Easy rule for love

If you love someone, that’s great.

If that person didn’t love you back, even better.

Let them go, set yourself free from them and enjoy your life 100%.

May be someday the person who truly loves you will be with you.

If you think you can’t live without them,

Then go and get them.

Keep trying, never give up. Probably you will have them.

If not, then after death, at least you can say, I tried.

Friends who left

If you find that your friend left you, just because they heard something from outside, didn’t care to talk with you. Then trust me, they never meant for you. The truth is, outsiders rescued you by taking them from you. There is a saying,” It’s better to have an intelligent enemy than a stupid friend.”

How could he think like that?

Once in a week my son attends the “Electric club” in his school. Now a day he is making traffic light with a battery. Didn’t get chance to see it as he said, he still has a little to finish it up.

Today he had the electric club day, so I didn’t show up in his school to pickup him on regular time. I was planning to go 45 minutes later, to give him enough time to complete his work in the club. After 30 minutes I have got a call from school. Shafeen called me, “Where are you?”.

I: “I am at home”

Son: “Why didn’t you come to pickup me?”

I: “Today you have the electric club, didn’t you go there?” (I was thinking he might have forgotten to go to that room)

Son: “No, that class has been canceled” (Previously, whenever this club class canceled, his class teacher emailed me. Today I didn’t get any news)

I: “OK, I am on my way. From next, if you have any class dismissed, please call me immediately.”

Son: “OK”

While I was driving back him to home, I asked, “What did you think, when you didn’t see me on time?” I was assuming he might though I am in trouble.

Son: “I THOUGHT YOU FORGET TO PICKUP ME”

I started thinking, how could he think like that. I never forget to pickup him up. How could he come up with this idea!

By force

I don’t like to have anything by force, not even my rights. I know, this is not good for anyone. I don’t want anybody to be like that. Things that naturally comes to me, I enjoy that.

I like to be relaxed and have a peaceful life. I know this is not heaven. I am never going to have a life like that. Everyday I found new problems in my life, when I already have previous unsolved situations. But still I am trying my best to achieve everything smoothly.

Eating and sleeping

My mom uses to say, “Eating and sleeping, these two habits will increase as much as you let it and will decrease as much as you control it.”

I found it true, in most cases. Though, if I’m assured that I can eat my favorite foods as much as I want, no harm will happen, I think, I can eat like a rhinoceros and sleep like lioness.

But you know, that’s not true. After making a good food and sleep habit, you won’t feel good to make any indiscipline in your life. And when you see yourself better, feel better, you will continue doing like that.

Still I don’t want to change my food habit, no interest in exercise. I have no hope to look better :)

School bus only for French medium school students

We are living in Saskatoon, Canada. My kid is in elementary public school. We had to walk 20 minutes to go to school from our apartment. From the beginning I wanted to send my kid to school by bus. The school authority directly told me the school buses are only for French medium students. So, from our apartment another kid used to take bus for school and my kid had to walk on snow, -40 c temperature to go to school.

This is not fair. If you have shortage of school bus, then according to distance kids suppose to be picked. If you only choose French medium students, then this is kind of racism. There can be other good reason to run buses like this, which I don’t know.

Nice words

As far as I have seen, general people all over the world are nice. When people say small nice words, that made your day. Sometimes you know that those are not 100% true, just said to make you feel better. But still, it works.

I was looking for a t-shirt. The ail where I was standing was for XL size body. An elderly woman came and told me, “I think you are looking for your dress in wrong ail, you should go to medium size ail.” No doubt, she had made my day.

I was traveling on the bus. A guy came to me and said, “You must be going to the college for study, young lady”. Yes, that made me feel good too.

A guy told me, “Oh you are from Bangladesh, I have met other Bangladeshi girls too, you all are very beautiful”, I knew very well, he said that just to make me feel good. And it worked.

So, I believe whenever you talk, use nice words. You never how your simple effort can bring smile to other’s face.

Messy

I live with two boys. There is a saying, boys will be boys. This is very true in my life. No matter how hard I try, they always make our house a mess. After cleaning and putting everything in its proper place, if I let them stay at home for 5 minutes, they will totally change the look. Any outsider who visits the house at that moment can never guess these were in condition just 5 minutes ago.

My son looks like his dad, and I am so happy about that. I don’t want to hear from my in-laws that my son doesn’t look good because he has my face.

Anyway, my husband will say he is messy because, from his childhood, he has been like that; it’s his habit. But I have trained my son well. From the very childhood, I always made him put his clothes in the right place. He did, but now, why did he become so messy? For example, I found his socks in every single room of our house which was supposed to be with his shoes. Whenever he returns from outside, I ask him to put his socks into his shoes. He replied, Yes, yes. Then, I don’t know what happened; I found him thinking about something or singing along and walking through the rooms with socks. Then, he doesn’t even know where he kept the socks.

Sometimes, it’s difficult to understand who can mess up the houses more, the other or the son.

This was just an example; these two boys are doing it with everything. I am tired, and I surrender. I can’t make this house better. It will always be a mess.

Sewing

Shafeen has drawn this picture

I believe that, if you take training or learn anything, that won’t get wasted. In your life, somehow it will help you, directly or indirectly. Let me give you an example. In my school, there was a subject on sewing. In most schools, there is no class like that. Maybe principals don’t think it's a necessary class. But trust me, this simple class helped me a lot. Generally, I don’t throw out clothes unless it's not fixable.

I didn’t know that anybody noticed me doing this sewing or fixing clothes. One day I was talking with my younger brother about his trousers. I told him that it tore too much, he must give it up. He replied, of course not, you can fix it. 

After passing a long time, I was talking with my son that I need some new dresses to wear at home. He replied, why? you can fix your old ones.

Maybe people have trust in my capability more than I have.

Now a day I became so busy that I can’t make time for sewing. There are now piles of cloth to fix. I am trying to take some time for those dresses.

Some people are not ready take help

Sometimes it is very difficult to help stupid people. Please don’t get me wrong, I am a stupid too. But that’s not my today’s topic.

No matter how many times, how many ways you help a stupid, they will always feel doubt on you. And they will believe in their enemy who make them happy with some sweet words. Some people just don’t want to see who are actually always been there for them, they just carry out with their feelings.

In these cases, you can only watch and say, I tried but you are not ready to take my help
