Another year passed (2012), some stories became old, and
some took a new twist. I don’t have any new plan for this New Year… I am going
to follow my old plan. And to do this, I have to take some new steps. Like have
to admit my son to a school etc. Nothing new, nothing special, just as usual
life, but very hard to continue in properly and see the success. I hope this
year people will be more alert on their behaviour to a woman (some recent story
really shaken me up). From the bottom of my heart I am wishing Happy New Year
to you all.

Shafeen’s first tour in Dhaka Zoo
Me and Shafeen, Shafeen fall in sleep. |
Last Friday (December 28, 2012) my elder sister asked me, would
I like to go to Dhaka Zoo (at Mirpur 1)? Shafeen said YES! Tameem (my elder
sister’s son) told him many stories about animals and zoo. Like, they can ride
on elephant and horse, can see many animal etc. My son became very excited.
At 9am we start from home. We took foot over bridge on KamalapurRailway Station. Children were very to see the trains. It was very cold all
over the day. I thought when we start walking we won’t need any sweater, but
every moment we are feeling its getting more cold. Whole day we felt the same
weather.
Then we took a bus “Shokolpo” to the Zoo. It was Friday, so
we didn’t face any traffic jam, though whenever but stops in any stoppage my
son asking me, are we there? My sister Sharmin replied, we have to go to the
last stoppage to reach the Zoo.
We cut ticket and get inside. Children didn’t want to miss
to ride on the elephant so we look at the map and decide to go to the elephant’s
place first. It was at the end of the Zoo. We look at other cages on the way to
the elephant. Those animals that can fly or climb up can get rid of the cold
concrete floor, but others don’t have choice, I really felt bad for those
animals.
Shafeen (my 4 years old son) enjoyed a lot. Even after
reaching home he wanted to go back there. I said OK, I will put you in a cage
and stay there. Then he changed his mind.
My suggestion for the visitors is take plenty of food and
beverage with you, don’t even think to buy from inside because they will bill
triple and even more which you didn’t order. They will just put it on your table,
whether you take or not will bill in your account. And you can take a big cloth
to sit and enjoy. For children you can take ball, racket or anything to play.
We found horse to ride. Shafeen first was very afraid to ride
on it, but after riding he didn’t want to get down. We had to buy ticket for other
round. Both Tameem and Shafeen touch the horse and they were very happy that
the horse didn’t get angry. We waited for the elephant too, but horse guy
informed us that for last two months they didn’t bring out the elephant.
Shafeen wanted to play with the dust too, but his cruel
mother again didn’t let him do. So, he decided to walk with his aunt and bro but
mother. His mother also disturbed him a lot to wear the cap because of cold
weather.
One thing really surprises me. We didn’t see any coldweather bird in the lake. The lake was empty. What happen? Isn’t it time to
come our migratory guest birds? Did we pollute the lake too much that they didn’t come? Or
we eat them all! Allah knows.
We get back home again with bus, this time, we
took bus to firmgait first. Then Firmgait to Malibugh circle. In bus Shafeen
fall in sleep. I felt really difficult to change bus with a sleeping boy. But
we enjoyed every moment.

Mini gets together by Deborah
This picture is from an old day’s celebration, probably our
monthly lunch together. From left you can see Tipu bro, Emran, me and Deborah. It was taken at August, 2006.
|
Yesterday we (ex-colleagues)
had a mini get together and had really some very good moments. All credits goes
to Deborah. She came in Bangladesh for few days (will stay till January 19,
2013) and wanted to meet with all of her friends and well wishers. So, she
asked all of her ex-colleagues (most of) who are in Bangladesh right now to “Gloriajean’s” at December 27.
First I thought this is
not a very good idea. It’s better to meet individually at home or other place.
Because there are many internal clash going on between many people, if one
shows another won’t come. But I decided to go; I wanted to meet with her, and
who ever join there. And I am happy that I didn't miss that.
I decided to go at 5pm
and wanted to stay one hour then will return, because I had to come back alone,
and I really afraid to go out at night (after some incidence). I knew, if I
took a rickshaw it may take 45 minutes, but I took 15 minutes in hand because
of traffic jam. But Allah helped me; I was there at 4:45pm. I called Deborah,
because no one was there. That’s OK, before Tipu bro show up, I spend my time
by watching people and their activity. I asked a waiter to arrange a table for
10 to 12 people; he replied it will take time, so please wait. I found a corner
with a comfortable sofa and enjoyed my own time.
At 5:30 pm Tipu bro came.
We met with each other after a long time. We spend time by knowing each other’s
current status and about our surroundings. I guess after 10/15 minutes Deborah came.
I got her message after that. Sorry, Deborah I didn’t replied because on that
moment we were all busy with chitchat. Then Tazeen, Saira, Moin and Mrs Moin
came. We enjoyed coffee together. Thanks for the coffee Deborah, I never had
such a worse cappuccino, but because of you and others company everything goes
perfect.
We took some pictures, I should have collect from others camera through Bluetooth,
but forgot. I have my ones but I can’t upload those for some technical problem.
I will fix that problem soon, hopefully.

Feminine style
Shafeen (my 4 years old boy) don’t like girly things. If he
knows once, girls do so, he won’t try it again. In the picture you can see my
elder sister (Sharmin) gave dot mark on Shafeen’s leg. Shafeen liked the
decoration. But once he gets to know it’s something feminine, he never wanted it
again.

Kitchen hand gloves can be very helpful in winter
Shafeen playing with water, here Shafeen 3 years and 9 months old. |
For 2 weeks I had suffered with cold and tonsil problem. I started
taking antibiotic. I saw no result after 3 days of taking antibiotic. Whenever
I touch water (cold) in kitchen cough increased. But I had to clean dishes,
wash vegetables, meat, fish or rice. Then I found a solution. I start using hand
gloves. Once I bought it for emergency
cases. Because when I cut my hand I couldn't put band aid or any other
bandages, because when it got wet, it comes out. So, on those days I had to use
gloves. Now it worked in winter. After using gloves I recovered within 2 days
(with antibiotic).
I also found these gloves are more hygienic. Because you do
only kitchen work with these. So, it’s more germs free. It protects your nails
and keeps your hands clean. It is also helpful not to get color from turmeric and
many more facilities. I suggest all who works in kitchen should use hand
gloves.
It has negative sides too. It is difficult to keep wearing
gloves and does the entire kitchen work, when you are not use to. I don’t know
whether I can wear it in summer or not. With cloves, it is little difficult to cut
vegetables in mini piece, because a knife can cut the gloves too. You also had
to take extra care when you are working with fire. It’s plastic, so you know.
Despite all these negative things, I really found gloves are
very useful in kitchen work.
When Shafeen started eating by himself
Shafeen was 1 year and 6 months old. He started eating by
himself. His uncle gifted him this Doremon plate. He didn’t know about Doremon
on those days. Now (he is now 4 years old) understands and feels great to eat with
that plate. But still I use to feed him, otherwise me messes up the room, which
I had to clean up.

For the first time, my son let me go outside alone
Shafeen took this picture by himself.
|
After my son’s birth, there are very few places, where I
went without him. He also made me promise that I can’t go anywhere without him.
Yesterday suddenly he changed his mind. I wanted to go outside; I asked my son
(Shafeen, 4 years old) will you go with me. I knew he will say yes, and will
start jumping. But he said, NO. I will stay home alone and will play. Just open
my moto1 game (I had to change the graphic settings). That will be enough. I
again asked, are you sure? Yes, he said. “I don’t have any problem, I can stay
alone”. Hmm, my son has grown up. He is now letting me go out without him!
I thought I will ask someone to stay at home from my mother’s
house; I just can’t let him stay alone. By this time my elder sister came, she
said she will sleep at her room. I requested her to keep her room’s door open. That’s
it. My son will stay by himself… just for emergency keep your door open for him.
She agrees.
While I was getting ready, my mom came to take care of her rood/baranda
garden. She saw the situation and told me, she will take Shafeen with her home,
so no worry. When I was at the door, suddenly Shafeen run towards me. He didn’t
say anything just looking at me. I know what he wants; he wanted me to ask him
to come with me. No dear, if anyone wants to leave me once, I never let them
come back to me again. So, no mercy for my son too and he knew it. So, finally
he asked me, will you bring me a toy where ever you go. I replied, I will buy
it from the small shop at the door, will it be ok? He gave me a smile and said
YES. Then I went alone to Shantinagar Meena Bazar.

Pillow cover
Sharmin (my elder sister) and Shafeen with a flower hat (cushion cover) |
Shafeen likes hat. No matter what he founds he tries to use
it as a hat. In the picture he was wearing a pillow cover as his hat. My
youngest sister Shekha presented this pillow to him as he likes flower very
much. And you can see how he makes it useful. He was only 1 year and 5 months
old. In background you can see my elder sister Sharmin.
How to have some more space to take breath
In our country we like to meet people, especially with
relative or friends. So, we don’t bother whether we have enough recreational places
or not. We like visit other houses (friends or family) and enjoy time with each
other. Nothing wrong with it. But sometimes we also look for some place where
we can enjoy time with company (who ever you want to take with or alone) and
enjoy a new beautiful place. Sometimes we only need to see other things to get
relax. I have heard from many villagers that they want to come to Dhaka to see
the zoo and airport (to view how airplane gets up and down). Zoo is available but
not the second one. We all know that.
Here is my thought (of course it’s my blog, where I always
place my thoughts), when we build any public structure we can give some extra
space for visitors. Like we have seen in afternoon, many people go to the
flyover and river bridge or beside the bank of the river only to have some time
in open air. Why don’t we make little space for that? We can give charge to any
company who will be responsible for the visitor’s space, sitting arrangements,
food, cleaning, safety and other things. They can ask small charge for that too
(like 2 to 10 taka per head). Airport, bus stand and many other places where we
can make some space for that. So, urban people can go there with their friends
and family and have some good time.
I know everything has some negative side. But we can
overcome those too. The negative side could be:
a ) the company may took money and give bad service.
b) If people start taking too much money, poor may not get
enter.
c) We all know in our country everywhere people do and fight
for chadabazy (demand money without any authority), here this problem may arise
too.
But if we could overcome or minimize all problems,
we can give the urban people more and different kind of recreational space and
they don’t have to live like a cage.

Boys will be boys
Shafeen injured |
After 2 days |
No
matter how hard we try, our kid fall down and get injured. This picture was
taken when Shafeen (my 4 years old son) was 1 year and 5 months old and went to
the roof with my youngest sister’s family. He enjoyed running and running the
whole roof and suddenly fall down. You can see how badly he got injure. It took
long time to get recover. But he doesn't care. He always likes that,
if he gets pain from anywhere he will do that again, to know why and how this
kind of thing happens. What will I do with this boy?

Sunglass point
The picture had been taken before bhabi lost her
sunglass.
|
Few months ago we went to Cox’s bazaar to enjoy the beach ofBay of Bengal. Last day we all go into the water (generally I went everyday)
and one bhabi suddenly said she lost her sunglass. She gave all blame to her
husband who wanted to get drown her in the sea water and this happen. Her
husband’s excuse is if you don’t get drowned in the water then why are you in
the sea. Anyway the point is sunglass missing. After sometime I felt something
below my leg, first I thought a rock, so, I wanted to pull it out and because I
don’t want to cut my leg with it. And then I found it’s a sunglass. I was
really happy that finally I found bhabi’s sunglass. I gave it to her and she
said it’s not her. It’s for gent, ops, and my happiness gone. Though I didn't take it back from her (why should I). But one thing for sure, we found a
sunglass point where people lost their sunglasses.
I thought the sunglass story was finished there, but I had a
little more. After leaving the hotel room, I took the responsibility to check
the room and handover the keys to the hotel. I found that sunglass is on my
coffee table. May be bhabi didn’t take it and returned to me. I gave it to the
room boy (of hotel Sea Palace) and said, I found it in the sea, if anyone claim
please handover to them.

Poisonous insects in life
In your life, sometimes you may find some insects. They will
take every favour from you, and at the end they will bite. No matter how hard
you try, you can’t change them. Whenever they come close to you they will try
to destroy you and in most cases they will succeed. Because they are very
intelligent in their work and very dedicated what they are doing. You can’t be
so nasty like them.
One way is to get rid of them is to avoid them physically
and mentally. Other way is to attack them with a big brain. You may win (no guaranty)
but if you not, they will again fall you down. That’s their nature. When they
need you, they will become very best friend of you, and after taking your favour they will be in their real face. As they know how to make friend, they will
make others against you. That even your friends won’t believe you but them.
In my life I met 2 insects like this. From one I had got a
terrible byte, that didn’t cure totally till now. And I somehow manage to get
rid of other by just avoiding.
Moon from my baranda
In October, the Moon's position became very correct for my baranda. Every night, it washed my baranda with its white light. These pictures were taken in 2010. They were taken in Bangladesh.
In Canada, the moon looks much bigger than this. It could be double the size that I have seen in Bangladesh.

Little celebration of victory day of Bangladesh
Shafeen |
My mom gave a small flag of Bangladesh to Shafeen (my 4 years
old son) to celebrate the victory day.
Today, at the victory day, I suggest Shafeen let’s put the flag in the garden with
the stick and let it fly in the air. My son took few second to answer, then
said, “If I do so then I can’t keep it in my hand and run with it”. I had to
agree,” OK keep it with you”. He also made a small tour in our nearby place by
holding the flag.

Need to play with water… no matter how tough it is.
Shafeen playing with water, he was 1 year and 5 months old.
|
Shafeen loves water (me too). But his mom (me) is very
strict in touching water, because he easily gets cold. But you know, if Shafeen
love something, he will do everything and keep trying to get it until he gets
it. So, whenever mom stays busy in other work or sleeping, Shafeen don’t miss
that opportunity. Here he is playing with water in the sink with unwashed
dishes. Little difficult to rich on it, but Shafeen don’t care.
Battery rickshaw
Yesterday for the first time I ride on a battery rickshaw.
When I asked the rickshaw puller, will you go to “Taltola market”; I didn’t
notice it’s a battery rickshaw. After fixing the rate rickshaw puller informed
me, he can’t use the main road, because this is a battery rickshaw, he had to go
through Bashabo area. A battery rickshaw isn’t strong enough to pull the
rickshaw up to the main road. Because of this I got know about some new sub
lane of Bashabo and without traffic jam reached at the market. I my mind I was
thinking about its positive and negative things. Like
Negative things:
1. We are living in a load shedding country. Every now and then electricity goes out. Everywhere people are buying IPS and generator to solve this power problem. In this situation why we need this rickshaw?
2. I could guess, these poor rickshaw pullers are not going to pay the electric bill while recharging their batteries. So, all will go in to the system loss for our electric department, and to solve this problem they will increase the electric bill. So, who pays the bill, will be effected. Who doesn’t, will be always free.
Positive things:
1. By using the battery I have seen the rickshaw puller don’t need give any physical afford to ride. So, they won’t get tired soon and any old or woman (who rides rickshaw) can easily do this job.
2. This is a faster vehicle than the pulling one. I mean it is faster than the pulling rickshaw and slower than any auto engine.

Shafeen trying to follow his mom
Shafeen (my 4 years old son) likes to follow people.
Sometimes he like to follow his mom too (mostly he follows his cousins). I use
to cover my head when I go outside or any outsider came to home and when I say
prayer. So, whatever Shafeen found for him, he is also trying to cover his
head. Sometimes like to taste of the hijab by putting the cloth inside his
mouth. These pictures have been taken when he was only 1 year and 5 months old.

Can road construction be done in winter season in Bangladesh
Can road construction be done in winter season in Bangladesh, unbelievable?
Last Thursday we went to Coopers
at Shanti nagar chowrasta. We (me and my son) went there through Shanti Nagar
main road and surprise to see that one side of the road has been constructed
smoothly… I surprise, in this good weather? Hmm Bangladesh is changing a bit
then (or someone may need money before rain, just kidding). Generally all road
construction done in this country is in the rainy season. And when rain is
over, the road goes back to its previous condition.
I don’t like temporary maintenance of roads too. Because the
way the construction company will fix the road, it won’t last after a month.
So, again you have to work with the road (if you do so or keep it just like
that which generally happens). My suggestion is whatever you do, do it permanently.
At least it should go for years.

Shafeen’s spider man
Here Shafeen was 1 year and 5 months old. |
Shafeen’s grandfather (maternal) bought this Spider Man from
International Trade Fair 2010. Here Shafeen is 1 year and 5 months old. He
loves his Spider Man very much. But you know, within few days Spider Man was
dead, I mean the toy somehow gets licked, its balloon performance is over. But
Shafeen kept it for years, because he loved it very much. One day the cruel
mommy (me) through it out (to the dustbin) without notifying the owner
(Shafeen).

A village woman life
A marriage life continues on the basis of acceptance. The
length of the marriage life depends how much you can accept your partner (both
good and bad). In this subcontinent marriage life goes almost for life long. I
should say here both (husband and wife) has good power of acceptance. And you
have to agree that mostly girls accept and sacrifice their life to keep the
marriage life. It’s not because of religion, because, religion stays all over
the world. It’s because of our social condition.
Girls not feel safe outside from their home. No matter how
much they tortured in their home. They knew it very well, if they go out, whole
society will start torturing her both physically and mentally, and then what’s
the benefit of leaving the relation? This society will never let you leave in
piece.
In villages it’s very common to hear that today that person
has beaten up his wife, she is in very tough condition, that family has killed their
daughter in law by beating up or by poison. People accept this like news in
morning tea. This is happening for generation after generation. But still you
won’t hear that a woman has left his husband and living alone. You can’t, your
society won’t let you live like that.
Even you will torture other people, if you get chance to
torture someone. She could be your brother in law or daughter in law. You also
won’t miss your opportunity to make the hell someone one’s life. This is the situation
of a woman’s life in this subcontinent.
The son grows up by watching this situation. And he does the
same with his wife.

Can’t through out old and broken toys
Shafeen was one year and four months old and trying to take his walker from the top of his small bed. |
My son always likes his old, broken toys. If I decided to throw them away, I had to do it without letting him know. Otherwise, he wouldn’t let me do anything.
Like every child, I bought him a walker, and my mom gave him a small rolling bed. Now he has grown up enough, and for years, we have not used those. But still, he asks me to clean up those things and let him play with them.
About inappropriate words
Shafeen and me |
Yesterday Shafeen told me some inappropriate words. So, I told
him very politely, “listen son, you will meet many different people, and they
will talk in many different ways. You don’t need to copy them all. You should only
copy those words which are good. Don’t need to copy any bad word.” Can you imagine
what my son replied?
He said, “mother, I may say many inappropriate words, you don’t
need to copy those, just be nice as you always.”

Need an electrician
My son likes to solve all mechanical problems. Many times he
fixed the computer too. Here he was 1 year and 4 months old.
|
I need a good electrician for our home. Don’t know what
happen, every now and then facing problem with electric goods. Still the Samsung
TV service center didn't returned my TV. Whenever we call them, they asked when
you submitted the TV. Then ask for one more weeks to repair. Allah knows their
one week will be finished.
Yesterday my tube light suddenly stopped.
Sometimes I think there must be some problem somewhere, because electric bill
is coming very high, and electric equipments are creating problem. Don’t know
how to solve all problems in time
Intelligent people should understand this.
I like intelligent people. I feel comfort talking with them.
But they have some major problems too. They understand many things. They can
predict many situations. So, they things, they knows all. Problem is, that’s not
the truth. There are many things still on this earth about which you don’t have
any idea. Or whatever you predict, things are more attractive than that. Just
don’t be so sure about anything.

The blue car
Shafeen was 1 year and 4 months old |
Shafeen was 2 year and 2 months old |
Tameem (my elder sister's son, the main owner of the car) and Shafeen, Shafeen was 2 year and 3 months old. |
Shafeen and Dia (my youngest sister's daughter), Shafeen was 2 year and 9 months old. |
This blue car was bought by our elder sister Sharmin. All
thought, this tin made car won’t last long. Many of us get injured because of
its unpolished body. Many times all said to our elder sister to sale this car.
She didn't, now even I don’t agree to sale this car. Here I should mention that
I am the person who mostly gets injured by this car. Because my son always
plays with it and keeps it at the middle of the room, so when I walk if I
forget about the car the collapse happens, especially at night when the room is
dark.
But despite of all negative things, children like to play
with it. Generation after generation (well they are cousin brothers and sister)
are playing with it. And they all still like it. So, we should think about
their choice about this toy, before doing anything with it.

Big politicians should visit places.
Shafeen and all are in trouble to pass a narrow path,
Shafeen was 3 years and 9 months old.
|
Few days back I went to a grocery shop near Buddha Mandir.
On the road, I found everything is looking little more decent. I wonder what happen.
Generally, no matter how wide or narrow the road is people will park rickshaw,
car or van on it and you have to face trouble with these parking. On that day
no parking was on the road. The hawkers, who always sit beside the road,
actually they sit at the side and on the road, were removed. On that day I
found the boy who use to sale banana always, now sitting inside a sub-road
(which goes to the main road). People who always have time to gossip on the
road with a tea stall, was not there. I asked to the boy (who sales banana)
what happen. He said police removed all from the main road. I noticed in the
tea stalls police are taking tea and snacks. And in the main road police and military
vans are running.
I went to the grocery shop and asked one buyer what going
on? He replied today is the “chibar daan dibosh” for Buddhist people. So, in
the Mandir the prime minister will come with other foreign delegates.
Hmm, I felt good for the first time as big Politian will
come to that place. Generally I don’t like to go near of them. Too much
security (I agree it’s needed) make me annoyed. Even when they pass roads, they
block the entire road and run the car like a king. I don’t like that either.
They make problems not only for that road passers but creates traffic jam in
the whole city. I think they should have their work area inside their
government home. I guess it’s big enough to make a portion for both residential
and official space. So, mango people won’t face more problems in road. They don’t
have hassle to run in the road with lots of security people.
But that day I thought, maybe they needed to visit places
sometimes. So that, may be on those moment we can see that our condition can be
little better. May be for a little time, but it can be.

Where to go?
When I was a school going girl, I read a Bangla novel “Rajputrer
Vromon Kahini” in “Shishu” magazine published by Bangladesh Shishu Academy.
There I read a very important line “if you found there is no law in a country, you
shouldn’t live there”. I still remember the story, specially this line. I
believe this is very true. You can’t live a place where you don’t get justice.
Now, I also think it again, where should I go? Where is the justice?
Whoever claims that they always give justice do they really do? Don’t they kill
people in other country? Don’t they harass people in Airport only because their
name is related with a religion? Don’t they have any corruption? Where is the
justice? But you know everything has a level. In some country people kill,
create problem, and hijack money openly, without any fear. Where, you can even
think to take help from people who are from justice department. People live on
that country too. All doesn’t have choice or capability to live anywhere that
they like to. Or live in the way that they want. Or change the things as they
should have.

I had to avoid angry people.
Shafeen took his picture by himself
|
There are many people on this earth who gets anger very frequently.
They shout, use slang, and sometimes use hands too. May be as a human they are
very good, may be they have many good qualities. May be they are very
successful in life. But I like to keep distance from them. I can’t tolerate
angers.
This angry attitude has in too many persons in my life. For
every one I use one formula, keep distance, talk less and never argue. Because I
don’t want to see them shouting on me and use those words which they shouldn't ever tell me. I have rejected (don’t allow to come near me, indirectly) 3
persons only because of their anger. If we remove this anger from them, they
could one of the best men in this world. May be some people never gets angry
with me, but I have seen their anger with others. So, I could assume if anyhow
they gets angry with me (I am not a perfect person), they will do the same or
worse.
Even I avoid or don’t say more than necessary words with
some of our relatives too, because I can’t tolerate their anger. I know, you
all will hate me to know that I keep some distance with my mother too. Because
she is an angry person too. In my childhood she beaten up me only for her anger (sometimes I wasn't the cause of her angry). I love her, help her but maintain
some distance. Because sometimes these angry people make my headache, then I
had to take painkiller, relaxing tab and go for long sleep only to live.

Shafeen don’t want to miss his praying. He knows how to make
Tayammum. Rub the wall and
then rub his hair… that’s it J
tayammum done. Because Ammu
(me) said, aju
(wudu) is for elders, if he does aju it may cause getting cold. I had to
say this because whenever he gets chance to touch water, he never stops until I
make him stop.
I may not help anyone to survive, but I am not helping people to kill other people.
My son saw the cartoon picture where a mother is hold a kid with tears and missiles are falling down on them. And his question started. What’s happening here? Why bad guys throwing bombs there? Are bad people stronger than them? Why don’t they buy strong bomb to protect themselves? Why other people don’t give them strong bomb? Why mother is so sad, etc. To tell you the truth I don’t have the answers either, but I had to answer all. My son never gives me any other option. But he wasn't satisfied. So he made his own story.
He said actually the boy redirecting the missiles with the
paper plane, because a plane is stronger than bomb. So, they are safe now. And
I had to say, yes, you are right.
After born I always buy toiletries for my son which are not
from “Johnson & Johnson”. All says to me, what are you doing? This is the
best brand for a kid. I replied, not for my kid. I may not help anyone to
survive, but I am not helping people to kill other people.

Fence for child
A mom who needs to work alone, sometimes fall in very difficult
to keep an eye on the child and do other works. I think in that case they can
use this (shown in the picture) kind of fence for child. Your child can play inside
the barrier nicely and you don’t have to worry that your child might have gone
anywhere and doing something which can be harmful for them.
Here Shafeen was 1 year and 4 months old. He was playing in “Salt
Grill” a food court in Bashundhara city complex. Now a day they changed a lot
in decoration. I didn’t visit for a long time. We liked “Capricorn” more now.

Mistakes, can’t be wipe out
Shafeen (my 3 years and 11 months old son) did a mistake, he knows. I didn’t notice. Our
conversation was like that…
Shafeen: “Sorry mom”.
Me: looked at him and realize what he did.
Shafeen: “Do you know why I say sorry to you?”
Me: “Yes, why did you do this mistake? I have warned you
several times not to do this.”
Shafeen: “I always try not to do this mistake, but this
stupid mistake never let me go. It forced me to do the mistake”.
Me: “May be you need to punch out this mistake by yourself”.
Shafeen: “Oh no, you can’t touch it mom, it’s inside my stomach”
I found nothing more to say
