Mohammedan Rockz!

At the 80’s, the two rivals of Bangladesh footbal were Mohammedan Sporting Club and Abahani Krira Chakra. Those were the heydays of Bangladesh Football. The whole country just splited into two groups, either Mohammedan or Abahoni. During the finals everybody watched game, either in stadium or in TV, no matters what it cost. Those days were gone. Now a days people don’t care about these two teams as well as the football in Bangladesh.

But it seems that golden days are back again! Those two rivals were face to face again at Citycell Super Cup in the final held at the Bangabandhu National Stadium today.  Just like the old days, a lot of fan were present in the stadium, they inspired their favourite team beating drums. Nigerian striker Goodwin’s 21-minute goal was enough for the Black and Whites (Mohammedans) to be the champion.

When I was a kid, I was a die hard fan of Mohammedan, the Black and White jersy wearers. Now a days I am too away from the football, but still I find a place for Mohammedan in my heart when I heard any football news of Bangladesh. I still love Mohammedan and I will.

Today is Square Root Day!

Have you noticed today’s date? It is 03/03/09. It is a square root day! I didn’t observe it either until I saw the post of Karen. And offcourse people are celebrating this special day. The following square root day will be on 04/04/16! So celebrate the today, who knows what will happen in 2016!

Here is a small clip from Harold and Kumar: Escape from Guantanamo, where a poem of Square Root of three has been used (which has been written by Dave Feinberg):

And here goes the actual poem:

I’m sure that I will always be
A lonely number like root three

The three is all that’s good and right,
Why must my three keep out of sight
Beneath the vicious square root sign,
I wish instead I were a nine

For nine could thwart this evil trick,
with just some quick arithmetic

I know I’ll never see the sun,
as 1.7321
Such is my reality,
a sad irrationality

When hark! What is this I see,
Another square root of a three

As quietly co-waltzing by,
Together now we multiply
To form a number we prefer,
Rejoicing as an integer

We break free from our mortal bonds
With the wave of magic wands

Our square root signs become unglued
Your love for me has been renewed.
