goodbye d.o.h.s

entrance gate of new d.o.h.s, mohakhali, dhaka

on 15 August 2005, i had entered this gate for the first time to face an interview at ebizzsol. before that day i seldom watch this gate just through the window of bus or taxi. i started passing that gate regularly from 1 september 2005, the day i’ve joined to ebizzsol. last 25 months, for every six days of the week, i used to enter or depart through this gate; except office holidays, 16 june 2006 (my grandpa died this day), 10-15 may 2007 (we went to see the keokradong), and approximately 10 other days (i didn’t able to come office for sickness, been out of the city etc). all these days i’ve come to d.o.h.s just to attend office… nothing else. i don’t either have a relative’s house in this area or a friend’s office. our office shifting will be over by next sunday and after that day i’ll have no reason left to come to this area again. i am really feeling bit pain in my heart for that.

so may be i am going to see this gate just through a running bus or taxi’s window again…

i think you certainly have an own story.

positive mind

if someone ask me 'how are you?' its very easy to answer 'i am fine' or 'very well' or 'just fine' or something that shows a positive approach. its not like that i always answer that way... but if there is no problem with that, i just do it. i think if i am having a boring job or are in a hurry or having some pressure or in a mental stress and then someone ask me 'how are you' and i answer 'not well', 'very bad', 'no...' etc; that doesn't help me to reduce the pain. moreover there is a provability of increasing my pain.



i think 'how are you' actually not a question... its like a greet and and the way we response it, shows the personality. you'll find some people who always pretend to be unwell. you'll see them laughing, talking... but ask them 'how are you'... they'll rise their nose, make their face sorrowful, stare their eyes to an unseen painful memories and then say 'i am not enough well, that made my life hell... blah... blah... blah...'. i think when we have this question before us... we should take some time, think: is there any problem with me right now? if not, just say with a smile that you are well. try it, i promise it'll certainly make you feel better... even if its not for a long time but at least for several moments.

grey, grey sky...

i've got the quoted poem somewhere in internet and found the picture in my mobile gallery... i had taken those pictures in a gloomy grey day...

Someday I will ride the great bird
Into the sky, into the grey
And will take a bright secret of mine
Into the grey, grey sky.

And the light will come, piercing my eyes
Out of the sky, out of the grey
Come blinding and searing these eyes
Out of the grey, grey sky...
Grey, Grey Sky by Grace Hutton

two birthday cards

i was looking my old files last night and i got few birthday cards those i had designed for my friends. i have a good habit of remembering birthdays and normally i don't forget to greet. these two cards were two biggest surprise... they couldn't even thought about it...

60% vs 20%

i’ve added a poll with my last post and requested everyone to participate. the questionnaire was like this

what will be your first attempt in new office?

1. i'll start searching a new house
2. if there any good restaurant around this place...
3. as i am here...
4. i'll tell the girl about my feelings
5. no plan actually... like shamim vai

the poll allowed multiple choices. 60% voter choose the last quote ‘no plan actually… like shamim vai’. the nearest contestants were jointly the 2nd and 4th quotes which got 20% of vote. two other got 13% of vote.

i don’t want to make any comment about the result. because shamim vai already has threatened me… and i am really bit frightened…

thanks everyone for participating the poll!

old is gold, new could be platinum!

eBizzSol, house # 171, road # 23, 3^rd floor, mohakhali new DOHS, dhaka

we were here in this building for almost three years and we are going to leave this building in any good day of this month. this place was nice… we had some big neighborhoods like 'bat' (british american tobacco), 'bis' (bangladesh international school) etc. thats why this place was known as an elegant area and this destination was a preferable destination for the taxi drivers. the rickshaw fare was fixed... roads were clean and green, people were nice. there were three verandah on our office floor which were a quick refreshing and private talking (over phone) zone for all of us... still don't have any idea about the communication system of new office or about the neighborhoods. but hope it'll be nice too... the truth is we are mourning for our old location because old is gold and our hearts are drumming because new could be platinum!

a blank weekend

here the weekend is friday... but for my office sunday is the weekend. so i have little problem with adjusting. i get my classes off in friday but i have to attend office, and in sunday i get my office off but i have to attend the classes... and the worst thing is all of my friends get a full weekend in friday and in sunday when my classes are over, i become all alone. i just have to stay at home. so i watch movies on sunday... its movie day for me.



yesterday i saw two movies... 'teen kanya' and 'lion of the desert'... two marvelous movies. first i saw the teen kanya (three daughters)... it contains three different short stories of rabindranath tagore. when i was watching 'the postmaster' i just astonished with the talent of satyajit roy. its a nice famous story... but the movie is simpler than the simple story.

and after watching the 'lion of the desert' i thought myself stupid... why i didn't watch it before? i've added it to my most favorite list... and this weekend doesn't seem blank to me anymore...
