In Bangladesh, Baily road is famous for its cultural activities. In the beginning, the roadside shops were Sharees and books. Then it started changing to food courts. The last time I saw it, there was only one bookstore left. The road begins from the Shantinagar four roads node. In the end, it has two prominent colleges and schools. One is Viqarunnina noon college, and another is Siddeshshory girls college. Both are girls' colleges. They called these institutions high schools in Canada until grade 12. After that, we have a Drama theatre.
I found a similar road when I started living in Saskatoon, Canada. It's called Broadway. It started from the 8th Street and Broadway intersection and finished at an overbridge on the river. The road is decorated with beautiful lights. Most of the city's cultural activities happen here by closing the road. In the end, they have a school. Then a Theater. Sometimes, many organizations rent this to show many functions. I have been there to see movies, circuses, school functions, etc.
Sometimes, by mistake, I used to call Broadway road; Baily road.
“Please don’t spend the rest of the days punishing yourself just because someone didn’t see your value, which made you doubt your worth. “
Everybody likes to hear positive opinions about themselves. We always stay alert so that nobody should get a negative impression of us. Now it's an era of social media. People like to have likes, shares and subscriptions or followers.
In this situation, you start feeling low if you hear somebody say something wrong about you. It ruins your whole day. Don't punish yourself this way for someone's opinion who can't see your value. Don't doubt your worth.
শুভ বিজয় দিবস বাংলাদেশ। Happy Victory Day Bangladesh.
How do we make a family tradition? When we do something on a particular day that makes us happy, we want to do that every year.
I like to do things like that. I have started many family traditions for my family and me. We enjoyed that. Most of them are not possible in a new country. But I try.
Here we were together on the Victory day of Bangladesh. It was a great day. I wanted to continue like that every year. Not possible now.
“Don’t blame people for disappointing you; blame yourself for expecting too much from the wrong people.”
We expect, sometimes, without thinking about anything. We hope people will drive their cars carefully, maintaining all rules. We expect our loved ones will love us back, we expect students will always respect their teacher, we expect our employees will work their best for us, we expect our employer will notice our excellent work, we expect our friends will be with us, no matter what happens, we expect our family will stay together. There are uncountable things that we expect from others.
Sometimes others can't stand up according to our expectations. We need to understand many times we expect from the wrong person. Maybe that person doesn't think about us the way we think about them. Perhaps that person doesn't respect you as you do them. It's not always their fault that they couldn't meet our expectations. Sometimes it's our fault that we expect the wrong person.
You will often see people raising their voices in a poorly known meeting. People show off to be rich, sophisticated, wise, beautiful etc. These people always do something to get others' attention. The reality is whoever is really wise doesn't look for attention. They know who they are and work according to their knowledge.
When I passed the HSC exam (Grade 12), the computer concept came into our world. I didn't come from a wealthy family, so I couldn't ask my dad to buy me a computer (I never asked him to give me anything, that's why my parent always gave me the least). But in my mind, I knew someday I would learn to operate a computer.
In those days, an Electric typewriter was available in offices. So, according to my budget, I decided to learn to typewrite. It would be helpful to work on the computer. I still believe it helped. If you can make some time, I suggest learning to typewrite online. It is beneficial for anyone. But not a necessary tool.
In BailyRoad, ShantiNagar, Dhaka, Bangladesh, there was an organization called "Dhaka business women's club." They used to provide different kinds of training. I got admitted to the "Type Writing" course. It was a 3 months course, and I completed it successfully.
Later, when I started working with the keyboard, my colleagues used to be surprised and said, "You are not looking at your keyboard while typing! you are a blind keyboard user!"
[I am sure you all won't agree with me, it's just my thoughts]
If corruption is there, then I can't expect anything. I can only hope it won't continue generation after generation. However, if the government has the slightest chance to work for the people, I will say it should have control over product pricing. People can't just increase prices as much as they want and keep making trillions of benefits.
One job should be enough for a person to live. People should not consider how they will pay for the rent or food. They should have basic expenses in their bank account if they have a job.
When a person works for more than one job, it harms their body and mind fitness and the work quality in the workplace. To have a better performance in a job, employers should think about it.
When I was a kid, I always had to attend 7/8 classes per day in school. All most all courses are used to give us homework or to do some study (memorizing). No matter how hard I tried (which I did 4/5 days in my whole school life), I couldn't finish more than one homework in a day. Because, whatever I do, I do it well. So, I gave lots of time and concentration on one subject and could never find time to complete other homework. (And maybe I am too slow also, now a day became slowest). And I had plenty of work to do daily, including playing with toys.
Now you will ask me, then how did I manage in school. The answer is that I am always very attentive in class. So, when teachers teach us in class, I try my best to understand it. So, in exams, I mostly wrote from my understanding.
And I was a fortunate girl too. (Only Bangladeshi people will understand this) For example, in the SSC exam preparation, students memorized several essays to find one familiar to the exam. But as I told you, I didn't have time for that. So, I read only one (After trying my best). And that I found in our question paper. Even I was surprised to see my luck.
Now a day, I have started my student life again. And I found myself in the same position. I am feeling difficulty completing all assignments. I am trying hard. Rest Allah knows.
