Humanity at the time of flood.
In my previous article I have discussed the flood conditions of Bangladesh. Condition has become worse in the last two days. Water level is rising. Houses are being sunked. Humans as well as animals are screaming for help. They want to live. Everything is under water there. Crops are already destroyed. Such an inhumane situation.
But in this time people from other areas especially from the capital, are creating examples of great humanity. So many people have gone there to help the suffering people. They are working alongside the national military forces. My today's topic is the humanity shown by the people at the time of this flood.
The flood has broken many years' records. Yesterday I read an article where I found that in the last two days the rainfall record of Meghalaya is 2500 millimeters. And the water of the rain has come to the northern part of Bangladesh through the hills. Everything is under water there. You must be crying if you see the situation there.
The Bangladesh government called the military to help the people two days ago. Military is working patriotically. People of Bangladesh will remember them forever. They are also creating examples of humanity.
The Bangladesh army is mainly working to take people in the safe shelter from the affected area. They are doing it with life risk. Battalion from Dhaka, Comilla and Sylhet are working together to tackle the worst situation. The Bangladesh army is working with boats, life jackets and aid in the situation. They are rescuing affected people with their boat. They are taking life risks. Government aid is also distributed by them now. People have lost everything now. They don't have any place to live, any food to eat. Military is taking care of these as well as so many volunteers. The Navy and coast guard are also working to overcome the situation. Even the air force is also working with their high quality helicopters so that no life can be lost.
A few days ago I posted an article about the fire accident that happened in a depot in Bangladesh. Where I showed the humanity of common people during the time of danger. It happened this time too. People are helping those helpless people by themself.
So many youngsters of Bangladesh are working on the front line. For example, five youngsters have donated 6.3 million Bangladeshi Taka in this regard. Which is really a huge amount. They are also helping people by rescuing them from the affected area by boat.
So many young volunteers went there to help people. They have started a hotline. After getting any call for help they run to the place to rescue. They are creating great examples. The Nations will remember them.
They have conquered the fear of death, I think. There are so many risks of death in this work that they are doing. Like there is a risk of snakes at the time of flood. Another one is sometimes an electric wire can be cut off and which can cause heavy shock and death. But the brave people are not afraid of that. They are real heroes.
There is a dark side too. Some people are taking advantage of the situation and getting benefits. Even some are doing criminal activities in this situation. There is some news like this, some groups of criminals are going to a house. Telling them that they have bought aid for them. But when they are opening the door then they (house owner) are seeing that they (outsiders) have come for robbery. Which is really shameful for humanity. People are dying in shortage of food and water and some people are getting advantage.
*Anyway, in of the day humans need to stand beside humans at the time of danger for the sake of humanity. Pray for my country. We are really passing the worst time.*
Floods in the northern part of Bangladesh.
In every rainy season floods come to a part of our country. It destroys the lives of people and the infrastructure. This year a sudden flood has come to the northern part of our country. This is now the hottest topic of the country. People are suffering there. They are losing their every hope. The danger of this flood is increasing with time. People are facing the worst and dangerous face of nature.
Most surprising issue for me is that it's still out of the topic of the media. National media is not covering it well. They can have some steps for making people aware about this havoc. I Don't know why they are not doing that. It can be for the lack of news reporters in these areas.
Anyway, people are suffering a lot in these areas. Whole country is watching their screen. Although mainstream media is not reporting news, social media like facebook and Twitter is becoming the place where people can find news and report news. People of these areas sharing news by social media to the people of the country and abroad.
I have also collected some news from social media. I saw some pictures and videos in this regard. People’s lives are under great threat. I am hoping that the government will make a decision quickly. The best option is to replace these suffering people to another place with the help of the military and rescue team.
95 percent of five sub districts are under water now. People are leaving their houses without taking anything with them. They are trying to save the lives of their family members only. Flood water is flowing over the tin-shed houses. First floor of every building in these areas is under water. Some volunteers are working there.
In the evening I saw on the news that the government is giving permission to the military force to save people's lives. Hoping that it will be fruitful.
***The reason behind this flood is heavy rainfall and water coming from hills.*** The place where this flood is flowing is Sylhet. Sylhet is a northeastern Division of Bangladesh. In the land boundary line there are hills of India. And in the rainy season because of heavy rainfall huge water tides fall from hills which create floods. This time it happened very Early. This is the second day of the rainy season. And it has rained all day long today. In the capital people are also facing trouble. Even in my University campus we are facing so many problems. These are the effects of climate change I think.
People are helpless there. Government has already taken steps for the affected people. Some voluntary organizations also started working. Students are also working. We are not sitting idly. We have already made a decision. A group of students at my University campus has decided to donate for the suffering people and collect donations from people and send these help to the affected people. Many of my friends have joined this voluntary programme. We have planned that we will start working from today.
Almost every year our country is facing this natural disaster. Cyclone, floods are regular in the country like ours. This is undoubtedly the effect of climate change. World should care about climate change. Otherwise it will destroy our earth. Today third world Nations are facing problems mostly but one day it will spill over to the whole earth and then nobody can escape. So, still we have time. We need to obey the decision of climate scientists. Climate change is a global problem and it needs a global attempt to solve it.
The flood in Sylhet is becoming more dangerous every hour. It is spreading to other districts. Crops are also being destroyed. What I have already said is that people are leaving their house only with their life. It proves the dangerousness of the flood. So keep praying for the people of the region.
This is a screenshot taken from social media. This pictures shows how ferocious this flood is.
That's all I want to say. Thanks for reading my article.
Anyway I want to thank @Talecharm for renewing the sponsorship.
Rural life and urban life…
There are lots of people who love to live their life in cities. On the other hand there is another group of people who love to live their life in villages. Everyone has their own choices in life. We respect others' choices. Sometimes others logic behind choice influences us. That is the diversity of human opinion.
*Anyway I am inspired by* @Olasquare *and writing this article.* You can read his recent article where he discussed some paradoxes like this. ***I am not giving any opinion about what is better Between city life and rural life. I will just discuss what are the facilities of these two from my point of view. So, Let's start…***
First I want to tell you my experience. From my childhood to my adulthood I lived in a village. I was 16 when I came to the city for the first time. But that was not for living purposes. I shifted to the city when I was 18. And now I am 23. I have spent almost 4 years in the city. At the time of the pandemic I was in my village. When I shifted to the city I was so curious about urban life. Almost one year my curiosity lasted. I visited the beautiful infrastructure and great places of the city in my first year. But now I do not have that curiosity. Nowadays I spend my time within my campus.
In these four year i learned a lot about urban life. After coming from the village I have realised how beautiful village life is! Now I believe that humans sometimes realize the importance of certain things after leaving this. It happened to me also. When I was in my village I didn't realise the beauty of village weather and culture. But after coming to the city I can understand these well. Now when I go home, I try to explore everything about the village.
**Benefits of city life…**
First of all I want to discuss the benefits of city life. If you think materialistically then you can find out a lot of benefits about city life. Like here you can absorb every modern opportunity. Any kind of update invention comes first to the people of the city. Even it can be said that city people enjoy the maximum benefits of modern technology. City life is modern life in another word.
Every industry is also city based. It is because equipment can move easily in the city. So the people who are engaged with industries need to live in the city.
**Top universities are also city based.** I am a University student. And due to my study purpose I need to stay in the city. So it can be said that if you want to absorb a better study then you need to stay in the city. Although it can vary from country to country. But in my country the best and prestigious schools, colleges and universities are city based.
In our country the best medical care is also city based. If anybody wants to take the best medicare then he needs to come to the city. If you live in the village and face any big medical problem then you will have to come to the city for the best medicare.
*These are the benefits of city life. These things can attract anybody to live in the city. But there are some demerits too.*
***Demerits of city life.***
There are a few demerits of city life too. I haven’t researched it well. If I did that then I think I could have shown some more.
*People are selfish in the city.* Here people do not care about others' lives. In our city people have come from different different places and they all are trying to build up their career. Almost everyone is busy with their own life.
*The weather in cities is not healthy.* Cities are so densely populated. The proper proportion of trees is not maintained here. Even there are very few trees. Everyone is using their land, building modern infrastructure.
The city's weather is the worst. In our country winter lasts three month in the villages but one month in the capital city. In summer it is almost ineligible for living because of too much hot temperature. Life becomes hell in these days of summer.
***Benefits of rural life.***
Firstly, I want to say that the benefits of rural life are not materialistic. This is something about feelings and love about a village.
***Village weather is like heaven.*** The most important thing you will get in a rural life is the weather. It is always beautiful. Rural weather is eligible to keep a man healthy.
*Relations among people in rural life are always beautiful.* People always help each other in their bad times. Actually village people live their life mutually. They know each other and they have a strong brotherhood.
In rural areas people live near to the soul. Actually they have so few beneficiaries but they have loves, brotherhood.
**Demerits of rural life.**
Rural life has so many demerits. Firstly, rural life is somewhat out of modern technology. Although in recent times rural life also developed. But it is true that village life is less modern than city life.
Secondly, village life has a shortage of medicare. I have already discussed these in the above. The merits of city life can be said as the demerits of rural life.
I think I haven't portrayed the merits and demerits of rural life very well. I think I have to research it well. I will write about it once more.
I haven’t put my own opinion here. I just tried to put the merits and demerits of city and rural life. It was my personal observation just. Thank for reading my article.
Time management in my everyday life.
My friend @Lucifer01 mentioned me in his article and asked me to write an article about time management. I realise that it is a good initiative. If we can read our friends' tactics about time management. Then we can take something from their tactics and Apply these in our own life. Everyone has some unique and beautiful ideas in their own life. So, in this article I will explain how I manage my time everyday. Let's start….
I am not so good at time management. I have a lot of things to learn from you guys. Because I always go with my mind. Routine is not for me i think. In my opinion life is not something to be overly serious about. And also it is not to be less serious. Balancing is the best process to be happy in our life. Above all I also maintain certain things in my life. Although it varies. During the holidays I maintain another routine. Here I will discuss how I manage time except holidays.
I always wake up before 9 am in the morning. I know I am not an early riser. I also go to sleep late. After waking up I take my breakfast from the varsity canteen in maximum time. And often in my room with the food made by me. Then I used to go to my classroom. When I finish all my classes then it is almost afternoon. I take my lunch from the canteen if it becomes afternoon. But if there are a few classes and it finishes before noon then I cook my lunch. Recently, I usually cook my lunch. Because after finishing my second year final I am under a little bit less pressure. So I am using my time perfectly and learning how to cook everyday. Although I am already a good cook.
After finishing my lunch I usually read books. Not my academic books. I have a great interest in literature and history. So I used to read literature and history. After two hours of reading I took a nap. Nao is no longer than 1.5 hours. This nap is too energetic. It gives me energy to remain active till late night.
After this nap I usually go to the roof and spend my evening there. When the sun sets and the whole west sky becomes colourful, my eyes fill with enjoyment.
After spending a few times there I come to my room and go outside with friends after being ready.
From the evening to almost 9-11 pm we gossip, walk and have chills with friends. Sometimes we sit in a tea stall. Sometimes on central field and sometimes in the cafeteria. You know what this is the best life we are living now. We make hundreds of memories regularly. Sometimes we sing, sometimes we laugh. Life is passing through these types of amazing times.
After having a lot of fun I came back to my room and had my dinner. I make my food hot and then eat. As I am staying far from my family I need to do everything by myself.
After having dinner I usually go to the reading room. And this time I mainly read my academic books. I believe that regularity is the key to be successful. So I maintain it. I am very much focused on my studies. And regularly I go to the reading room at night..
One of my bad habits is that I sleep late. I Spend three to four hours in the reading room and come to sleep late at night. I feel comfortable studying late at night.
After finishing my study I went to sleep. As i went to sleep late, I always wake up late except in some exceptional cases.
But during the holiday, I do not follow this routine. On the weekend I usually wash my clothes and clean my room. Give more time in the reading room at night and wake up more late.
This is my regular life routine. I know i Don't manage time perfectly. But as a student this is good i think. Routine varies from profession to profession. How a student manage time is not appropriate for a employee or businessman.
I am suggesting my readers to write about your time management. Specially to @Talecharm @Jelena @Kelzy @Tahira @Olasquare At least keep time management in your tittle. Thanks for reading my article.
Care for mental health.
In our regular life we need to do something for our own satisfaction. Things that give us satisfaction are necessary for our mental happiness. Mental peace comes from mental happiness and satisfaction. Man who is mentally healthy and happy can live a happy and healthy life. Our physical health is dependent on our mental health in a great portion. So we can understand how much important our mental health is! Do we really take care of our mental health? If not please be attentive on it.
Hey guys, this is Zahid and i am here with a new topic. It is about our mental health. I know my knowledge is not massive but i can say something from my own life. What i follow in my regular life and how i have benefited from it. Let's start.
I am going to start with what i have done today for my mental health. I have done two task what i like most. And things that we like most give us satisfaction. At first i Have cooked my lunch and dinner and secondly i have read an interesting books about my favorite poet.
Poem gives me more pleasure than any regular task. I saw people who take life so seriously. I can't understand why. Nothing happens before time. I am not arguing that we need not think about the future. But I am telling you to never waste your present by thinking about your uncertain future. It is happening around us regularly. People are obsessed with Their future and in this way they lost two. Their future as well as their present. Do what your heart tells you to do. Then you will find out that everything is going well.
Are you really happy with what you are doing for your future? Happiness really matters in life. Never leave your comfort zone. It is important for our life. I saw people running after money. I think everyone encounters these types of people. I believe that financial freedom is important in our life. When we become free financially then we can enjoy life perfectly. But there are people who are running after money even when they have huge capital in their hand. They have huge capital but they are joining the rat race. They are running after money more and more. Even the richest one can't have enough time to rest. Their life is not a happy life. Everything has limitations.
Happiness doesn’t lie in only great achievement. A little achievement or a little task can make you happy from the heart. Don't stop thinking about your future. Think about your goal. But don't make them your destinations. Keep them in your process. Understand oneself, understand the present then you will see a good future.
Our mental happiness is the mother of all happiness. This is the actual source.
Let's assume that one person is physically sick. He is getting medicine. But he Doesn't want to get well. If his mind doesn’t want to get well then the medicine can't do anything. This shows how important our mental health is!
One more thing is that only you can make you mentally happy. If you can understand yourself then nothing can make you depressed. People who don't think about oneself and never try to understand oneself cannot be happy in their life in maximum time.
Three different things satisfied me most. These are travelling, books and music. Whenever I feel uncomfortable or disturbed I do one among these three. When I become depressed I listen to music and it makes me satisfied. I made these choices. You can also set your choices. It is your own life then the choice need to be only yours.
In modern times we often see people living fake lives. Fake life means they are in a rat race. Unhealthy competition is ruling the society. Unhealthy competition is like people are doing then i have to do. Otherwise I will fall behind. They Don't think about their choice. Rather they choose about the trend. About style and fashion. These are not good for our mental health.
*These all are my personal opinions. You can disagree with me respectively. Thanks for reading my article.*
Film festival in my campus.
A film festival is running on my University campus. It is organised by the students of three organisations. This is not only a film festival alone. It is a workshop too. It will continue for three days. So many actors and actresses are coming to teach those who have interest in movies and acting.
My University campus is regarded as the cultural capital of Bangladesh. There are almost 126 different cultural and academic organisations still here. Some are totally academic, some are about acting like Jahangirnagar University theatre, some are about music, about photography, about humanity. Students are learning so many things besides their academic study. Everyone has freedom for choosing his own path.
It was the first day of the film festival. We watched the second movie of the first day. We mean me and some of my friends. I was not prepared for today. I planned to watch it on the second day. But in the evening my friend called me and tell me we will watch a movie today. Come out of the room as soon as possible. I was sleeping then. But I had to go otherwise she would be angry.
In the second show we watched a movie which name is Olatchakra. It is a movie based on a novel written by one of my favorite writers and thinker Ahmed Chofa. It was a famous novel. And very recently this movie has been made based on this great novel.
Now I will tell you a short description of the movie. Simply this movie has portrayed the life of refugees. To understand the main story you need to know about the independence war of Bangladesh in 1971. When war broke out, people are being killed by military and women are being raped. Then they fled from the country and took shelter in India. Almost 10 million people became refugees at that time. The Indian government has helped them with food and shelter. This was the background history of the main story of this movie.
The life of these refugees were not at a Standard point at all. Everywhere in the world refugees have a miserable life. Those who became refugees at the time of war have had miserable lives too. At that time so many writers and intelligentsias also fled from the country and lived their life as refugees in India. The writer of this movie/novel was one of them. He saw the problems faced by the refugees. They have food shortages, they do not have enough medical support. And this was normal. If 10 million people get into a country suddenly then every system will be broken for a period.
But our people were not cowards. They have fought for the country within these suffering. Our soldiers did not have enough resources but they had patriotism. They had love for their motherland. They had emotions. Fighters fought with their life and after a nine months war of blood shedding we got a free and independent country. We are proud of those people.
In this movie we can see two important things. One is patriotism and another is emotional. I have already talked about patriotism in the above. The emotional sector was like a patient was admitted in the hospital from the beginning. She was a patient of serious disease and she had a small chance to survive. The patient loves a writer Who is the hero of this movie. And based on this emotional scene and patriotic scene this movie runs ahead. I Don't want to tell you the full story. That will be a spoiler. I just told what I understand from it.
One thing which got my attention in this movie was that, when people are in frustration and the Don't have any hope. Some people are trying to keep them happy with songs and dramas. They arranged stage drama for the refugee people. It was a great initiative. Music can really heal. Ultimately art can heal people's minds, I believe. This group had also inspired young people to go to war. Ultimately this movie has portrayed the suffering of people at the time of war.
Lastly, one thing I want to add is that I have watched a movie in 3D for the first time. This film festival and workshop is all arranged. When we entered the Auditorium some volunteers gave us a 3D glass and told us we need to wear it when the movie starts. It was a good experience though. It was like everything was happening in front of me.
After finishing the movie we took some pictures. There was a rickshaw in front of the door which was nicely organised. We took some pictures there. The film festival will continue for two day more.there is some nice movie shows ahead. We decided that we will watch another famous movie tomorrow…

My first month journey on this platform.
It was May 8th when I started my journey on this platform. I have learned lots of things in this time. Something about life and something about this beautiful platform. I think my writing skill is developing day by day. And if i can continue here then i believe one day it will be good enough. Let me tell the story of this journey in short.
For the last two day I have been sick and that is why I can't write any articles here. Although I set my goal that I will write one article everyday this month. But there's a plan above our plan. That is the best plan. Anyway I am feeling better now. Hoping that i will get well soon.
In this one month I wrote 26 articles in total. It is not a little for me. At the beginning I was thinking about whether I could write or not. But after one month I am confident about myself. I can go a long way on this platform.
Let me tell you the story of joining here. I was finding an income source from a long day. But I can't. Noisecash was my only source but it was not giving me a good amount. One day I opened readcash. As i have seen so many posts about it on nosiecas. There is a big Chamber about it, namely as readcash community.
But after joining here I became disappointed. As i was a Newbie and i had no adviser. At that time Talecharm helped me a lot. She told me how to work. I am really thankful for this. Since then I have been writing here. Even talecharm is one of my sponsors here. She is still supporting me now.
I got help from Kelzy too. She also gave me advice. And most importantly she is my first sponsor here. It was a lot for me.
Third name I want to take ia @luchifer. We belong to the same country, Bangladesh. He is my senior. We know each other from this platform and now we sometimes chat on Twitter. Once I asked for some advice from him. He told me to pay attention to your writing. Make sure whether the bot is visiting your post or not. I am always with you buddy. The way he talked to me helped me a lot. Like a senior brother he has supported me since then. It is a lot for me. He is also a sponsor of mine.
The green bot made its first visit in my sixth article. I have written the first five articles but the bot didn’t visit. I had posted my sixth article at night and in the morning I had class. After finishing my class I visited my account. Suddenly I was surprised. I expressed my happiness with sound. My friends told me what happened. I explained the matter to them. From them the bot has visited my maximum article but not all those articles I have posted.
Now coming to the point of earning. Financial interest is the biggest interest of human beings. I also need money and I choose this platform. There is a reason to choose it. I want to learn how to write. And I think this platform can improve my English skill. I am learning regularly. I have seen that many of my friends are living their life on the earnings they earn from this platform. I hope one day I will see myself in such a position like them. And for that i am trying hard and working hard..
In one month I have earned 26 dollars. I know it is not a big amount but i am satisfied with it as a beginner. I used 26 dollars to buy books. Two days ago I bought books. And on that day I was soaked in rain and it made me sick. Anyway I am hoping that next month I will do better.
End of the day I want to say that I want to walk a long way with readcash. It is a lovely platform. Whenever I read any article I can know something about another, I mean foreign culture and thinking. Different different ways of thinking live together here…
That's all happened to me in my first month journey here. Thanks for reading my article. And write your advice or any query in the comment section.
The recent fire accident in Bangladesh
Two days ago a massive fire accident occurred in our country. The whole country is now in deep shock. 49 people have died and are still counting. Almost five hundred people are injured. This havoc makes people shocked. It has shown us our shortcomings. 60 hours have passed but still now the fire Isn't completely stopped.
Fire enlightens us. Sometimes this fire makes us burn. It has both sides. Good and bad. When it is good it makes our life easy. But when it is bad it makes our life hell. Just imagine that 49 people have died and are still counting. They have burned to death. How uncertain life is! They all have family and most of them are labour who belong to poor families.
This conflagration happened in a shipping depot in Sitakundu, Chittagong, Bangladesh. There was a huge amount of chemicals preserved in that depot. Still now we don't know the actual reason behind this conflagration. Even still the fire has not totally stopped.
This accident happened in the middle of the night. And you guys know how dangerous fire becomes when there is chemical. Fire spread so quickly and it became dangerous suddenly. They called the fire rescue team. But it was more dangerous than their ability.
Bangladesh is a less developed country. We are improving our conditions. Our fire rescue team does not have sophisticated equipment in hand. But they are our heroes. They fought for humanity. But the saddest news was that 12 members of the fire rescue team had died. It was shocking news for us. They are fighters. They were at a standstill in their duties. They gave their life in the service of the country.
Some media claiming that there was misinformation which is the cause for the death of rescue team members. Government has already talked about this. Hoping that they will investigate it very well.
Now I want to share with you something about humanity that we have seen in this event. I can't share you with pictures because I was not on the site and Facebook’s picture is not allowed here i think…
***Voluntary services of mass people..***
After occurring this massive incident, people of that area have played a humanitarian role. They did what was needed at that time. They support people with which they can. Mass people have played the role of a volunteer. They helped the rescue team as much as possible. They helped to move the dead bodies. They helped those who were injured. They took injured people to the hospital.
**Some humanitarian jobs people have done in that area are…**
***Blood donation:***
Celebrities of our country shared a post on social media that a massive fire accident occurred in Chittagong. Immediately there will be a need for huge blood for different blood groups. People of the area responded to these calls and they donated huge blood. Almost five hundred people were injured but there was no shortage of blood. Huge donors have donated their blood. I think this is the best example of humanity.
***Free medicine.***
Many farmacy owners have helped the injured with free medicine. Even many people helped them with money for medicine. There was a huge line for free medicine. The line was for people who want to help people with free medicine. They stood with placards. In these placards they wrote that if anybody needs any medicine please come to me. I have never seen such kind of humanity in my life.
**Free transportations.**
People who are engaged with transportation have helped needy people with free transportation. There were middle class people who drive normal taxis. But they did a great job. They are not rich but they are rich hearted. There were five hundred injured people. It was impossible to manage an ambulance for every injured person. Those middle class taxi drivers helped them. Even they helped the relatives of those injured people.
This incident has taught us so many lessons. First of all our rescue team needs more sophisticated equipment for fire service. Secondly, we need to make rules and laws for chemical preservation. Thirdly, humanity is the best virtue. Helping needy people at the time of danger can decrease the mist havoc consequence.
It is not the first time Bangladesh experiencing this type of havoc. This is a heavily densely populated country. And because of this dense population when fire accidents occur it becomes dangerous.
End of the day I want to say pray for those people who have lost their family members and pray for those who are injured. Thanks for reading my article.
A Lie needs more lies to survive
Truthfulness is one of the best virtues of the world. But very few people are hundred percent truthful in this world. Almost all of us tell lies in our regular life. But sometimes we tell lies and to stand up on that we tell lies more. Which makes our life hell. If anybody says he never lies to anybody then there is a possibility that this sentence is a lie. We all tell small small lies in our life. But in a crucial moment or on a matter of crucial things we need to be solid unless we will lose our personality as well as our respect to others.
I am not claiming that it is not possible to live on the truth. It is very much possible but the harsh reality tells us that very few people can do that. But those who can do that are respected everywhere. Telling the truth saves us from every problem. It can cause some problems in the immediate times but it will have better consequences in the long run. I always try to live on the truth in my regular life. But I can't claim that I never lied to anybody. Sometimes situations compel us to tell lies. But at the same time it should be remembered that when a loes causes problems or hampers others then the loar is a criminal. So be careful about what you are saying. Be careful about the consequences of your work. Be careful about the consequences of the words that are coming from you.
We can make an example here. Suppose Mr. X is a respectful man. He had once lied to a situation. But after that he had faced another problem for the lies he told. And at that point he needs to tell another lie. And this process continues. He needed to make a wall by lying. Lie over lie and go on. Now he feels like he is living in hell. He always lives in fear.
A liar can never be respected anywhere. In our society trust is a great thing. If anybody loses it then he loses happiness. Society is tied to trust. When a person tells lies again and again he becomes detached from society.
Truth never buried. It will rise and when it rises every lie will be evacuated. Only truth has the capability to rule.
I read a book written by Frederic Nietzsche. In that book he says something like this, I am not afraid that you have lied to me. I am afraid because I can't believe you from nwo. It is true. When you lie to anybody and he can understand that then what happens? Then trust does not remain anymore. Scepticism prevails in the relationship .
**Relationships over lies never last a long.**
A healthy relationship stands on trust mainly. When two person live together as life partners then the thing that is most important for them is trust. If there is no trust then it will never be long-lasting.
A liar always needs to remember what he has told before. Because what he has told is not actual and when it is not actual he needs to keep it in mind for the next time. But when a man tells the truth then he doesn’t need to remember anything. Because he will tell the truth. if he has been questioned thousands of times he will tell the truth and every time he will tell the same things. This is the benefit of truthfulness.
***Lying with oneself…***
Never do it. Never lie to yourself. It will just destroy you from inside. What happens when a person lies to himself. Human mind has two sectors, the absent mind is one of them. When a person lies to oneself at one point, the absent mind takes it seriously and it works negatively. Another outcome of lying to oneself is, it makes everything vague. It is like the person who lies to oneself can't distinguish what is true and what is not. Because lies make him blind.
So be honest and truthful in every aspect of life. You will definitely be rewarded. Thanks for investing your time and reading my article.
Be kind, Be helpful.
Today I saw a Video and after watching it I planned to write an article on this topic. We are human beings. The best creation of Almighty God. But sometimes human beings among us behave like animals. Even worse than an animal. This happens just because of the lack of humanity, education and kindness. But what should we actually do? What can make our world better? What is needed to have a happy and prosperous society? Have we ever thought about these questions? If we do then it is good. If more than half of the world's people can think about these questions then our world will sort out the answer. The method to make a peaceful world.
Now I will explain The Video that inspired me to write about this topic. In that video a man took two lighters (gas lighters). He assumed these lighter as human beings. Then he fired these two. These were fired very well. Then the man took a glass and put one lighter in the glass. Then he filled the glass with water and after a few seconds he took out the lighter from the glass. Then he tried to fire that lighter. But it didn’t work. worked because when he put it under water it loses its accuracy. But the other one that remained on the table was fine. Then the man fired the other one and then touched it with the wet one. He touched it from where the gas exposes after tapping on the switch. The wet one works then also.
This story tells us so many things. Every human being has their unique power and capabilities. But sometimes we fall in danger or we fall into bad situations. At that time we need help. We hope someone will come to help. We really desire a helping hand. But very few times we can have any helping hand. Most of the time we see that people are busy with their own life and they have no intention to look at the people who are suffering. A little help can make a person's life beautiful. Like the wet lighter the person can be lightened again with a little help.
Have you ever donated blood? Have you ever helped any suffering people? If you do then you know how it feels after doing these finest jobs of the world. A little help which can be very little for you but that can be massive for one who is suffering now. If we behave humanely then a lot of people can find the pillar to save their life.
***What can make our world more peaceful?*** Today we know how devastating a war is. People are dying. They are becoming refugees to another country. What is the reason behind these bloody wars? War can never be justified. Never and never. If we think about humanity then people's lives will be important for us. Whether it's our citizens or not, every life is important. When humans think like this way war will not happen.
We can make a more peaceful world by promoting humanity and kindness. Humanity will provide us happiness. But it is somewhat like utopian thinking. Selfishness of world leaders makes it impossible. One thing I believe is that nationalism and globalisation can not go in the same way. Modern age is the age of globalization. So our problem is also global. If we try to make a solution from the national level it will not work out. We need to make decisions globally. Like the idea of a global village.
In our country 90 percent of capitals are in the hands of 10 percent of rich people. If these capital decentralised in the society then the society will be peaceful. There will be no poverty, no hunger. People are dying from hunger from lack of Medicare. They are helpless.
Think about the people of African Nations. They have no food to eat, no clothes to wear. There are people who can't even think about education. Lack of Medicare causes deaths of people and children. If humanity reveals itself in society, if the richest countries help them as human beings, they can survive. Although Africa gets 36 percent of United Nations system expenditure, that is not enough.
We need to be careful of our needy neighbours. We need to be careful while we are walking on a road. Be helpful, be kind and you will be praised. In this world you will get praised for every work you do. If you do good then good things will happen with you but if you do anything bad keep in mind that nature is the best revenge taker. It will never let you go.
Kindness will make you happy in your personal life. We live in this world from a certain period of time. After that we have to go. And in that journey we can't take any property we have. We can only take our good works with us. We can take the prayers of people. And to win the hearts of people, be kind. If you help anyone then the person will remind you until death. The person will pray for you. I believe that it is better to be loved than hatred. We need to decide what is better, whether to stay fine alone or stay fine with lots of people together. For me it is better to be fine after being kind. There is peace in it.

A Food Trip
Every nation has a different and unique food culture. Likewise we have a rich food culture of our own. Whenever I feel for a different taste of food I used to go to Old Dhaka. Old Dhaka is a part of the capital of Bangladesh and it is regarded as the heaven of Bengali food. A few days ago I went there and I visited one part of it. If you ever come to my country please take a visit to Old Dhaka. It will make you thrilled.
***Before telling you about my food trip I think I need to discuss the culture and food habits of Old Dhaka.***
Old Dhaka is the busiest city of our capital. It is located on the southern part of the capital. Actually our capital city, Dhaka, is a very messy city. It is messy because too many people live here with a high density. And the density of Old Dhaka is more. Roads are narrow and filled with too many vehicles that it is hard to walk.
Dhaka city is often calls as the city of rickshaw. Although Rickshaw is a japanese word. But i think Dhaka city is using it most.
But the people of Old Dhaka who have been living here for many years live a luxurious life. There's so many factories there in old Dhaka and everyone led their lives with business. Generally the real residents of Old Dhaka are too rich and culturally conscious.
If the immigrants are being removed from Old Dhaka then it will be three times less busy than what is now. Immigrants mean people who are now living here and came here from another part of the country. Basically the rural people come to the city for a better life. And these people are making this city more densely populated.
**The eating habits of the people of Old Dhaka are very different.** They basically like to eat ***kacchi Biryani*** in their everyday meals. There are even some people who eat kacchi two or three times a day. They are not healthy at all. People are obsessive there.
Now I think I need to tell you what kacchi Biryani is actually. Kacchi Biryani is one kind of delicious, spicy food which contains high protein and high calories. Kacchi Biryani is cooked with Rice, Beef and so many spices. These spices are the life of kacchi. Kacchi can be cooked with mutton as there are people who never eat beef. If people eat kacchi regularly then there is a possibility of becoming fat.
As there's a great demand for kacchi in that area there are so many well known hotels. Among them, hazi and nanna are the most popular. People from all over the capital go there for the taste of this great food. And I also love it most, that's why I often go there to taste kacchi. Now I will tell you about my last food trip there.
One day my uncle told me that there is a hotel near Tara mosque which is very tasty. He told me to taste it. I wasn’t busy at that time. And I called my friend who lives in Old Dhaka. I told him I was coming. Be ready, we have to walk a lot. Next morning I went there by bus. I met my friend and started our journey to find the hotel. I said earlier that the roads are too narrow and it faces heavy traffic jams. We reached Tara Mosque with the help of Google Map. But we can't find the hotel. Then we hired a rickshaw. We followed the directions given by my uncle but we didn’t find the hotel. We found it out almost thirty minutes later.
We entered the hotel and ordered two Kacchi Biryani. After five minutes the waiter served us the Biryani. We took a picture and started to enjoy the meal. Its smell was mind blowing. And its taste was top rated for me. I will give a 9/10 rating to that Biryani.
After finishing Biryani we ordered one special item from this hotel. That is pudding. Pudding is a dish made with milk and sweets. I love sweets and milk both. So I enjoyed it very much.
Then we left the shop. Started walking on the busy road. We went to Sadarghat. Spent some time there over the lovely Buriganga. Buriganga is the river which divides the capital.
Anyway after spending a few moments there we went out for our next target. There is a small shop in Old Dhaka named beauty lacchi and faluda. I love it most. Whenever I went to Old Dhaka I visited that shop. I like their faluda most. We ate faluda and finished our food trip for the day.
I would like to mention a quote from my favorite political thinker in our country Prof Abdur Razzaq Sir. He quoted, if you want to explore the cultural heritage of a certain society then you need to observe the food culture of that region. I love to explore the food culture of my country and also the countries of South Asia.

A good start and its Importance.
There's a common saying that 'all is well when the end is well'. But I think a good start is important for a good end. Not claiming that it is must needed. But a good start affect on the end. So a fresh start is important for our journey. But at the same time we need to remember that it is not good for YOUR journey if you delay it for a good start.
I know I am going to discuss a very difficult topic. It is hard to put your opinion on a topic which has so many opinions. I am not scared anymore. I think I will learn something from it or will give people a tropic of thinking. So Let's start…
A fresh morning determines the day. If you are an early riser then you know it better. Those people who rise early and enjoy the morning weather can pass the day better than those who rise late. A freshness remains all day long if you can enjoy the fresh morning air. And laziness remains for a person who rises late.
It defines how necessary a good start is. Not only a good start but also a timely start. And for me a timely start is a good start.
Now what do you mean by a timely start? What is the high time to start anything? I think this is the high time where you are belonging now. This moment is the time you can have the best start. If you think you will start it from a certain date then it will be missed.
Let me tell you a real story. When I was in school and College I used to think that I would start my study from next Sunday or the 1st day of next month. But on that promised day I used to make another promise. Time passes. Time and tide never waits. If we can't start timely, time will not wait for us. Late means lack behind. So start on time and do the best you can then you will get the fruits of it.
When I started writing on this platform in the previous month I faced some issues. It was like I was a little bit nervous about my starting article. Then I thought about what would happen. I will learn everything gradually by writing. I could have made a mistake. But now I am improving gradually. In fact it is helping my English writing as I am not a native english speaker.
This is my point here. We need to start and by trying we can improve. We sometimes think that without planning we can't start. I pretty much agree with it. But when we take too much time in planning it becomes worse for us. Planning is good but planning with action is best. So we need to plan with action. It means we can plan after starting.
Start where you are, use what you have and do what you can. This can be our slogan. Don't think so much. You don’t need to have a great start if that great start takes a long time. Instead you may start where you are now and by using what you have you can make a great result. That's important. Be on time otherwise time will pass and you will lack behind.
Road was too much wet after rian. It was so difficult to walk on this road.
I can share a story of mine. Once me and my two friends went on a tour. On the first day we hiked on a hill and on the second day we planned for a waterfall. But on the morning of the second day, rain started. Our plans were going to die. But suddenly we changed our plan and decided to start whether it is raining or not. We came out while it was raining outside. At first we felt a little bit uncomfortable. We were sweat in the rain. We trek on the wet road. It was difficult to trek on a wet road but we enjoyed it. Although the road was not so tough. After hiking a few minutes we saw beautiful views of the hill. You can't imagine how beautiful hills become while raining if you do not see it. When we came back after visiting the waterfall we just became satisfied. It was a great journey. We encountered thousands times better views as it was raining. But if we didn’t come out of the room then we would have missed it.
View after having so much difficulty. The hill became more green after rain.
All i have said, i just indicated one thing and that is don’t wait for the right time. The actual time is where you are now. Don't wait for the well equipment to start. What you have is sufficient if you have wish and desire. On the other hand we need to remember that only a good start is not sufficient for good consequences. We need to work accordingly to achieve something great.

A beautiful morning at my campus.
Article No — 19
31 may 2022
If anybody wants to refresh his mind then he needs to feel the morning weather according to my opinion. I am not usually an early riser but I really love the morning weather. Today I woke up very early in the morning. Before sunrise I walked almost three kilometres to my campus. I will discuss my campus and the morning beauty of my campus. So Let's start.
My University campus is called the most beautiful university campus in our country. There are almost 50 public universities in our country. But my university is one of the most prestigious. It is full of natural beauties. Everywhere you will see trees and within these trees there are red buildings. But these buildings are not so tall. And this made it more beautiful.
Our University campus area is 700 acres which is the third largest University campus in our country. 700 acres is huge. A man can't visit it fully in one day. The most beautiful sight in our Campus is that there are so many natural lakes in our campus. And these lakes always conceive beautiful red water Lily.
Now I am coming to my today's morning walk. I have mentioned earlier that I am non an early riser. My best friend told me yesterday evening that we will rise early tomorrow and will walk in the morning. But as usual, I went to sleep very late last night. At the very Early hour of morning she called me. I just received it but still then i was sleeping. Lol haha. I looked outside and saw that it was half morning half night. But as i have promised, I went out.
I was feeling a little bit sleepy but after coming outside and seeing the beautiful weather of the morning I felt fresh. Wind was blowing slowly. My heart was becoming cool. It wad feeling like i am a place where everything is so live.
This is the first picture i have captured today's morning. Look at the weather. It is freash and energetic. Green nature will tell you thousands of stories. These age old trees are standing here from 30-50 years. They have seen so many generation coming and going.
Green and dark meets together here. It is looking like a heavy jungle. People of our country often mention our campus as a jungle. There are lots of trees here. These trees are very beneficial for the environment of our area. As there are a lots of trees here, we feel comfortable in every season. In summer we do not feel too much uncomfortable as there is so many trees here.
There are so many lakes in our campus and these lakes are natural. This is one of them. It is the biggest one. We call it the rangpukur. At the morning when this lakes are covered with dew then it becomes heavenly beautiful. And the red water lily will give you a great view.
This is the lake of lotus. You can see so many lotus leaves in it. And there is a artificial lotus in the middle of this lake. It is one of the Most beautiful places of the campus. A few days ago the whole lake was filled with lotus. There are some bench for sitting beside this beautiful lake. I cmae here often and spend some beautiful times.
A little flower on the bricks. I become surprise when i see flowers on the rock. Although this is a little flower, it is so colourful.
As our campus is so big and there is lots of trees here. There are so many fruits available here. Like jackfruits, mango, abd etc. While walking at the morning we saw a tree with lots of jackfruit. For your kind information this is the time of jackfruit here.
Although i can't climb on tree well, i tried and hardly could have collect some jackfruits. You can see it here. I am walking with two jackfruits in my both hand. We need to wait three to five days and within this time these jackfruits will be ready to eat.
Anyway i just wnat to show you the diversity of our campus. After coming from my village i am satisfied because it is also like a village. Weather is calm and free from pollution like a village weather. I am happy with it.

Extrovert, Introvert Or Ambiversion?
**All people are introverts or extroverts. Otherwise they are in the middle point of these two. Every group has some unique characteristics. To be specific these characteristics define which group you belong to. Although these characteristics are by born, a man can change it by his effort**. **Now in this article we will discuss what are the characteristics of these groups, what are the problems of these groups and which is the best one.**
Nothing is perfect in this world. No person is perfect also. And it can be said that no characteristic is perfect also. So the characteristics of an introvert and an extrovert person are not perfect. But when they maintain a balance between these two it becomes suitable. I am not claiming that the balanced one will be perfect but the balanced one will be the most suitable one.
Now let's know about these three.
**Introvert.**
Introverted people keep everything within them. They don't usually share their thoughts with others. Suppose a person, an introvert person, is in depression but he will not share it with anyone. The depression will make him down but he will not share it. This is the sole characteristic of an introvert person. They will die with their own Secret or with their talks but they will never share it with others.
Introverted people can't make friends with others easily. They always need time. They are not a companionable type. As they speak very little, others are not attracted to them.
**Problems with the characteristics of an introverted person.**
When we feel depressed about something that happened in our life we used to share it with our friends and family. They try to help us and support us. After-all when we share with others our depression reduces. We feel weightless. Weightless because depression has a weight. But what happens to an introvert person? An introvert person keeps Everything within himself and doesn’t share it with anybody. At a time the weight of the depression becomes unbearable. And it has catastrophic consequences. It can kill a person.
Another problem is that an introverted person can become lonely in his life. As he speaks less and is not friendly and can't express his emotions exactly, he has limited people in his life which can make him alone anytime.
**Extrovert.**
Extroverted people are those who always express their emotions easily. They are very friendly and companionable. They can easily make friends. They speak a lot. They never keep anything inside them. At the first view a person can assume that it is better to be an extrovert than an introvert. But there are some shortcomings of an extrovert person too.
*People often disrespect an extrovert person.* It is because of their talkative behaviour and their exclusive emotions. Even they can't bear anyone’s secret. People often hate them as well. Although an extrovert person could have a good soul.
An extrovert person has a lot of friends. But to be specific they have too limited good friends.
But the good thing is an extrovert does not keep his depression within him. He expresses it to others easily and that makes him happy.
**Ambiversion.**
Do you think balancing has good consequences? I always believe that balancing creates good things. In our regular life if we can balance we will be happy. We have discussed the problem of introverts and extroverts. Both of these two have some problems. But there is another one term that exists. That term is Ambiversion or ambivert.
Ambiversion contains limited characteristics of these two. It is a balanced form of human behaviour. A balanced way of behaviour where people act not too exclusively and not too inclusively. It is kind of limited version of the both.
So the best among these three is ambiversion according to my opinion. I agree that there cab be some different opinion. I will be glad if someone put their opinion on the comment box.

How to behave in the worst situation.
In our regular life we all often face some difficult situations. Some difficult situations become worse for us sometimes. After falling on a difficulty we forget our consciousness and it hampers us a lot. If we can control ourselves in any adverse situation and hold on to our consciousness we can solve or improve any difficult situation. There are some philosophical techniques to come out of a bad situation and I will discuss these.
Long time ago I read a book by Dale Carnegie. Dale Carnegie was a famous writer and philosopher. In that book I learned some techniques and till now I apply these in my regular life. One of these techniques is about the behaviour of a person in a bad situation.
Do you know what can happen in these bad situations? When a person falls into a bad situation and can't find any solution he may fall into depression. And we all know how harmful depression is! Depression can kill a person. Even we have seen many cases like this where people commit suicide after fall into adverse situation in their regular life. Adverse situations are like loss in business, failure in examination, separation in relationship, etc. After facing these problems people become unconscious and make wrong decisions. I want to say that some basic knowledge and beliefs can make our life more peaceful and will keep ourselves away from Making these kinds of wrong decisions. So Let's start.
**Confess the worst thing can happen and after confessing try to improve the worst.**
This is not my own opinion actually. This is the opinion of Dale Carnegie. At the beginning of my article I mentioned that I have read a book by Dale Carnegie. Dale Carnegie advised that when you are in a bad situation then confess what worst can happen. If you can confess the worst then you can not become depressed anymore. I have applied this many times in my own life. And I always get positive consequences.
Confessing the worst things can happen is not an easy task. But if you can do it once you will understand how beneficial it is. I want to ask, why so serious? Nothing is more valuable than our life. So give importance to your own life and forget all the problems. A man can restart from any adverse situation.
**If i tell you to choose one things from the two…**
**Depression, suicide after facing worst situation.**
**Or restart from the worst situation.**
I want to say Again that nothing is more valuable than a life. If anybody asks me what I will go for. I will definitely reply that I will go for the second one. I am a positivist and always want to be positive. What will be your choice?
Now another thing needs to be mentioned here. Past is always the past. Nothing can take the past back. Scientists tried to make time machines and tried to time travel. But it remains impossible. So it is sure that no one can change the past.
Things that already happened can not be changed. But those things which are going to happen in the future can be changed by your wish and consciousness. According to Dale Carnegie we need to focus on those things that are going to happen in the future rather than focusing on things that have already happened. If we can confess the worst consequences then we can easily focus on our future. Thinking about the past can only make you much more depressed. Nothing else.
Suppose a person has five industries. I mean he is the owner of these. He lives a luxurious life on the income coming from these industries. Suddenly three of his industries went to loss and he needs to make these industries off. Now he has two options. Number one, he can restart from the two industries he still has. Option two is he can be depressed after losing the tree industries. If he chooses the first option he can keep the other two industries. But if he chooses the second option he will lose the remaining two industries. Here Professor Dale Carnegie advised us to choose the first option. It will give you back everything.
When someone go through bad times in his life he feels like he is in the Ocean without anything. He depressed. And thinking about the past decreases his energy. If you think how you came here and regret for the past while you are in the deep Ocean without trying to get rid of then you will definitely sank. That happens in our life too. We sank in depression and depression kills us. We all need to learn from it and apply it in our life so that our life become more beautiful and peaceful.
**Consciousness.**
People become unconscious when they face any danger. It is a natural process. But those who can control this natural process and can stay cool and conscious at the time of danger can change the situation. Most of the cases people lost their consciousness after facing a bad situation. And they made wrong decisions unconsciously.
Now I will say if people can confess the worst consequences and try to improve the worst consequences with consciousness then there is a possibility to overcome the worst situation or diminish the losses. So at the end i want to say, stay calm and love your life.

A visit to the National Monument of Bangladesh
The full name is ***National Martyr's Monument.*** It is situated in Savar near the capital of Bangladesh, Dhaka. The monument was built to remember the sacrifice of martyrs who had died in the war of 1971. Still now we remember them with respect from the heart.
Almost every country of the world has a history of independence. Bangladesh also has a bloody history. We shed our blood in 1971 for the independence of the nation. We are now free just because of the sacrifice of these heroes. Almost 32 lakhs people had died in the 1971 war. And this National Monument was built to respect these heroes.
The National Monument is placed over a vast area. The area is secured by the boundary wall. It is a beautiful place indeed. There's so many lakes and thousands of trees. It's such a calm and beautiful place to spend some time there. A few days ago one of my friends came to my University from my village. He spent two days here. As The national monument is near beside my University Campus he wanted to go there. I took him to the national monument. Although I have visited this beautiful and respective place so many times.
Our University administration takes us to the place two days a year. These are 26 March, which is the independence day of Bangladesh and 16 December, which is the victory day of Bangladesh. We usually go to the national monument to show respect to those heroes who fought and gave lives in our Liberation war in 1971. One thing needs to be mentioned here is our Liberation war lasted for almost nine months. It started on 26 march and ended on 16 December.
So, now coming back to my recent visit. I went there with my friend. Although I came here before, it was the first visit for my friend. He was excited to see the national monument. And after reaching that place I saw happiness in his face. It was a good day for us. The weather was good. But rain started in the evening.
At first we took some pictures in front of the monument. The monument is 150 meters in height. And it has 7 pillars on both sides. The seven pillars represent the seven most important events before independence. These seven most important events are ***the language movement of 1952, the election of 1954, 1956 constitutional movement, 1962 education bill movement, 1966 six principle movement, the mass uprising in 1969 and the Liberation War in 1971.*** Each of the seven pillars represent one event of these seven. We got independence from these events.
This is our National monument. There is an artificial lake in front of the monument. And you can see it in the picture. The monument fully reflected on the water of the lake. It was looking so beautiful. The place is emotional for us too. The place reminds us how we have achieved independence.
Anyway my friend was so happy after seeing the monument. It was his first time. He was more pleased after seeing the beauty of the place. I walked all around the monument with him. Villagers always amazed after arriving at city. They usually lived in a calm and quite weather. But city life is too much busy.
We sat here for a few moments. It was amazing view there. Ducks were moving on the lake water. It felt like i can spent thousands year in this charming place. Green trees, lovely lake. I want nothing more...
After spending some moments there we came this place. Sat on the grass beside the lake. I have bought some nuts. We ate these nuts slowly.
These grass were fresh and green. It was rained before the day we have visited there so that these grass were more green. Anyway when we finished our nuts it almost evening there. And we stand up for coming out from the monument area. This was our visit to national monument of Bangladesh. I have tried to put some basic information about monument with the story of my visit. Thanks for reading my article.

Donating Blood is the kindest job
**Among all the activities I have ever done in my life blood donation is the best. Helping a person who is dying, and the person can be cured by your help is the best job in the world. This is the most beautiful kindness of human beings.**
I have donated my blood two times in my life. I wish to do it more but as I am underweight I can't. I donated blood for the first time in 2018 when I was 19 years old and I have donated blood for the second time today. I will tell you my experience in this regard so that you guys can be inspired by it and can join this kindness.
I got a message at noon. The message was something like that urgent A+ blood needed for an operation patient. I replied that I can donate but I am underweight. If you guys can not find any other person I will donate. After two hours they called me and told me that they couldn’t find any other donor.
So I get ready for the hospital after finishing my lunch. One of my friends went there with me. For supporting me. I was confident enough as I have donated blood once. So at first they took my blood sample. Doctors take some tests. The did cross match. And after an hour when all the reports of the result came, I went to give blood. A nurse took my blood. It took two minutes to fill the 600 ml bag. After finishing, I took the bag in my hand. It was my blood. It was hot. Then I came out. Took some fruits and came back to my residence. I feel a little bit weak now. Hoping that it will be fine tomorrow morning.
That is the story of my second blood donation. I did it for the sake of humanity. Every life is valuable on this earth. And if we can promote humanity we will have a peaceful world where kindness, brotherhood will prevail. I am a voluntary blood donor and there are a lot of voluntary blood donors in our University campus who are donating blood.
There is an organisation on our campus called **BADHON.** Badhon is an organisation which can be found all over our country. The task of this organisation is to help people find blood donors. They create a database where they enter the information of donors and when any poor or needy person needs blood they contact their members and donors. And it is the organisation which called me today.
This is totally a voluntary organisation. They have no benefit from it. But they do it from the heart. They are humanitarian. Millions of poor and needy people are getting benefit from this big voluntary organisation. I am also a member of this.
***Now I will tell you How i am feeling after donating blood.***
Donating blood is a great job. The person who benefits from it will pray for the donors from the core of their heart. Now come to the point what is the feeling as a donor after donating blood.
In this world nothing is more important except self satisfaction. And after donating blood for a needy person, who is in the bed of a hospital, you will feel like this is the best. Your heart will be filled with gratitude. You will enjoy the best level of self satisfaction then. After coming back to my residence today I am feeling happy. I am so happy because I did something for humanity.
***Do you know what is more necessary to be happy in life?***
To be happy, self satisfaction is the most important thing. If a person can become satisfied easily then he could become happy easily. And when a person donates blood willingly then the person will become self satisfied. His heart will be filled with blessing.
I haven’t clicked any photos in the hospital. I didn’t think about the article then. But now I am thinking that my article can inspire someone. So thanks for reading my article.
A Boat journey
***Amongst those things that I like most, 'Journey by boat' is one. I feel comfortable with it. Although I have experienced it so many times and still I love to do it. As a Bangladeshi I can say we have a deep connection with the River. We have almost 230 rivers in our motherland.***
Although our culture is not published very much. Let me tell you one thing. Bangladeshi people are called, "Mache Vate Bangali". The reason behind this is Bangladeshi people love fish and rice most. They can live one month without eating meat but they can't live a week without eating rice and fish. As we have a lot of rivers and there are various types of fish in these rivers.
*Cultural heritage is a big thing. I have an opinion in this regard. I want to know about different cultures and I want to make people know about my culture. Cultural exchange will make our world more beautiful. That's why I always want to put my cultural views in my article.*
Now I will tell you the story of my last boat journey. The river is 30 kilometres away from my home. When i went to my last vacation, it was Eid and summer vacation, i went there with friends. Although I have visited this place two times before this.
Anyway we went to the bank of river from home with two motorbikes. After reaching there we booked a boat after bargaining a few minutes. We call them Majhi ( boatman). The people live besides the river mostly dependent on these river.
Anyway we fixed the boat for two hours. River was not so big. It was a small river and perfect for a boat journey. We sat on the boat and the boatman started to move his rudder. By the way it was not a boat with engine. It was a boat run by the rudder. That's means an analog system.
It is me in this picture. I was sitting on the top of the boat and enjoying the beauties of the river. It was mind blowing the sun was going to set and the sky was becoming more colourful. These colours was reflecting on the river water. And in the end the reflection was created a very beautiful scenario.
At one point i took the handmaiden rudder of the boatman and tried to move it. At first the boat was not moving, after trying a little it was moving but unidirectionally. But with the advice of the boatman of our boat, i have done it successfully and run the bot for a few minutes. It is not an easy task. I realise that those man really do hard work for living their live. Calm River
The river was so culm that day. As it is a small river it doesn’t have big waves at all. The boatman have sang a few local songs. They sing well. Actually our boatman used to sing baul songs. Which is a traditional songs of our country.
We saw a boat of fishermen and they were catching fish there. Our boatman told us that the fishes of this river is the most tasty fish in this region. We also got some necessary information for buying the best fish. He helped us with information. We have bought fish from the fishermen. It was really heavenly tasty...
After almost two hours of boat journey we reached at the bank of the river where our bikes were parked. It was a rememberable journey for me.

Colours of nature.
**Nature is full of diversity. We know very little about this thousands coloured nature. From the apex of the highest peak of the world to the deepest part, nature has its colourful diversity. This diversity amazes us, reminds us about our Almighty Creator who has created everything for the creatures.**
Whenever I see the massiveness and the monumentality of nature I feel how little I am in front of nature. If a person who is so pretentious, always proud with oneself sees the vastness and massiveness of nature he might feel something and all his pride will be removed in front of nature. He will feel that human life is too short. Kindness is the key. The person who has a lot of money is not remembered by people after his death but the person who did lots of good work is remembered and honoured by people even after his death.
Sometimes I unconsciously think about the massiveness of the world. There is the solar system, so many planets, stars and on earth where we are living, which is called the only planet where there is life. There is huge natural diversity on earth.
I am sometimes amazed with the colour of nature. How colourful our nature is! I am from Bangladesh and still I haven't visited any other country. In Bangladesh we have six seasons and in every season we see different colours of nature. Let me show you some pictures I have captured.
Rainbow is the source of all colour.
Rainbow contains seven different colours. Rainbow is the causes of reflection of sunlight on the water drops. I think friends who studying science can interpret it very well. I am an student of political science and arts so i know the beauty of colours. Don't know about tue origin of it.
Anyway in my life I have seen rainbow so many times. But among these i will share you about two. One more thing I want to add and that is how we reacted after watching a rainbow in the childhood. At the age of Childhood whenever we saw rainbow we ran for catch it. Do you know what was our concept about sky then? We used to think that the sky has an end. It has fall down as we see. And if we ran we can reached the place where sky and earth meet together. So whenever we saw rainbow we tried to catch it. We thought that it is a material things. We can catch it. Now when i thought about that foolishness of childhood, I usually lough a lot. These memories are really wonderful.
This picture was taken two years ago. The place was beautiful, even you can say horribly beautiful. Watching a rainbow in the middle of the river and the time was when you are travelling with a small boat will give you real pleasure. It was like a dream for me. I always love adventure.
It was such a day we were travelling the northern part of Bangladesh. We were in the middle of the river and suddenly the sky became so cloudy. Dark cloud made two weather dark. Then we faced rain for a few minutes. We all Were in tension because the boat was not safe it any strom comes. But fortunately nothing happened like that. But after a few minutes when the rain stopped we saw a beautiful rainbow in the middle of the river. We all were amazed with that.
I realise the diversity of nature, the different colours of nature then. Ten minutes ago we saw a sky of dark cloud. And ten minutes later we saw a sky with lots of colour.
Sunset.
At the time of sunset the whole sky become colourful in a fresh weather. I think everyone loves to see the colourful sunset. I have captured so many picture of colourful sunset in my life but the best one is always rememberable.
This was the best one I have ever seen and ever captured. Though the actual scenario was better than the picture.
I will remember this day forever. I went to fishing and suddenly rain started. I was alone there. Two kilometres away from my village and there was no people around me. But i waited. When the rain stopped I was preparing to go home. And it was becoming evening then. Suddenly i saw the sunset. The first word came out from my mouth is WOW.
This are two story i will remember for ever. I saw the colour of nature with my eyes. My eyes filled with amazed after seeing these. Anyway that's all for today. Thanks for reading my article.
All the pictures are mine.
My views towards life
Life is like a river. As long as the water flows the river lives. But if the water flow being stopped then the water will be polluted. And for human, as long as we will run our life with good deeds our life will run in a good manner. But if we stop our good thinking our soul will be polluted.
Everyone has some views towards life. Almighty God created all Human beings differently. As like our faces are different from others, our thinking is also different from one another. *It is unbelievable that two people's thinking is 100 percent similar.* There might be some dissimilarities among the people of the world. It can happen that some people belong to a common ideology so that their thinking is somewhat similar. But that similarity can not be 100 percent or near to 100 percent.
Anyway, I am an undergraduate level student and studying in a prestigious University of our country. Hope one day I will go abroad for higher studies. When I was 12, my reading habit was being created. Since then I have always loved reading books from different disciplines. I read about so many books of different cultures, philosophy and history. Based on this I developed my views towards life.
Views towards life simply means what I think about human life. I believe that everyone has different views and thinking about life. We always try to make our own world as we think about it. Now i will point out my views.
***Never kill oneself before death.***
We human beings die one time physically. But our mental death can happen while we are alive physically. I am explaining it.
Suppose Mr. X is walking on a road. Suddenly he saw a person in danger. Mr. X is capable of helping him. But he have no intention to do that. This selfishness, unkind heart makes a man dead from his soul. Deception, cowardly behaviour, live on lies makes a man dead before dying physically.
**Be Kind**
Always being kind is one of the key points of my ideology. I love to think about humanity. Almighty God created human beings as the best creation among everything. We have the brain to think about good and bad. We can understand what is good and what is bad which other creatures like animals do not. We can control everything. Think about it twice. Humans control everything in the World. We have put our footprint on the peak of the highest mountain and we are inventing what is under the deep sea. We are also gaining more and more knowledge about the solar system regularly.
We are developing ourselves regularly. But still now some people of the world are living miserable lives. Shouldn’t we think about them? I think we should. It is said that Kindness is a great virtue. Very often we say that but very few people apply it in their own life. I follow it and advice people to be kind to others, especially those who are in a bad situation.
**Be truthful.**
The person who says that he never lied. I am doubtful that this sentence is a lie. I also lie. But I try to be truthful in every thing which is important. When your truth can cause something good then Don't lie. And if you can be truthful to every event of life it is best.
**Be Honest**
There is a common saying that honesty is the best virtue. I think nobody will go against it. Honesty can make a better society and consequently a better world. Honesty provokes bad things like bribery, stealing, robbery, lies, etc. An Honest man always respected by people. I think if every people of the world become honest war, assassination and every bad things will be removed from the society and peace will reveal.
**Never be a two faced person.**
A two faced person is dangerous for society. Two faced means a man who tells something and acts something else, or a person who always loves backbiting. Nobody likes a person like this.
**Be humble**
Being humble is one of the best virtues for me. In every aspect of life if you remain humble towards others you will be Rewarded. People always love a person who is humble.
**This is my personal opinion. I know there can be dissimilarities with others. As I mentioned earlier, people's thinking never becomes totally similar. If one person gets help from my writing that will be my pleasure.**
Farmers dreams vested in heavy rain and flood
***This year, Bangladeshi farmers are passing through a very difficult time. Strom and heavy rainfall make harvesting difficult***. Farmers are very unhappy with it. In Bangladesh, the rainy season starts from the middle of the june. And the harvesting ends in the middle of the may. But this year the rainy season comes very early. From may 1st weather became unfavourable for harvesting.
Bangladesh is still an agricultural country. Our economy depends greatly on agriculture. In this summer farmers cultivate paddy mainly. They plant it at the end of winter and take the crops to their home in the middle of summer. Every year farmers face some difficulties but the portion is not like this year. Losses are so huge this year. Heavy rainfall has destroyed a huge proportion of crops.
For your kind information I want to make you guys know about the economic bases of Bangladesh. According to the consent of various intelligentsia there are three economic pillars that exist in the economy of Bangladesh. These pillars are Agriculture, Garments Industry and Remittance coming from abroad. In the modern era they believe that the most viable pillar is still agriculture. I think a country's developing speed becomes faster when that country becomes self-sufficient in its food sector. And Bangladesh is now self-sufficient in this sector with the help of farmers. Bangladesh is a developing country and agriculture is one of the key elements of the development.
Now we will focus on the farmer's life cycle. A farmer mostly depends on his crops for the expense of his family. As we are a rice eating country and almost all farmers' families eat rice three times everyday so we need to cultivate paddy. Paddy is still our main crop. Farmers cultivate paddy and these paddy provide them food for the whole year.
This is a picture of paddy fields in rural Bangladesh. Because of heavy rainfall, crops of the fields being sank under water.
When these paddy ruins because of bad weather they become depressed by thinking about the future. Although our government is very much sympathetic towards farmers, in a developing country it is hard to supply aid for the vast majority of people. On the other hand covid pandemic and Ukraine Russia effect is seriously hampering the world economy. Our country is not out of these effects. Inflation rate is increasing. Prices of the regular necessary commodities are rising which increases farmer's depression.
I was in my village ten days ago. I saw people who have paddy in the field are in a great depression. Their investment and their labour was ruined by the heavy rain and strom. Life of a farmer is not easy. *Once I watched an Indian movie. Where the situation of a farmer was portrayed very positively. One dialogue I can still remember. That is, an employee will find a job if he loses his job. But a farmer has no other option. They are farmers and this is their only identity. Agriculture is not easy. It is a relation between man and earth.*
This is true. In this era we are not giving proper respect to farmers. But they really deserve respect. I think it is our duty to respect them. They produce for the world. For us who are living in the city. Whatever we are eating in a restaurant or in our home is produced by a farmer. Though we pay them , we really care for them. They produce food by love. In every food there is the touch of a farmer. We really need to give them proper respect.
In Bangladesh almost every year floods come from the north. Northern part of the country sank under the flood water. It also hampers farmers a lot. And this year floods also created havoc for the farmers.
***I don’t know how these problems can be solved and how these losses can be recovered. I just saw the depression of farmers. I saw the scrambling. I know they will recover. They are the real heroes. They will recover it and will cultivate their land again. They never learned to give up. They learned how to fight from childhood. We salute them for their heroic culture.***
Importance of Dream, Dedication and Hard work.
What happens when Dream, Dedication and Hard work meet together. There is only one consequence of the meeting of these three and that is SUCCESS. People who are dedicated towards their dream never stop, they continue their hard work until achieving their dream.
Here I am back with this beautiful fam. Dream, dedication and hard work are three important elements of success. The person who wants to pass the path of success and wants to achieve something in life or who has a dream to achieve must know and apply these three things in their own life. It will make the consequence they desire.
Today I will discuss the importance of these three vital elements. It is not claimed by this article that without knowing about these three elements a person can not become successful. Rather I claimed in this article that with proper knowledge about the importance of dream, dedication and hard work, a person can become confident and mentally consistent towards achieving his dream. So Let's start.
Dream of fixing a goal is the most important thing in the way of success. There is a saying that success never comes, it is achieved by hard work . And I think when there is no dream or goal then there is nothing to achieve. Your subconscious mind will not push you to work hard if you do not have any dream. It will not push you to work hard if you are not passionate towards your dream. So, dreams are important in achieving any success.
***I can use a quote from APJ Abul Kalam Azad, he wrote in his book (wings of fire) that dreaming is the important thing which keeps dreamers awake. Dreams never permit a person to sleep.***
Yes, when a person is passionate about his dream his absent mind will always push him to work for that.
This shows the importance of dreams. Let me tell you one thing. When I was 18 years old, I had recently finished college and was preparing for my University admission. Here in our country we need to sit an admission test for the public universities. I had a dream that I will admit to the best university in our country. I had four months in hand for the huge syllabus. But I had a dream. That dream made me successful. I made up my mind that I need three things for becoming successful. The first is dream which I have, the second is dedication and I also have this. Third one is hard work. I decided to work hard, had made a routine and started studying. I haven’t done any unnecessary things in this four months. I slept 5 hour in a day. Studied almost 15-16 hour everyday. And after this hard working period i sat on the exam. Hard work satisfied me with the result. I got chance on merit. Now I am studying at one of the best universities in Bangladesh. I am telling this story to show you how dedication and hard work can make a man successful.
Anyway, now we will focus on dedication. I think I have written so much about dedication and hard work on the above. Dedication comes with dreams. Every man has dreams. Like they want to be something, they want to achieve something. They tell it too often that if they have such things. They also have a lot of wishes. But very few of them have dedication for these dreams and wishes. They just wish to have but they do not think about achieving what they wish to have.
Those people who have dedication to work hard for achieving their dream can find the way to success. They are the heroes. They make examples for others. A man who has thousands of barriers can also be successful if he has a dream and is dedicated to that dream. Likewise I can say when we started on this platform, we were not rewarded in our first article. We had to wait and to do our task with dedication.
*****Now comes hard work.***** **It doesn’t make any sense if you have a dream and dedication but you are not mentally prepared for working hard**. Dreams and dedication become useless without hard work. Without hard work no one can achieve success.
***Another important thing can be added in this list and that is consistency.*** Consistency is a big thing. To achieve something a person needs to work hard with consistency. We all know the story of Hare and Tortoise. Where we learned that slow but steady wins the race. We know a hare can run thousands times faster than a tortoise. But the hare was not consistent in its goal. And on the contrary the tortoise was consistent. Tortoise ran slowly, as fast as it could, but it kept its consistency. It was not disappointed with the speed of the hare.
I also want to say one more thing and that is never be jealous of others and never become disappointed after seeing others excellency. Excellency can be created by hard work, confidence and consistency. Like the tortoise won the race by having consistency. But if it becomes disappointed after thinking about the speed of the hare it will never join the race.
***So, in the end we can say Dream, dedication, hard work and consistency is the key to success.***
Nature is the energy source of our soul.
**There is a saying that** ***"In nature nothing is perfect because everything is perfect there."***
I think nobody will disagree with it. Every human being can find happiness, calmness and relaxation in the touch of nature. One question can be aroused that can nature really touch humans. I can assure you with a hundred percent guarantee that nature can touch you. It can touch our soul invisibly. Our heart fills with gratitude in the touch of nature.
One of my friends wrote in her article that nature is one of the best doctors. I agree with her. Do you know that sometimes medical doctors suggest that their patients to change the weather?
Actually, I am a book lover. Have read so many book of our own literature and from other literature too. I have found there one thing about nature's healing power. Sometimes people need to change the weather. Most of the time doctors suggest to go to a place where there is clean and pure air available. In this modern age we barely can find pure air in the cities. But people who have travelled to any hills or sea coast know how healthy the air is in these places.
In my life I maintain some key words. From these hunger of hearts and souls is one. Our stomachs become hungry and need food for energy. Likewise, our souls also need something to fill it with energy. And the food of our soul is the beauty of nature, the free and pure air. So many poets of world literature sang the songs of nature. They sang the victorious songs of the mighty nature. My favourite poet Jibanananda Das was a poet of nature. He has portrayed the natural and cultural beauty of rural and riverine Bangladesh in his poem.
Once I went to visit a waterfall in the deep hill forest. It was not an easy Route. But I am very passionate about adventure. After a hard trek I reached the waterfall. After seeing the beauty of mighty Nature I learned some lessons.
First one how vast nature is! We are nothing in front of nature. I was feeling so little there. My soul becomes calm. I was able to listen to my heartbeat. I feel that I am not a big thing in this world. I learned to be humble there. It is true that you can learn to be humble from nature. Nature also teaches us humanity and kindness. I realised it one more time when I went to the ocean. Generally Ocean is so calm but it can also be destructive.
Humans are also part of the natural world. But we have developed ourselves over the course of time. And in the way of this development we destroyed the natural world in many ways. We polluted the air, river and overall environment. Our acts can destroy us one day if we remain unaware.
Have you ever seen from your heart how colourful our natural world is? Let me tell you according to the context of our country. In our country there are six different seasons. In general there are four seasons in maximum countries. But in Bangladesh we have six. And in these six seasons nature makes it up with new colors. Obviously the Most beautiful season is spring. When we see beautiful flowers in the trees.
Actually I wrote this article from the love of my heart towards green nature. From childhood I have been a plant lover. I had planted so many trees in my village. I had also led some tree plantation programmes in my village. But the very sad thing i have faced this time in the village is that so many people are cutting their age old gardens. I was so disappointed after seeing it. But they need places for the expansion of their families.
Deforestation and Industrial waste are making our nature polluted. Which will backfire one day and the whole world will be in danger for that. According to Google, 17% of the world's oxygen supply depends on the Amazon rainforest. But according to some media, there are also some deforestation projects illegally. I will write about deforestation and pollution another day.
Thanks for reading my Article.
A Travel Story.
***I always love to introduce me as a traveler. In my regular life still now i love to do three things and these three things are travelling, books and music. I have published an article on my travelling earlier. Where i wrote about the Longest sea beach of the world and my journey there. Today i will discuss about another trip. So Let's start…***
It was a three day journey. We went to Barishal, a southern Division of Bangladesh. We were a team of two young man. We decided to go by ship on river route. It was my first long journey on river stream. We started our journey at the evening od the day. Ship was ta 9 pm. But we had reached to the station at 7 pm. It is the biggest ship station of Bangladesh called Sadar Ghat.
As we had reached there earlier and we had two hours in hand, we decided to go to eat something special. Suddenly my friend told me about this renowned faluda. The name of the shop was Beauty Lacci and Faluda. It is a very famous Faluda in Dhaka city, the capital of Bangladesh. After finishing the Faluda we go back to the station and at 9 pm the ship started the journey.
Look at this picture. This is the picture of Sadar Ghat (ship station). There was so many ships standing on the brink of the river. The name of the river is Buriganga. Though the condition of the river is not good now. Once upon a time this river had a great importance on the trade of our country but now it has been reduced in a great portion. The water of the river polluted by the garbage of the industry. But it has still importance as a river stream.
Whole night the ship ran and in the early morning we reached our destination. It was a great feeling that we spent a night on the river. We reached Barisal at 5 am of morning. One friend came to receive us there. We went her house and take a rest.
Let me tell you guys a description about Barishal. Barishal is a southern Division of Bangladesh as i said before and there is 8 District in this Division. Barisal is a River based Division. There is so many river on that. You know what Bangladesh is a riverine country. And Barisal contains most of the river. The most famous river of Barishal is Kirtankhola. The people's of Barishal loves fish so much and Barishal is the Kingdom of Hilsha..
The first day we visit the city and a famous mosque of Barishal. The city of Barishal is a neat and clean city and the people of rhe city is very helpful as i noticed there.
Guthiya Mosque
After visiting the city we went to visit Guthiya Mosque. We went there after lunch. It was a very beautiful mosque and the beauty increases thousands times more when it becomes dark at the evening and all the lights turn on. We Reached there at 5 pm, 1.5 hour before the evening. So we need to wait for the evening because we didn’t want to miss the most beautiful moment.
When it becomes dark at the evening and lights turns on the mosque became really amazing. Just look at the picture. It became so colourful with lights. I just loved it. Having a beautiful time there we came back to the city.
Epiphany Church
In the 2nd day we went to visit the Epiphany Church. According to Google, this is the largest church in South Asia. It was beautiful too. But we were disappointed after reaching there. The Guard told us that we are not permitted to go inside. We were really shocked after listening that. There was a boundary wall taller than me. But i managed to take some pictures there. And come to city.
Brajomohon College.
It is a famous college of Barishal. It was established during the British period. The famous poet of Barishal is Jibanananda Das. He is my most favorite poet too. He also studied from this College. The College has maiden with red bricks and all the buildings are red coloured there. There is a british style on every building. We have explore the college and found a cafe named after my favorite poet Jibanananda Das. We had a snacks there.
And while walking we saw a beautiful and calm place. We sat there for a while. I can still remember we have bought two Ice-cream there. After exploring the college we came back to the city and backpack for coming back to Dhaka.
It was an amazing tour for us. We have learned so many things about the city and city people. Also acknowledged about the culture of the city.
Travelling can teach you so many things. Firstly it will make you know about the place you are travelling. Secondly about the psychology of the people of the place. Thirdly the culture of the place. And for me the food culture is also important. Because i am a food lover too. One of the great philosopher said that you need to look on the food habit of people of you want to know about the civilised nature of the people of a region.
**End of the day travelling is good for the mental health of people too.**
Thanks for reading my article with patience.
Things make relationship sustainable.
In contemporary world a things is being seen in common and that is problem in relationship. In our country most of the suicide been occurred due to the breaking up of relationship of young people. Divorce after marriage is also a problem in our region nowadays. These problem are growing gradually.
*In this article i will discuss some basic things which is fundamental in a relationship. And when these three things are in lacking in a relationship then it can not be survived in a long run.*
In my opinion every relationship, whether it is a married relationship or a love relationship, needs three key things fundamentally. And these three things are:
**Trust**
**Transparency**
**And Love.**
Relationship that contains these three key things can go a long way. In any kind of relationship these things are must needed..
Now i will discuss these three things briefly and show you why these are important and what can be happened without having these in a relationship.
Trust
Trust is the most fundamental and the most necessary elements in a relationship i think. Trust is the pillar. All these three elements are three pillars of a relationship and each of them are very strong pillar. And among all trust is the most strong pillar of a relationship.
Without trust a relationship can not be expected. Suppose, in a love relationship two partners will trust each other and this is what expected by all. Trust can make married life very healthy and happy. In a very normal sense if any partner lost his or her trust from another partner in any reason, on that time when trust being lost, the relationship started to be destroyed.
In a relationship the importance of trust is like the importance of book in a Library. As a library can not be imagined without books, a relationship can not be imagined without trust. But one thing need to be mentioned here and that is the partners also need to be trustworthy.
What can be happened without trust? Without trust a relationship becomes toxic. Partners make quarrel in everything because they Don't believe each other. The third person sat Between the partners is scepticism. I am telling it person because it does a great negative impact. Partners become sceptical in every task done by the other. And these sceptical behaviour make quarrel very often. Make their life heal.
So what should we do? We need to thing twice before going to any relationship that is it will be good or not. Think about the person that is he really trustworthy or not.
**Transparency**
Transparency is the second most important things in a relationship. Transparency creates trust Between the partners. If the partners of a relationship remains transparent then they are trustworthy and there is nothing to be sceptical for the partners in general. Relationship becomes happiest when two partners are transparent about each other and when trust prevail there.
The importance of transparency can be said in one sentence and that is, without transparency trust can nit be exists. And i discussed above about the importance of trust. So it can be said that without transparency a relationship can not go a long run.
A relationship Without transparency is a relationship with lies. Where there is no transparency there prevail lies. Partners become liar to each other. And it falls at a time.
**Love**
Love can be the most important for someone. I also agree that without love a relationship can't exist. Love is the elements from which two person go to a relationship. But i am talking about how a relationship can survived. And that is why i put it in the third.
Anyway i think we all know the importance of love in a relationship. Love makes the relationship cute. I don’t think so many things is need to be talk about it. If there is no love that relationship lost respect from each other. And it also make relationship toxic. Love is the key elements in a relationship. But do you know one thing? In the beginning love prevail every relationship but if there is any lack of trust and transparency then partner lost his or her love from the other. Now i think you can understand why i put it in the last. Because it reduces in the action of the two abovementioned elements.
So, in the end if we want a happy married life or a happy relationship we need to emphasis on these three most important elements. And always assure thar Trust, transparency and love are prevailing in the relationship. Then it will go a long run. I sometimes see some person who are together in their life for sixty, seventy or even eighty years. They are still happy. Because they respect each other. Their friendship is so cool and they passed their life with these pillar.
One more elements is also important in a relationship. And that is friendship. When partners are friends too then it makes then happy more.
Anyway it is my own thinking about relationship. I tried to learn form those who have happy relationship in their life. There can be dissimilarities with others.

Suicide is a worldwide problem.
A few days ago i was shocked with a bad news. It was a news of suicide. The victim was my senior in the varsity. He committed suicide by jumping from the roof of a six floor building. Although it was a hall building of our University. After jumping from the building he was alive for two hours. At that time he was in life support in the hospital. At first we all were assuming it as an accident. Because he was a good person and always remained in happy in front of us. But after a few hours, a suicide note was found in his room. Which was written by him. We all were shocked after hearing it. It was unimaginable for all.
*In an interview, Yuval Noah Harari told that, we are living in an era in which people die in suicide more than attacked by terrorists*.
Yuval Noah Harari is an famous writer and historian. Who is an scientist also. He wrote the Sapiens: a brief history of humankind book. He told it in the basis that 500 years ago people being assassinated by terrorist very often. But now we become more civilised and these Types of assassination has decreased dramatically. But suicide increased a lot. In fact some civilised countries are inventing new and developed methods for committing suicide. Which is really shocking for the world.
Why people are doing suicide? Why suicide are increasing day by day? What is the reason behind this?
I Don't know the appropriate reason of these. I don't know whether it is appropriate reason or not that i know. But here i will identify some reason that is the cause of suicide i think.
Loneliness.
Loneliness is one of the biggest reason behind this increasing rate of suicide. Then one question arise. What make people lonely. I think technological development make people more lonely.
By the help of technology now we can reach people from one corner of the world to another corner. But by doing so we have forgot the importance of communication directly. People, especially the young generation of our country, spend more time on their online activities then in playing with friends or gossiping with families. These make our concentration on the virtual world and make us disconnect from the physical world.
Technological development made people assembled in the city. Jobs are becoming more and more city centered. People are willingly living in cities for living more easy and developed life. They are becoming more selfies and self centered gradually. In my views, people in the cities are not care about each others.
Destruction of family system is another cause. People are becoming modern and they are willingly living alone. They are coming out from the family system. Whereas family always stay besides it members in their bad times. Due to not having family people are becoming fully alone in the old age.
Depression.
It is another causes of suicide. Even this is the biggest cause. Depression can comes from loneliness or another things like separation. Depression kills people. But if people can share their loneliness and depression with others then it can be reduced.
We need to support those people who are in depression. Although we regret when a person died but when he was alive very few cared about him. We need to build a connected world where people can share their depression easily. We need to create a comfort zone for our friends and family. We need not run only after material needs.
Joblessness.
Joblessness creates depression. People in our society do not takes jobless people in a good manner. People avoid them and sometimes people demotivate them as well.
Breakups and separation.
In our country this is a Prime cause of suicide for young generation. Young boys committing suicide after their breakup in relationship. This can be reduced by the cooperation of family and proper education about it. We need to make social connectivity and social education more and more.
As i have seen in my experience these are the causes of suicide in general. I have discussed what i have seen in my country. There can be some difference with your society. But it is definitely true that suicide is a big problem nowadays world. Social connectivity and family cooperation need to be increased to prevent it.

A traditional food and its recipe.
Every country has own culture of food. So we also have a rich culture of food as a Bangladeshi. Our culture is so much rich. We are culturally rich from the ancient rime in this sector. So many types of spices cultivated here. And Indian people used them in their cooking which make their food spicy. Whereas we know that people in the today's civilised countries used to eat boiled food 500 years ago. But Indians used spices from thousands of years ago.
Bengali is so much passionate in food. And here you will see so much diversity in food. One of them is hotchpotch. Today i will tell you about hotchpotch and how to cook this tasty food in this article. So Let's start.
Hotchpotch is called khichuri in our Bengali Language. It's a traditional recipe of Bengali people. Most of the people of our country loves it a lot. People in Bangladesh eat rice in everyday. Whereas in other Country people eat so many things like bread, soup or pasta and pizza but in our country 95% people can't live without rice. And that is why paddy is the chief crops in our country.
In a rainy day people would like to eat hotchpotch. And for me it is a must items of my menu in a rainy day. Today is a rainy day. It has rained a lot from the morning. Weather is so cold. A charming weather. People calls it romantic weather. It is definitely a weather for couple. And for the single boys like me It's a day for cooking hotchpotch. I was doing that. As i have came back to my city yesterday. Now i am in my room and my roommate also came today's morning. He told me to cook today. And i started my job.
Though boys in our culture do not do households chores. And neither do cooking. But i am not like this. I do every household chores and cooking is my passion. I love to cook and to invite people to taste my food.
When i started cooking i thought it will be better to write an article about hotchpotch and its recipe. People will know about my culture and they will also know how to cook this tasty food. Especially when it is my most favorite food. So i started taking some pictures of the cooking and now after eating that so much tasty own cooked hotchpotch i am writing this one.
At first you have to take these ingredients.
Rice, lentils, pepper, garlic, Ginger, oil, clarified butter, slat, turmeric powder and some tasty spices.
Firstly you need to cut all these pepper and ginger. And make all these spices like pepper, Turmeric powder, salt, garlic, ginger,clarified butter etc ready.
Secondly you need to wash the rice and lentils after mixing these two. You have wash it so carefully otherwise it can be fall from the pot. And you have to make sure there is no water in the pot of rice.
Thirdly, put you pot in the oven. Make it hot. Then give some oil on the pot. When the oil become so hot put the spices (pepper, ginger, garlic, Turmeric powder, salt) in the pot together. Now you need to shift these within the pot two minutes.
Then it is time to put all these mixed rice and lentils in the pot and again shift two minutes. After shifting two minutes you have to put water on the pot. The measurement of water you need to put is double of the quantity of mixed rice and lentils. Then you have to keep it on the oven closing the pot. And waits for the hotchpotch. In the meantime you need to check whether salt is appropriate or not. And one thing you need to remember, never ever give so much salt on the cooking. You can recover if you give a little but if you give much you can't eat that food. So if necessary give a little bit salt and when water become dried and hotchpotch been made, switch off the oven. And take it to you dining table.
You can enjoy this with meat. But as i have not meat in my room now i have enjoyed it with a fried egg. Happy cooking.

Do you know the name of the longest sea beach of the world? And do you know in which country it is? Let me know you if you Don't. The name of the longest sea beach of the world is Cox’s Bazar. And this is located in the southern part if Bangladesh.
Bangladesh is a country of South Asia region. The neighbours country of Bangladesh is India and Myanmar. Bey of Bengal is the only sea of this country. Bey of Bengal connects Bangladesh with the Indian Ocean. And Cox’s Bazar is a beach of the Bey of Bengal. Cox’s Bazar is also the name of the District in where the beach is located.

In our country, Bangladesh, Cox’s Bazar is one of the most famous tourist spot where tourists from abroad also come. Though it has potentialities to be more famous even one of those most famous beach of the world but due to some limitations it couldn’t be in that position..
I went to Cox’s Bazar for the first time in 1 march 2020 and till now this is the last time for me. I went there in a tour which was arranged by my Department of my University. In Every year it has been arranged by the Department. But due to covid it was postponed for two times in 2021 and 2022. We are hoping that in the first month of 2023 we will go there Again.
It was a great journey as we were 24 friends together. Our journey started at evening. All the night we enjoyed a lot. We sang together and also dance. We reached at the very early hour of morning. Hotel was booked from earlier. We just received the key of our room and went to have a good sleep.
While you are on a tour you have to take proper sleep. And as i have travelled almost 15 times i know it better. If you do not take a good rest you Will become unable to enjoy the things for which you came.
So after having a good rest we went out for the sea beach. And from then our real journey started. It was just amazing. There was someone who was Being seen the sea for the first time. Though i have enjoyed this many time.
We at first took some pictures then we get down into the sea. We have took something like foam to stay sweeming in the sea. The salty water was making us more live. Big big wave were coming to the shore and we were facing them with so much happiness. That was a fabulous feelings.
After having so much fun in the beach we went to hotel room and finished our lunch with sea fish. These fishes was too much tasty. I am so much thankful to the cook who cooked these.
Anyway after taking a short rest we went out for the next spot where we visit a hill and another beach. We climbed the hill together and watched the Ocean from the top of the hill. One things need to mention here and that is the hill was just beside the sea. Here you can enjoy sea and hills at the same time.
After climbing the hill we all we exhausted and started our journey for Inani Beach. Our bus was running over the longest Marine Drive Road. Suddenly we observe that we are running over such a road in which sea in the one side and hills on the other side. It was amazing. We request the driver to stop the bus.
When the driver stopped the bus we come down and started having picture with phone and camera. Besides all we enjoyed the Marine Drive with our eyes. Then we went to inani beach and enjoyed the sun set there. Sun was setting in the sea and we were there. We didn’t fell down to water here. After that we went out for the hotel. And at the night we came to the sea beach for enjoying the night sea. The sound of wave and sea in the moonlit. Actually sea in the moonlight looks very Awesome.
The next morning we went out early morning to the way of Saint martine Island. I will write about that journey in another day. Stay blessed.
Friendship, the best things on Earth.
Nothing in this world is as powerful as a friendship. At the same time a man who is acting like a friend but actually he is not, is the worst one. Identifying true friend is very much difficult in this modern era.
There is a lots of stories about friendship in this world in every culture and in every languages. I will focus on some common saying about friendship and based on these saying i will show you how friends is necessary, what can a friend done in friendship, what is the importance of a true friend.
Let's start with a true story…
A few days ago, i heard about a story which is hundred percent authentic. I am going to share it with you to portray that what can be done in friendship.
There were two old ma who used to be friends from their childhood. We know there is a lots of friendship like these. The why it is being mentioned? What are their speciality? Their speciality is mainly they are from two different religion. But their friendship is too profound that we can't measure. They used to meet regularly. Whereas in village culture, some villagers do not go to a different religion’s people house, they used to do everything in one another's house. They invite one another and hosted very beautifully.
When they gossip they become child. They become mad while gossip. They laugh like they are the happiest persons of the world.
As they were too old, one friend get sick one day. And after a few days he died. As i mentioned above they were from different religion. The man who died was Muslim. And the man who alive is Hindu. The alive one has become almost mad for his friend. While the funeral of the died friend the alive one was crying like a child. There love was being showed by the whole community in that day.
After funeral people went to home but the friend stay there a long time. After that day the man used to go to the grave everyday in the afternoon. He stay there for two plus hour. Talk alone and cry sometimes. One day a man asked him why you used to come here everyday? He answered that, when my friend was alive we used to gossip every afternoon. And that is why i come here in afternoon and talk to my friend for the whole afternoon.
That’s the spirit of friendship. It is like they can die for each other. We need such friend who will never forget us even after our death they will remember.
A friend in need a friend is indeed.
We all know the story. Two friends were passing a jungle and suddenly a bear came there. One friend know how to climb tree and another one doesn’t know. When bear came one friend climb on a tree without thinking about the other. The another one fall in trouble. Suddenly he applied a trick and safe him from the bear. But From this incidents he come to know one things that this is not his friend who had leaved him in time of danger.
In this world identifying true friend is really difficult. When you bad time comes, you can identify it easily. Because some fake friend will not be your side when you are in bad situation. They always want to be the ant of good times. They will act like they are your best friend when you have money and happiness but they will act like they didn’t even met you ever when you are in trouble. But a true friend will be in your side with responsibility when you are in trouble. This is the characteristics of a true friend.
There is another one saying that, A book is more helpful than 100 friends but a true friend is like a library.
So you can understand from this how important a true friend is. I have too many friends in life. But i know all of these are not my friend. Some of them are acting like friend. They behaves good in front of me but they do gossips behind about me. That is their nature. I am thankful to Almighty that i have a few true friend too. They are Very much connected with my regular life. We together making our life colorful.
We don’t know how many days we will stay in this earth, but i know there is some people besides my family who will remember me.
I know friends, there can be some mistake in my article. As a Newbie i want you guys will consider this. This article contains only my own consent. Thank you for reading.
