Did you know....

Those who appear to be very strong in heart, are real weak and most susceptible?
Those who spend their time protecting others are the ones that really need someone to protect them?
The 3 most difficult things to say are : I love you, Sorry and Help me?
When you help someone, the help is returned in two-folds?
It's easier to say what you feel in writing than saying it to someone in the face? But did you know that it has more value when you say it to their face?
If you ask something in faith, your wishes are granted?
You can make your dreams come true? If you ask for it by faith and if you really know, you'd be surprised by what you could do.

Monsoon 1

A village woman dips into the pond near her house for water. This is age-old practice in our rural area particularly in the monsoon seasons of Bangladesh.

Look at the human life and water of my village (Tangail, 1991). Fisherman are always interesting character in our rural life. Wide looking area with monsoon light is the art of my country, Bangladesh.

Trivia 1

Two people can get married, but more people are needed in a divorce.
Anything is fair in love and war.
Late to remember and quick to forget.
Politics is a self-serving business in the name of the people.
He is like the fool who stays up all night trying to find out how he goes to sleep.
Life is either a dream or a nightmare. Superstition is when one is obsessed with either.

Confused on everything...

There was a time in my life (student life) when I could draw a line between opposites. Good was good and bad was bad. Innocent was innocent and guilty was guilty.

Then reality came to my world (professional life) and made me confused on everything. Now I can't tell the difference even between black and white.

Politics is the magic detergent that washes all stains, so that the same person returns like fresh laundry again and again. Get power, abuse it, step down and go clean.

Perhaps we have failed to audit our own behavior. Everyday we are swimming on calculator, trying to accomplish a life that is so-called professional standards.

The conflict of ideology

All ideological conflicts have claimed innocent lives in the name of larger interests. Check it out the list:

Mao Zhe Dong is responsible for over 30 million deaths in the name of communism in China.
Lenin sent 4 million and Stalin sent 20 million Russians to death over their struggle for communism.
Adolph Hitler's Nazi madness cost 35 million lives during the Second World War.
Pol Pot killed 2 million Cambodians and
Che Guevara ordered hundreds of people to execution under his watch.

Responsibilities…

What has been happening to us?

Everybody talks,
nobody listens.

Everybody seeks,
nobody finds.

Everybody looks,
nobody sees.

Everybody pretends,
nobody intends.

Everybody owns,
nobody shares.

Everybody commits,
nobody cares.

A Successful Man...

A successful man is a conglomerate story. He wants to become many in one. He is a business magnate, director of many companies, owner of a university, owner of a restaurant, and owner of a clinic. He wants everything money can buy including talent and dignity, proving that not only had he triumphed over poverty but also achieved a position in life to dispense what he could not get when he was growing up.

Corruption, chaos and conflict...

We have got more chiefs than Indians, more leaders than followers, more singers than listeners, more newspapers than readers, more banks than customers, more TV channels than time to watch, and more mouths than words.

Everyone is thinking, everyone is writing, singing, talking and initiating, yet we are not moving.

Poetry 1

Passion

I wish you bluebirds in the spring
To give your heart a song to sing
And then a kiss, but more than this
I wish you love
And in July, a lemonade
To cool you in some leafy glade
I wish you health, and more than wealth
I wish you love
My breaking heart and I agree
That you and I could never be
So with my best, my very best
I set you free I wish you shelter from the storm
A cozy fire to keep you
But most of all, when snowflakes fall

End of Time

Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place.
Suddenly it moves with such a perfect grace.
And there's no mountain too high, no river too wide.
Storm clouds may gather, and storms may collide
But I love you until the end of time.

Words

Words that hurt
Or do they heal

Words are mean
But do they ring true

Words untamed
Flying though the air

Words are useless
They prove nothing

Words free hostility
While emission poison

Words can kill
Heart will never recover

Poetry 2

At Last

Cherish your vision;
Cherish your ideals,
Cherish the music that stirs in your heart,
The beauty that forms in your mind,
The loveliness that drapes your purest thoughts.
If you remain true to them, your world will be built at last.

Inspiration

People are often unreasonable, illogical and self-centered.
Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives.
Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies.
Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you.
Be honest and frank anyway.

What you spend years building, someone may destroy overnight.
Build anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous.
Be happy anyway.

The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow.
Do good anyway.
