Where have the beautiful girls gone? Have all of them gone to Heaven? No, some have gone to their in-laws’ houses too, and some others are taking preparation to go……. Not fair!!

…….. দাদা সত্যি কথাই বলেছে! হাসবি না, একদম হাসবি না বলছি…….এমনিতেই মেজাজ খারাপ হয়ে আছে!

…….. Masima, just as the same way as you mean.

…….. No Sir, I’m on the search to be one.

…….. Dada, you see her?! OMG!! Show me, please!! I’ll be ever grateful!!……. Hahahaha……. Happy Weekend, Dada!

…….. God Bless You, dear. Surely, I’ll arrange a party for you if your words come true.

…….. Surely, you’re beautiful! Some fortunate person did find you for this very reason.

…….. She really doesn’t have to wait. I’m already waiting here to relieve her of that ‘painful wait’….lol

…….. So blessed you’re! I wish you a lifelong stay with her in your sweet home.

…….. আরে বাবা! বানিয়ে দেয়াও যায় নাকি? জানতাম নাতো! যদি সত্যিসত্যি যায়, তবে বানিয়ে দিলে বড়ই কৃতার্থ হই!……… হাহাহা

John Denver, one of the Legend Singer/Composer of Country Song. Obviously, he is one of the top20 singers of the last century. He is my all-time favourites. I have collected almost 200 songs of John Denver. you may collect from me. Believe me buddy. I couldn’t delete even a single song of Denver. All of those songs touch my soul. My most favorite songs are:

1.Sunshine

2.Annie’s Song

3.Country Road Take me home

4.Goodbye again

5.Somedays are diamonds

6.Leaving on a jet plane

7.Sweet surrender

8.Thank God I’m a country boy

and a lot more…

কোনটা বাদ দিয়ে কোনটার কথা বলি! এরকম শিল্পী ১০০০ বছরে একজন পাওয়া যায়!

Chris de Burg এর গানগুলোও অসাধারণ! They are real and raw musician. Hats off to them!

Swapan…….. Thank you dost for your valuable suggestion. I know very well that you’re quite a professional listener of those wonderful tracks. Once you were just always with those treasures, and I also got some inspiration from our conversation about music. I can still remember your passion, your composition, and sheer sense of music appreciation! I’ll collect all those tracks of Denver when I meet you. He is just fabulous! And, Burg also shares some common mastery with Denver. I didn’t listen to him much, but I’ll as you’ve suggested to do so. Take care.

: Hey! How is your picnic?……এবার কোনো টিশার্ট দেয়নি? অবশ্য আর টিশার্ট চাইবো না।

: Today’s picnic was just fabulous!! The greatest show, indeed!!……… হ্যাঁ, এবার ২টা টিশার্ট দিয়েছে, দারুণ দুটোই!……….টিশার্ট আর চাইবেন না? আচ্ছা, ঠিক আছে।

খবরে প্রকাশ, বছরে মেধাপাচার ৬০%, বঞ্চিত দেশ!

It’s true. But I rather prefer being in my country. It’s better to be a first-class citizen of a second-class country than to be a second-class citizen of a first-class country apart from performing the core responsibilities to the country and countrymen. Who will return the 8 lacs to your country if you don’t?

…….. Yes, there should be some strict contracts, I think.

…….. Thank you for sharing your experience so nicely. Maybe you’ve seen people who are really happy with their living and livelihood. But, so far as I know, most of the deserving engineers aren’t happy with their present condition. They work very hard for making their condition better. And, the same engineers are never willing to work so hard in Bangladesh and end up blaming their country. If they lived here and worked in the same way, their social status would be better. Some of them even simply disrespect this country. It hurts, brother……… And, the calculation of sending 8 lacs isn’t always true, buddy. But, the calculation of spending 8 lac for them is always true! And, the people who are really helping this country, are very few in number. Just think, about the others who don’t bother about their commitment. They are in majority. If anyone has the mental setup to serve his country, he can do it no matter whether he’s in the country or not. But the picture is just the opposite. I’ve no problems if the graduates from the private universities care about it or not. But, the graduates from public universities must be compelled by the Govt to serve this country. They must sign a contract that they’ll return after completing higher studies. Or, they should be brought under specific duties and liabilities mentioning what and how they need to contribute. India Govt has already taken some measures like this. And, your experience with that NGO is really nice to hear about. Just think, if those patriots came back to Bangladesh after staying abroad 8-10 years, what the scenario would be. It must have been better. We now want some icons and skilled people for our people, for our country.

It’s not easy to resist the temptation of being the best in the easiest tasks. And, it’s what kills us…….. (shared from my personal experience)

What if we don’t find others already experienced? Or, we neglect walking in other people’s shoes? I walked, and I suffered. I knew sufferings teach. And, the lesson is always wonderful. Not a single moment is useless when we enjoy and smile. Even if it’s, we’re always sure of having useful ones in future.

Do you really know who cares for you? Recognizing a friend who truly cares for you, is really tough.

Most of the people are nice here. But, in my case, even it so happened that I was bad-tempered, couldn’t recognize some and just removed them. I still regret for it. I know, I did wrong to them. I’m sorry…….. However, some people look nicer when they’re not in my friend-list. It’s always better to not to stay close to them.

Masima, I can partly guess what problem you faced. It was not fair, for sure. Those ‘frenemies’ are really dangerous. There are some helpful persons too. I’ve met some divine-like personalities on Facebook. I don’t know why they cared for such an insignificant entity like me, but some common feeling made them do so. In fact, everyone else meets such wonderful people too. It’s difficult to recognize such people. I often can’t do it. It’s an art…….. Bad World? Hahahaha masima. We were born in a Good Earth. You can remember? Huh? We made it bad afterwards, and continue calling it bad bad bad…….. I don’t know why some among us like to see it bad, why they make it so. But they do. It’s not what we’re here for.

……… I sincerely wish you always couldn’t resist to join me. Yes, I mean it……… You’d such wonderful friends as you really deserve their company. What you give, comes back to you. It really works in case of relationship. I’ve known you for quite a long time, and I know how aptly you can communicate with others’ thoughts. It’s a great skill! I don’t know why you’ve lost some friends from your list. Maybe their presence was desirable no more. I can clearly remember that most of my nice friends who are not in my list now, aren’t there as I couldn’t be so tactful about relationship. I’m often fooled by my emotions (I was telling you this the other day while chatting)…….. Feeling nothing harms, feeling bad kills!!

…….. If you don’t hurt people, it doesn’t mean that they won’t hurt you too. I’ve experience. It’s a world of better things in the worst forms. Several bad things happen to good people here. Good people do good things but it doesn’t make sure that they get good things in return. Believe me masima, such go on things! No justice comes from asking, WHY ME? I’M NOT THAT BAD!!!

…….. Too good!! Be always so mind-blowing! Do it always as you’re now doing!! Happy Mind, Good Heart, Better Feelings!!

…….. আমি তো খুঁজতে বলিনি, চিনতে বলেছি।…….. “বন্ধু তোমার পথের সাথীকে চিনে নিয়ো।”………

……… How can I tell you something I don’t know? Maybe, someone somewhere sometime will be there to care for me. It’s really nice to have a nice person who cares for you and whom you also care for. God is still writing the love story for me. I’ve not seen the script yet. I guess ‘she’ has not seen it either!

…….. Masima, thank you. God bless you and your family.

…….. Truer than true!! I can realize it more now as I’m not with my parents. Most of the phone calls I receive every day tell me mainly the needs of the callers, except those of my parents. They only need to know how I’m. No one on earth will ever care for you so much, I can bet!

……… Partially true. Some exist in this world who care even more than we deserve, more than we really want them to do. Such friends are rarely found, though. When they appear in your life, you’ll really have the meaning of life and living. It’s a heavenly feeling, brother.

…….. Is it really? You’ve seen life better and more than I’ve. Why nobody wants to be my friend? If I’m, will they deny too? Is it not really possible to be a true friend? You might have some self-interests as others. If you meet anyone who also have some common feelings like you or is agree to share everything you want or he/she wants, can’t you still be friends? Is world really so cruel? Please, share your thoughts and ideas, brother.

……… The most difficult question: Do you like me? Yes, it’s really difficult to answer honestly. Ok, let me be honest. There happened nothing yet to dislike you or even there happened nothing yet that made me think whether I like you or not. If I consider just a natural approach, I must like you as you’ve always been kind and nice to me so far. And, I can remember very clearly that you provided some types mental support and also suggestion during our long virtual stay through Facebook. It’s really nice to think and feel. We’ve differences and sometimes our mutual sharing also conveyed it, but we were never hostile to each other. I don’t know you personally, neither do you. If I did or you did, we might prove more friendly than we are now. The opposite case might be true, but we will be solely liable if it proves so!! Thanks.

…….. দুনিয়াকে খুব বেশি দেখিনি এখনো। যতটুকু দেখেছি, আমার খারাপ মনে হয়নি। বরং, আমি নিজেকে আমার বেশিরভাগ কষ্টের জন্য দায়ী মনে করি। সামনে কী হবে, জানি না, ভাই। দোয়া করবেন, যেন সবাইকে নিয়ে ভাল থাকতে পারি।

Thank you Tanveer bhai for sharing your opinions with me. Your words often help me learn newer things. They make me think. (Can you remember you once suggested me to take preparation for MBA @ IBA? I was free at that moment and you suggested me to go for this value-adding degree. Can you remember? I can remember it clearly. And, I did accordingly. Now I’m doing my MBA @ IBA. Your valuable suggestion worked, brother.)

Yes, that’s what I always try to do — to be a good person. It’s even more important to me than to be a successful person. It’s a treasure, I think. I’ve seen my father and so I know to be happy you must be a good person and be good to others too. I’m pleased to know that you also do have the same belief…….. Thank you for giving your cell no. Mine is……. Take care.

………. It’s never easy to be ‘truly’ a bad person. If you really are, you’re surely cheating either Satan or God. Why had you not been born before ‘Paradise Lost’ was written? Where did you get those GREAT cheat-codes, brother?

PS…….. It was really nice (or even nicer than I’d thought it to be) talking to you over phone. Thank you, brother.

দাদা, আপনার সাথে কফি এনজয় করবো—এ তো আমার পরম সৌভাগ্য! জানি, একদিন নিশ্চয়ই সেই সুন্দর দিনটার দেখা আমি পাবো……… কয়েকটা অ্যান্থলজি ছিল পাশে, সেইগুলোর পাতাগুলো উল্টে দেখছিলাম। আমার সাথে ছিলেন কিটস, আর্নল্ড, নেরুদা, ড্রাইডেন……..সুনীল, বিষ্ণু দে, শক্তি, জীবনানন্দ, সুধীন্দ্রনাথ……..আর কয়েকটা অনুবাদ কবিতা (এই কালেকশনটা অসাধারণ!)…….. খুব খারাপ লাগে যখন ভাবি, রিডিং হ্যাবিটটা কমে যাচ্ছে, তখন পুরনো দিনগুলিকে মিস করি ভীষণভাবে, প্রিয় মানুষেরা স্মৃতির দরোজায় কড়া নেড়ে যায়……..আবার কখনোবা মনে হয়, এইতো জীবন!

ভাল থাকবেন, দাদা।

Have we ever thought that when we tell someone, “You don’t have the ability to do it”, and he/she really fails to do it, we also share some responsibility of his/her failure? Do we have the right to do so?

Who am I to discourage a person if I can’t help him/her? Either be nice to him/her, or just leave him/her to his/her own destiny. Sushanta Paul My experiment with the truth tells me so. Whenever we hold down the spirit of someone, he can hardly take care of what he does. It’s better to do nothing for someone than to do bad to him. When we insult someone’s worth, we actually show our inability to find out his worth. A man with a good personality can never do this, I think.

April 16, 2011

Be nice, or just leave. I don’t care (no matter, whoever you’re!) I’m quite happy with myself and my family……. Thank you.

…….. Just walk, brother. Be sure that you’re walking and you’re feeling happy along with others watching you walk.

Dear friends!

I know I always try to be nice to everyone (I’m not sure, whether I’m always)……. My friends often say, “Sushanta, be nice only to nice people”…….. But, friends, I know I can’t help being that nice to all. Is it my fault? Will we live so long as to spend some time in just hating? I’m sure, we won’t!

Why they don’t care? What’s my fault? Why are they not so nice to me as I’m to them?

So, finally, I’ve just decided to conclude, “Be nice, or just leave.” Rajeev…….. When I was not?! Birds of the same feather flock together, you know.

…….. Don’t think about that word, just feel.

…….. Never mind. Intelligent people are also rare among happy people.

A man threw his wife to a pond full of crocodiles. Now, he has been sent to the court and he is on trial for being cruel towards animals. (just a joke)

…….. নারীপ্রীতি? সে আবার কী? তুই তো জানিস দোস্ত, I hate girls and they hate me…lol…. তবু ব্যাপার হচ্ছে, আমি কারো মনে কষ্ট দিই না, কারণ……. A heart that has been hurt is like a rose that never blooms!…….আমার হৃদয়ের বিশালতা নিয়ে তো তোর কোনো সন্দেহ থাকার কথা নয়! তারপরও যদি থাকে, তবে তোর জন্য আমার সাজেশন হলো, তোর প্রিয় গার্লফ্রেন্ডদের সাথে কথা বলে দেখ। আর যদি তাতেও কাজ না হয়, তবে অন্তত তোর বিলাভডের সাথে কথা বল। আমি জানি, ও তোর সাথে মিথ্যে বলে না!……..আর……..হ্যাঁ ব্যাটা, তোরে আমি শ্রদ্ধা করি…….তুই জানতি না? (তোর বৌ আর শালীরেও আমি অনেক শ্রদ্ধা করবো, আশা করি; শালা, তখন দেখবি চোখে জল আসা কারে কয়!!)

What’s the best thing, you think, you can buy or do with your money? Friends, please share….

…….. Right you’re! What an irony! People praise us sincerely when we have little money. They just become flatterers when we’ve enough of it. They kill us every moment by being much more loyal than they really need to be. And, foolishly enough, we like rather to be flattered than to be praised. No matter, we do good or bad, they just keep flattering.

…….. So nicely stated, Sir! Helping others is the nicest thing to do. Whenever we help others, we actually serve the purpose for which we were sent to this earth. It’s a great feeling! Nothing can beat such a feeling. Being kind to others brings the best gift for us. Life itself is a gift. The more we give, the more we receive. Every work of kindness has its own reward.

………. Didi, let me sum up in this way…………… You buy furniture. You tell yourself, “This is the last sofa I will ever need in my life.” Buy the sofa, then for a couple years you’re satisfied that no matter what goes wrong, at least you’ve got your sofa issue handled. Then the right set of dishes. Then the perfect bed. The drapes. The rug. Then you’re trapped in your lovely nest and the things you used to own, now they own you…………… Yes, it’s what really happen!!

We don’t really know what we want —- it’s a great problem. I think, the greater one is, we can’t always want what we really want…….. Look at me. You’ll never find a better example, I can bet!! hahahaha………

……….. So nicely observed and written, Sir! We often forget there is no pocket in a piece of ‘kafan’, yet we go on amassing wealth like a HELL!! Do we really need so many things as our cultures make us think and believe? What’s the use of gaining the whole world losing our own souls? Have we ever wondered who will cry when we die? What have we done for them? Can money buy the love of my mother? Can money buy the strength of my father & brother? How much do we really need to have a meaningful reach to grave? These things often haunt my mind and I’m very happy finding you my soul-mate………….. Yes, there’s one thing I’m really crazy for and that’s —- books!! They make my heaven and my family & friends make it worth-living!!

……… Why are you so tired? Is life not a gift you’re entitled to? It’s a gift whereupon peace rests. Look within your soul, it’s just there! Do something you never did, be out of that circle you used to be in. Peace must be your sole property as no one else can enjoy your peace on your behalf. It’s there! Just go for it. God bless you.

…….. Don’t worry. I’ll do it after I’ve married.

Hello, is it me you’re looking for? /

I can see it in your eyes /

I can see it in your smile /

You’re all I’ve ever wanted, (and) my arms are open wide /

……….

And I want to tell you so much, I love you……. /………..

Are you somewhere feeling lonely, or is someone loving you?………….. (I just crazily feel like telling these lines to someone whenever I listen to this song!! Hats off, Richie!!)

……….. It’s important to tell nice lines to someone when you crazily feel like telling, but it’s more important that she really cares for those wonderful lines. It’s better to live alone than to feel miserable for someone else or to make someone else feel miserable.

……… Such songs are written not with words but with heart. Yes, nothing ever stirred the soul more. How much more I need to love someone to say such a wonderful Hello to her? I want to that master of soul. What more is there in life? What’s the use of living if I don’t find someone to die for?………. S I G H…..

……… You’ve seen the harsh sides and so you’re safe from seeing more. You’ve got that experience. It’s great. Right? What’s life for if we fail to live it? It’s life. Let’s live it! Let’s measure our life with the sips of coffee. Let’s drink and enjoy every drop of the cup.

If you love someone and they leave you forever, set them free, they weren’t yours. But, if they come back, just set them on fire!…

…….. সিচুয়েশন যা-ই হোক, এই বুদ্ধিটা আমার ব্যাপক পছন্দ হইসে! এই শাস্তি দিলে আর সেকেন্ড তাইম পালানোর চিন্তাও কেউ করবে না!

…….. I guessed it earlier. I can read (some) people.

……… If love feels like HEAVEN, it should hurt like HELL. I’m not that gentleman.

……… Ok, send someone to buy some kerosene for you. (I know, your lover is coming back.)…….

……… বেশি দেরি হয়ে গেলে, এমনও হতে পারে, হয়তো সে আর কোনো বেটার অপশন খুঁজে পাচ্ছে না, তাই অবশেষে ফিরে এসেছে! এমন ক্ষেত্রে তাকে রিফিউজ করাই ভাল!

…….. Nothing can warm your heart more than the fire of your words if cast properly on the person by whom you were dumped once, you know!

…….. Definitely it is! Even the ice of married life is more dangerous than the fire of love! Breaking the ice is much more difficult than extinguishing the fire, always, literally or figuratively!! And, in case of marriage?…….. God Bless!!

…….. Living in hell must be easier than the fire of words! If someone makes you feel like hell, just offer them a visit to the Eden(!) of your wrath. They’ll always seek for even hell as the better place to be in, to be out of there!

…….. Warning : Don’t try this at home. Your hubby will never make the same mistake of marrying again! Not always emotion wins over experience! So, don’t worry. He must return….lol

………… And, to make them yours forever, just set them on fire!…lol

Who dares to read James Joyce?! OMG!! I’d rather not!!

……. Congrats! Now try……. Finnegan’s Wake!! It’s the most horrible book ever written, I think!! I started reading it and just stopped. 27 is not a charming age to lose all the teeth, is it?……… God bless this Irish soul!!

When a girl stares at you so romantically, don’t always think she has fallen in love with you. Maybe, she is trying to learn how romantically she should stare at a boy to make him think so……. Yes, it’s true!

……… My experiment with TRUTH reveals this…

……. দোস্তো, কী আর করবো, বল, এক্সপেরিয়েন্স করার উপায় নাই, তাই বাধ্য হয়ে এক্সপেরিমেন্ট করি!……

………বন্ধু, এখন গাড়িতে, চট্টগ্রাম যাচ্ছি। গাড়িতে গান চলছে, ‘আগার তুম মিল যাও, জামানা ছোড় দেয়েঙ্গে হাম’ আর ড্রাইভার গাড়ি ড্রাইভ করছে পাগলের মতো স্পিডে, জানি না উনি এমন কাকে পেলেন যে উনার জামানা ছেড়ে দিতে ইচ্ছে করছে! উনাকে বারবার বলেও বোঝানো যাচ্ছে না যে আমার আপাতত জামানা ছাড়ার কোনো ইচ্ছাই নাই, আরো সময় লাগবে!………দোয়া করিস, বন্ধু!

…….. দোস্ত, চিন্তা তো চিন্তাই, আমরাই একে কনস্ট্রাকটিভ বানাই, আবার ডেস্ট্রাক্টিভও বানাই। যা-ই হোক, তোর চুল পড়ে যাওয়ার বিষয়টা শুনে আমারও বেশ চিন্তা হচ্ছে। আ,আর মনে হয়, তুই এইসব শেয়ার মার্কেট-টার্কেটের ভুজুং-ভাজুং উছিলা না ধরে একটা ভাল ডাক্তার দেখা। আফটার অল, বিয়েশাদি তো করতে হবে, তাই না? তোর জন্য আমরা আবার টাকওয়ালা মেয়ে কোথায় পাবো, বলতো দেখি! আর তুই যেসব উচ্চমার্গীয় চিন্তাভাবনা করিস, তাতে তোর চুল তো বটেই, তালুও থাকার কথা নয়! So, think simple, be happy.

………দোস্ত, তুই ইদানিং অনেক বেশি কিছু মনে রাখতে বলছিস। আমরা জানি, তোর ভার্সিটির টিচার হওয়ার কথা একটা খায়েশ ছিল (তুই অবশ্য একটু লবিং করলে হয়ে যেত।)……. দুনিয়ার সবচাইতে ইন্টারেস্টিং বিষয়গুলোর একটা হল মেয়েদের নাম মনে রাখা, আমি সেটাই পারি না আবার তোর এত কঠিন কঠিন কথাগুলো কীভাবে মনে রাখবো?……..আর মানুষের কৌতূহল তো তার যখন থেকে বোঝার বয়স হয়, তখন থেকেই প্রেগন্যান্ট! আগ্রহ জন্মানোটা তো বন্ধু ইচ্ছে, তাগিদ আর প্রয়োজনের উপর নির্ভর করে। মেয়েদের ব্যাপারে এই নির্ভরতার চোখগুলোকে আমি আপাতত কন্সট্রেইন্ড করে রেখেছি!! ……….হাহাহাহাহা

Will my wife be as happy as Kate Middleton is now? Are all the brides so happy?………. (Facebook told me to share what’s on my mind and I just couldn’t help sharing it! Sorry!!)

…….. Let me guess her happy now. At least, it makes me happy.

And, if my princess is happier, I must be happiest. That would be a grand marriage! God bless you with more power of good foretelling!!

I’m really impressed at the gorgeous yet simple blend of this royal marriage!! It’s good enough to persuade you to marry!!

……… Masima, why the brides become wives if such transformation makes them unhappy? Better for them to stay brides forever, and be happy.

……… There lies an extraordinary couple in every ordinary couple. And, just being simple can make you gorgeous. You needn’t be gorgeous to be really gorgeous. That’s the law of marriage, I think……. Anyway, let us wish them Good Luck!!

Friends! Is it true that almost all the single bachelors must marry others’ girlfriends or ex-girlfriends?

…….. A man dreams to be the first lover of a woman, and a woman dreams to be the last lover of a man! True!!

…….. হ্যাঁ ভাই, ব্যাপক চিন্তায় আছি! কার না কার গার্লফ্রেন্ডকে বিয়া কইরা ঘরে লইয়া আসি!

……… I read a poem long ago and probably it was about……. Why a caged bird sings……. Hmm……. Your comment makes me recall it!…….. Anyway, it’s all about love, and love is all about making sacrifice & compromise!! Marrying a girlfriend of anyone else is unethical. You can never be happy with a person who is in love with someone else other than you. People just make compromises and take happiness for granted in this way. I don’t know whether things are really so easy. But I want to be for someone who is purely ready and made for me. Maybe, I’m living in Utopia!!

……… Well, a girlfriend of someone else must be married to a boyfriend of someone else. It’s the balance! It’s fair and it should be so. Why it’s not so? Why? Not fair to get a girlfriend of someone else if you’ve not any! And, a girlfriend doesn’t remain only a girlfriend! Horrible!!

…….. Yes, it’s a ‘versa’tile ‘vice’ considering vice versa!!

I’m planning to learn a foreign language. Can anyone please suggest me a language (like French, Spanish, German, Chinese or something else) that might add some extra value to my career? Thanks.

Dear Sushanta,

Delighted to hear from you. Thank you so much. Since I teach, can suggest that you should learn Mandarin over French. The world is fast changing and China is driving that change, so learning Mandarin is a great idea. Shauli is joking of course. Women are very good at languages and had she wanted to, she would have picked up Mandarin as well as she has picked up Spanish…

: ভাইয়া, কেমন আছেন? স্টাডি কেমন চলছে? অনেকদিন আপনার কোনো খোঁজখবর নেয়া হয় না। সরি। ছোটভাইকে তো ভুলেই গেছেন!

: ভাই, এইতো আছি কোনো রকম। স্টাডি চলছে ওর মতন, আমি চলছি আমার মতন। কী যে বল তুমি! সরি বলতে হবে না।……….. like elder brother, like younger brother.

Teacher : What’s the difference between an orange and an apple……. Student : The colour of an orange is orange, but the colour of an apple is not apple.

…….. Your presence here reminds me of Neel…….. Such a cute kid.

……..একবার হয়েছে কী, আমি আমার আপুর বাসায় দাওয়াত খেতে গেছি…….খাওয়া শেষ করে যখন বেসিনে হাত ধুচ্ছিলাম, তখন আমার তিন বছরের ভাগ্নি বলে উঠলো, মা মা, দেখো না, মামা আমাদের বেসিনের সব জল খেয়ে ফেলছে!….হাহাহা……..কথাটা মনে পড়লে এখনো দারুণ হাসি পায়!

………. Oh ole ole my cho chweet didi………. You know, I’m always a hardcore admirer of yours…….. And so, my thanks to his parents surely comes first!!

Dear Friends! It’s nice to share with you that I have qualified for Master of Development Studies (MDS) Admission for the session 2011-2012 at Dhaka University. Now, I’m doing MBA at IBA in the same university in the session 2010-2011. Is it academically permissible to continue two Master’s program at the same university in two different sessions? Please help me decide it. Thanks.

……… I’m ready to do it. I’m just thinking about the administrative barriers. It feels so nice to hear about my sweet CUET. Thank you.

…………..দোস্তোরা, প্রেমকরা দূরে থাক, আমি তো ছ্যাঁকা খাওয়ার জন্যও কোনো মেয়েকে খুঁজে পাচ্ছি না; আর তোরা বলছিস বিয়ের কথা! যা-ই হোক, তোদের এই বন্ধুবাৎসল্য আমাকে মুগ্ধ করেছে, আমি ধন্যবাদ দেয়ার ভাষা হারিয়ে ফেলেছি……..কিন্তু সমস্যা হলো, তোদের এই দারুণ কথাগুলো পড়ার পর আমার আর পড়াশোনা করতেই ইচ্ছে করছে না!

May 31, 2011

এত পড়াশোনা করছ, এবার এই মাটিতে বসেপড়া ছবিটা সরিয়ে চশমাপরা সিরিয়াস ছবি লাগাও, বোনপো! All the best in whatever you do…….

: Thank you, masima, for this wall-post……….চশমা লাগানোর বা না-লাগানোর মতো কিছুই হয়নি এখনো……… আমার প্রাপ্তি এমনিতেই খুব কম, তাই এই কথাগুলি শুনলে আরো অসহায় লাগে নিজেকে!………তোমার আশীর্বাদ যেন সবসময়ই থাকে আমার সাথে—এইটুকুই শুধু চাই………..তুমি অনেক ভাল থেকো।

June 2, 2011

: দাদা, সত্যি অভিভূত হচ্ছি……অনুপ্রাণিত হচ্ছি………congrats from the core of my heart.

: Thank you brother for these words of compliment. Please pray for my ultimate success. I’ll be happiest person in the world to celebrate that dreamy day if it really comes. God bless you.

Exams are like girlfriends. Too many questions. Not enough answers. Explanations unavailable. Result is always ‘FAIL’.

………. ভাই, সেই নার্সারি থেকেই তো শুরু!……….একজামটা প্রবলেম হয়েই আছে, গার্লফ্রেন্ড না! লোকে প্রেম করে, প্রেমে পড়ে; আমি তো ছ্যাঁকা খাওয়ার জন্যও কোনো মেয়ে খুঁজে পাই না!……….. ~~ SIGH ~~!!

………… Hahaha…….. good, good………. you’re developing mum-in-law syndrome! Neel must be happy when he reaches 25!! My mom still thinks other girls as her daughters, not daughters-in-law. grrrrrr…………….. If GF phase means the bachelor level, I’ve not yet started graduation/bachelor course……….. I’m afraid, probably I’ll have to complete masters without taking a bachelor degree!!….lolzz

: At the Gym I have this guy who reminds me of you…every time I see him I give him the widest smile…….. in my mind it’s you………. very similar looks……. Next time I’ll collect my guts and click his pix…….. he may think I’m hitting on him lol…..but I’ll do it..

:……Didi, very interesting!! Let me share 5 facts with you:

# I never attended a gym.

# My younger brother is the only person whom I’ve found so far resembling me. (Some of my friends say I resemble Uttam Kumar, a legend of Bengali film……….. I sincerely hope they aren’t kidding while they say so…..lol)

# No girl ever tried to take a snap of me.

# A sister always finds her brother more handsome than any other guys.

# And, I’m really happy to feel that I’m on your mind as you tried to match my face with someone else.

And……….. from now on, I’ll try to find someone taking after you!! Thanks a lot my sweet, lovely, mind-blowing, dear sister for thinking that I’m the more handsome. I like truthful persons…..lol

If you get poor marks in the exam, be sure that your teacher couldn’t understand your creative writing. Don’t worry, it’s his problem, not yours…….. I hate memorizing things! Grrrrr….

…….. It was the time for me not to understand. Now, it is the time for my teacher not to understand……. What’s the lesson? Well, you can’t be happy forever by making another person unhappy…..lol

……… Don’t worry. You can never be unique in scoring low the exams. You’re never alone, brother. I’m with you.

June 22, 2011

: Congrats!! Go forward for achieving the target.

……… Dear bhaiya, thanks a lot. I’m so happy to see you here on my wall. My viva voce exam (30th BCS) is likely to be held on the next month. Please pray for me.

……… I was born ordinary. I don’t want to die ordinary……. I feel I’m just like a worm in this world. No one really cares whether I live or die. Why should they care? What have I done for them? I’m living for myself, and I’m going to die for myself. Then, was it God’s blunder to place me on this beautiful earth? I’m not blind, I’m not deaf, I’m not dumb, I’m not handicapped…….. I’m just what I need to be. What’s the use of being so, then? What’s the use of my heavy-weighted degrees if they can serve only me? Why should others care for those stupid degrees? Why??

…….. Well, but, how long?…….. SIGH!!……… I’m sorry, probably I’m on the wrong track…….. I really feel helpless…

……… I don’t know whether your comment is sarcastic! I hope it’s not. If it’s not, it must be wrong, anyway! You know it better, dost…….. Just think what I’m, what I was, what I’m supposed to be…

…….. Very thoughtful you’re as always. I’ve liked your idea. A very simple approach towards life can make a big difference. But, is it really easy to be simple? I tried many times to have an easy view towards life and failed. What is to blame? My education? Who are to blame? People around me?…….. No no, it’s simply I who am to blame!…….. I know I’m one of the very few fortunate ones on earth who have better lives. Is it why I was sent to this earth? Not caring for others? Just meeting death when I die?…….. Oh, the thoughts! They hurt! They really hurt!!

……… I’m not underestimating myself……. I’m just wondering why people around me are estimating me……. What if I were not here? Could I add a smile on their face? My parents, my brother, my relatives, my friends, my well-wishers…….. All are paying me much more than they should, much more than I deserve now. Honour unearned, yet paid hurts me much more than dishonour — my sincere confession.

………… Bhai, I can’t agree with you on the point that my capability is higher than yours as there is no yardstick to measure it; but I like your humbleness…………. And, I often feel like contacting Netaji and other great minds; SIGH!! I can’t. I wish I could read them and thus meet their minds.

When the success rate is higher? When people tell others about their own plans and goals, or when they don’t? Friends, what do your experience and idea say?

………. Sir, a recent study also suggests so…….. But usually I tell others about my plans………. Should I try to change this habit?

………. Sir, that’s a nice suggestion. But I’ve already told many of my goals and targets; let’s see whether they meet success; I hope they will. But, from now on I’ll try to follow your advice and resist my popular temptation of telling others. But I really met some of my goals (not so BIG, though) by the approach I used to follow………. But, the one you’ve suggested, sounds the better.

Keep it secret & your energy gets focused on your target….tell it to others & energy gets dissipated!

Dear friends, when you see a person for the first time, what part (grooming, look, modesty etc) of his appearance attracts you most? Please share….

…….. Modesty is the greatest ornament……. But, to make, what people call ‘First Impression’, some other qualities also do matter, I think.

…….. Just think, you’re going to recruit a person for your organization. What could be your preference?

When you meet anyone for a job interview first time or each subsequent time…….. the “clean appearance” which includes hair, nails, shoes etc…….. just “Clean”…….. does not require fancy labels.

……… Very scrutinized view. I’ve really liked your way of judgement. Thank you, madam, for writing about your idea.

…….. It’s nice to know that you hate to be a hypocrite. I also share the same spirit…….. White beard? First Impression? Young Man with White Beard to be impressed with? Sir, who likes to see coloured beard, I wonder!!

……..

Eyes talk!!

This comes to my mind every time whenever I think of Suchittra Sen. She performed best when she didn’t perform rather her eyes performed. She’d the most beautiful eyes I’ve ever seen in my life…….. It’s really a difficult art to master.

: বাপ্পিদা, Are you dead or alive? Whatzz up, Bro?

: Dear Sony da, I’m alive. It’s true, I’m not kidding because I’ve not disclosed my Facebook password to anyone else yet………. Hope you’re fine. Thanks a lot for this nice post. Take care.

I’m so happy to hear that you’re now feeling yourself an asset of our country. Yes, this feeling is important and it really works!! Working for the country is the most adorable task; few people can really do it. Blaming her is easy but working for her is difficult; and I believe, you’ll be successful. Just be true to your passion. I’ll be very proud of you if you can do something for our country. God bless you.

স্যার, কেমন আছেন? অনেক দিন যোগাযোগ নাই।……ঢাকায় গিয়ে ভুলে গেলেন নাকি?

I said……. I have never seen God, but I feel Him, I love Him and He is in my heart! That’s why I love you! To my friends on Facebook, who I don’t not know in person but I love dearly…….. stay blessed, bro..

: Dear BSC………. Wow!! We’ve been friends and staying together here on Facebook for quite a long time. This co-existence has been really pleasant and hopefully, will be so forever. I sincere respect and love this mutual sharing and friendship. Some persons are always here for me who care and love me and I do the same from my soul. I love you dearly too. Stay fine and blessed too, dear sister.

…………জীবনের সত্যিসত্যি কোনো রঙ নেই, আমরাই একে রঙ দিয়ে দিই। জীবনটা বোধহয় রঙিনও নয়, বর্ণহীনও নয়; জীবনটা জীবনের মতোই; আমরাই একে রাঙাই, আবার মলিন করি।

………. I’m always in love; sometimes I just can’t (or don’t) show it. So happy to see you here. Take care.

……..খুব সুন্দর কমেন্টটা। জীবনের গল্প ওর নিজের মতো করেই লেখা হচ্ছে, কখনো গোছানো, কখনোবা ছন্নছাড়া। একই গল্প কারো জন্য সুখকর, কারো জন্য বা কষ্টকর। কে জানে, হয়তো এটাই রীতি! আমি ঠিক বুঝতে পারছি না।

……… দোস্তো, তুই অনেকদিন পর আমার ওয়ালে! বেশ ভাল লাগছে তোকে এখানে দেখে! চুয়েটের দিনগুলির কথা মনে আছে তোর? আমার আছে। কী সুন্দর ছিল সেই সময়টা! আমার জীবনটা সেই আগের মতোই রয়ে গেল; বাউন্ডুলে, ছন্নছাড়া। আমার জন্য দোয়া করিস, দোস্ত। তুই আর ভাবি অনেক ভাল থাকিস।

……….ঘটনা অন্যরকম নয়, বন্ধু। ঘটনা ভেরি সিম্পল। ঘটনা হল, মেঘেমেঘে হল বেলা।………. Yes boss! That’s it!!

সুরঞ্জনা, ওইখানে যেয়ো নাকো তুমি, বোলোনাকো কথা ওই যুবকের সাথে ; ফিরে এসো সুরঞ্জনা : নক্ষত্রের রূপালি আগুন ভরা রাতে ; ফিরে এসো এই মাঠে, ঢেউয়ে ; ফিরে এসো হৃদয়ে আমার ; দূর থেকে দূরে—আরো দূরে যুবকের সাথে তুমি যেয়ো নাকো আর। কী কথা তাহার সাথে? তার সাথে!

(সুরঞ্জনা তবুও যাবেই, কথাও বলবে, ভুল করবে। হয়তো ফিরেও আসবে না আর। আর ফিরে এলে, আমরা হাসিমুখে বলবো, It’s ok!!……….অসহ্য!)

……… কাহিনি হল, সুরঞ্জনারা আসার আগেই ফাঁকি মেরে চলে গেছে। আর আমি যুদ্ধ না করেই বীর হয়ে আছি, অভিমানভরা অধিকারবোধ নিয়ে নক্ষত্রের রাত রচনা করেই যাচ্ছি, ক্লান্তিহীন……… জানি, জীবনটা এভাবেই যাবে!

………আমার কথা বোঝার দরকার নেইরে!………আমিই বা কতটুকু বুঝি! নিজের ভাবনাগুলোর কাছে এই আমি নিজেই তো সেই কবে থেকে অচেনাই হয়ে আছি!……… ভাল থাকিস আর আমার জন্য দোয়া করিস।

……… সুরঞ্জনা হারিয়ে গেছে, আমি খুঁজে পাওয়ার আগেই! কী দরকার, ভাই? আজকাল বনলতা সেনরা আর শান্তি দেয় না, বোধহয় ওরা শান্তি চায়ও না!

সময়টা এখন বেশ ফাস্ট…….. ফাস্ট ফুড…….ফাস্ট ডেটিং…….ফাস্ট ব্রেকিং আপ……..সব কিছুই ফাস্ট। না ভাই, আমার ওতে চলবে না। তার চেয়ে, এই বেশ ভাল আছি!

…………সুরঞ্জনাই বলুন, আর নীলাঞ্জনাই বলুন, কেউ কথা রাখে না!

……… Wow! So sweet!! I really feel so happy to read some lines from you on this very special day. I’m very sorry for my late response. But I think, it’s always better late than never. So nice of you to remember me with this lovely post.

Dogs are male, cats are female!!

Proof that all dogs are male:

1. Dogs, like men, are completely predictable.

2. They are supremely interested in your nether regions and pathetically unable to hide this fact.

3. They don’t respond when you shout in their ear, but they can hear the sound of a packet containing something consumable being opened a kilometer away.

4. If you once let them hog your sofa, they will feel like they own it.

5. They eat anything. Their basic philosophy is put stuff in their mouths first, ask questions later.

6. They are intensely loyal but sometimes stray through sheer stupidity.

7. When they are not happy, they don’t say anything, but sulk and growl and knock things over.

8. They emit large amounts of gas from both ends.

9. They often consume ill-advised items until they are sick, give you a sad “never again” look, and then do the same thing again the next day.

Proof that all cats are female:

1. They are completely unpredictable.

2. They expect to be worshipped all the time.

3. They look cute but are surprisingly tough-minded creatures who make all the decisions.

4. You can call them, but you never know if they will actually turn up.

5. They leave bits of their hair all over the place.

6. They completely ignore you when you come home.

7. They take the stance that you exist solely to ensure their happiness.

It really annoys me when people forget to say thank you. Most people are no gentlemen!!

You’re a gentleman to everyone else; this never guarantees that they’ll also be gentlemen to you. But, WHY? Strange!

……….. Some people are so strange; they never bother to thank you and even hardly show any gesture of gratitude! Even the smallest favour has its own value; just think what would have happened if you had not received it. And when people forget to show even the slightest etiquette, it often seems that it was my duty to help them! Is it so? Why don’t they show that sign of ingratitude when someone was helping them? Once they’re relieved, they forget who or what made this relief happen! Disapproving!!

……… Thank you, Sir, for your presence on my wall. We can hardly go beyond our indoctrinated thoughts and ideas. And sadly enough, our national character is not so formal and polite as it should have been. Some people are really too admirable, yet most are plainly rude. I can’t bear ingratitude and indifference to favours (no matter small or big). Two things of Britishness, that I personally like, are formal approach and responsible behaviour —- totally absent among our people………… The link of the clip really made me sad about the irresponsible talks and manner of two top guns of our country. Sometimes, I really feel ashamed of some of our traits. They must not be compensated for any more excuses; excuses all-time are not excuses at all. I’m sorry if my attitude sounds offensive. Reality makes a meek voice loud. “Stay indifferent, stay fine.”………… Not always easy to have such a callous stay about things!!
