Lesson to do Business

Father : “I want you to marry a girl of my choice”
Son : “I will choose my own bride!”
Father : “But the girl is Bill Gates’s daughter.”
Son : “Well, in that case…ok”

Next – Father approaches Bill Gates…

Father : “I have a husband for your daughter.”
Bill Gates : “But my daughter is too young to marry!”
Father : “But this young man is a vice-president of the World Bank.”
Bill Gates : “Ah, in that case…ok”

Finally Father goes to see the president of the World Bank…

Father : “I have a young man to be recommended as a vice-president.”
President : “But I already have more vice- presidents than I need!”
Father : “But this young man is Bill Gates’s son-in-law.”
President : “Ah, in that case…ok“

This is how business is done!!

Moral: Even If you have Nothing, You can get Anything. But your attitude should be positive.

You could save a life.

This article was not verified by any professional doctor; at least I didn’t find any clue of verification. It came to my inbox as a chain-mail. This email is seemed to sketch the primary symptoms of stroke. This article may be valuable for people that’s why I publish it in my blog. If it doesn’t support medical theorem, please let me know, this article will be removed.

STROKE: Remember The 1st Three Letters… S.T.R.

During a party, a friend stumbled and took a little fall – she assured everyone that she was fine and just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes (they offered to call ambulance). They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food – while she appeared a bit shaken up, Ingrid went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening. Ingrid’s husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital – (at 6:00pm , Ingrid passed away).

She had suffered a stroke at the party . Had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps Ingrid would be with us today. Some don’t die. They end up in a helpless, hopeless condition instead. It only takes a minute to read this…

STROKE IDENTIFICATION:

A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke…totally. He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is tough.

RECOGNIZING A STROKE

Remember the “3” steps, STR . Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke. Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions :

* S * Ask the individual to SMILE .
* T * ask the victim to TALK. Ask the person to SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently) (eg “It is sunny out today”).
* R * Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS .

If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call the ambulance and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.

NOTE : Another ‘sign’ of a stroke is
1. Ask the person to ‘stick’ out their tongue.
2. If the tongue is ‘crooked’, if it goes to one side or the other that is also an indication of a stroke.

Dhaka: Second Dirtiest City in World

Yeap… You read it right! Dhaka is the second dirtiest city in the whole world. And this ranking has been published by the Forbes. About Dhaka it says, “Lead-poisoned air lands Dhaka, Bangladesh, the No. 2 spot on the list. Traffic congestion in the capital continues to worsen with vehicles emitting fatal amounts of air pollutants daily, including lead. The World Bank-funded Air Quality Management Project aims to help.”

So what’s the big deal? We don’t care of ourselves… isn’t it! All we used to know that Kolkata (city in India) is much more dirty than Dhaka. I personally never visited Kolkata, but from various pictures of Kolkata I can say that Kolkata is much dirtier than Dhaka. But this ranking tells us something different. The present scenario of Burigonga river is very much shocking. Pollution turns water of that river in to black. Carbon Monoxide and Lead emitted by the vehicles are main culprits to cause air pollution in Dhaka.

Is anybody there to take proper steps for surviving Dhaka from a polluted environment? It’s the high time for all of us.

Get-together: After a long span…

I entered home at 10:30pm as I was attended Raihan’s walima [wedding reception] tonight. It is quite unnatural for me to be out of home after at most 9:30 pm. But tonight was special. I’ve met all of my close friends on that occasion which costs me my time. It was quite enjoyable. I’ve almost forgotten when I last met with Sorpo (Sarfaraz), Fuad, Shoeb (Dada), Zubair, Shafayat, Shadid, Maruf (both Chiki and Kana), Sadiq, Zamil (Paachu) and others. Thanx Raihan for inviting all of us. Our after dinner adda was so much enjoyable that it often reminds me the adda of my IUT life. New addition in our get together is our several friend’s wives. As several has ended their bachelor life, they always come anywhere with their wives. Today was no exception either. Parvez and Hasnain brought their wives. Tanvir’s wife could not join us due to illness. As Adnan was not in Dhaka, he and his wife also were not present in the ceremony.

But we missed two of our great entertainers: Dipu and Miftah, who are always considered the nucleus of any adda. Dipu is in Bhutan and Miftah was in office. Never the less, our adda was quite entertaining. I don’t know when we’ll meet probably again, but today we all were returned to our IUT life. We forgot that some of us are faculty in universities or in various top corporates of country. We just talked like the immature students. If anyone listened to our conversation, he would just puzzled whether we are engineers or some stupid teenagers.

Life become monotonous. But some occasion reminds us that there is still those friends with whom once I’ve shared my life and who are always ready to help anytime. This relief some times works as anti-dotes in life. I am just waiting for the next get together, where all of us can again return to our past life, no matter how much time has been passed.

These are called Exam Papers!

This post contains some funniest exam scripts that I’ve collected from the internet. It’s hard to believe that some students really have the nerve to write funny answer in answer scripts. Whatever the scripts are really enjoyable. I think the teachers were also enjoyed those scripts. Because I know how cumbersome job is to check the answer scripts and distribute marks for the answers. And this types of answer scripts is really a relief for a teacher… but what a pity, the relief maker students have no way to get marks for such a good (!) job.

Now enjoy the scripts by clicking the following “Read the rest of this entry »” link. To see the full view, please click the thumbnails of each pictures. Enjoy 😀

Flowchart of G. W. Bush!

For those who doesn’t know what a flow chart is – “it is a graphic representation of the stages in a process or system or the steps required to solve a problem“. This object is apparently used in programming language to explain the problem solving logic. The following flow chart depicts the problem solving flow chart for George W. Bush. Enjoy! 😀
