Biography 197: I asked for money for my training.


 I always avoided any extra cost for my education. My parents used to say they had no money from the 1st date of the month to the last day. However, every day, when my dad gives money for daily transaction costs, he always gives some extra. And I used to save that tiny amount of money and buy my stuff. So, I never ask for extra money to train or go abroad. I knew they didn't have. Now I know they actually have enough for my extracurricular or to have a better career. Because they invested a lot more money in my other siblings. They were better than me in their education.

I have seen this from childhood; not only my parent but everyone doesn't want to help or give me anything. But they give to others, sometimes in front of me. I thought about it a lot. Where it goes wrong. Now, I have accepted it. It's ok, people can only think about me, when they need anything. Now it's their thinking, let them live with their thoughts.

But, anyway, I never like to ask someone to help me financially, physically or mentally. If I ask by mistake, people quickly say no to me, when they are giving it to others. That hurts me more. So, I better not ask.

Let's come to the main point, after completing the Master's exam. I started looking for a job actively. One day. I get an advertisement. That if I pay for the training TK 75000 the organization, they will give me training for 6 months and then appoint me in their office. As they are asking for money, I didn't find any interest in taking any training for them.

Then, I went to the Shamsunnahar Hall to meet with Shumi and Ratna. I told them about the advertisement. It's a considerable amount. Sumi and Ratna also said no to them. At that moment, a senior girl in the room was listening to our conversation. She stated, now you don't want to invest any money. After 5 years, you will change your mind, and then you will be ready to give more money to the organizations to get a job.

Her words make me change my decision. For the first time in my life, I asked money to my parents. At the beginning they said, they don't have any money. I told them to give me a loan. I will repay every single amount of it. Then mom said, OK, get money from your dad, I will give you the rest.

I went to my father. Dad said he could give me TK40,000, and I didn't have to return anything. So, my mom gave me TK30,000. Because I am making all the payments at the same time, they give a discount of TK5000.

I returned my mother's money later.

Song: faded

 It's a beautiful song. The melody and the music are all great. I liked this video a little... anyway, it's alright.


Lyrics:

You were the shadow of my light

Did you feel us

Another start

You fade away

Afraid our aim is out of sight

Wanna see us

Alive

Where are you now

Where are you now

Where are you now

Was it all in my fantasy

Where are you now

Were you only imaginary

Where are you now

Atlantis

Under the sea

Under the sea

Where are you now

Another dream

The monsters running wild inside of me

I'm faded

I'm faded

So lost

I'm faded

I'm faded

So lost

I'm faded

These shallow waters, never met

What I needed

I'm letting go

A deeper dive

Eternal silence of the sea

I'm breathing

Alive

Where are you now

Where are you now

Under the bright

But faded lights

You set my heart on fire

Where are you now

Where are you now

Where are you now

Atlantis

Under the sea

Under the sea

Where are you now

Another dream

The monsters running wild inside of me

I'm faded

I'm faded

So lost

I'm faded

I'm faded

So lost

I'm faded

Cooked food in a packet


 There are some complicated, I mean a little complex to cook food in South Asia. It takes time to prepare all the masala, cut vegetables and prepare other ingredients, some needed to fry before grounding, some boiled before making paste, etc. People who cook that kind of food regularly, they prepare the ingredients before and store them. So, that they can make the food easily. Even though it takes some time.

Now, if you want to taste those foods in your busy life or have any suggestions to have for any people who are not familiar with this kind of food, what will you do?

Nowadays, some companies cook delicious food and then package it in a Tretta package, or no air package, so that the food won't get rotten. You can easily buy them and serve them directly.

The foods, which are available now are rice, different curries like panir tikka masala, chana daal, palok panir, etc.

I miss many Bangladeshi delicious foods and desserts. I wish any good business people would come forward, make food without adding anything harmful, pack it and export it all over the world. Especially in Canada.

People in Canada are being used to living in a multicultural society, and they don't hesitate to try new cultural food.
