Brother Sushanta,
You’ve been finally selected for admission into the MBA Program of IBA, Dhaka University……..This is a great news, Indeed!!!!
You Did It!!! First you dreamed it, then believed it — It’s not surprising you achieved it! Congratulations my dear brother!!!
Best Regards,
: Dear Apu & Bhaiya,
I feel so happy finding you both on my wall. Your gorgeous presence beside me is always inspiring. Dreaming and believing together just make the picture, ‘something’ more is needed to see that picture drawn. Thanks a lot for providing me with that ‘something’. I sincerely want you to remain by my side now and forever. Hope I won’t be disappointed.
Take care.
With love,
Your younger brother Sushanta.
: We will always be by your side, no matter what, if you need us, we will be here for you. You can always count on us to be there for you. Nothing about that will ever change. we are here to help the best we can. And we won’t let you down on purpose.
Stay well brother. Keep your sunny days up all the time.
Best Wishes,
Apu And Family.
: Your words always make me feel better, think better and act better. Are you coming to Bangladesh? Please let me know before you come here. I’ll meet you and Bhaiya. I’m really lucky to discover you both in Facebook. Two thumbs up for Facebook! Hats off to Mark Zuckerberg!!
: If I could pick the adorable brother, I would pick you!!!
Sometimes being a brother is even better than being a superhero. A brother is a friend given by nature. Being sister and brother means being there for each other. I’ve been glad to have a brother like you.
You’re my pal, my buddy and my good friend too.
And it means a lot having a brother like you.
: Your words of kindness are softer than the finest silken cloth, your affection and care make me happy being here. You’re one of those few who are always gorgeous to me. Thank you for what you’re. Thank you for what you aren’t.

: Sorry Sush…… for my delay…… yeah there are many CDs……. I LOVE Budda Bar……. the whole collection…….. and of course, KARUNESH is awesome
: My classes commence from the 7th instant. I’m still too lazy to start them. I’ve the phobia of academic schooling, you know! Hope this time they’ll spare me from learning stupid things. I love challenges. I love decision-making (though I’m the most indecisive person my friends have ever seen….lol)……. I like mastering managerial skills. I like the formal modes of corporate world. Let’s wait and see how I meet things there……… The problem is, I like every good thing as long as I don’t have to do it…….. Hmm…….. I don’t think I’m uniquely unique in this case! Hahahaha……… Take care, didi.

: আরেকটা দারুণ কথা শুনলাম আজ……. “ডানহাত, বামহাত এবং অজুহাত…….এই তিন হাতওয়ালা লোক আমি পছন্দ করি না। হাত থাকবে শুধু দুটো।……..ডানহাত আর বামহাত।”….

: Hey bro, whazzup? How is your IBA life? I hope you surely enjoying the MBA courses of IBA. Any subject, any problem face করলে আমাকে বলিস। আমি যতটুকু সম্ভব, হেল্প করবো, অ্যাকাডেমিক কিংবা প্রেমঘটিত বিষয়ে টিপস লাগলে বলিস!…lolz
: Hello brother, our classes commenced just from yesterday. Classes are so good till now as today and yesterday there were just introductory classes. I wish classes were such for the rest of the course. SIGH!!
The first semester will cover five foundation courses. They are: Management of Organisation, Financial Accounting, Legal Environment of Business, Managerial Communication & Business Mathematics……… Dost, the last one attracted me most. The first 4 courses sound new to me as I was not fully in that stream, you know. Hopefully, they’ll appear better before me.
I’ve not faced any problems regarding academic matters or girls, because I’ve not started reading books yet and troubles have not, sadly enough, ensued about girls….lol
Anyway, I know about your ‘high mastery’ on these two issues. And, I’ll go for your suggestions whenever required, for sure!!
How are you? What about your business? Take care, dost.
: Happy to hear from u. What impressed me the most is that you are enjoying your MBA courses. That’s really important. If you don’t enjoy whatever you are doing, life becomes stressed. Keep it up. I am quite sure you’ll stand one of the top 3 students in the war of brilliance and excellence. You just need to be focused more in academic courses than in girls…lolz. Just kidding.
Anyways, as you always have been shy about girls, you’ll continue the same old track. Maybe the environment of Dhaka will help you in this regard to remove your shyness…lolz. I hope someday we will discover your secrets and undoubtedly put our remark that Sushanta was a Chupa Rustam and he kept us in darkness (regarding his affairs with girls) and made us fool throughout these years…lolz
Maybe you’ll become my Love Guru
: How can a person who is still in darkness about some topic can intentionally keep his friends in darkness regarding the same topic?…….. I was hardly in a good academic standing in my Honours course like you, because I never enjoyed my engineering course. You always rocked the campus and you’re still on the same track in your working arena. I hope you’ll be rocking forever in future too. Yes, it’s what I often tell others about you. And, I know it’s never an exaggeration.
I’ll stay in Chittagong from the next Tuesday to Saturday. I’ve a break of my classes. Hope to meet you at that time.
Take care of yourself and my ‘boudi’.

My esteemed friends, please share the names of at least 2 books that, you think, can help someone become successful by changing his/her attitude and style of thinking.
DK Singh: Can books or any person change the attitude of another person so easily? Husband & wife keep trying, to change the attitude of spouse, for the whole life………and how many succeed is anybody’s guess.
……… That’s true!! And so, they often say, “Better to study oneself than to study books.”………….. I keep trying following some principles and observing how they work or don’t. Nevertheless, this approach, some books are really thought-provoking and they really matter in a person’s life. The arena of my thoughts is hardly broader than that of my esteemed friends. So, I sincerely asked for their help.
February 10, 2011
Hi bro……… How’s going on your study? Plz keep in touch….
………. My session is 2010-2011. (We started our classes from the 7th instant.) Ours is a 4-semester system. It’s hoped to be completed in 2 years.
Thank you for your query about me. Hope you’re getting on well along with your family and work. Take care.

Tendulkar is OUT!!
We just want Bangladesh to play well. It matters little whether we win or not, but how we play matters. Hope Bangladesh will continue playing well as they’re doing right now.
February 19, 2011
My Bangladesh rocks!!
February 19, 2011
Our players tried their best. That’s what we want from them. Hope we’ll win the next matches. Good Luck Bangladesh
India has not been this ‘India’ overnight. It took time. We’re improving ourselves in every match. As we’re so poor, we lack many opportunities that players of others countries are enjoying. One day we also will win the World Cup. Better days are not far to seek.
My dear Bangladesh rocks!!
The GAME is not over yet!! We’ve other matches to play! Yes, we’ve proved that we can. Just think, if our bowlers could perform just in their usual manner, the result could be different. The decision to field first was not a good decision, I think. We just have to believe that we can win. Only then, we can be very close to victory!! India is not an easy opponent. Mind it. We must be happy with the score. 300 could be better, but we’re not frustrated at all. Let’s wait and see what happens next.
There’s always a Shewag in every team. Not always he becomes that ‘Shewag’. That’s what we call the unpredictable nature of game. Think about the start of our team. We scored 50 faster than India. Isn’t it great? The senior most player of our team is only 28! Yet, we tried to show the professional fury.
Stories will always tell us about the heroism of the hunters till the tigers don’t learn how to write. Till then, we’ve to wait.

: I know you are BIG on cricket….so having fun???? the opening I heard had mixed reviews……. but more than half Indians here are stuck to their TV sets. In fact the “dish network” had trouble in the transmission and they got sooo many calls that their phone system collapsed!! yeah……. proud moment for Indian Americans LOL to have community large enough to have done that….
: Indian Americans are proud of their Indian American phone system! Huh! Hahahahaha
How are you, didi? What about your backache? I’m enjoying my time with family. I’ve been on a vacation since last Tuesday. My classes restart from the next Wednesday. What are you doing now?
February 21, 2011
: cute pix of you and the baby……. you and the baby look precious!!!
: That baby is my niece. She is so cute! I like playing with kids.
: and you look very natural…… you look very nice…… you know women really fall for men who can handle babies really well.
: Fall in love……. Handle babies well…….. Is it going to be a contract, anyway?!….lol
February 24, 2011
I don’t know much about cricket but our ‘desi radio” jockeys have it…… they were sharing this information
“Kapil dev scored an unbeaten 175 against Zimbabwe in 1983 world cup……his performance was a real turnaround for India at the match……sadly the match was not covered on TV nor is there any video recording of this great innings, because of a strike by technical workers”
WHAT A LOSS OF RECEORDED HISTORY!!!!!!!! Wow this was life without camera phones and FB!!!!! can’t imagine this now…….. 400 million fans now would have captured it and put it on FB……. LOL…… sooo do you have the FEVER!!! the Cricket fever that seem to have swept many nations……. get well soon or perhaps I should say……. enjoy your fever!!!!!!!!!!
: I’m now in a fever that lasts till I let it do so, and it’s not harmful, anyway. History records the events mostly to repeat itself! Just see around how many new Kapil Devs are there and we still salute him as he taught how to be that ‘charismatic’ Dev! Nothing is lost or nothing is gained, just our thinking or not thinking makes it so. How we accept or reject it matters. Facebook users no doubt missed that grand chance only because some didn’t let do so. Yes, a great mess happens always! Even life’s never fair! Some people always get much more than they want, while some other miss the most part of what they deserve! I can’t make a fair calculation and often I end up calling it a destiny. I told you it earlier. Que sera, que sera!!
Didi, how are you now? What are you busy with now? Hospitalizing forever…….. Right? I’m a bit disturbed with some matters. I’m trying to cope up with them. Hope I’ll be able to make things better for me.
Take care.

My Bangladesh ROCKS!!
I’m ready to believe or disbelieve anything for YOU, my Bangladesh, my Mother.
Two thumbs up for our players!!
Miracles happen always!! Just make a wish and sincerely believe it and work for it!! The laws of attraction start working and divine blessings pour on you in some unknowing forms…….. I can tell you this from the experience of my life……….
Nothing stirs me more than my country and countrymen.
The drunken masters are masters, after all! Yes, being the masters matters. Every moment you live king size, counts! The moment we win is thousand times precious than the years we’ve wait to meet that moment. And, the winners will always write the history. That part of the past we know, that part of the present we’ll know ever. The hunter will always be a hero till the lion learns how to write………
We won the match, they lost. And, that’s true. Victory speaks out for itself! Let’s be a part of it and hope for the best!
Good Luck Bangladesh!! Wish You A Happy Ending.

Hats off to K O’Brien!!
Yes!! The great victory comes at last!! Ireland really deserves it!!……. And, if it’s true, my Bangladesh must deserve better. …….. No doubt about it!!!
Bangladesh defeated Ireland…….. Ireland defeated England……. The match between England and India was tied…….. India is now considered No. 1 team in this World Cup…..
Quest??
Our players can make miracles happen only if they believe in their worth and work with their fullest commitment.
Yes brothers, it’s true that the task of stepping on the second sound has become a bit difficult. Let’s not lose our good hopes……… Que sera, que sera (What will be, will be)……….. Hope our tigers will make things better for us.

Some of my friends have asked me through inbox, ” Do you still support your Bangladesh cricket team?” I’ve just answered, “YES”…….. Can I ever call another beautiful woman Mother only because my own Mother is ugly?…….. NO!! NEVER!!…….. Better days must come, I believe!!
I’m humbly requesting all of my Bangladeshi Facebook friends not to say anything if you don’t have something nice to say about Bangladesh……… I really do mean it!!……… Please stop this nuisance!!

Clearance SALE!! Clearance SALE!! You’re offered attractive DISCOUNTS on all products at my gift-shop ‘DOVANA’!! Offer valid till stocks last. Interested friends are requested to check my profile info for the items we deal in & the address of DOVANA. Thanks.
…….. Not all discounted things have the charm of being liked whatever they’re…….. You better choose yours.
……..যতদিন স্টকে প্রোডাক্ট থাকে। আমি বোধহয়, গিফটশপ শাট ডাউন করে দেবো, তাই আমার পারচেইসিং প্রাইসেই প্রোডাক্ট সেল করে দিচ্ছি।…….তোমার পড়াশোনা কেমন চলছে?
…….. There’s a brief list available in my profile info page.
…….. Que sera, que sera (What will be, will be)………. Things are that they’re, things will be that they’ll be……..so goes on life. We can never change the course. It’s always destined!
…….. But for these two treasures, my life would have been shaped differently. While seeing, we usually think that what we’re seeing, is all that can be seen. There’s always left more that’s beyond our imagination. My problem was, I mistakenly took the first step for the frontier and decided to be where I was not supposed to be. I often made a confusion between my ambition and power. Such a confusion hardly goes unpunished and, in my case, it did so. Three precious years lapsed from my life just in a reverie of wealth. My dreams proved to be treacherous!!……… Sigh….!!
…….. P@ul’s অলরেডি বন্ধ করে দিয়েছি, দোভানা বন্ধ করে দিচ্ছি। কিছু করার নেই, ভাই। সময়ের প্রয়োজনে আমাকে এটা করতে হচ্ছে। দোয়া করি, তোমার একজাম ভাল হোক।
……… ঠিকই বলেছ, দারুণ ছিল সেই দিনগুলি! আমি মাঝেমাঝেই বেশ নস্টালজিয়ায় ভুগি, তোমাদের সবার কথা খুব মনে পড়ে। তোমরা ভাল থেকো। তোমাদের সবার একজাম ভাল হোক, এই শুভ কামনা রইল।
……..কিছুই করার নেই, ভাই, আমাকে তা-ই করতে হচ্ছে। তোমার পরিচিত কেউ ইন্টারেস্টেড থাকলে আমাকে জানিয়ো।……….কোনটা আসল, আর কোনটা মরিচিকা; এটা বোঝা বেশ কঠিন! অনেকেই তা বুঝতে পারে না, আমিও পারিনি। এখনো সেই অনিশ্চয়তায় ঘুরপাক খাচ্ছি। চুয়েটের সেই দিনগুলির কথা মনে আছে তোমার? আমার খুব মনে পড়ে, ভাল লাগে। আমার জন্য দোয়া কোরো। তুমি ভাল থেকো, সুন্দর থেকো।

Miracles happen when you believe!! Hundreds of my brothers are in the street!! They’re dancing, shouting like children!! I’m one of them!! That’s my Bangladesh!! The whole world has heard the roar of our tigers!! Hats off to you, my brothers!! I’ll be always waiting to dance for you, my Bangladesh, my mother!! We’re your silly children!!
Now I’m dancing just like a MAD!! I don’t know what makes me do so. I don’t even bother to know what makes me do so!! I’m now dancing like a crazy with my brothers, and it’s now worship for me!!!
I salute you, my country, my mother!!
We’re burning wood, paper, bamboo with kerosine. We’re dancing on fire!! Really hard to believe for me……. I’m now dancing on fire!! Amazingly, none of us is getting hurt!!
Even FIRE dare not touch the FLAME burning inside our soul!!
We’re shouting……. BANGLADESH! BANGLADESH!! BANGLADESH!!!
বন্ধুরা………….একটু আগে বাসায় ফিরলাম। গলা ভেঙে গেছে, কথা বলতে পারছি না, এরপরও এখনো ইচ্ছে হচ্ছে আরো খানিকক্ষণ চেঁচাই! স্যান্ডাল ছিঁড়ে গেছে, প্যান্টও পুড়ে গেছে নিচের অনেকটা অংশ জুড়ে! মাথা ঝিম হয়ে আছে, চোখে রাজ্যের ঘুম; কিন্তু কী আশ্চর্য, ক্লান্তি বোধ হচ্ছে না এতটুকুও! এই যে অদ্ভুত, অবাণিজ্যিক ভালোবাসা, তা সে শেখাল আমায়? আমার মতো ডেকোরেটেড মানুষকে বোধহয় এতটা মানায় না! না মানাক, তাতে ক্ষতি কী? আমি তো বেশ মানিয়ে নিয়েছি! এই খুশি কিনতে পারি, এমন ধনী তো আমি নই! আছে কি আদৌ এমন ধনী কেউ?

Ireland……. England……. And now……. Netherlands!! Yessss!! We’ve beaten all the three European LANDs of Group B!! Our tigers win Europe!!! Hats off!!! What’s next? South Africa!! I just can’t wait for that BIG match!!!
I think our players have every skill to beat South Africa. What they’ve to do is to show their skill. No miracles need to happen. They’re already worth the victory. A blend of confidence and skill makes things better in the battlefield…….. Winning Europe is not winning the rest, but it has showed us how to win the rest. Our overall team performance needs to be developed more to carry the day against South Africa. I hope our players will show their fullest capability on the Saturday’s match. It’s possible when they can bridge the narrow gap between CONFIDENCE and SUCCESS……. Let’s keep our fingers crossed for that!!

মন খুব খারাপ হয়ে আছে। মন ভাল করা দরকার। বন্ধুরা, মন ভাল করার জন্য কী করা যায়, বলুনতো? কমেডি শো দেখবো? যা দেখছি, তা-ই বা কম কীসে?
নাহ্! আজ কোনো প্রার্থনাই কাজে লাগছে না বোধহয়! ঈশ্বর কি ঘুমিয়ে পড়েছেন? নাকি ঈশ্বর কেবল যোগ্যতরদের জন্যই জাগেন?
God says, “First deserve, then pray.”
এভাবেই আমাদের স্বপ্নগুলি খুন হয়ে যায়! তবু আমরা আশায় বেঁচে থাকি। কী অদ্ভুত! কী বিষণ্ণ এই স্বপ্নের সাথে সহবাস! অনেক বেশি কষ্ট পেলাম…….
জিতে গেলে হিপহিপ হুররে বলবে সবাই, হেরে গেলে শেইম! শেইম!……… It’s a game!!

It’s too late……. And……. Now I can realize……. My father was right……. I’m sorry, baba. Illusions are illusions, always…….
Life is but a tale told by an idiot……. My life is so far a plot to be made story……. And, I’m the biggest IDIOT and have always had a bad imagination…….. Parents are never wrong……. They’ve seen the stories we even can never imagine.
……. Bhai, what you can see is the good part of my life……. What you or I can’t see is the worse one……. What both of us can’t see is the worst one……. And, my father saw it when I couldn’t even imagine of it…….. But I told him that he lacked vision……. Idiots get their punishment much more than their stupidity could give……. And that’s what I’m getting now…
…….. Now, I wonder what’s not wrong……. The right thing misses the right place. The right place misses the right person. The right person misses the right vision…….. All that pervades was said to be centred. The centre even got vanished. But the circle has not! The road not taken remains illusory, yet I know I’ve to travel. The illusions are at the distance where I even dare not reach!! Is not an irony?…….. Life is never fair, dost, life is never fair!!Sushanta Paul Self-admiration and complacency are the two daughters of IGNORANCE and I married their mother……. Such a marriage never goes unpunished, NEVER!!…….
……… Reinvention of wheel has been proved in my case with the sheer derision, as I’ve applied it reflexively, possibly to indicate that although my activities might be perceived as merely reinventing the wheel, they actually possess nearly no additional values.
……….. Dost, most of you have got problems created, I’ve created them for myself. I can’t escape the consequences. I’m facing them every moment. My father proves to be right every second. Not so happens that we reach Utopia easily. I’ve started taking care of the things already taken care of!! That’s horrible, brother!! I’m now observing things, though I was not supposed to merely an observant. When others around me will get the chance?? Will I be observing forever?!!………… ~~ SIGH ~~…………….. take care, brother.
……………
The wonderful person that I used to dream to be,
That person no longer exists in me or in my father’s eyes.
Wandering aimless, without direction,
Just hoping to find my way.
If Only my heart would give me permission to carve on its walls
“I’m Sorry”, with deep, carefully etched letters
That could never be erased
They only wish for my happiness in all my tomorrows,
And peace in the memories of my yesterdays…if only…………
~~ SIGH ~~
And every time you trace those words you will feel
Of my remorse and sincerity and finally realize how stupid I’ve been!!!

Innocence and stupidity are sisters. I wish I could marry anyone of them.

কমলাপুর স্টেশনের প্ল্যাটফর্মে অপেক্ষা করে ছিলাম অনেকক্ষণ ধরেই…….অবশেষে ট্রেন এলো, এখনো সেই অপেক্ষাতেই আছি……. ১১টার ট্রেন কয়টায় ছাড়ে, কে জানে!…….বিরক্ত লাগা উচিত, কিন্তু তাও লাগছে না। বিরক্তির প্রতি আমার এই নিঃস্পৃহতা থাকার তো কথা নয়! তবে কেন? বাসায় ফিরছি বলে? তা-ই হবে হয়তো!
এখন আমি অন্তত এ-ই ভেবে খুশি যে ট্রেনটা এসেছে! রিস্ক এবং প্রবলেম……দুটোকেই গা-সওয়া মনে হয় যখন বাসায় ফিরি।
…….. Let’s first be changed, then change. We’re responsible for this problem. Who are the Govt? We ourselves are the Govt. We elected them and so we can’t escape the aftermath too.
……..ভাই, আমি তো নিজেই জানতাম না যে আমি চট্টগ্রামে যাচ্ছি, তোমাকে জানাবো কীভাবে? ৯টায় ডিসাইড করলাম, ঠিক তখনই বাসা থেকে বেরিয়ে পড়লাম…….

Never think it compulsory to attend a program or a party where your presence might be considered optional……. Anyone disagree?
…………. দোস্তো, পালানোর দরকার নেই, অ্যাটেন্ড কর। আমি বুঝতে পারছি, তোর সিচুয়েশনটা আমি বুঝতে পারছি। You are surely a tougher man to do this tough task.
………. Brother, if it’s official, nobody is going to take your presence personally. And, in such cases, usually the program is organized maintaining a highly sophisticated decorum. Almost all the official programs have little attention to the guests. And, if you are not a guest, rather the program is yours, I think, it’s better not to tolerate any type of gesture that is meant for setting you aside.
……দোস্ত, আমি এখনো বেকার মানুষ, তাই ব্যস্ততা যে কী, তার পুরোটা এখনো বুঝে উঠতে পারিনি। তবে তোর কথা ঠিক।…… ভাল থাকিস।…….দোয়া করিস যেন ভাল থাকতে পারি।
……… That’s a good idea, Sir……. When you plan of drawing a picture, and you find the picture already drawn frowning your ability to draw it, do you deserve such an insult? It hurts, Sir. Art for art’s sake is purely individual initially. But when an artist doesn’t know or is not let know how much better or how much worse his own creation is, should he visit the art exhibition? You’ve no right to underestimate a person’s power. If you do it, you’re only demonstrating your own weakness in a most disgracing way. Only the person with a very low personality, tries to set aside his contemporaries to conceal his own weakness. I might accept or reject what you say, but till my death I’ll try to defend your right to say it. When I fear to face you, I’m just proving myself miserable…….. Thanks.

: কেমন হচ্ছে বৃষ্টি বিলাস?……
: ভালই…….বাসায় থাকলে বারান্দায় বসে কবিতার বই হাতে নিয়ে কফির কাপে চুমুকদেয়া…….. আর বাইরে থাকলে, বৃষ্টির সাথে ঝগড়া করতেকরতে তাড়াহুড়ো করে বাসায় ফেরা….

Dear friends, what is the single most influential book you’ve ever read that you can recommend?……. Please share……..
April 1, 2011
: lovely profile picture…….. LOVED the pose! Absolutely love it!
: Didi, thanks a lot for the comment. Like elder sister, like younger brother……… I’m happy that you’ve not forgotten me.
: Ritu didi……… Huh! I know you were thinking of me lately!…….. And, I always think of you whenever I’m here on Facebook……. (And you know, I’m always on Facebook!)…….. Missing you, didi.
Sarada didi……… You’re sweeter, no doubt! I’ve always liked, still like and will like forever the way you meet me every time.

I never thought of study as employment. I’ve never asked myself why I’m devoting several years of my life to my studies. Is it the likely reason that I’m poorly directed and still far away from what I deserve?
Study for study’s sake is probably a suicidal idea and very silly from the materialistic approach. In this sense, I’ve always been an emotional fool. They say, study pays. My study has not yet paid me much. And, I’m doubtful of any future benefit derived from my studies. What I know, isn’t what I’m supposed to know. So miserable, if everything is taken into consideration. Does everyone else live in such a Utopia? Academic pessimism kills me every moment…
……… Very diplomatic answer, our teachers advise us to behave in such a “It depends” manner. An MBA degree is often meant for such a ‘safe-sided’ circumstance.
…….. Buy a compass before you buy a clock!……. That’s what we often reverse and there’s a constant fight with time. Never are there moments of happiness with time. Enough is never enough.
……… Study has paid, it’s true, Sir. What’s truer is, I’d to pay even more. My academic life and my passion often met in contradiction. And, I’ve always been proved a bad negotiator, so far. I was never a learner of what I studied, I was never a student of what I learnt. And you know Sir, such a mismatch hardly goes unpunished.
……… Sir, I’ve not seen life much and what I’ve seen so far was not worth-seeing. My life has always been but a tale told by an idiot. The script was better, the story-teller was worse. I know, the game isn’t over yet; it could be, though…….. The greatest tragedy with desire is, we often desire less than we deserve. Sadly enough, the gap between the two is rarely found ‘bridged’. My problem was not that I desired more than I deserved, rather I desired less than I deserved……. And, the good news is, I’ve moved away from what I foolishly desired once.
…….. Thank you, madam, for your inspiring words. You’re always such a guiding star for me! ………. Every gun has its tone. We can never change the tone unless we change the gun. I’m trying to make that ‘change’. Not an easy deal it is; neither a trifling one to quit, however. I don’t know how much or less I’ll be able to soar high enough to reach my dreams. But you know madam, at the end of the day, only dreams talk! I often sigh for my smoky years of illusions. I failed to plan and so, I planned to fail!……. I’ve never learnt to manage my life, I’ve never even tried to negotiate. How silly I used to be! And so, nothing stood for me, I stood for nothing. Real life achievements are even farther from my dreams, and I’m solely responsible for it!…….. Anyway, I’m learning to be in love with both my learning and studying. What will be, will be. And, I’m trying my best to turn things better for myself and for my well-wishers.
……… Very nicely interpreted, madam. Corporate world is never so relaxed as people around seem to think about it. Greater privileges always mean greater responsibilities. I was really surprised when I found you constantly engaged and hectic in your office, ensuring every inch of commitment to your corporate customers. I’ll always remember our first meeting. That was my first introduction to a highly sophisticated banking environment. I could never even imagine such a friendly welcome that you offered……….. Thank you so much for kindly making every point clearer in your previous comment. Looking forward to learning from you more……… Take care.

Yes!! ’83 is back!! And……. The Cup goes to India!! Hats off to the new World Champions!! Thank you, India & Sri Lanka, for making the match spectacular!! Cricket talks aloud!!
………. Very well said, Sir………….. “In 83, we stopped winning-spree of West Indies and thereafter they never won”………… So nicely observed!! But Sri Lanka are too tough a team to be so vulnerable, I think………….. And, really nothing binds so closely like cricket & Football. I think, now it’s time to declare cricket as the national game of India.

: Man, I have been crazier than a teenager in love!!! LOL……. but indeed, what a game! haven’t slept a wink……. and all worth it!!!!
: Hahahaha…….. Didi, tell me something I don’t know, you’re always like a teen-ager in love!!…….. Yes, that’s worth it!! The match itself talked aloud!! Oye didi!! Since when have you been such a hardcore fan of cricket? It’s amazing!! Now you seem to be on the right track! Today’s match was just breath-taking. Even every second counted!!…….. I wish I could tape the scene of biting your dog’s nails!! Hahahaha……..

I think, I’m not good enough at English……. I’m no good at thinking straight (even if sometimes I’m, I can’t write clearly what I think), I can’t speak better, I’m no good at being myself…….. Dear friends, could you please suggest me how to speak better, write better, express better in English? Any kind of help would be appreciated.
……… Dear friend, I often can’t connect my thoughts while writing and speaking. Any suggestions?
…….. Masima, no, no, nobody has been rude to me (How they could be, I’m enough of it, I think!!) I’m happy knowing that you hold a positive idea about me. Like others, I also try to learn more through reading. And, it makes me really worried thinking about my inability to write as lucidly as the writers do.
……… Let’s see what our friends suggest us to do.
……….আপনার পরামর্শের জন্য ধন্যবাদ। আমি এই ব্যাপারটিতে প্রায়ই তালগোল পাকিয়ে ফেলি। চেষ্টা করে দেখেছি, তবুও সুন্দরভাবে অল্প কথায় লিখতে পারি না। আরো চেষ্টা করতে হবে বোধহয়।
………. আমি ঠিক বুঝতে পারলাম না, আপনার কথাটায় কোন শ্লেষ ছিল কি না। যদি থাকে, তাহলে হয়তো তা আমার প্রাপ্য। যদি না থাকে, তাহলে ধরে নেবো, ওটা আপনার ঔদার্য। ধন্যবাদ।
……….দোস্তো, তুইও দেখি আমার দলে! একজন সঙ্গী পেয়ে বড়ই আনন্দ পেলাম। দেখি, অন্য বন্ধুরা কী বলে…..
……… Thank you, didi, for your compliment. (Hope, what you thought is how I’m took it……….. But honestly, didi, I feel so helpless about my incapability of connecting my thoughts. The writers I read make me think and believe more of it.)
……….ঠিকই বলেছ, ভাই! আর আমিও ঠিক ওভাবেই জিজ্ঞেস করেছি।
……… ভাই, আমি শুধু ওইটুকুই পারি, স্ট্যাটাস আপডেট করা (আর কমেন্ট করা) পর্যন্তই!
………. Brother, knowing how cheat weakness is a great virtue. Please share some cheat-codes. I also want to win the game.
………কীরে! কী বলছিস এইসব! তুই আমাকে এত ভুল একটা কারণে ভয় পাস কেন রে? আজকে তো জেনেই গেলি, আর ভয় পাস-নে, ভাই!
……….আপু, তোমার প্রথম কথাটা পুরোপুরি সত্যি, পরের কথাগুলো নয়। আমি কতদূর এসেছি বলে তোমার মনে হয়, জানি না, তবে এইটুকু জোর দিয়ে বলতে পারি, তুমি ঠিক ভাবছ না। আর আমার কাছ থেকে শেখার চেষ্টা করছ, ভাল কথা। তবে সাবধানে শেখো, আমি খুব বেশি কিছু শিখিনি।

Praise is always healthier than chicken soup.
Chicken soup is healthy for the body, praise is healthy for soul. Nourishment of the soul is much more important than that of body. A three-pack soul is stronger than a six-pack body.
বৃদ্ধ, বার্ধক্য, শেষ বয়স, আর যতদিন বাঁচা……..আরে ভাই, এত ভাবতে বলছ কেন? It’s life, yaar, let’s live it!……..তবে যা-ই বল, গুরু, মনটাকে বোধহয় আর চিরহরিৎ রাখা যাচ্ছে না! যতই গলা ফাটাও না কেন, বয়স তো আর কানে তুলো গুঁজে বসে থাকছে না!………আমার ছোটভাইরা যখন গার্লফ্রেন্ড লইয়া, আমার চোখের সামনে দিয়া, রঙ্গ কইরা হাঁইট্টা যায়, ফাইট্টা যায়, বুকটা ফাইট্টা যায়!
…….. Life is not getting any more complicated, it’s not getting any simpler either. It’s getting exactly what it’s supposed to be. We’re making it what we’re assuming it to be. Humans are the only creatures who can hope for hope’s sake. It’s why we’re here, it’s how we’re here…….. No sighs, please. The more you pay for them, the less you receive from them.
…….. “সব কিছুই বুঝে নেবো, তবুও কিছুই মানবো না।”……… প্রেম নিয়ে এই অদ্ভুত স্ববিরোধীতা মানুষের স্বভাবজাত। মানুষ বড়ই স্ববিরোধী প্রাণী, আমরা তো ভিন্ন কিছু নই, ভাই!
‘এত শঠতা, এত যে ব্যথা, তবু যেন তা মধুতে মাখা!’ দিল্লিকা লাড্ডু খেলেও পস্তাবো, না খেলেও পস্তাবো!……..নাহয় খেয়েই পস্তাই! কী আছে আর জীবনে? একজন মানুষ এক জীবনে আর কতটুকুই বা পায়!
…….. What’s the use of fearing to be suffocated when you’re enough of it? Breaths come from within making a better without. That’s all about life and love…..But, to some extent, it’s true that……… LOVE IS OFTEN OVERRATED!!
And, most part of it we never meet. Thanks.
Ishrat…….. Never be convinced that you were born for sufferings. You’re entitled to all the pleasures of the world. It’s your choice to be within or to be without it. Buddhism just teaches you to be under Nirvana, a spiritual detachment from all mundane attachments, making a greater journey to love and passion about your within and without. That’s a different stream.
……… Let me start from your PS (“No philosophical answer please…!!!!!”)……….. Not all philosophers are the liars, not all without girlfriends are philosophers. I’ve every right to seem to be a nerd philosopher and still without any girlfriend………… Once you used to be too, I know.
I typed the word ‘girlfriends’ just mistakenly (2:30 am was not a good time for good typing, you know!)……… And, later I wanted to remove that comment this morning and retype that comment again; but my laziness prevented me from doing so, and AMAZINGLY enough, I just did the right thing!! (Your comment proves it to be)……….. God bless your life-partner!!
And, about relationship……….. Your comment sounds something like confessing before the father of a church without the least hope of being pardoned!! It’s not easy for youth of 26+ (like me) not to confide that ‘secret’ to his friends, you know; it was not easy for you either (your comment makes it clearer than it is)!!!)……………

: Thank you, Sharmi didi. After a long time, you’re here!! I was missing you badly and thinking of sending you a message this evening. I was just about to send you that message and the net connection went wrong. I’m sending you it right now, please check your inbox………. Take care, didi.

Why your stupid boss is overpaid? Why you’re not, though you’re smarter?
Dear friends……… He himself is not smart but he can make you act even smarter. Is he overpaid for it? Maybe, he is.
It’s natural. The boss of your boss is also stupid. Ask him, and he’ll surely prove that he is smarter than his boss…….. And if so is, you’re, no doubt, the smartest!! Enjoy this super smartness till the time you become the BOSS. So, the bottom line is………… It’s not easy to be stupid!! Who dares to disagree with the stupid (I mean, boss)!!………………… Ouch!!
Dada, I know you feel hurt!! Don’t worry, I hope your employees aren’t in my friend-list!!………… Ahh dada, oi অসহায় affected ফেসগুলো দেখেও কি আপনাদের এতটুকুও মায়া হয় না? আপনারা এতটাই হৃদয়হীন কেন? ভাবি জানতে পারলে উনার কতদিনের ভুলটা ভেঙে যাবে, বুঝতে পারছেন, দাদা??……………. হাহাহাহাহাহা
