Never let the Odds make you feel down, you do what you meant to! *Back then, society used to think doing what doesn't fit in social 'terms' is similar to doing nothing. Can you remember, how people used to laugh at the young ones who enrolled themselves in computer science? Or about 10 years ago, no one took pro gamers seriously.* It's because we used to believe what does not fit in our dictionary is worthless. Another reason is our lack of long-term anticipation. Whether…

Not eating your greens? Here's how you can make an easy yet tasty Sautéed Broccoli. 🥦🥦 Broccoli is not my favorite but I often eat it to meet my green intake. It's easy to prepare and full of nutrition. If you are the one who compromises with eating green, then you can try making broccoli this way. The ingredients we need are very simple. Broccoli Garlic Oil and salt. That's enough. But I added some chili, seasoning powder, cumin seeds, and onion as well. Let me share my…

12 years of Emptiness! When my Dad passed away, I felt like one part of my soul died with him too! I thought time will heal everything, I will get back to life. Yes, things changed, I healed. Now I can talk about him which I couldn't even a few years ago. But the part inside my soul still feels empty. And I know very sure, that would not going to fill with anything else for the rest of my life. img https://unsplash.com/photos/T9THJMIIMPM *I usually don't talk about my Dad…

When nothing goes right, just breathe! *Life gives us no guarantee that it will go smooth, as we want. Yet we never lose hope, no?* When nothing goes right, isn't it natural to feel down, sad, and negative? Yeah, I know the way we deal with things is different. But I guess at this one point we all come together, we don't feel good if things go on opposite to our expectations. img https://unsplash.com/photos/p-7TtH69twY *My husband sometimes says, don't expect anything and…

What motivates me to go forward? Putting myself together to take any action is tough for me. And when it comes to taking a new initiative or some changes; I get really scared. I usually show a very strong personality but deep inside I know how fearful I feel. It takes a lot of time and effort to get up and take any action. img https://unsplash.com/photos/nMffL1zjbw4 Let me give you an example of how I feel even if it's a silly issue. I admitted my son to school this year. On…

Losing the game is not an option! Losing the game is not a big deal or is it? If I ask myself the same question I would probably say, it depends on what game we are in. Sometimes I let go, many times I find alternatives, and most of the time I get over it. img https://unsplash.com/photos/RLdcScGQEJ4 Why? Because there are many things which can't be controlled by me and it's for better. Think, how the world would be if we can control everything and anything! So what if you…

Imposed Ideology! I was watching the news and with no wonder, Putin popped in my feed. Maybe you also have seen his yesterday's speech. If you missed then here is what he simply means - 'he called the war to protect his country'!! *Anyway, my thought was something else. I was observing the people sitting around him, their room decoration, what they serve at the table, how they served the tea, and all. Those faces were praising him, they looked so happy, not a single string…

Take Pride as a Woman, Don't feel Less! Women - this word is slang with many cultures, no? Here people say, wear bangles if a man fails to prove his manliness for any reason. There are many other examples I and you can give where this same thing happen. Women mean powerless, good for nothing, a burden to society! *Just a decade ago, the status of women in society was quite different from what we see now. I'm not talking about the so-called third-world counties but in…

Loneliness is part of Being Human! We are all born alone and die alone. But loneliness is not as simple as this quote, right? Especially when we have no idea how to deal with it, how to draw a fine line between being alone and feeling lonely. No one usually tells or educates us about this. So when life gets hard for some reason, many of us can't cope anymore. Because there is always be a thrust to be social no matter if we are too introverted, no? img…

To the 'Garden Center' to buy some more plants for my balcony garden. I step into the garden center and at that very moment, it felt like I entered a whole different world, a world full of colors! *I was looking for buying some new plants for my balcony garden for a few months. But was not sure what to add as it's a small space inside my apartment so not every plant can survive there. Also, I don't get much time to take care of the sensitive plants. I have visited this…

Spring adds new life and beauty to this Concrete Jungle! Even this city of highrises can't escape the touch of spring! *Seems like, spring unlocked the beauty of nature. Though it's not that much visible here compared to our countryside. But what we get to see is enough. I mean, seeing random flowers and beautiful huge trees full of red leaves adds a different vibe, no?* Nowadays whenever I went outside, getting to see the falling leaves on the streets became my habit. I…

Self Love can fill your emptiness, can heal you... When you lose someone you love, your heart creates an empty space inside it. No matter how hard you try but you can't fill that space. People who have gone through this know very well what I'm talking about. *It's like a black hole, you know where the hole is and will strive to pass by it carefully so that the hole can't take you down. It's a continuous struggle with our emotions. And it always feels like no amount of…

Let's make an easy peasy Burger with me. 🍔🍔 Who doesn't love burgers? I guess we all love it, right? Making burgers at home is not my thing. I usually don't buy the frozen patty so it's tough to make the whole process at home. Sometimes I grab whatever is available to me and make a burger or sandwich with it. And I guess, we all have done this. But this time, I tried to make it a little better. Let me share my process. But before that I want to tell you that, I didn't follow…

Gender Role | One incident that I recently faced and my Thoughts on this! *It's safe to say that some of us still carry a primitive understanding of gender. I understand the reason behind it. But again, it's high time to change our minds or at least understand the impact of our actions.* img https://unsplash.com/photos/iDCtsz-INHI Let me share the incident so it will be clear to you. I usually take my son cycling during the afternoon where around 15 children of different…

What a day! The sun didn't make me happy this time. The weather was quite for the past couple of days. It seems like suddenly summer decided to ruin the peace of nature! Last Saturday was my vaccination date for my second dose. I don't know why I choose this center as it's far away from my living area. Maybe because that time vaccine was not highly available, all nearby centers were overcrowded and I decided to choose this so I don't have to wait in line. I was not wrong on…

Saturday was full of surprises! 🌻🌻 *Finally, we had a much-needed family vacation. Because of this ongoing pandemic, we had to cancel too many family tour plans. Also, not everyone can take a leave and arrange the time to get together. But finally, after many years we got the opportunity to go on a short trip near Dhaka.* It felt so much more than just a tour. As I stay away from my parents and most of my close relatives whenever they come to visit us feels like a festival.…

If you visit me I would like to... I live in the capital city - Dhaka where hustle and bustle is an everyday thing. However, there are some charms of this city that attack me most. If anyone comes to visit me I try to take them to the things that made me fall in love with this city. So if you visit me I would probably do the same. There are some traditional 'must-do' but my lists are a bit different from them. Let me show you... The campus of the University of Dhaka is…

A piece of cloud. *I have been waiting for a very long to have a piece of cloud. No, I don't ask for much nor the whole sky. Only a piece of cloud would make my heart quiet down!* Yeah, you can call me crazy. Who would've asked for less, no? Nonetheless, I want only a piece of cloud. Sometimes it feels like I can't suit anymore, it feels like a continuous struggle to fit in this hustle and bustle whether my mind is screaming for some peace. Am I getting old? Maybe. Or maybe…

We are so much more than we think! I always question myself about my potential. I know it's not a healthy habit. But on the other hand, it lets me focus on what more I could do, it lets me explore more about myself. *Yesterday, I was talking with an old friend of mine who is looking for switching her job for some workplace issues and I was encouraging her. While talking with her, I noticed how much effort I'm putting to comfort her and all where I don't do that to myself…

A beautiful sunset and some thoughts. *We are the generation that witnesses the infrastructure of our country closely. 20 years ago things were very different. The roads, the cities were more like the countryside than a modern metropolis. Now, when I look around I see a totally different look everywhere.* I'm from the Northern part of Bangladesh and I can clearly remember the hype among everyone about the 'Jamuna Bridge'. At that time, everyone used to talk about how much it…

Fulfilled my craving for some spicy food 🍗🥪🍟 It's hard to avoid the craving for food when every once in a while some ad pops up in our feed, right? I'm usually not the one who falls for this. But this time I thought as it's been a while I didn't visit a restaurant or order food online, also, our fasting month is about to come, I thought, why I don't try some spicy fast food before 'Ramadan'! Here comes the food that I ordered... I ordered from two different restaurants for…

50 Years and... We as a country became half a century old. It's nothing much as a country probably but for us, it's a freedom for more than 50 years. That's a lot. *We are proud, yeah. But there is something that always bothers us. Many people say, we have to pay collateral damage for anything like even development. I don't know why I can't agree with you. From my point of view, we are progressive on infrastructure development which is easy to eyewash but we are far away…

Neither too much nor too little. *I can remember, as a middle child how I always used to feel left out. I'm not going to argue if my parent's treatment was fair enough to me. But one thing I can certainly remember; my father used to comfort me saying 'middle' is good. Everyone loves to be in the 'middle'. People like to take the middle ground, people expect something in the middle; not too much or too less, etc.* I didn't understand much about this back then but the more I'm…

This is how I prepared Tagliatelle/Flat Ribbon Pasta 🍝🍝 *What I love most about pasta is, it's a very flexible recipe. There are so many ways to prepare a single type of pasta, it's like a never-ending taste test. As our cousin is a bit different with having a lot of curry and spicey flavors so I usually do some experiments as well.* I know, some people hate seeing incorporating 'their' food into some other cousins. But for me, it's okay. As long as I'm not…

The Manifestation of greed. Greed has a different form and shapes even ten years ago. Now, it became part of life, part of the pride, and to some extent everything. You may not relate with this that much because what I'm calling greed is 'lifestyle', 'wellbeing' for many. Isn't it unfortunate that we are so much into materialism that we prefer 'object' over everything else? Img https://unsplash.com/photos/znZFuVcGen4 Let me give you an example. *If you go on any popular…
