Dhanmondi Lake insecure as entire Dhanmondi becomes a lake

Thanks to poor drainage systems and infrastructure, residents of the capital no longer need to visit Cox's Bazar to feel waves of water crashing at their feet. Dhanmondi has been deemed to be the third biggest sea beach in the country next to Cox's Bazar and Bashundhara RA by its residents. However, Dhanmondi Lake has expressed its misery to the media as the recent water stagnation situation across the city has transformed the entire Dhanmondi into a lake.  

"Couples no longer need me for romantic boat rides," said Dhanmondi Lake, "They're using boats to get from Satmasjid Road to Lalmatia. Kids are standing on the islands at crossroads and getting the same view as Rabindra Sarobar. Gone are the days of fuchka and panipuri dates near me! The stagnant water from manholes is unhygienic enough for them. But don't you forget, the rain's going to end in a few weeks but the heat wave and global warming is permanent."

Meanwhile, with the city turning into an ocean, tourist areas are suffering heavy financial losses as citizens are no longer interested in Cox's Bazar or Kuakata.

"Why would I want to spend thousands and go to Ratargul when I've got a swamp forest right outside my house?"

"We're never going to financially recover from this," said a hotel owner from Cox's Bazar, "Bashundhara currently has more water than the Bay of Bengal. People have littered the beaches so much that the beaches actually look like Dhaka. The aesthetics of the biggest sea beach in the world is simply equal to the dirty and water-stagnant dystopia that is Dhanmondi and Bashundhara now."

Tourists are also cancelling their tour plans to different districts as Dhaka has become the new tourist attraction. "Why would I want to spend thousands and go to Ratargul when I've got a swamp forest right outside my house?" said a tourist, crossing the Bay of Bashundhara on his way to the office, "The roads are so uneven, I have to trek my way to the office every morning. Just like itself, I don't even know what I'm stepping on. There could be a manhole right beneath my feet and I wouldn't be able to see it with water up to my waist. The thrill and anticipation make every day a new adventure."

Adventurer Tandoori Grylls reportedly cancelled his tour to Dhaka for his survival show since his team deemed the adventure in Dhaka in the rainy season to be too dangerous.

"Sure, Tandoori Grylls might've been okay eating snakes, raw organs, scorpions and larvae in the deserts of Africa but tap water is where he draws the line," said his producer. "We understand it's a survival show but we highly doubt that the people living in that city need any sort of survival tips from us. Every day is a survival show when you're living in Dhaka."
