Thought: Five Hundred Forty-Seven
……………………………………………………
11 March 2011
I’m home this Friday;
it feels
like there’s no holiday quite as wonderful as this. I’m eating my mother’s cooking,
chatting away with father;
everything together has made life seem strangely beautiful! Just these two days!
After this I’ll return again to Dhaka, the clamorous city. Aaah!
If only one could go back to that childhood!
……… Age is advancing……let it advance! But why do sighs deepen along with it? Can anyone tell me?
The rented house where I live in Dhaka
feels like someone else’s home,
as if I’ve come there for a visit! I seem to be accepting everything these days, yet I can’t truly embrace anything with my heart.
… Thank you Sir for your presence
on my wall. I’m regularly on my wall and update my status these days. Somehow
you happen to miss it, I guess. I truly feel honoured to have you here on my
wall.
…. That’s the problem, brother.
I’m always so bad a player.
….. Brother,
reading your writing made me feel as if I’ve just barely learned Bengali! Believe me, I’ve been speaking
and writing in this very Bengali for so long—
since before you were even born.
16 March 2011
Mother called to say it’s drizzling in Chittagong. Cool breezes are blowing too. Ah! How utterly beautiful!!
…… Why isn’t it happening in Dhaka?
Such a gray city! …… I really miss my city so much! I feel like getting drenched in that Nabadhar water,
taking a bath!
Will anyone come with me to Chayabithitala, to the nipaban groves?
…….. Childhood memories keep flooding back;
when my younger brother and I would go up to the rooftop and get soaked in the rain to our heart’s content; we’d stay wet until mother scolded us! How wonderfully beautiful those days were—where did they disappear!
Now I feel thrilled listening to Rabindranath’s monsoon songs, and this shiver is no small gift either! Yet what remains incomplete………going to the veranda to touch the rain,
wetting one’s lips!
Ah!…………streams of joy
flow through the world…………..come to the nipaban,
come beneath the shaded walkways………..oh what strange resonance is happening—I cannot explain it!
I seem to see my dream city before my eyes,
returning to that childhood,
this imagination feels even more real than reality itself!
……. Que sera, que sera!! (What
will be, will be!!)………. The deeply saddening news from Japan has been spinning in my head for the past two days………
What uncertainty they must be living in! All I can do for them is pray!
How helpless we are before nature!
I’ve heard about the nuclear burst……but we seem not to be in such grave danger. The radiation effect reports seemed overrated to me………..Whatever you say, brother, if I were home I’d really be enjoying myself………eating fried hilsa fish and spiced khichuri……….I can’t begin to express how terribly I miss my home and my city!
…….. After so long! You know very well, for (non)poets like me, the sense of lack is not of poetry, but of ‘something else.’………..hahahahahaha………….
………….Friend,
Color has been clinging to the mind since ages,
now it’s slowly fading away too. What good is this color, if no one could ever touch it?
17 March 2011
A dream journey growing long doesn’t mean the dream must shatter! Why are we falling apart so completely?
I know, the calculations have gotten a bit complicated now. Still, we shall move forward,
profit or loss from the reckoning,
whatever it may be,
we must now forge our own destiny with our own hands. Victory in battle brings suffering, I know. But its joy is hardly scarce either!
Strange things don’t always happen, they didn’t happen today either, things are just that strange!
This doesn’t mean they’ll never happen in the future either….. Let’s see what unfolds! Our best wishes will remain with them.
…… And, be prepared for the
worst!
Truthfully speaking,
my mood is also terribly sour. Misfortune can be endured,
but not accepted. And if good fortune happens to be effortlessly gained, then there’s nothing more to say!
Let our tiger cubs roar once more,
beyond this small wish there’s nothing else to be done now. Ah, if only our most esteemed friends would think once about our predicament!
19 March 2011
No! Today no prayer seems to be working, it seems.
God says, “First deserve, then
pray.”….
Why are we the ones neglected? Why not them?
19 March 2011
This is how our dreams get murdered,
yet we live on in hope. How strange! How melancholic this cohabitation with dreams! It hurt far too much….
If we win, everyone will say hip hip hooray,
if we lose,
Shame! Shame!!….. It’s a game!
19 March 2011
I wanna go back to time when
happiness meant toffees & biscuits (not my country’s WIN), victory meant
finishing my plate first (not BEATing opposition), safety meant being in my
mom’s arms (not reaching TARGET score), the only things broken were my toys
(not my HEART), goodbye only meant till tomorrow (not till next World Cup). I
wish I could go back… We’ll miss you dear Bangladesh in Quarter Finals.
But life is never so easy as not have
to say Goodbye.
Thank you didi… Let me add more…
…. when dad’s shoulders were the
highest place on earth and touching the roof in his strong arms meant high
above the sky (not being the World Champion)….when I loved everybody and
everyone loved me as well….. I wanna be back to those days of innocence.
22 March 2011
Dear friends, I want to sell my
giftshop “DOVANA” situated at Chawk Bazar, Chittagong… This offer
includes: the products, decoration, trade license, goodwill, brand value and other
necessary equipment. If anyone of you are genuinely interested in accepting the
offer, please don’t hesitate to contact me for any inquiries… Thanks.
23 March 2011
The small details of our lives are
what really matter in a relationship. It is not the mansion, the car, property,
the money in the bank. These create an environment conducive for happiness but
cannot give happiness in themselves. So, let’s find time to be our families’
friends and do those little things for each other that build intimacy. Let’s
have really happy families!
Ironically enough, we often spend
time teaching others how to manage their familial ties ignoring ours.
I also have one…. Happy family,
happy faces…
…… Usually we try to develop
relationship with others ignoring our own families. The persons who deserve the
most attention receive the least. At the time when we need care and mental
support, only our family stands sincerely beside us. Think about our parents
and siblings. They’re the gods on earth, I think. But we often fail to choose
priorities for ourselves. We can feel it most when we’re sick and our family is
not beside us.
24 March 2011
….. looking forward to a BIG India
vs Pakistan match…. Go India! GO!!
India vs Pakistan match means
something different. It never fails to entertain!!
Yes, the god of cricket comes!!
24 March 2011
Australian Era in cricket ends
finally!! Goodbye Australia!! The World Cup must not be a unique possession!!
…..looking forward to March 29.
The BIG match comes!!
Nobody salutes the setting sun,
though it once rose to shine!…. I’d rather salute the pauper who is wearing
the crown than the prince who has lost it!!
24 March 2011
Nobody salutes the setting sun,
though it once rose to shine!…. I’d rather salute the pauper who is wearing
the crown than the prince who has lost it!!
Winners always write the
history…….. Now, let the lion write the history as it has learnt how to
write!! The hunter is OUT!!
25 March 2011
March 25, 1971… the day that ended
in the darkest night of the history… Blood marked the walk to FREEDOM, the
search of IDENTITY….. A BIG salute to the greatest sons of our soil.

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…
I’ve realized it paying the highest
price more worth than the untold story…
…. 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…
… Things are turning wrong.
They’re falling apart long before I could gather them….
…. 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!!
…. Don’t be confused. I don’t want
you to second me! It hurts!!
Self-admiration and complacency are
the two daughters of IGNORANCE and I married their mother… Such a marriage
never goes unpunished, NEVER!!…
প্রিয় সানি ভাই……. আমি সবসময় স্বপ্ন দেখেছি সেই সংকীর্ণ (অথচ আপাতদৃষ্টিতে অন্তহীন) ব্যবধানে সেতু নির্মাণের, যা রয়েছে কল্পনা এবং বাস্তবতার মধ্যে…… স্বপ্ন রইল স্বপ্নই। আর আমি স্বপ্ন দেখেছি কেবল স্বপ্নের জন্যই!!…… যাই হোক, যা হওয়ার তাই হবে।
….. চাকা আবিষ্কার করা আমার ক্ষেত্রে প্রমাণিত হয়েছে নিছক উপহাসের সাথে, যেহেতু আমি তা প্রয়োগ করেছি প্রতিফলিতভাবে, সম্ভবত এটা নির্দেশ করতে যে আমার কার্যকলাপগুলো যদিও কেবল চাকা পুনরাবিষ্কার হিসেবে দেখা হতে পারে, তবু সেগুলোর প্রায় কোনো অতিরিক্ত মূল্য নেই।
……. বন্ধু, তোমাদের অধিকাংশের কাছেই সমস্যা এসেছে, আমি সেগুলো নিজের জন্য সৃষ্টি করেছি। আমি পরিণতি এড়াতে পারি না। আমি সেগুলোর মুখোমুখি হচ্ছি প্রতি মুহূর্তে। আমার বাবা প্রতি সেকেন্ডে ঠিক প্রমাণিত হন। এমন নয় যে আমরা সহজে ইউটোপিয়ায় পৌঁছাই। আমি যত্ন নিতে শুরু করেছি সেই বিষয়গুলোর যেগুলোর যত্ন ইতোমধ্যে নেওয়া হয়েছে!! এটা ভয়ংকর, ভাই!! আমি এখন পর্যবেক্ষণ করছি, যদিও আমার কেবল একজন পর্যবেক্ষক হওয়ার কথা ছিল না। আমার চারপাশের অন্যরা কখন সুযোগ পাবে?? আমি কি চিরকাল পর্যবেক্ষণ করতে থাকব?!!…….. ~~ দীর্ঘশ্বাস ~~…………. যত্ন নিস, ভাই।
………..
যে চমৎকার মানুষটি হওয়ার স্বপ্ন আমি দেখতাম,
সেই মানুষটি আর নেই আমার মধ্যে কিংবা আমার বাবার চোখে।
ঘুরে বেড়াই লক্ষ্যহীন, দিকভ্রষ্ট,
কেবল আশা করি পথ খুঁজে পাব।
যদি শুধু আমার হৃদয় আমাকে অনুমতি দিত তার দেওয়ালে খোদাই করতে
“আমি দুঃখিত”, গভীর, যত্নসহকারে উৎকীর্ণ অক্ষরে
যা কখনো মুছে যাবে না
তারা কেবল চায় আমার সকল আগামীদিনে সুখ,
আর আমার গতকালের স্মৃতিতে শান্তি…যদি শুধু…….. ~~ দীর্ঘশ্বাস ~~
আর প্রতিবার তুমি সেই শব্দগুলো অনুসরণ করবে তুমি অনুভব করবে
আমার অনুশোচনা এবং আন্তরিকতা আর অবশেষে বুঝতে পারবে আমি কত বোকামি করেছি!!!
…. তুমি ঠিক, ভাই। আমরা আমাদের বাবা-মায়ের প্রতিটি কথা বুঝতে শুরু করি যত বয়স বাড়ে আর যত তাদের পাশে থাকি না।

আর… বিশ্ব ক্রিকেটের আরেক স্তম্ভের পতন!! দক্ষিণ আফ্রিকার জন্য ইতিহাসের পুনরাবৃত্তি!! ক্রিকেট আলোচনা!!
মনে হয়… ইতিহাস তোমার জন্য ভালো নয়। তোমাকে নিজের জন্য নতুন একটা তৈরি করতে হবে।
নিউজিল্যান্ড আজ রাজকীয় খেলা উপহার দিয়েছে… শ্রেষ্ঠত্বের জয়!!
আর… নিউজিল্যান্ড কয়েকদিন আগে বাংলাদেশের কাছে ধুলিসাৎ হয়েছে!! হ্যাঁ! আমরা এটা করেছি!! দারুণ লাগছে!! কেবল অনুভূতিটাই এখানে গুরুত্বপূর্ণ, তবু….
……….. পারফরম্যান্স অভিজাততাকে হারায়!!
…… Quite miserable, yet
desirable.

Stay stupid, stay happy.
Better were those days when we were
innocent.
Innocence and stupidity are sisters.
I wish I could marry anyone of them.
…. It’s not easy to marry
innocence without falling in love with stupidity….lol
…. Most welcome… Wish you an
idiot-safe life.
…. So true, Sir! I tried a lot to
stay stupid, rather I’ve always stayed a sheer idiot making a confusion between
stupidity and idiocy… Such a confusion never goes unpunished, you know!
…. Cheers! Never is it so, I know
dear!! You’ve never been so… Make it a choice and feel better. Happy Stupid
Life.
…. OMG!! Who dares being guided by
an idiot?…. Huh! I’ve every confidence in my worth being able to be an
idiot… And, if you’re beside me, we both will be masterpiece idiots…. Any doubt?….lol
Hahahaha, we can surely take over
the world then
…. Just sum up all our ‘pokes’ and
give the sum-total to the world. And, wait and see what happens… Why should
we bother for that?….lol
It would be impossible for anyone or
anything to challenge that.. I think we are surely in the lead…
Winners are always idiots… Idiots
are happy… And so, winners are idiots… Happy Fighting, Zelda.
Being an idiot was never so precious
before this status, I guess!!
…. Hahaha… So true! Who dares to
say we lose? The fight between an idiot and an idiot isn’t easy to challenge
and it’s always difficult to judge! After all, people around must not be that
‘blessed’ idiots!
…. Masima, that’s why they say,
Sushanta’s brain is a masterpiece. There is nothing right in its right portion
and nothing is left in the left one…. Hmm…
…. There’s two limitless entities
: The universe and A girl’s stupidity…. Scientists are working on the first
one, and they have happily decided to leave the second unexperimented!….lol
…. So true, Sir! And, the irony
is, this bliss can’t be enjoyed forever…
… Yes, it’s the truth almost
impossible to meet!
Without stupidity no jokes won’t be
created……
…. Dear brother, now the problem
is, the jokes I created, have started mocking at my life.
27 March 2011
Never think it compulsory to attend
a program or a party where your presence might be considered optional… Anyone
disagree?
…… no question poll, dost…..
just a sharing of thoughts. )
………. Friend,
handling this kind of
situation is quite
difficult and challenging……. I
know it very well indeed…… I better not join those
parties.
……… That’s great, bhai!! I
wish I were in Dhaka and join with you. I’m surely going to miss a nice
program!! Have fun.
………Friends,
no need to run away, attend it. I can understand your situation, I understand it. 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!!!
…Friend,
I’m still unemployed,
so what busyness is there,
I don’t understand all of it yet. However,
what you said is right….. Stay well, pray that I may be able to stay well.
….. 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.
…. Yes, that’s what personality
demands…
…. Yes Sir, now I understand what
you meant actually. I also attend such parties or programs. But I usually avoid
attending the occasions where humiliation might be just a foregone
conclusion… Thanks.

And… “The Battle” is
over!! Good Luck India!! The BIG crown waits for You!! Just GO and WIN!! And,
the History waits for “The Century of Centuries”!!!
Yes friends, it’s really tough to
beat the present Sri Lankan team… Bangladesh are not playing in that BIG
match. So, it’s all the same for me whether India win or lose, the cups comes
to Asia finally!…. Let’s wait and see what happens….
… Life’s going on in its own pace.
I’m just a beholder here…. Not awfully busy, a bit engaged occasionally,
though… Take care, brother.
Nicer to see you here on my wall….
You’re always most welcome, brother.
Brother… And yet… The irony is,
it’s the most Convincing Hell ever created…

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…
…. 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.
…. ধন্যবাদ ম্যাডাম, আপনার অনুপ্রেরণাদায়ক কথাগুলোর জন্য। আপনি সব সময়ই আমার জন্য এক পথপ্রদর্শক নক্ষত্র! …… প্রতিটি বন্দুকের নিজস্ব স্বর আছে। বন্দুক না বদলালে আমরা কখনই সেই স্বর বদলাতে পারি না। আমি সেই ‘পরিবর্তন’ ঘটাতে চেষ্টা করছি। সহজ কোনো ব্যাপার নয় এটা; তেমনি তুচ্ছ কোনো বিষয়ও নয় যে ছেড়ে দেব। জানি না আমার স্বপ্নের কাছে পৌঁছানোর জন্য কতটা বা কত কমই উড়তে পারব। কিন্তু জানেন ম্যাডাম, দিনের শেষে কেবল স্বপ্নরাই কথা বলে! প্রায়ই দীর্ঘশ্বাস ফেলি আমার সেই ধোঁয়াটে বিভ্রমের বছরগুলোর জন্য। পরিকল্পনা করতে পারিনি বলেই ব্যর্থতার পরিকল্পনা করে ফেলেছিলাম!… কখনোই শিখিনি কীভাবে জীবনকে সামলাতে হয়, কখনো চেষ্টাও করিনি কোনো সমঝোতায় আসতে। কী নির্বোধই না ছিলাম! আর তাই আমার পক্ষে কিছুই দাঁড়ালো না, আমিও কিছুর পক্ষে দাঁড়ালাম না। বাস্তব জীবনের অর্জনগুলো আমার স্বপ্ন থেকেও অনেক দূরে, আর এর জন্য একমাত্র দায়ী আমিই!…. যাই হোক, শেখা আর পড়াশোনা দুটোকেই ভালোবাসতে শিখছি। যা হবার তাই হবে। আর আমি আমার সেরা চেষ্টা করছি নিজের আর আমার শুভাকাঙ্ক্ষীদের জন্য পরিস্থিতি ভালো করে তুলতে।
…… কিন্তু স্যার, বড় কোম্পানিগুলো তো নিশ্চয়ই বানর নিয়োগ দেবে না!!
শিক্ষা অত্যন্ত গুরুত্বপূর্ণ, বিশেষ করে উচ্চতর প্রযুক্তিগত ও ব্যবস্থাপনা শিক্ষা। মানুষ বিনা কারণে শীর্ষ শিক্ষা প্রতিষ্ঠানের পেছনে ছোটে না। শীর্ষ ব্যবসায়িক শিক্ষাপ্রতিষ্ঠানগুলো মহৎ প্রতিভার জন্ম দেয় যা প্রবৃদ্ধির ইঞ্জিনের মূল উপাদান। আমাদের পোশাক খাতের কথাই ভাবুন। সব বড় প্রতিষ্ঠানকে তাদের বিপণন ও উৎপাদনের জন্য ভারতীয়, পাকিস্তানি আর শ্রীলঙ্কানদের নিয়োগ দিতে হয়েছে। কেন? বাংলাদেশে প্রযুক্তিগত দক্ষ লোক নেই। আরো বলি: জিএম, আইবিএম প্রভৃতিকে কর্পোরেট আমেরিকা বলা হতো আমেরিকা গড়তে তাদের অবদানের জন্য। বিশ্বজুড়ে মহান কর্পোরেশনগুলোর মৌলিক ও উদ্ভাবনী পণ্য ও সেবাই আজকের বিশ্বকে এমন করে গড়েছে! অনেকেরই কম ধারণা আছে কর্পোরেট মানুষেরা কীভাবে কাজ করেন। এটা সর্বদাই একটা যুদ্ধের পরিস্থিতি। প্রতিদিন কর্মক্ষমতা দেখাতে হয়, নিজের বাজার ও মূল মানুষদের ধরে রাখতে হয়, নতুন বাজার দখল করতে হয়। আমরা একটা প্রতিষ্ঠানকে শূন্য থেকে গড়ি… দিনে দিনে মাসে মাসে বছরে বছরে আমাদের কঠোর শ্রমে। আপনারা দেখেন পণ্য সেবা, চকচকে কর্পোরেট ভবন, গাড়ি, মোটা বেতন, জমকালো দুপুরের খাওয়া আর বিপুল লাভ। কিন্তু আমরা দেখি প্রতিদিনের চ্যালেঞ্জ আর প্রতি মুহূর্তে ভাবি আমাদের টিকে থাকার কথা। আর হ্যাঁ! এমন কঠিন প্রতিযোগিতার পরিস্থিতিতে টিকে থাকতে ও বেড়ে উঠতে উচ্চতর শিক্ষা, দক্ষতা, প্রজ্ঞা ও বুদ্ধিমত্তার প্রয়োজন!
….. 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.

Victory is just THERE!!
2 April 2011
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!!
Little master! You’ve missed it 6
times, and it happens finally!!
The grand Farewell to Tendulkar!!
In all practicality, cricket is the
national game of India…….people say it’s a religion….. above all other
religions uniting everybody. So winning world-cup was overdue. In 83, we
stopped winning-spree of west indies and thereafter they never won…….now
Aussies chariot has been halted. This win is bound to have long repercussions
in the days to come.
…… 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.
No, I am not referring to Sri Lanka.
I said the chariot of Australia has been put to a halt…..who had been
sweeping the world cup consecutively. Just imagine they never lost to any team
for the last 22 matches in the world cup…..before getting defeated this time.
Yes, it’s true. The first team to
defeat them was Pakistan, and later on, India defeated both Australia and
Pakistan.

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?
…..Sir,
I can’t write or speak very well,
and I probably don’t even know Bengali properly. Many people can do it well, so I too feel a strong desire—
if not like them,
at least to come close to their ability. I would be grateful for any advice.
…. 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.
……….Thank you for your advice. I often get tangled up in this matter. I’ve tried, but still I can’t write beautifully in few words. I suppose I’ll have to try harder.
………. I couldn’t quite understand
whether there was any irony in your words. If there was, then perhaps I deserve it. If not, then I’ll assume
it was your magnanimity. Thank you.
……….Friend,
I see you’re in my camp too!
I’m delighted to have found a companion. Let’s see what our other friends have to say…..
……… 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.)
……….You’re absolutely right, brother!
And I asked exactly in that way too.
……… Brother,
that’s all I can manage—
updating statuses (and commenting)
and that’s it!
………. Brother, knowing how
cheat weakness is a great virtue. Please share some cheat-codes. I also want to
win the game.
………Hey!
What are you saying! Why do you fear me for such a wrong reason? Now you know the truth, so don’t be afraid anymore, brother!
……….Sister,
your first statement is completely true, the rest are not. I don’t know how far you think I’ve come, but I can say with certainty that you’re not thinking correctly. And that you’re trying to learn from me—
that’s good. But learn carefully, I haven’t learned very much myself.
…… অত্যন্ত চমৎকার এবং আত্মঘাতী একটা পরামর্শ, স্যার!! ইংরেজ প্রেমিকা রাখতে আমার কোনো আপত্তি নেই, যদি তার না থাকে! আর নম্রভাবে বলছি, আমার যা নেই তা তো সে নিঃশেষ করতে পারবে না; বরং আমার বাবার সম্পত্তি নিঃশেষ করুক….হাহাহা…………… “ইংরেজি ভালো জানাই শিক্ষিতের লক্ষণ আর অর্ধসিদ্ধ মাতৃভাষা বলাই উচ্চমানের দেশপ্রেম!”…… কী মর্মস্পর্শী আর কী বিদ্রূপাত্মক!! যত বেশি শিক্ষিত, তত কম শেখা। যে কোনো কিছু অর্ধসিদ্ধ হলেও হজম হতে পারে, কিন্তু…. মাতৃভাষা?! ঈশ্বর তাদের মঙ্গল করুন!!
……. দাদা, আমার স্ট্যাটাসটা আসলে আমার দুর্বলতার জন্য ছিল না, সেটা তো প্রমাণিত!! আমি শুধু শক্তির কিছু ভিত্তি খুঁজেছিলাম। ধন্যবাদ।
…. হ্যাঁ ম্যাডাম, আপনি ঠিক বুঝেছেন!! এখন আমার কথা স্পষ্ট করতে দুটো বিষয় বলি….. প্রথমত, আমার অনেক বন্ধুর কাছে বাংলা একটি অ-মাতৃভাষা নয়। আর আমি আন্তরিকভাবে তাদের পরামর্শও চেয়েছিলাম…….. দ্বিতীয়ত, ইংরেজিতে আমি যে খুব কমসংখ্যক কাজ করতে পারি, তার মধ্যে দুটি হল: ফেসবুকে স্ট্যাটাস দেওয়া আর মন্তব্য করা। আপনার সুন্দর মন্তব্যের জন্য ধন্যবাদ।
…….. প্রিয় স্যার, আমি আইনজীবী বা ডাক্তার কেউই নই। আমার বন্ধুদের আমার “মক্কেল” বানানোর দরকার কী? আমার মন্তব্যগুলো দয়া করে পড়ার জন্য ধন্যবাদ।
……. ভাই, জলে ভরে থাকাই যথেষ্ট নয় যখন অন্য সবাই (বন্ধু আর অচেনারা উভয়েই) তা ভর্তি দেখতে পাচ্ছে না।
….. ঠিক আছে স্যার, আপনার শেষ কথাগুলো আমি প্রশংসা হিসেবে নিলাম। ভালো থাকবেন।
…. কী দয়ালু তুমি, ভাই। আমি আগেই অনুমান করতে পেরেছিলাম এবং তোমার সম্পর্কে এমন কোনো ধারণা আমি কখনো পোষণ করি না যা তোমাকে তুমি যা নও, সেভাবে ভাবতে বাধ্য করে।
…. ম্যাডাম, এখানে আপনাকে দেখে আনন্দিত। আপনাকে নিশ্চিত করতে চাই যে আমি মজা করছি না; বরং এখানকার মানুষজন আমার অনুরোধ নিয়ে তামাশা করছে, দেখছেন তো… দুঃখের সাথে বলছি যে আপনার মন্তব্যের শেষাংশ আমি বুঝতে পারিনি। আপনি কি দয়া করে সেটা আরো খোলাসা করে বলবেন? একজন লেখক হিসেবে আপনার অভিজ্ঞতার ভিত্তিতে আমি আন্তরিকভাবে কিছু পরামর্শ চাই। যে কোনো সুপারিশ স্বাগত। ধন্যবাদ।
… আপনার দয়ালু পরামর্শের জন্য ধন্যবাদ ম্যাডাম। মনে হয়, যে দেশে ইংরেজি মাতৃভাষা নয়, সেখানে এই তিনটি কাজ সব সময় করা আমার পক্ষে সহজ নয়। কিন্তু আপনার উপদেশ মানার চেষ্টা করব এবং বেশিরভাগ সময় এটা করব।
…. আমি কথ্য ইংরেজিতে সাবলীল নই,
অনুশীলনের অভাবে, আমার মনে হয়। এমন দুর্বলতা প্রায়শই লজ্জাজনক, তুমি জানো। আমার লেখার দক্ষতা আমার সন্তুষ্টির মতো নয়, যদিও কিছু অত্যন্ত সহৃদয় (তোমার মতো) ব্যক্তি তা মনে করেন। তারা আমার ত্রুটিগুলোর প্রতি সহনশীল, কেবল আমার প্রতি তাদের স্নেহ আছে বলে, কিন্তু আমাকে ঠিক সেটাই করতে হবে যা অর্থপূর্ণ। এই কারণেই আমি বন্ধুদের সাহায্য চেয়েছিলাম। ধন্যবাদ।
…. হ্যাঁ, আমি আগে এই প্রবাদটি জানতাম না। আমার ভাণ্ডারে এটি যোগ করার জন্য ধন্যবাদ। আমি (অল্প হলেও) তোমার ব্যাপক পাঠ্যাভ্যাসের বিষয়ে অনুমান করতে পারি। আর, তুমি তোমার লেখায় যে ধারা প্রায়শই অনুসরণ করো, তা আমার ভাল লাগে… সবাই লিখতে পারে, কিন্তু (ভাল) লেখকেরা তা ভিন্নভাবে করতে পারেন, এবং তারা তাই করেন। আমি কেবল এই পার্থক্যটি শিখতে চেয়েছি, এবং তা আমার নিজস্ব উপায়ে গ্রহণ করতে চেয়েছি। আমার ভাবনা এবং লেখার মধ্যে সেতু নির্মাণে সমস্যা আছে। আমার ভাবনা সর্বদা আমার লেখাকে ছাড়িয়ে যায়, যা নিয়ে সন্তুষ্ট থাকার মতো ভাল বিষয় নয়। তুমি কি দয়া করে কিছু বই (যা তুমি মনে করো) আমার পড়া উচিত (ভাল হয়, আমার বার্তার ইনবক্সের মাধ্যমে) সুপারিশ করতে পারো? আমার জন্য এত সহৃদয় কথা না লেখার জন্য নয়, বরং আমার সক্ষমতায় বিশ্বাস রাখার জন্য আরেকবার ধন্যবাদ। যত্ন নিও।
….. বিভিন্ন উচ্চারণের সঠিক অর্থ বোঝার ক্ষেত্রে তোমার দীর্ঘ প্রত্যক্ষ অভিজ্ঞতা আছে, কারণ তুমি লন্ডনে ৪ বছর ছিলে। এ বিষয়ে আমার প্রায় কোনো ধারণাই নেই। আমার কথা বলা ও শোনার দক্ষতা একেবারেই ‘ভয়াবহ’। দুঃখের বিষয়, আমি যা বলি বা অন্যরা যা বলে তার সঙ্গে সংযোগ স্থাপনের চেষ্টা করার সময় প্রতিটি মুহূর্তে আমার আত্মবিশ্বাস হারাচ্ছি। এটা একটা বড় সমস্যা, তুমি জানো। আমার লেখার ধরনও মূলত অপরিপক্ব। আমি যা লিখি তা অর্থপূর্ণ, কিন্তু ভাল অর্থে নয়….. আমার প্রাচীরে তোমার উপস্থিতির জন্য আরেকবার ধন্যবাদ, ভাই। যত্ন নিও।
……. স্যার, আমি কখনোই ভাবিনি যে পরিণতি যখন পূর্বনির্ধারিত বলেই মনে হচ্ছিল, তখন আমার ‘সেই পরিমাণ’ বিনয়ী ও ভদ্র হওয়ার কথা। (হ্যাঁ, আমি স্বীকার করি, আমাদের পারফরমেন্স এর চেয়ে ভালো কিছুর যোগ্য ছিল না) সত্যি বলতে, তুমি সব সময় ভাগ্যকে ঠকাতে পারো না। (সব সময় না, প্রতারণার কোডগুলো সব ‘স্বপ্ন-অর্জিত’ ছিল না)….. আমার মনে হয়, বাংলাদেশ ক্রিকেট দল লজ্জিত বোধ করার মতো যথেষ্ট অভিজ্ঞ নয়। হয়তো আমরা, বাংলাদেশি জনগণও, লজ্জিত বোধ করার যথেষ্ট অভিজ্ঞতা রাখি না!!…..হাহাহা
…… হ্যাঁ স্যার, চিন্তার কোনো ভাষার প্রয়োজন নেই, কিন্তু তা আরও বিকশিত হওয়ার জন্য প্রয়োজন, কারণ আন্তঃব্যক্তিক যোগাযোগ ছাড়া তার পুষ্টি কখনোই সম্ভব নয়। আমি যত বেশি ভাবি, তত বেশি আমার গভীরতার সীমাবদ্ধতা উপলব্ধি করি, তত বেশি তা ভাল করার তাগিদ অনুভব করি; আর সেই কারণেই আমি এখানে তোমাদের সবার সাথে আছি। তোমার উপস্থিতি আমার জন্য মূল্যবান, এবং তোমার জন্যও তা করতে, আমাকে সেই ভাষা শিখতে হবে যা আমার ভাবনার সাথে এবং যা আমি ভাবি না তার সাথে যোগাযোগের জন্য আবশ্যক।
…… উত্তম মানুষ, উত্তম চিন্তা।
…… Sir, before I read your
comment, I always had thought that Oscar Wilde had the best sense of humour of
all the people who had ever lived. And, you proved me was wrong……. But
truly speaking, I’ve always liked the witty way you often use in expressing
your thoughts; succinct yet very powerful!! And so, I just can’t help clicking
the ‘like’ button whenever I come across them. Being simple while writing is
the toughest task, I think. I’m no good at making a good sense in my writing.
Often, my thoughts make me feel better than my writings……. Reading you has
always been a great pleasure, Sir.
….. Masima, yes, learning never
seemed like ‘ reinventing the wheel’ to me before this discussion.
….. Sir, praise is always
healthier than chicken soup. And, please consider this as a treat on the very
special arrival of a new angel to your world. Please accept my heartiest
congratulations on your being a grandpa!! God bless you & your family.
…… Thank you, Sir, for the nice
wish. Hope it will remain as divine as it’s now, thereafter.
Dada, there’s already another one.
Thanks.
Thought: Five Hundred Fifty-One
……………………………………………………
5 April 2011
Praise is always healthier than
chicken soup.
Chicken soup is healthy for body,
praise is healthy for soul. Nourishment of soul is much more important than
that of body. A three pack soul is stronger than a six pack body.
And that’s why, it’s always better
to make a person feel entertained than to entertain him/her. Use words, save
money, feel and be felt better.
Old age, aging, the final years, and however many days remain alive… brother, why are you asking me to think so much? It’s life, yaar, let’s live it!… But whatever you say, guru, I suppose the mind can no longer be kept evergreen! No matter how much you shout yourself hoarse, age doesn’t sit there with cotton stuffed in its ears!… When my younger brothers walk by with their girlfriends, right before my eyes, flirting away, strutting past — my heart breaks, my heart splits apart!
…. 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.
…….. “I’ll understand everything, yet accept nothing.”……… This strange contradiction about love is innate to human nature. Humans are deeply contradictory creatures, and we are no different, brother!
‘Such cunning, such pain,
yet as if dipped in honey!’ Whether I eat Delhi sweets or not, I’ll regret it!……..Let me eat and regret anyway! What else is there in life? How much can one person truly get in a single lifetime!
…. You seem to answer all the
questions of your girlfriends. That’s great! Carry on, buddy! I really
appreciate it.
You’ll be soon famous when she
writes a book titled: “My Guy Knows Everything”… Or, “My best
boyfriend who could answer all the unanswerable questions of mine”….lol
….. 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, the most part of it we never
meet. Thanks.
…. Never be convinced that you
were born for sufferings. You’re entitled to all the pleasurers 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 the
different stream.
….. Criticism is better only when
it makes you feel better, otherwise it hurts. Good criticism is really better
than ‘just good’.
….. And nothing else can beat
their combination. It’s just superb, pleasing both body & soul.
……. Dada, entertain my sweet
didi with that healthier soup and see the miracle.
……. It’s all about being
entertained and entertaining. Anything that serves the purpose is good.
…… So nicely said! I wish our
superstores offered this very special soup! It sometimes becomes too costly to
afford to buy. But if bought and served properly, it can do miracle, and it
does.
….. 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 a 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)!!!)………..
……. I’m surprised too……. How
could you think that I don’t know!! I’m not an idiot, you know!! I’m
intelligent enough to judge a man (not a woman, dosto)………
Yes, I’ve a heart BIG enough to
accommodate blessings for all of my friends’ girlfriends (details of it, when
we’ll meet)……. And… the father of the church?? Go to a church and find
him there.
A youth beyond a human??…….
OMG!! You’re missing your “beyond a human” state, I’m sure!! Never mind dost.
Just being beyond a human is not everything in life, there’s something else to
be “happy” for!!……….
Ok, that’s a nice deal. I’ll bring
that medicine provided that you’ll give that chotpoti party! We can also go to
Love Lane for that party. Hope you can remember the day of our looooong
conversation.
6 April 2011
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 an idiot!!
Who dares to disagree with the
stupid (I mean, boss)!!…………….. Ouch!!
Being an idiot was never such a
pleasant matter, I can bet!!……. hahahahaha
7 April 2011
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!!
…….. Dada has truly spoken! Don’t laugh, I’m telling you not to laugh at all…….I’m already in a foul mood as it is!
…. 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.
…….. Oh my! Can one really be made? I had no idea! If it truly works out,
I’d be ever so grateful if you could make one!………
Hahahaha
…. Everything you’re thinking
about!
…. Then… The party-time is
surely knocking just at your door!!

All my bags are packed I’m ready to
go / I’m standin’ here outside your door / I hate to wake you up to say goodbye
/… Tell me you’ll wait for me / Hold me like you’ll never let me go…
It’s taken from “Leaving on a
Jet Plane”, a song written by John Denver, expressing not so much from
feeling that way for someone, but from the longing of having someone to love,
conjuring up emotions.
……
Guess I don’t know what’s, left to
say
But hear me out
All of the dreams of, yesterday
Keep breaking me down
What’s on the outside, can you say
Or am I getting carried away
It’s in your mind
It’s in your eyes
So, it’s goodbye again
It’s way past time
I notice that this appears to be a collection of English song lyrics rather than Bengali text that needs translation. The content includes what seem to be excerpts from various popular songs, formatted with WordPress paragraph blocks.
Since you’ve asked me to translate from Bengali to English, but this content is already in English, I believe there may be some confusion about what you’d like me to help with.
Could you please clarify:
1. Do you have Bengali text that you’d like translated to English?
2. Or are you looking for something else regarding this English content?
I’m here to help with Bengali-to-English literary translation when you have the appropriate source material to work with.
So, I don’t know how to tell you
It’s difficult to say
I never in my wildest dreams
Imagined it this way
But sometimes I just don’t know you
There’s a stranger in our home
When I’m lying right beside you
Is when I’m most alone.
………..
Oh, it’s been a long time since I’ve
listened
Still longer since I’ve walked with
you
For the first time I know what I’m
missing
Some answers are no longer true
So, I question the course that I
follow
I’m doubtful and deep in despair
My heart is full of impossible
notions
Can it be you no longer care?
How can I leave you again?
I must be clear out of my mind
Lost in a storm I’ve gone blind
Oh, how can I leave you again
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…
Which one to leave out and which one to speak of!
Such an artist is found once in a thousand years!
Chris de Burgh’s songs are also extraordinary!
They are real and raw musicians. Hats off to them!
…….. 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.

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.

I stayed home all day today. No, I wasn’t alone at all—Facebook was with me constantly, and so were some poetry books. What strange companions I have! They never abandon me and leave! I missed Father, Mother, and my younger brother terribly! On this particular day of the year, I’m never alone, so it felt quite difficult! Is this how it begins?… Friends, how did your Pohela Boishakh go?… Happy New Year 1418!
Dada, to enjoy coffee with you—that would be my greatest fortune! I know that someday I will surely see that beautiful day arrive… I had a few anthologies beside me, and I was turning through their pages. With me were Keats, Arnold, Neruda, Dryden… Sunil, Bishnu Dey, Shakti, Jibanananda, Sudhindranath… and a few translated poems (this collection is extraordinary!)… It feels terrible when I think that my reading habits are declining—then I miss the old days terribly, beloved people come knocking at memory’s door… yet sometimes I think, this is life indeed!
Stay well, Dada.
….. Shuvo Noboborsho 1418. It’s
nice to see you on my wall. Hope you’re fine along with your family. Thank you
for remembering me on the eve of this Bangla New Year. Take care.
15 April 2011
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.
encouragement is a grt help in
itself.
…. So true, Sir… Nothing
encourages like encouragement.

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.
…….. Love for women? What’s that, again? You know, friend, I hate girls and they hate
me…lol…. Still, the thing is, I don’t hurt anyone’s feelings, because…….
A heart that has been hurt is like a rose that never blooms!…….There shouldn’t be any doubt about the vastness of my heart! Even if there is,
then my suggestion for you is:
talk to your beloved girlfriends and see. And if that doesn’t work either,
then at least talk to your beloved. I know she
doesn’t lie to you!……..And……..yes, buddy,
I respect you…….didn’t you know? (I’ll respect your wife and sister-in-law a lot too, I hope; bastard,
then you’ll see what it means to have tears in your eyes!!)
….Friends,
let’s all form a
‘Eternal Bachelor Society’
after we get married. Our work will be to expose the terrible aspects of marriage to people. You’ll be the president. Guru, the vast knowledge you’ve gained without even marrying
makes me think
you should be given the award for ‘Most ineligible bachelor of the year.’ May brothers-in-law like you be born in every home…

Day after tomorrow is my management exam,
and today I’m sitting here listening to old Bengali songs of separation. I’m enjoying it quite a bit. But why? I don’t know! Can anyone tell me why?….O Earth,
be divided,
I climb the tree…
…. If love is your only payment,
I’m always ready to pay you highly.
20 April 2011
I couldn’t understand what not to
read for a Management exam till I sat for it today. Well, it was not that
monster I’d thought it to be. Yet, I was eaten up. Whom to blame now?
Thought: Five hundred fifty-three
……………………………………………………
20 April 2011
Half the trees in the world are cut
down to make up books for me, yet I’ve always been that stupid I was ever. Can
you blame me for it?
21 April 2011
What’s the best thing, you think,
you can buy or do with your money? Friends, please share….
A many servile flatterers.
Sai Ram. I have done many things good
and bad, but whenever I helped some one really in need, I felt best.
…. 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.
…… I hope you’ll be just THERE
just at the GAME time!!
……. Nice plan, really!! It’s be
great to imagine and must be even greater to have and feel!!
….. Very good idea!! My all-time
favourite decision!!
…… 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!!
…. You’re probably thinking of
buying love with money. Oh No! It can never be done!! Love can neither be sold
nor be bought!
….. 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.

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.
……. My heart just goes on and on
whenever I bathe in such wonderful tracks!!
….. মাসিমা, I don’t know whether
it really matters or not. What matters is what I care for or I’m cared for.
Even if it takes my whole life to know that truth, I’ll wait. But I won’t die
before I know. I believe, the end must be worth it!
….. 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?…… নিশ্বাস…..
….. 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!…
…. 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?…. ঈশ্বর মঙ্গল করুন!!
…. 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….হাসি
if they are yrs, they will return
And, to make them yours forever,
just set them on fire!…হাসি
