People spoke about his piercing blue eyes and his kind, quiet manner. The owners of the local convenience store spoke about how conscientious he was.

"He never paid a penny less," said Anjana Bhowmick, owner of Bengal Liquor store

I wish we could win on this front Rashid.

I have learned to live with spam; can't fight it, better get used to it.
