The one thought that I cannot purge, as I am sitting cross-legged on the street at Shabagh square and chanting death to the collaborators, is this: what will happen when all these war criminals are hanged? Will this put an end to the bickering politics, unbridled corruption and all other looming crisis that the nation is facing? And then, I have this epiphany: what is happening now could be the long-awaited youth awakening to build a beautiful Bangladesh. Details…
They say “Life’s hard!” Hard in a sense that we have to struggle a lot to survive the moments. In fact from the elementary level we grow up learning that, “life is not a bed of roses .” But is it only me who finds life so easy? Or it’s actually easy?

The shooting of 14-year-old Pakistani children’s right activist Malala Yousafzai on a school bus in the Swat valley has been denounced worldwide. Peace-loving people around the world have been offering prayers for this brave girl’s quick recovery. Why did the terrorists, the so-called Talibans, attack this innocent teen? What were Malala’s wrong-doings? The answers of these questions are very clear. Malala gained fame for blogging about how girls should have rights in Pakistan, including the right to education.

Frequent price hike of electricity- who will to bell the cat?
-Md. Zahidul Islam (Milton).
Recent price hike of electricity has been arisen question among the ordinary people of the country. Several times it has been increased during the period of this regime which is bit irritating for the authority too. It may help to rethink people to reduce the consumption of the electricity but it is necessity to drive the massive operation to cut illegal connection of the electricity throughout the country, especially in the big cities like Dhaka, Chittagong, Khulna etc. as well as to stop the bribe of the line man who takes the monthly commission from the subscribers reducing or stealing the units.
Driving anti-corruption operation, government can save huge electricity and to earn huge revenue too. Without resisting or removing irregularity and corruption it’s not possible to attain sufficiency in power in the developing country like Bangladesh. Let’s hope that the concerned will be alert enough to get rid of this problem in near future for the sake of our national interest.

I was imagining this scenario - My sons and daughters have stopped going to several private tutors rather they are rising early in the morning.

Then they will browse internet to read daily newspaper to keep themselves abreast of the happenings from home and abroad and write their feelings on social network websites to share their high ideals with others and be inspired by others high ideals and feelings.
