প্রীথিবির প্রতি ২৫ জন মানুষের এক জন বাংলায় কথা বলে। কিন্তু, দূঃখজনক হলেও সত্যি বাংলায় কোন ব্যবহারযোগ্য কম্পিউটার টাইপসেট এখন-ও উদ্ভাবন হয় নাই। সবেধন নীলমনি এই ফনেটিক বাংলা টাইপসেট। তাও এক্ষেত্রে, কোন নিরদিশটো বানাণ রীতি নেই, নেই কোন বানাণ সংশোধনের জন্য ডিকশনারী সুবিধা। পুরো লেখার কাজটাই যেন ভুল করতে করতে শেখার প্রক্রীয়া।

Why?............. (1)

Quintessential to all human being, mother of all questions, propagator to all breakthroughs - is there anything which is more humane than the small word 'why'? Without it humanity would still be in the caves fumbling with primitive existence; it's something that differentiates us from all the other species. For every individual there are actually 2 why's : one the big WHY faced by the humanity as a whole from the moment 'go' and another small why faced by each indivual in their own existence...... So, we all seek answers in our quest from the cradle to the grave. What are my answers?.......

Random 1

It was a cool night.. not a hint of breeze and weekend roads were largely deserted apart from the solitary passers-by taking brisk steps to reach homely comfort or the occasional tramp who has all the time in the world but at present needs a place to sleep. There was this calmness about the surroundings and if you strained your eyes through the damp neon light, you could even see the stars hung over head... I was walking through the aisle of this big blank slate of a road... sudden passing of stray vehicles would make this whoooshhhh sound and leave a trail of a light in its wake much like a quickly soluble line on a paper... the thought must have come suddenly or it would have already been there, I just became conscious of it's existence... Either way, it's like a confession in the dark or conversation with one's self....

Prof Md. Yunus - Guilty or not?

Prof. Md. Yunus is the Nobel prize winner economist from Bangladesh for his pioneering work to alleviate poverty through distributing small loans to the rural poor. Widely aclaimed as the banker to the poor, the nobel laureate finds himself in a fresh mix of controversy involving aid money from Norwegian Govt that was meant to be donation for the rural have-nots, but was allegedly used for some other purpose back in 1996. Now based on the information available so far, Prof. Yunus has not done anything criminally prosecutable, as apparently he, the donor agency (Norad) and the Norwegian Govt came to some sort of compropise, under which part of the aid money was returned back to the Norwegian Govt. Now, the problem is Dr. Yunus is no ordinary man; he is an global icon and in Bangladesh millions look up to him as a shining example of what we can achieve as a nation. In the coming days, we are bound to see a host of articles, stories and explanations... but, importantly, every ordinary citizen of Bangladesh will privately hold the same debate - whether the great man is really Great or he miserably let down a nation by flouting public trust. will keep you updated, meanwhile you can go to the BBC link attached with this post to have a general idea.
