I dream of sleeping

fotoflexer_photo.jpgThe hot weather wasn’t doing any mercy to me and the exasperating realisation of my brand new jeans and the hovering fan having an alliance with it, made things worse. For what it was worth, he was sleeping peacefully, supervised by my watchful red strenuous eyes, audibly assuring his semi-anesthetised state with mild snoring, melting away in sweat (loved the smell though but couldn’t puff enough because of a stupid guy’s intention of discovering the Taj Mahal in my fascia from a bed across the room!), Details…

Crush the coaching business!

Abdus Subhan | 2 July 2012 7:34 pm

20120614-tution-460.pngI was imagining this scenario - My sons and daughters have stopped going to several private tutors rather they are rising early in the morning. They will say their prayers peacefully without any thought of going to the private tutors chasing them at that pristine time.

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.

Truly speaking, they are excluded from all level, primary to university, of our educational planning. Details…


Of Interim/Caretaker government — signs of silver linings? Part- I

Syed Muhammad Hussain | 26 June 2012 9:08 pm

I.

Like the overwhelming majority of people in Bangladesh, we all are so much encouraged by the recent political comments, statements and hopefully, positive positions of our leaders across the divide. An ominous cloud was taking hold of the scenario around the national issues, especially on the crucial point of the nature of administration to cover the forthcoming general elections in early 2014. The nation that had gone through a series of traumatic episodes in the past is praying for a miracle in the shape of a peaceful transition of state power ( and not forgetting the responsibilities that go with it ) through an acceptable and transparent process of free  and  fair nation-wide elections.

Traffic system must be upgraded!

Md.Zahidul Islam Milton | 20 June 2012 7:34 pm

Road accident has become one of the common phenomena of our country these days! If we notice some recent issues or even the older ones, most of the time we can see the news of road accidents. It might happen because of unplanned roads or even due to the huge number of alleys in the city, full of huge population. Sometimes the roads are not strong enough to carry heavy transport. Eventually the damaged roads claim lives and the number is really huge. Details…

Of Somudra Bijoy

The honourable PM makes a traffic mess as she accepts kudos from her party-minions, for she has conquered the sea! No, she did not brave the boisterous sea, nor did she encounter the seductive sea sirens as did the brave heart of Ithaca. Details…
