children will go frequently, floor tiles used must not be slippery.
I regularly go to the 'Noorjahan Shopping Centre' of 'Anarkoli Super Market'. When I went there with my little boy he always enjoyed a lot since the shop has a lot of free space inside. So he enjoyed running to and fro inside the shop and even outside the shop. My experience of last visit few days ago was terrible. Now the floor of the shop is covered with glossy floor tiles. My little boy was stumbling while trying to walk and even fell down on the floor. Then I had to refrain him from walking inside the shop. I fear whether I shall enjoy shopping at 'Noorjahan Shopping Centre' like before.
This is only a case-study. But it's not a exceptional evidence. The shop and market owners are on severe competition to cover their floors with tiles (and obviously slippery & glossy tiles). May in the near future our markets will not be safe for our children.

Potato fair

On last Thursday (8th May 2008), I visited potato fair a Bangladesh China Friendship Centre. It's a good initiative to change our food habit. We are so much depended on rice. We need to diversify our foods: both for heath concern and for avoid food crisis. We are habituated of eating potato. But we eat potato as an alternate of vegetables while potato is actually an alternate of rice or wheat. Potato shouldn't be considered a alternate of vegetables. We must eat vegetables along with potato.

A lot of food varsities made of potato amazed me. I bought potato chicken roll. Everyone of my family liked it.

I hope potato will be a good substitute of rice in our country.
