We Salute You…

Once you’ve brought our freedom, you gave us a country, you made us proud for being a Bangladeshi. Some people opposed you, but you were men of steel who had nothing to loose except this country. Those opposer’s dream never came true because of you. You gave up all for us. You are our hero. You are the freedom fighters of 1971.

Independece day

But what do we do for you? Nothing. We know you did not fought for fame or debauchery life. But you deserved that. You were like the kings at that time. You could demand any thing. But you did not. What did we give you in return? We could not give you the respect you deserved. The opposers of the 71’s war (Raazakaars) are letting to do what they want freely. We let them to carry the Red n’ Green flag of your dream country on their cars. We elected them as our political leader.

Can’t you again raise up your hand shouting “Joy Bangla”? Can’t you lead us to defeat the raazakaars? Can’t we start to build your country of dream where no political clashes will be occurred? Cant’ we just dump our so called political leaders who think of themselves than our country? Ain’t we enough for our Bangladesh? Can’t we make a fresh vow in this Independence Day?

It is never too late.

Leaked scripts of Transformers 2: Real or Fake?

Recently I got a PDF copy of “Transformers 2” movie’s script in net. I don’t know whether it is real or fake. But it is sure entertaining. There are some touches of drafts and over pouring of ink for covert the identity, which make more confusion about the authentication. I got it from the site Transformer Live Action Movie Blog.

Transformers

Unlike the cartoons, this script focuses on the transformers more than the humans. There are numerous transformers in both sides- Autobots and Decepticons. If it is the real story line, then it is obvious that TF2 is gonna be one of the most expensive Hollywood movie of all time. More over it has an unfinished story, which means of coming another part- TF3. The writer of this script (whether it is real or fake) should be thanked for such a colorful story line.

Don Murphy, the producer of the movie, has some comments in his here. This scripts may be or may not be an authentic one.

Day in the Country

Don’t be confused that I am writing a travel experience. This was the title of an essay that my little sis gave me to write for her. One of her friends told her that this essay was suggested by “some” famous school teacher which is immense important for her upcoming SSC exam. She found the essay nowhere then came to me for writing it.

When I began to write I discovered that I’ve almost forgotten the rules for essay writing for SSC level. Whatever I can remember, I wrote my last essay in the HSC exam, that was in 2002. Six years and I didn’t write any essay. Don’t think that I could write magnificent essays at that time. Actually, I didn’t used to memorize the essays like the other students. I just created them in my exam papers! I don’t know how could I do that at that time, but the writings were quite well (again don’t think they were magnificent).

Rural scenario

But at last I managed to write down the essay. Don’t ask me – how? I myself don’t know! But I’ve done it – that is the point. And more of that, my sis liked that! And my satisfaction is that I can still write an essay like my childhood. 😀

Nostalgia

That was March 2, 2000. I went for my SSC exam, for the first time (and last time ever 🙂 ). That was a big step for me in my life. I was appeared in some kind of real exam which would left its’ ever lasting effect in my whole life. Actually that was not my first time public exam, as I had appeared in government scholarship exams, both primary and junior program. I was used to sit for public exams. But those were not as vast as SSC exam. Just imagine millions of students are attending the same exam in same day through out whole Bangladesh! That’s a tremendous feeling!

Nostalgia

In our family there is tradition of giving gifts as well as blessings to the SSC candidate from the elders. Last week before the exam, our house was almost remained packed with the guests who came to visit me. And my duty was to ask them to pray for me for the upcoming exam. Some close relatives came along with sweets and cakes (pithaa). I got a huge amount of gifts, to which I didn’t get much time to pay attention (’cause exam was knocking at door). My all senses were collapsed by the exam. What a cherished memory that was!

Those days were again came back to my memory now a days because of my little sister. My sis is going to appear SSC exam this year, to be precisely on March 27. Exactly one week is remaining. And like my days, well wishers and relatives are begun to swarm our home to visit her. My sis is already in little bit panic about the exam. She is a good student but always is in tense during any kind of exam. Now she is completing her last-moment preparations.

Please pray to the Almighty for her colossal success in the upcoming SSC exam. May Allah help her in this regard.

Exam Anecdotes

The Fall 2007 semester of AUST came to an end with the last exam today. I am not a student anymore but still the end of the exam is a joy for me. No more early rising for the exam hall, no more invigilating, no more boring time spending. While I was a student, time passed away so quickly in the exam hall that we always wrestled with the limited time. But as an invigilator that limited time becomes endless until the final bell was rung. So for time passing I always try to observe each of the students very carefully. Some times this become fun as they do some peculiar tasks. This post is actually about those peculiar tasks of the students that I’ve observed during the whole Fall 2007 final exam.

Abstract art

I am not depicting any name, department or student identification number of the students, so that they can’t be recognized.

  • One student always used to bring 8 pencils, 5 pens, three erasers, two rulers (scale) and two calculators. He was very much cautious about the backup!
  • Another boy who has a pony-tailed hair, always wrapped his pony-tail with a rubber band when entered the hall and unwrapped it when his exam was over!
  • One boy had a smiling face who was always smiling during the exam, even when he was writing in the exam scripts.
  • A girl was there who did not write even the half of the whole answer scripts but stayed the hall until the last minute!
  • Another boy who always took on an average 10 pages in every exam! Some times it became difficult to staple his main script along with the extra pages.
  • All the students of one of the particular semester of a particular department was completely absent from the exam except for the very last day!
  • Another student was always singing in a whispering voice while writing in the script!

Beauty of Math

Ever thought of the hidden beauty of Math? Whether the answer is positive or negative, just observe the following number pyramids. Isn’t it beautiful? Thanks to Macam-macam for such an interesting post.

1 x 8 + 1 = 9
12 x 8 + 2 = 98
123 x 8 + 3 = 987
1234 x 8 + 4 = 9876
12345 x 8 + 5 = 98765
123456 x 8 + 6 = 987654
1234567 x 8 + 7 = 9876543
12345678 x 8 + 8 = 98765432
123456789 x 8 + 9 = 987654321

Now take a look to the second one:

1 x 9 + 2 = 11
12 x 9 + 3 = 111
123 x 9 + 4 = 1111
1234 x 9 + 5 = 11111
12345 x 9 + 6 = 111111
123456 x 9 + 7 = 1111111
1234567 x 9 + 8 = 11111111
12345678 x 9 + 9 = 111111111
123456789 x 9 +10= 1111111111

And the third one:

9 x 9 + 7 = 88
98 x 9 + 6 = 888
987 x 9 + 5 = 8888
9876 x 9 + 4 = 88888
98765 x 9 + 3 = 888888
987654 x 9 + 2 = 8888888
9876543 x 9 + 1 = 88888888
98765432 x 9 + 0 = 888888888

Aren’t they magical? Now look at the following one:

1 x 1 = 1
11 x 11 = 121
111 x 111 = 12321
1111 x 1111 = 1234321
11111 x 11111 = 123454321
111111 x 111111 = 12345654321
1111111 x 1111111 = 1234567654321
11111111 x 11111111 = 123456787654321
111111111 x 111111111 = 12345678987654321
