Bow: The ups and downs of Life

2013-09-02T13:51:00.001-07:00

After a long break I have come again to write a moral story about my practical life experience.

Let me start the tale -

Last night I could not sleep well because of load shedding problem which made me to get late in the morning today. Today my morning started at 12.00 pm. I woke up and did typical day to day activities and got ready for my office. When I went to the rickshaw stand most of the rickshaw pullers denied to take me to my desired destination. Some how I managed to get to the bus stand and got into a mini-bus. It was almost late for me to reach office and in the meanwhile the mini-bus entered into a gas refilling station and it was taking so much time, this is why I had to leave the bus and walk on my foots.

I reached my office, Reve Systems and got into our department on the 13th floor of Facilities Tower. I logged into my account from one of my colleague's PC. It took almost 3.00pm for him to leave the desk and that is why I could not get any desk to sit. I was turning furious about this issue and asked one of our senior colleagues to solve this issue.

No PCs were free for me to sit before and and it took about 6.00pm for me to get a free desk to sit before and work on. Somehow I spent my leisure time from 3.00pm to 6.00pm and started working in a desk that I got freed. It was just a boring day for me to pass because I had nothing to do. Somehow I overcame the duty hour doing some server updating activities and then it was 10.30pm and we were preparing for getting back to home. We got down from our office building and got into the office's car.

One by one the car dropped all of the colleagues of our department and at last it was my turn to get down from the car because I was near my home and was feeling like tired of passing a boring day. At 11.45pm I entered my room. My mom was awake and did not have her dinner because of me. So I got freshened and started eating.

Suddenly my mom said that my cousin who was pregnant gave birth to a sweet little angelic girl. I was amazed to hear that. This was my first good news of the day.

I finished my dinner and sat before my computer and started conversation with some of my class mates of 11th Batch of Department of Business Administration of Shaikh Burhanuddin Post Graduate College. All of a sudden my friend gave me a link and said that our semester final result was published. I searched for my name in the tabulation sheet and saw that I have passed. Although I could not make it to the top but I am happy that the Almighty has given a fruit for my last 6 year's patience.

And last of all, I mean now, I have realized that -

"An arrow can only be shot by pulling it backward. When life is dragging you back with difficulties, it means it is going to launch you into something great. So just focus, and keep aiming, something better is waiting for you."

Don’t tell a lie...Fix the Fox

2012-07-26T12:35:00.001-07:00

Following our past experience about "People are not always what they appear to be" we have come to know about another experience about lying and its demerits. Let's check out what we have learnt -

Rafael is one of the best advocates in the southeastern Barcelona. In his advocacy career he never failed to get is clients rid of the litigations which were placed against them. With his intelligence and sense of humor he helped all his clients to get rid of all their blames. He made it possible by hook or by crook. The life was awesome to him because he had experienced the best moments in it with his girlfriend Lily. They were about to get married as he remained one of the famous persons in the society.

One day after having won a litigation of one of his clients he decided to visit package holidays in Costa Brava one of the awesome sandy beaches in Barcelona. Let me tell you that “Costa” refers to the “Coastal” region and the “Brava” refers to the “Wild” but the actual meaning of “Costa Brava” does not refer to something wild this is just a place of interest for the holiday seekers to enjoy their holidays on the sandy beaches where not only the sea shore is enjoyable but also tracking on the wild mountains. Let’s come to the point, on a suitable morning he left for the Costa Brava and by the day he reached there and managed to find a suitable accommodation somewhere in a nearby place form the beach. That day when he was in the beach he met an octogenarian who seemed to be very much interesting to him so he kept communication with him. By an evening the old man called Rafael and showed a novel titled “Fix the Fox” that he wrote during his whole life. In this novel all the stories were referring to the cunningness of the lawyers. He stated that he wanted to be famous with his master piece. Rafael borrowed the novel from him and read it that night. By the morning he was called and asked to join that old man at lunch. But it was the irony of fate that Rafael got the man dead when he reached his home. Then he thought of publishing the book and did so. But he did not acknowledge the old man’s name in the novel due to grief of fame he put his name in the author. With the publication of that novel he got a huge response from the public and got famous. Somehow the novel got in the hands of COP who was fond of reading novels. He found the novel interesting when he went through the book. The matter that interested him was five different events which were stated in detail in that book. The bell rung his brain because all the events the author stated in this book were referring to real life events which remained unsolved by the police. For this reason, the COP went to Rafael’s house and asked him whether he wrote the novel or not. He asked the same question so many times and Rafael answered with positively each time. Then the COP arrested him and took into his remand. When Rafael asked the COP for the reason, the COP replied saying that the novel was referring to real and unsolved criminal incidents where all the information was found fully similar to this writing. Then Rafael tried to take back his words saying he did not write the novel but the COP did not believe him and tortured him hardly.

Learn Every Span has got another experience to share with you in which we have learned to –

Once upon a time there lived a simple boy with complex thoughts. His name was Neel and he lived with his parents. He was always told that his cousins were so much faster and modern than him. He was a dull boy for others. He was a kind of introvert for this reason almost everyone did not get together with him.

His mother always rebuked him because he could not go for shopping or he always denied going to the market either that was a vegetable market or that was for something else. He had a lacking in him and that was he could not bargain for the pricings of the products. Only for this reason he never tried to shop anything alone.

He learnt many things from the world. When he was an adolescent he got another lesson from life. This time he was shocked. He did some freelancing job for which he got sufficient within few days. By the grace of the almighty he did not have to ask for financial help from any of his friends never. On the late night of June he was not feeling very well to be in his room for this reason he went out and called one of his friends named Obak. He said that he was not feeling comfortable in his room for this reason he came out on the road. They both started to walk along the street. Suddenly they had a plan in their mind to visit a friend, who is a manager at a nearby transporting agency, named Sen2. Both of Neel’s friends used to smoke whenever they got together in that agency. That night both of them along with Neel were gossiping in his agency and Obak said Sen2 had something to say about Veer, Neel’s cousin.

Then Sen2 started saying what he was about to say –

He asked whether Neel’s was in need of any financial help. Neel got in a menace that he was asked about monetary help while he did not ask for it. Then Sen2 asked Neel that Veer took about two thousand bucks saying that Neel’s mother was in need of money while his younger brother was suffering from HBsAg. The loan was taken by Veer almost one year back. But Veer did not repay the loan he took.

Hearing this Neel was just stunned. It was like a bolt from blue for him. After recovering from being stunned he declared that his mother and he had never asked for any financial help for anyone before therefore Veer cheated Sen2. From then Veer he has been behaving like nothing happened. Neel would have been deprived of this matter if his friends would not have told him. So Neel thanked them because they contributed another experience in Neel's life.
The moral that I got from this story was -

People are not always what they appear to be.

After the realease of our post about "Importance of Industrialism" we are now sharing our thought about attitudes.

Zoe is the best student in his campus known for performing well in the extra-curricular activities. He has been popular among his friends and teachers within his campus. Because of his multiple talents he has always got the opportunity to participate in all type of extra-curricular activities in his school, college and in his universities.

He got his group formed with the best students of his friends. Firstly he was doing very well with his group but gradually he found that every one was praising his skills and trying to get him involved in what ever the matter was. Though all these matters were supposed to be the positive one’s because he never engaged himself with any mischievous deeds. But one day morning he could not sleep well and got up early in the morning as he had to attend the classes with the Finance teacher.

So he got up earlier that morning and brushed his teeth and had his breakfast earlier than other days. He was getting ready to start for campus he got in a mess with someone in the street for a very mere reason. In the meantime Ross one of his friends came and resolved their mess and took Zoe to the class. His friend had noticed that Zoe had become stubborn and was trying to prove him to be the right one while it was fully his fault.

By the passage of time Ross forgot about what happened in the morning and the behavioral change of Zoe. They performed as well as they were before and the day came to an end. The next day Zoe was seen by Ross getting in a menace with some of his group mates for what he had been boycotted by all other group members except Ross as he was his best friend. Then Ross tried to make him understand what his fault was but he was not able to understand what he did with all his friends in at the afternoon in the playground and estranged with Ross as well. All he did this because he started thinking that he was the only boy in the campus and in his friend circle who is capable of performing well in any tasks. But his such attitude mislead him to the alternated path where there was no one left to wait for him to perform or to take pride or to give hope to him for the betterment or Blah! Blah! Blah!

Suddenly he noticed there were no one left to talk to him or listen to what he says. When it came to campus performance he went to the rehearsals and saw there was someone else in his position because he had not been with the group for so long for which he lost everything he had including all his prides and performance. After that day he never went to his university and his parents took him to somewhere in the countryside where there was no one existed to know him.

The moral behind sharing this post is to let you know that -

“Showing excessive attitude will let you down in someone’s eyes, which has always been inspiring to you.”

Fay and Ruth are best friends from very mere age. Their families were well bonded with each other for this reason each of them was always facilitated with all that was provided to other. Gradually they grew up and understood different important things in their life. Though everything was provided to both of them equally but the cognitive knowledge was not equal in between them. When they were aged to be admitted into pre-schools both of them got admitted into the same class.

By and by the days started vanishing from their life and they were on the eighth year of their age timeline. In the school reports everything was fine but their result. They started failing every year due to the lack of care taken by their parents. They were very disheartened with their results and they made their first decision individually to march for a better result. Fay started to take unfair means in the exam by copying from others and many other ways. But Ruth did not like to take any unfair means in the exam because he thought such path will not only endanger his career but also lag him behind from all the knowledgeable things. For this reason, he thought of trying hard and spending more time with studies.

Fay always tried to attract Ruth towards the fun and enjoying life but he refused him every time because he had to shine in life. On the first year of Ruth’s hard working he could not make it to the top of the best students but Fay did it by taking unfair means in the exam. As they were best friends for this reason Ruth never disclosed the secrets of Fay’s tremendous results. But he also did not sit in the bench only he tried his best and had to face the criticizing of his parents always. But yet he did not take the unfair means and tried to spend more time in studies and this time he was on the top of the best student’s list.

Fay was astonished that he was not on the top of the list because this year everything he answered all the questions copying from others. For the fall of his rank Fay was very disheartened and then Ruth came to him and said “See we both promised ourselves that we will be on the top of the best student’s list but you are not on the top because you took unfair means in the exam and I tried my best to boost my results.” Then Fay understood what his mistake was and promised to Ruth that he will leave all the funs and enjoyments and will concentrate on his studies. Since then no one could break their records in the school’s best student’s list.

The moral of my story is -

“Industry is the key to Success.”

I have come from a simple living middle class family where there is a bunch of problems already set up in your life. The reason of saying bunch of problems indicates that there might be a solution to a problem but another problem will automatically arrive in front of you before you have resolved the first one. Anyways as I said there are lots of problems those are surrounding my life one of them I have shared with all of you because I am contrasting my problems with a national menace. My stories might seem boring but I always share my experiences only and only those experiences which taught me something.

It was almost half past two at midnight. Generally I go to bed at 2 or 3 am in the morning. But that night I went to bed early. I was enjoying my sleep and the dreams those were hovering around my mind. In the meanwhile I felt something bit on my back. I did not realize it firstly but it was continually biting me. I got up and lit the lights in my bedroom. The astonishing thing was I found lots of ants were marching on my bed with a dead cockroach. I got a mop in my hand and forced it on my bed. All on a sudden I saw there were no ants left in my bed, not even the cockroach.

Then I went to my bed again and tried to sleep. But something raised a storm in my brain to think what I have done. All the night I kept thinking about the matter but was failing each time I researched the matter. Just before the dawn I found my answer. The solution I got was related with our country. Let me say something about it –

Bangladesh used to be in the least10 ranked corrupted countries in the last few years. Though it has improved its conditions to the ranking is at the 120^th position of the Transparency International’s, Corruption Perceptions Index, 2011. The reason of this ranking was caused due to some insect formed human beings who did not think of others but did all their crimes. They did brutal murdering of the innocent people, kidnapping, thefts, robberies and many other mischievous deeds. But we remained silent because we were simple living human beings but we did not think that all they are causing lose to whom were us. For this reason, I would like to request all those brave people to come forward to mop out these insects from our beloved homeland Bangladesh.

The contrast of my story with Bangladesh’s circumstances is if you want to keep your country free from corruption you need to mop these insects out of the homeland. Only then you will able to earn a comfortable living in this Land of Rivers, Bangladesh.

The lesson I have got from my story was –

“In order to sleep well you need to wake up first.”

Impossible is Nothing

I am a graduate student today but I think I could not have survived this much if someone special in my life would not have sacrificed the most favorite thing of his life. The special person I am going to talk about is my father. Let me come from the first scene I remember. In my very mere age my father used to work as a night guard in the embassy of Islamic Republic of Iran which is situated in Dhaka. For which he always was the latest person to return in our locality. During this profession he went through great joyful and comfortable life.

But due to some bureaucracy of some other colleagues of his office he had to leave his only source of income and our family’s only financial support. After that nightmare dream our life had changed. My father became a vagabond and started to smoke daily. Some day he inhaled almost five or six packets of cigarettes which were really annoying especially for me. I always remain on the other side of the flow whenever it comes on cigarette smoking. I did not know that “cigarette smoking is injurious to health” hence I disliked it much. One day we were out for a family picnic with more than 200 peoples. I sat with one of my uncle who was a chain smoker but I was completely unaware of his habit. This unawareness caused a great difficulty for me. My friends said that I was gone out of my mind for almost half an hour. My father understood my problem and thought of it.

Six years later when I was in the twelfth standard my lunges got affected with Bacteria that caused me to suffer from TB (Tuberculosis Bacillus). My health was weakening day by day. I turned into a man who has only skeletons without any muscles. I was hospitalized but my health was not improving. One more thing I would like to say is “My father loved me more than anything in this world”. For this reason he was always there with me and took the best care of my health. One day got a chance to ask for something and I did. I asked my father to leave his only bad habit which was not only affecting him but also was taking our lives at stake. My father firstly denied me but from the second day I saw that my father did not smell like he smoked that day. I thought he might have washed his tongue so that he does not smell. Two days passed I was astonished and asked my mother whether my father left cigarette smoking or not. She said that he left smoking since the day I asked him to leave it. I just got another lesson in my death bed that there is nothing in this world that can enslave a human being, although I was recovered by the patience and potentials of my parents. Again there is nothing in this world that men can not enslave.

The moral of my experience indicates two things those are almost similar –

“Impossible is nothing.”

“Man is not a slave of his own habit rather habit is the slave of man.”

“Time and Tide wait for none” but “Life is more valuable then time”.

Janu was a pickup van driver living in the Old Dhaka regions. He had a kid who was only four or five years old and lost her mother in a very mere age. Then the driver got remarried with her second wife Shahinoor. By a one year she also got pregnant. Oh! I forgot to tell you that he was an inhabitant of Faridpur (one of the sixty four districts and is supervised under Dhaka division in Bangladesh).

During her pregnancy Shahinoor was living at her parental house as it was her first child to be born. So he just left her in his in laws house and every weekend he went to meet her. Last weekend he had a delivery of products outside the district so that he could not meet her beloved wife. So he postponed all his plans to visit his in laws house and did his duty.

Few days back he went to visit the in laws and to see what were the conditions of Shahinoor? She was very charmed to see that her husband came to see her crossing almost hundred miles from his house. He stayed there for two days which were really memorable to both of them. Shahinoor insisted Janu to stay there for the week. He thought of her health and decided to stay there for a week. But that day his boss called him back and asked for another delivery. For this reason he had to hurry to get back to work.

Some how he managed his wife to permit him to get back to Dhaka. Every one at his in laws house was asking to stay there for few days more with them. But he denied all of them and purchased a ticket to get back to Dhaka. When he arrived at the bus stand the bus was fully to brim. There was not a single space to stand still. So he thought he should get on the roof of the bus so that it will be enjoying as well as easy on his part of journey. (In the South Asian countries like Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and some other countries the population is dense for which it is often seen that people use the top of the buses and trains for their transportation.) Janu took such decision and got up to the top of the bus. The bus was moving faster and the scenario was awesome from the bridge over the Padma River. When the bus was passing through a CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) operated auto-rickshaw came in front of the bus by chance. The bus driver had to hit the hydraulic break to save the auto-rickshaw and it was successful to do so. But Janu slid from the top of the bus and fell down upon the road in front of the bus. He was hit in the head so badly and died on the spot.

All I want to say about this incident is the intensity of hurrying in everywhere. We should keep in mind the following moral that –

“Time and Tide wait for none” but “Life is more valuable then time”.

Might is Right: Story on ICC World Cup 2011

2012-04-16T16:05:00.000-07:00

I am an inhabitant of Bangladesh. It was really a thrilling and enchanting matter for us that ICC World Cup 2011 will be held in the South Asian countries including the Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and India. As I was living a few kilometers away from the Mirpur Stadium at Dhaka therefore I thought a dream of mine will come true. Along with me some other friends of mine also dreamt of watching the ICC World Cup live in the stadium sitting before the players. We were just building castles in the air regarding this event.

The schedule of the first match in which the participating countries were Bangladesh and India was on 19^th February, 2011 at 2.30 pm. We thought we are sure to watch the match in the stadium as one of our friend was working in the City Bank the only seller of match tickets in Bangladesh. Days were passing slowly. One day the tickets were made available in several locations of City Bank’s branches. One of the branches of this bank was at Islampur, Dhaka which is one of the densely populated areas in Old Dhaka. We thought we should get into queue from the night before the tickets would be sold from. For this reason all of our friends got together at Islampur at midnight at 12.30am. Our assumption worked that when we went there found there was a long queue of people gathered to purchase the tickets to watch the match. We also got into that queue. The night is really memorable because for the first time in our lives we sat before a dust bin. People were gossiping around us, we also spend the whole of the night in gossiping at the verge of the night we were feeling sleepy for that reason we collected some old newspapers from here and there and carpeted them on the road. For the first time we slept before a dust bin on the dirty road beside the drains. It was really terrible and noteworthy night for each of my friends including me. By and by the night was over after the Fajr (day’s first prayer in Islam) prayer we got back on our queues and waited for the bank to open. At about eleventh hour some punks who were the inhabitant of that area came and started to bully upon the people who were in the queue. Then the public got scattered and those punks faked with the public and told that they were trying to manage the queue. With all of their tricky talking they entered inside the queue and made it longer than before. Where we were standing after thirty persons from the ticket counter they pushed as after three hundred persons. In that ticket counter the tickets were available for only hundred and twenty persons. We understood the menace and left that queue with our gloomy faces. We returned home and slept the whole day to recover last nights sleep.

Anyways the lesson we were taught that night was –

“Might is Right”

Mirza liked to play with computer hardware and software. This is why his relatives call him if they face any computer related problems and he is a fool that always tries to help them even though he is in hurry for personal works. One day his uncle Mr. Farhan’s laptop was not working this is why he called Mirza. As usual he repaired his uncle’s laptop without looking at the time.

A few days after, Mirza’s pc crashed and he called his uncle to call for his friend who was the seller of Mirza’s pc. Then Mr. Farhan said that he would call his friend as soon as he gets back to home. Mirza was waiting for the response from Mr. Farhan. The time was passing by 8 to 9, 9 to 10, and when the hands of the clock was about to touch 11^th hour, Mr. Farhan called him and said that he could not meet his friend and told Mirza he will take his friend with him in Mirza’s house. Then Mirza realized that Mr. Farhan was just ignoring him.

The moral of my story was -

"You might have helped someone thousands of times, but when you need them they will not even hang out with you."

How about reading this story: "Life of an Eaglet"

Life of an Eaglet

It was growing up as a Moorfowl baby. It started behaving like Moorfowl and started crowing like it and it never new how to fly high in the sky. Days were passing by and by...

One day it saw an Eagle was flying in the sky. It was astonished to see, something up in the air and asked so called mother, what was that?

The mother Moorfowl stated " It's an Eagle, an awesome big bird. Though you look like this bird but you were born as a Moorfowl. You can never fly like that bird."

The Eaglet believed the mother Moorfowl and never tried to fly. The days were passing somehow. The Eaglet was grown up and one day it died.

The Eaglet was born to fly high in the sky but that truth remained unknown to him!

The Moral of this story is...

Lord is a student in the National University of Bangladesh. His background of study is Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA). He got admitted in this university in the 2008. Now he is in the 7^th semester. He had a little knowledge about computer and for what he always showed off his expertise to others. One day a senior lady came to him and asked to help her to prepare her internship report. He thought it would be a great chance to learn how to write internship report. He took the responsibility to prepare it for the senior lady. Surprisingly it took less time for him to prepare the report. The lady disclosed the qualities of Lord in front of her friends and other students in the department. Gradually, he became popular among his classmates. There was another reason behind his fame, which is his punctuality. His teachers as well as other junior students began to seek help from him. He got a little bit busy doing all these things and helping others. In the meanwhile, other classmates were shining in their results. But he was getting detached from his studies and attached with these unnecessary jobs. His CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average) was gradually falling down but he did not notice. It was so late, when he understood that his CGPA is much lower in contrast with his classmates. Then he decided he would not show off everywhere and he reduced the frequency of helping others.
The moral of this story is

“Excess show off might mislead you.”
