Nerdy Diplomats Who Rock (Are Still Nerdy)


Twice a year the Embassy holds an Awards Ceremony to honor employees who have demonstrated extraordinary performance in their duties during the course of the previous six months. After the most recent ceremony in June, another extraordinary performance took place – namely, a concert by a band of Embassy employees. We did an organized set of seven songs, in both English and Bangla, then jammed for a while on a bunch of other tunes for another hour or so. And the name of this all-star group? Well, we struggled to come up with a good handle. The consensus favorite of the audience was “Flood, Sweat & Tears,” which, in the words of our lead guitarist, “pretty much sums up the whole Bangladesh experience.”
