Welcome to the Forum from the BBC World Service.
I'm Rajan Datta.
What you're listening to is the sound of traffic in Bangladesh.
Its capital, Dhaka is notorious for its road congestion and extremely long commuting times.
Local resident journalist Karim Wahid has long suffered what that means in practice.
So you're sitting in your car or a tuk tuk or a bus and you're pretty much stuck.
You're lucky if you're in a car and the air condition is working,
the vehicle is probably moving, I don't know, a few inches every 10 minutes or 20 minutes.
I mean, it's maddening.
And your mood at that point, it's frustration.
You really don't know when you're going to reach your destination.
If you have an important meeting,
you obviously have to leave home at least an hour or 90 minutes prior.
So, yeah, commuting in Dhaka on workday is absolutely difficult.
Literally driving him crazy.
It's not an issue that's unique to Dhaka.
Many of the world's cities experience similar traffic problems.
Manila, San Francisco, Lagos, Bogota, London, Jakarta, Anjuru, to name but a few.
Listener Amitava wrote on our Facebook page that the situation is no better in Kolkata in India either.
It takes two and a half hours to drive to the office and the same on the way back.
