In many movies or TV shows I saw many a writers (famous) trying to write something but wasting their papers with garbage writings and dumping those. Finally they write something wonderful. Well, that’s why they are good writers. That’s when I started to give a go. Who knows, dumping papers in the trash can in numbers may help me write something kewl (!).

Sky is the limit …

We often use the words “sky is the limit” or “sky high”. Can anyone say- what possibly is the height of the sky? Could anyone found the boundary where the sky ends? May be someone knows the answers of these question, but I don’t know honestly. May be human ambition is also something like that. We can’t really put a boundary for it. We live between the reality and ambition like the way we do live between the earth and the Sky. Here the earth is the reality and Sky is the ambition. Whatever our ambition might be we are always closer to the reality exactly the way we are always closer to the earth rather than flying towards the sky. But we always try to jump off the earth and grab the stars, reality pulls us to the earth. Not everyone cherish to grab the star, not everyone who desire to reach the stars reaches it. We can never stop our mind to limit our ambition.

Who Am I?

Sometimes I go through some strange feelings. I look at my hands, I see it can move. But how am I moving it? I look myself in the mirror and try to figure out who the person in the mirror is. Imagine if there were no mirrors, no photography, no sketch in the world, not even anything glacy which will reflect our face infront of our eyes. You would never know how you look. And then all of a sudden one day you could see yourself in a mirror – How will you feel when you see your face for the first time? Will it be anything different than a stranger you see for the first time on the road? Some boring and weird questions right? Sorry…

What’s the Fastest?

I never met Albert Einstein and didn’t hear anything myself, but people say that this man said -” Imagination is more important than knowledge “. Whatever famous people say become famous quote (!!) – that’s what I also thought. When I was a child someone asked me a question -”What is the fastest thing you can ever imagine?”. I answered – “Rocket”, as at that time I didn’t have any idea of the speed of the light. The person who asked me the question replied that I was wrong. “Speed of light” also wasn’t the right answer. He/she replied that it is the Human Mind which is the fastest of all. It takes the sunlight 8 minutes to reach the earth. But our mind can go to the sun not even consuming a split of a second, which 1 is faster?

The whole country is stunned by the effect of the category-4 cyclone in Bangladesh. The southern part of the country is battered so badly that after one day of its destruction more than thousand are reported to be dead where as the number is surely going to multiply many a times as time progressing. The communication system has not been restored and it is still not accessible to many a parts of the country. The power grids have tripped and the country was literally without electricity for a complete day. The power has been restored in my area at 1 am the next day, 26 hours since it went out. When I went out in last morning I was shivered seeing the aftermath of the storm in Dhaka, where the speed of the air was hardly 100-120 Km/h. I just can’t imagine how the people of the southern part of Bangladesh were feeling where the storm had a speed of more than 240 Km/h. The property loss is going to be much higher than the mortality rate as it is believed that drastic action was taken to save human lives by taking them to the Cyclone shelter. People could hardly do anything to their properties and livestocks. We were in complete ignorance of what happened to the fate of the people of the effected area as there were no electricity. The mobile communication to those area were destroyed. We came to know that the direction of SIDR was towards Dhaka, and it was at 9pm. The cyclone started to hammer Dhaka region at 12 am that night. So the inhabitants were still not prepared for such a disaster. Trees were uprooted, electric lines were tore, advertising boards were shattered throughout the city. This is the situation where the cyclone was way less powerful than what it was in the coastal areas. It is assumed that a huge number of animals also suffered death in the Sundarban region, the largest mangrove forest in the world. The greatest problem lies ahead as people have literally nothing left in their home in the effected ares. They have no home, they have nothing to eat, even if they have stored their food somehow- they can’t cook. They need medical assistance as well. Thousands of volunteers and social workers are trying their best to help the people. We, who can’t lengthen our hands to help them, can atleast pray for the poor people of the effected areas. May Allah give them the power to survive the hurdles.
