অসংখ্য ধন্যবাদ @MahabubMunna ভাই বাংলাদেশ লোকাল গাইডস এর এই সফল দীর্ঘযাত্রার বর্ণনা সুন্দরভাবে তুলে ধরার জন্য। অনেক ভালো লেগেছে।

বাংলাদেশ লোকাল গাইডস এর সাথে আমি যুক্ত হয়েছি এক বছর আগে। ১০০ তম মিট-আপ ছিল আমার প্রথম মিটআপ।

বাংলাদেশ লোকাল গাইডস এর পুরো ইতিহাস জেনে গেলাম ভাই। খুব সুন্দর করে বিস্তারিত লিখেছেন, আর মিট আপের কথা না ই বললাম, অসাধারণ হয়েছে, আপনারা কষ্ট করে বাস্তবায়ন করছেন, @Designer_Biswajit @anazizullah @AbdusSattar @SShuvo সহ আরো যারা আছেন ভালোবাসা নেন , টি শার্টটার লোভ থেকে গেলো। তবে নেক্সট ফ্রুট আপে যতজন উপস্থিত হইতে চায় সবারই সুযোগ দেন, বিশাল উপস্থিতি বানিয়ে ফেলেন।
