This paper attempts to gain insight into the businesses of street vendors as well as their impacts on our society. A large number of people are directly and indirectly engaged with this profession and are contributing to the economy of Bangladesh. Three ideas constitute the central message of this study. Firstly, a large number of people are generating income through street vending which helps them and their families. Secondly, street vendors are a source of employment as they occupy a large part of informal sector in Dhaka city. Thirdly, street vendors offer intense services for the city dwellers within reasonable cost range. But because of street vendors, some unfavorable effects are also visible such as lack of formalization and weak management system, which create problems in urban areas by producing street garbage and gathering crowd on the footpath. By the implementation of proper public management system, street vendors would become a role model for urban dwellers of Dhaka city.

Hasan Robert Frost, the great American poet images a life that is dominated by isolation, death, and loss. The realistic vision of human life has been delineated by his frequent application of gruesome images. Frost’s poems mimic loneliness, conflicts, contradictions, and disillusionment of human life with the help of the dark images. Images such as ‘Frozen Lake’, ‘Witches’, ‘Night’, ‘War’, ‘Dark’, ‘Death’ are ardently visible in Frost’s poems that provide an emblematic perception of human life. The darker images of Frost are also prevalent through the titles of the poems like “Acquainted with Night”; “The Death of the Hired Man”; “Desert Places”. The very titles stimulate the images of the feelings of disillusionment and a general sense of isolation. This article attempts to analyze the significance of those dark images in order to uncover an intimate insight of the modern world.

"EBRD-World Bank Business Environment and Enterprise Performance Survey (BEEPS)" data set has been used in this work. The study reveals that firm’s performance is not a significant fact to influence the probability of receiving subsidy. Firm’s financial strength, connection with the government, and whether its nature of product market are the major factors determining the probability of receiving subsidy. Providing subsidy is not found to be the paternalistic attitude of the state rather state’s economic and political interest play the crucial role in decision making.
