Plants were on my desk

Me were in front of my desk

somewhere in... started their office with 3 developers. I was one of them, or for more information I was the first employee of somewhere in... After joining one day Jana (one of the owner of the company) brought 3 plants in ceramic pots for 3 of us. She mentioned that these gifts came from his brother. You know a plant can change the whole room's decoration. These did too. I took very good care of my one, I gave water, and sometimes tea leaves as fertilizer. One day I found one pot was broken. I went to International trade fair and search and buy another one. My plants grow rapidly than others. One day I found someone drop their plant at bathroom. I took that too and put it on my desk. You can see in the picture.

Its difficult to take balanced food always

I always try to make balanced food. At least at 2 times meal (lunch and dinner). Like I try to give rice or roty (carbohydrate), meat or fish or egg (protein), vegetables (vitamins) and pieces (dal) at one meal. It's become difficult if I feel little sick then can't manage to make then properly. Like today I took rice with green pea and pomfret fish curry (dopeyaja). Next I will cook vegetable curry and masala hotchpotch.

Quick training to go to Norway

Before sending the first team to Norway, somewhere in… arrange a small workshop to introduce Norway culture to the tropical land’s people. That were one of the great time that we all enjoyed. Arild showed some video’s on Norway, small briefing, some quick quiz and demonstration about skiing. Then again Arild held a competition to about skiing. In the picture you can see how funny it was for us. 

Some training needs Bangladeshis

Shafeen 5 months old

There are some points where Bangladeshis are great and there are some points also where we need to upgrade ourselves. Let’s discuss

a) I believe from very rural stage people need to train up about using toilet. In villages people use to go near field, plants or near house where they throws dusts or open places. In towns they do over drain, footpath or don’t use properly the toilets over common places like hospital, stations, market places. It’s very rear that you will find a clean toilet in common places.

We can give training from primary schools, through books. Health institutions can go to house to house to check and give advice. Some slogans can be placed in common places to grow up awareness.

b) Proper behave to the ladies. I have seen whenever this people go; they never miss a single chance to touch a woman’s body. Let me explain, if they pass over the footpath or bus or market places, boys intention is to touch them. They didn’t stop this attitude after marry too. When I traveled outside the country I never face this attitude unless I met a Bangladeshi. They do the same in other country too.

 Again we have to train up people from the child, especially, when children’s start going to the school. They should respect mom, aunty, maid who ever they see at their home. And then also women on the street could be shopkeeper or just passerby. They have to give them space. Talk gently and treat like a lady.

c) Urbanize peoples mind. I have seen people in villages who throws every dirty or not use things everywhere. Not a big problem in village. What happens in urban area? People drops cans, package, tissues on roads, bus, market places, home through window. In hostels people through their kitchen dirty things on basin.  They don’t hesitate to through water from window.

We have to teach people and awareness to use dustbins, proper cleanness at home, and proper urban behavior.

I am not saying everyone is like that, but many people seem 80% are like that.

Chinese food

Before this fast food trends came. We looked for Chinese food when we wanted to eat something different than Bangladeshi food. This picture had been taken when we were in Dhaka University. We all 4 sisters use to take food together outside some times. My elder sis suggested that if my friends also join then we can take Chinese food. And my friends are also agree to join us. We went Tungking Chinese restaurant at Kataban, Dhaka, Bangladesh.  Here I must say, this restaurant’s vegetable soup is very delicious.

Some times what you see is not true

Shafeen 5 months old

Generally people rely what they see. When any conflict situation came they rely what they saw. And the truth is sometimes what you see isn't the whole true, people might make drama to let you see, what they want you to see and made your mind as they wanted too.

For example, may be some day you go to home after office and see your mom, sis and your younger brother's wife are working in the kitchen. You can feel good all are working together. But let me show you the real scene. When the door bell rang, your younger brother’s wife was working in the kitchen and your mom and sis were watching TV. As soon as they hear you are coming they ran into the kitchen and moving things to make it look like they were working not relaxing.

Again let me show you some more pictures. Whenever you come home, you see your mother is holding your brother’s son. And you sis is with her. Your brother's wife is working somewhere else. When you see this every day it will come up in your mind that your brother’s son always kept by your mom and sis.

Now again, this is not the real picture. Every afternoon when your arrival time comes near, your mother took your brother's son and keeps him with her, and as usual your sis stays with them. If any day you call and tell them that today you are not coming home early, then they put your brother’s son again to his mom. And when you come your sis sit with your brother's son after opening the door to make it look like she was always with the child.

This picture has been taken when we were in Dhaka University. When this picture had been taken, except the bride we all were unmarried. Now? All are married. And some of us have next generation too.

Medical test

Shafeen at 4 months old got fever

When we go to a doctor some times they send us for medical testings and in most cases they don't mention what kind of test it is. Is it a urine test, blood test or else. Even they don't mention weather you have to go with empty stomach or with full urine pressure. So in the morning when you take breakfast then go to the lab, they will say you have to come again with empty stomach or take more and more water for pee etc.

Pure honey

Shafeen taking food by himself

In Bangladesh, almost in every area honey produced. I have heard in Faridpur area there are honey plantation/ bee plantation. In the mangrove forest Sundarban (world's biggest mangrove forest) also is a big source honey supply. Still in Dhaka we search for pure honey. Fraud business man sales honey everywhere. This doesn’t have a single drop of honey.

My elder sis also buy honey for her son Tameem. One day Sonia's (my younger sis) husband taste that honey and he said its real (he is a doctor too). This honey came from Australia. This is available in shopping mall.

I was looking for good honey for my child (2 years old). Every day I gave him a mixer which is 1 teaspoon of honey and few drop ginger juice. It really works in cold.  so I buy honey which came from Australia. Its quality good and works for health. See because of bad business man’s I had to buy foreign honey for my child's health. I gave local honey previously, which made my child's stomach upset. 

Planetariams

me at Novo Theater

Me and Shafeen at Kolkata Birla Planetarium

I have seen planetarium or demonstration on stars in 3 places. They are Science Museum at Dhaka, Bangladesh, Novo Theater at Dhaka Bangladesh and Kolkata Birla Planetarium India.

When I was in school, we all student (I think class 5) went to Science museum.  Our math teacher took initiative. To see stars we all sit under a big umbrella one person demonstrate about the stars. Among 3 places this demonstration was the best.

After joining a job, I went Novo Theater. The outer and inner decoration is the best from all planetariums. And I could also view and about Grand Canyon from here. I have heard now they changed this video.

Few days ago I and my family went to Kolkata Birla planetarium. This is smaller than Novo Theater. Decoration is nice. But it has a big problem. If you sit at the east side of the gallery, you will miss all pictures that are shown during demonstration. Because the big machine stands at the middle and all pictures are shown at the west side. Here they start the story from sunset to sun rise. When they made the environment like midnight, my son (Shafeen, 2 years old) fall in deep sleep.
