Madhubala was born on February 14, 1933.

Mumtaz to Madhubala

Before setting foot in the film, her name was Mumtaz Jahan Begum Dehlavi. She started her career as a child artiste in the film ‘Basant’ in 1942. Later child artist in a few more pictures. At that time, actress Devika Rani was fascinated by the performance of child Mumtaz Jahan and changed her name to ‘Madhubala’.

Later the popularity started with this name. The next story is from 1949. The movie ‘Mahal’ was made under the banner of Bombay Talkies Studio. Madhubala got a chance to play the main character. Mahal was one of the three best-grossing films at the box office in India that year. Following the success of this film, she acted in the notable successful films of that time called ‘Dulari’, ‘Beksur’, ‘Tarana’, ‘Badal’

That’s why come into acting

Madhubala was born into a poor family. Her father worked for a tobacco company in Peshawar, Pakistan. Madhubala started acting at the age of nine to make up for the loss of her family as she lost her job. Her family was left in the lurch when her five siblings died at the age of five or six.

Invitation to Hollywood movies

Madhubala was one of the most popular and successful actresses in India in the fifties. The owner of this impeccable smile attracts the attention not only in her own country, but also in Hollywood. The feature on Madhubala, written in the August 1952 issue of the American magazine Theater Arts, was titled “The Biggest Star in the World – and She’s Not in Beverly Hills.” Oscar-winning American producer Frank Capra wanted to make a film about Madhubala. But her father Ataullah turned down the invitation in Hollywood.

As much love as Madhubala

Madhubala’s life was filled with love by many men, among them actor Dilip Kumar’s name is probably the most frequent. The pair first met on the set of ‘Tide’ in 1944. They fell in love with Dilip Kumar in 1951 while starring in ‘Tarana’. One day during the shooting, Madhubala sent a red rose with her hair dresser and a note written in Urdu to Dilip Kumar and asked him to accept the flower if he loved it. Dilip Kumar was fascinated and accepted the flower. In fact, the pair had a relationship for five years.

Although they did not get married, their engagement was completed. Dilip Kumar gave two conditions to Madhubala for marriage. One. You can’t have a relationship with your family after marriage, two. Must quit acting. Madhubala was not willing to leave the family even though she was able to withdraw from the screen life. Then their relationship broke down. However, the actress’s sister said that Dilip and Madhubala broke up for a court case.
Again near Dilip

The time-honored Hindi movie ‘Mughal-e-Azam’ witnessed the ups and downs of Dilip Kumar and Madhubala’s relationship. When the tone of their relationship breakdown began to spread, director K Asif came to them with this movie. He wanted their real-life mind-blowing chemistry to come alive and shine on the silver screen. The movie, which has been made for nine years, has witnessed many more. Dilip Kumar-Madhubala’s real life tumultuous love, the melody of breaking up in that love, then the separation of Bedna-Bidhu came to life in the character of Selim-Anarkali on the screen.

There have been many times during the making of this movie when they did not even talk to each other. However, they did the work of the movie with all their compassion, holding their wounded hearts, and gave their best performances. And as a result, the movie is not only the best movie of their career, it has become a milestone in the history of Hindi cinema as a whole. Mughal-e-Azam was released in 1970.

Love with Bhutto

Former Prime Minister of Pakistan Zulfikar Ali Bhutto was on the list of lovers in the life of the beautiful Madhubala. Bhutto had a lot of property in India before partition. When Bhutto became Pakistan’s minister in 1958, Bhutto had to go to India. That is the source of his conversation with the immaculately beautiful superstar actress Madhubala. Madhubala was then shooting for ‘Mughal-e-Azam’. Sometimes Dilip Kumar has started cracking down on me. Shocked, Madhubala’s mind was trying to find someone new.

There were rumors at that time that Madhubala had found Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto! It is said that Bhutto often appeared on the set of ‘Mughal-e-Azam’ to catch a glimpse of Anarkali. Madhubala’s relationship with Bhutto did not last long. According to many, perhaps Bhutto realized they had no future in this relationship; Because for Madhubala he can only be a shoulder of trust. They don’t have a relationship like a life partner. In fact, Madhubala was still in love with Dilip Kumar. He never forgot the pain of failing love. This is the end of the mysterious love story of Madhubala-Bhutto relationship.

Married to Kishore Kumar

Madhubala married Kishore Kumar in 1980 after he was buried in a love affair with Dilip Kumar and Bhutto. Kishore-Madhubala’s identity and relationship started on the set of ‘Chalti Ka Naam Gaari’. According to her sister’s biography about Madhubala, even though she married Kishore Kumar, she loved Dilip Kumar. She even married Kishore Kumar to show Dilip Kumar.

Elusive Rajkapur-Madhubala pair

Unlike Rajkapur, his film ‘Chhalak’ was supposed to be released in 1986. But shooting of some parts of the film is left. Madhubala was so ill at the time that she could not finish shooting and the Rajkapur-Madhubala duo remained elusive as the film was not released.

As much as achieved

In 1952, the famous Theater Arts magazine of America honored Madhubala as the ‘biggest star in the world’. In 2008, a commemorative stamp was issued in India with the actress. Everyone agrees that she is the best beauty in the history of Indian cinema. Not only her outstanding looks, but also her acting talent made her strong position in Hindi cinema in the fifties by impressing Nargis and Meena Kumari. He ascended to the pinnacle of fame and glory in his short career from 1947-1980. But could not avoid the cruel destiny. The truth was the words of the saint, who saw her at a very young age and said ‘this girl will gain a lot of fame, but will not be happy’.

Child Marriage and Its Root Cause

mysha

I was watching a documentary on how a former under-aged bride spoke out in Pakistan. The whole documentary reminded me of the fact that it is a big fortune for a female in South Asia to be born in a privileged family and to live in a society that despises child marriages and is unprecedented about it. In Asian countries like Pakistan, Bangladesh child marriage is a social norm still in practice. So, what is the root cause of child marriage?

Some will say it is solely the economic deprivation of people in rural areas. Some will say it’s their way of protecting females in the society. However, in my opinion, it is the after-effect of all the reasons mentioned above.

Bangladesh Minister says by-laws will set limits to child marriage ...

Child marriage still prevails

In Bangladesh, the legal marriageable age for a female  is 18. Yet, it is not improvised fully. There are many instances out there that makes us understand the problem very well. A doctor shared her opinion regarding this. She states, “Being from a South Asian country, I second that child marriage still exists in our society. I see young girls coming to us in our Hospital being pregnant at the young age of 14-15. They face lots of complications “.  It is actually the mindset of people that needs to be changed first.

We should tackle the issue from a societal level. Rather, we try to do it from an economic perspective. People have to label sexualizing a young child’s physical growth as a taboo. We can address the entire problem from  grassroots level through educating men of previous to present generations from the poor states all over South Asia.

The marriage certificates fabricate the age in many cases. Hence, they do not get caught. We have to showcase issues like these more to raise awareness. I encourage people to voluntarily participate in child marriage awareness program. Consequently, we can eradicate this tradition from our society. Through seminars and social media, we need to make young girls aware of their self-worth, mental health, and physical health.

The young girls should know that their only option in life is not getting married and maintaining a household. They can be fully independent and pursue their own dreams. Therefore, we need to address the problem from the very root to make it successful.

-Ariful Abir

Once upon a time, two friends went hunting in a dense forest. They have been friends since childhood. They had adequate bonding between them and they trust each other in any case.

It was a dense forest. And the density of trees make the trouble to find the way out. But it was a challenge and an adventure to them to hunt in this jungle. They both were insanely stubborn child, so, in a morning, they left out for a hunt.

Walking by the jungle, they were gossiping. The elder one between them ask to the younger one,

“Will you leave me and climb a tree if such a bear come?”

“No, I don’t know how to climb a tree.” Said the youngest of them.

An eagle was sitting on the trunk of a tree and looking at them. A snake passed by them in a strange silence. And none of them noticed anything.

“And you? What would you do if a bear came?” The younger one asked his friend.

“Run. I don’t know how to climb a tree, I don’t know how to act like dying. So, I would run.” The elder one replied.

Few moments later, they saw a fawn nearby and started chasing it.

As they chased the fawn they plunge into the deep forest. They had no consciousness while chasing the stag.

Suddenly they realized that they had lost their way to go back home. They stopped chasing the deer. And they got frightened. Already the sun started moving to the West. In this mysterious jungle, night falls very early. They both weren’t sure about what to do in this situation. The youngest of them cried out desperately,

“Is anyone here?”

No answer came from anywhere, only his words echoed back again and again. The night was dark and full of terrors. The owl in the trees began to move. As it happens, They found a large trunk of a tree and spend the night over there.

 

In the next morning, the little boy felt thirsty. So they started looking for water instead of searching the way to go home. The jungle was specious. They couldn’t find a drop of water anywhere. They hunt for water until the noon. The sun was scorching over their head. And they started getting tired.

 

Eventually they found a huge cavity where the water was far below.

The older one between two had a large leather bag in his shoulder. The younger one began to lift water through the bag with the help of a rope.

But he was tired. So that he couldn’t lift the water bag.

Seeing him felt, the older boy said,

“You can’t. Give It to me.”

But the little boy was insanely stubborn so he kept trying.

The older boy said to him again,

“Give It to me. You can’t.”

And the little boy kept on trying not to listen to his friend.

 

Seeing no other way, the older boy pulled the rope from the little boy’s hand and began to lift water bag by himself.

But he was tired too. After trying to grab the water bag for a while, he fell into the depth with his eyes closed. The little boy was terrified to see his friend fall. The older boy started screaming from the bottom of the cave,

“Pull me, get me out of here.”

Soon the little one started trying to lift his friend from the pit with a rope. He tried and tried and tried. He tried hard. He kept on trying until the evening. And finally, he managed to lift his friend from the hole.

After being saved, the older boy asked his little friend,

“You couldn’t lift the water bag from the cave but how did you pull me out of It?”

The boy took a moment, looked into his friend’s eyes, and answered into his sluggish voice,

“Because I didn’t have anyone here to say, ‘you can’t’.”

What is “Quill Of Scion: An Artistry Carnival”?

0

In the dawn of the 20s, the COVID-19 pandemic has pushed the timeline of
mankind in a different direction as if an alternate timeline. This very pandemic has
taught us the value of interactions, people, workplaces, environments, schools,
communities, friends, families, and life itself. When we are caged in our own home
or should I say house arrested just to flatten the curve, it is really important to stay
motivated to stay out of depression and most importantly allowing time to oneself.

Generally, the concept of allowing time oneself is replaced by the word entertainment. Entertainment obviously is one of the fundamental necessities of human life. The one disadvantage of being a human is we cannot work like robots we need distractions to increase productivity so we cannot think a day without modes of entertainment. Some like reading books, its like diving in the ocean of knowledge to know the unknown. Some like watching movies/series/anime, which are becoming a popular source of entertainment in this century. Who doesn’t like to drown with Jack and cry for Rose while watching Titanic!  Or there is none who does not feel the flow of rages when Thanos got the sixth stone and perished half of the world! Although I have found some of my friends who are fans of Thanos. Or is it “I am Iron Man”??  No one can hold one’s tears back in the eyes while watching Miracle in Cell No 7!

People like to think out of the box. It’s the prerequisite of inventions. When you read ‘Tin Goyenda’ or ‘Feluda’, some of you may think to create some characters like these, again when you read ‘A thousand of Splendid Sun’ you may think yourself as Mariam and you may have better stories to tell! There comes writing stories, another form of entertainment.

While buying a mobile phone, one of the main priorities of us is a nice camera with greater megapixels, variable apertures, Sony or Samsung Sensors, and whatnot. Photography is a reflection of one’s visualization. Nowadays it got so much popularity as a mode of hobbies also a career. People of different ages are found to click, edit, and upload photographs on Facebook, Instagram, and all social media as a form of entertainment. Lastly music, it is hard to find anyone who doesn’t hum his favorite song even a little every day. Many of us also choose music as a soothing form of entertainment.

It’s been long six months since we came home and we don’t know when it’ll end. It’s an open truth that all forms of entertainment are fading interest now. Our neurons love new challenges along with versatility and maybe it is time to improve your skill via the form of entertainment you like!

Amazing, isn’t it? A platform to test your audacity and aspiration via book or movie or series or anime or photography or music!  Yes, it is here!

Seize the day presents “Quill of Scion: An Artistry Carnival”- the platform you may be longing for since the very day you read “Norwegian Wood” or watched “The Book Thief”.

Most of you have dreamt to write with the feather pen of our ancestors, who used to put it in the inkpot to write the most perfect manuscripts. It’s time for you to hold the quill and write your voice as your voice is the voice of our future generation – scions! We have the following segments in our carnival:

  1. Book Review (Bangla)
  2. Book Review (English)

3.Campus Ambassador Awards

Still thinking?? We ensure the best judges around the country and even beyond the country to judge your content! The decision of judges will be final and we will make sure you will learn some best tips and lessons by this event which will help you lifelong.

All of us are familiar with the quote of Alberto Manguel, “Maybe this is why we read, and why in moments of darkness we return to books: to find words for what we already know!

Books inspired us to write and writing about books is another inspiration to express your different sets of thoughts in front of the world. Maybe you find some good traits of the most known villains or the unknown reason for the altruistic behavior of the hero! Maybe you can feel the love of Bella which drives her to be a vampire or the cruelty of Count Dracula for what he should be killed! Yes in the segment of book and movie review, it’s your thought, your language, and your own imagination which you will color in the papers by your quill. Also, you may be the one who can show us the difference between a cloud floating in the sky and tell a story about them. Or you can capture the raindrops on the grass to describe why the tears of the princess of the sky turned into rain. Yes in the segment of theme photography you can unleash your crazy imagination to find the most harmonic story with the content of your photo.  Again some characters in your head are braver than Bear Grylls, wilder than James Bond, sharper than Robert Langdon, and a dreamer like Rapunzel. In the story writing segment, the paper is all yours, the characters are all yours- you can make them do anything they want or anything you want. From the deepest of amazon to the highest peak of the Himalayas you can send them anywhere! Let your quill do the job and create the most amazing stories of history!

Or you may have the sweeter voice ever! No party, no outing, no celebration of your family and friends can be top-notch without your singing. Or you may sing only for yourselves, sometimes just by voice, sometimes karaoke, again sometimes with strings of guitar or keys of a piano. Let’s open up this time in the segment of music! Show your hidden talent and create a new melodious octave that people are craving to hear! Yes, you can and you will do it!!

And this carnival will bring all in one package! So don’t miss the opportunity! Registration right now in Quill of Scion: An Artistry Carnival and show your creativity!

Get yourself registered in this amazing event to showcase your latent talents.

Once upon a time, there was a master of martial art who had his own camp for practice. He used to sit and train his students. Many did not see him walk. Most of the time he had been seen sitting.

One day a senior player was walking alone in the field. And he was limping. seeing the player, a little boy asked his master,

“Master! Why is this man walking like a crippled?”

The master said,

“That man has only one ball under his Trouser, that’s why.”

The little boy got shocked and replied,

“But how? How is this possible?”Retaliation of nature

Master said,

“He lost one of his balls in 1971 at the independent war.”

The boy said, “seriously? How did he lose that?”

“Because He said to the military that he has two balls under his trouser. That was the fucking reason.”

The master started laughing. And The boy plunged into deep thought.

The boy took time and asked,

“Why is a man going to say that he has two balls when everyone knows all men have two generally?”

Master replied with a chuckle,

“Because he has three balls in the past actually. And the military was checking under his trouser whether he is Muslim or not. But the stupid man thought the military was checking his balls”

After saying this whole story about the player who was limping on the field the master started laughing loudly. The little boy has remained silent. Thinking about the story the master said to him moments ago.

Seeing the little boy quite-

master told him,

“Don’t think much about It, my boy.”

The boy said,

“Master! You are joking, right?”

Master said,

“Oh, my boy! My smart boy! You got me. Yes, I am joking. Now keep your concentration on Stretching. Otherwise, It may cause you hamstring injury.”

Actually, The truth was, master Used to hate that senior player who was ruled out of the Olympic Last year due to his hamstring injury.

A few years later, the master got injured by cancer in his own balls and there was no way to keep him alive without cutting one of his balls out of two. The doctors cut his ball and saved his life.

After this happens, one day the Master was coming towards the field for teaching. And the boy was the first time seeing his master walking. The master was cramping. And the little boy asked,

“Master! Why are you walking like a crippled?”

Master didn’t like the word ‘crippled’ from his student. So he replied,

“Oh, my boy! My sweet boy! Did you remember the story I told you about a man who lost his ball in 1971 at the independent war? That man was no-one but me.”

The little boy said,

“Oh, master! I feel pity for you.”

Master replied with sorrow,

“Don’t Think much about It, boy. Keep concentration in your stretching. And remember, Never make jokes at someone’s plight.”

Unemployment due to the pandemic

Unemployment due to the pandemic

The coronavirus pandemic has caused hundreds of unemployment in Bangladesh and all around the world. For some people, there is literally no source of income as they have been kicked out of their work. People are struggling with paying for their daily needs and wants. People cannot afford food, as the price of the ingredients have become higher due to the pandemic

The pandemic has caused a rising concern over people’s incomes. Those jobs who did not kick employees out, are paying only half of the payment they were supposed to provide. Other working jobs are not paying the employees at all, even though, they are making the workers work full time. This is really concerning and troubling in the daily people’s lives.

The workers, however are getting demotivated because of the sudden change in their salary. They demand full salary due to the immense workload they have. But the employers are stubborn and not listening to the full time employees. It is causing a huge gap between employer employee relationship.

A valid concern about the workers are that they need to feed themselves and their family but failing to do so due to lack of income. They are even leaving their jobs and become unemployed due to this.Unemployment due to the pandemic

Unemployment has been going on since the start of the pandemic. In my opinion, the government should take steps in covering the expenses of its country’s citizens. It should provide a monthly wage to the incomeless families. However, another concern is the safety of the citizens.

Government should provide certain safety measures such as k95 masks and educate them about safety. I’m sure in this way, many countries would be educated and safe not increasing the pandemic any longer.

Dealing with academic life

Dealing with academic life.

Our academic life consists of innumerable examinations . Have we ever thought what is the sole purpose of attending exams ?  Basically an exam is a formal test that we take  to show our knowledge or ability in a particular subject, or to obtain a qualification.

Academic exams are something which we face very often in our student life . Although with the course of time , exams have become an integral part , we sometimes fail to  cope up with exam stress . Due to society pressure , peer pressure and family pressure exam has turned into a scary test for us .

I asked a friend of mine to state her opinion on this . She said , “For me dealing with exams has always been stressful. Frankly speaking, exams emphasize more on testing our memory rather than our intelligence. There are times when I had prepared well for exams but unfortunately I forgot many things while writing my answer script. Again sometimes staring at the question paper I got panic attacks. I think the main reason behind this is the fact we get pressurized from our family or teachers.”

Like she said there is a huge pressure of getting the perfect GPA score in board exams .  So it is very important to know how to deal with this pressure effectively . Here are a few helpful tips to follow if you are a student .Dealing with academic life

1) Set up a routine:-

Having a proper routine will inevitably make your day productive . When we create a routine we have to keep in mind that the routine needs to be flexible , more elaborately speaking the routine needs to be such which fits with our lifestyle perfectly . There are various time management techniques we can easily find on the internet . For eg ;The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method developed by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s. The technique uses a timer to break down work into intervals, traditionally 25 minutes in length, separated by short breaks . Many students have found this particular technique to be very helpful for them .

2) Avoid spending too much time on social media  :-

We live in an age where social media has become the icon of our lives .  It has bought the world closer , no doubt about that . But with the rise of social media people are now getting more and more addicted to their phone.  Science shows that excessive use of any modern device has an alarming effect on human body . Medical researchers continue to examine any health risks associated with mobile phone use. Research has focused on germs, traffic accidents, cancer, electromagnetic radiation, and health effects such as changes in brain activity and sleep patterns.

3) Study through the Internet :-                                                                                     In  Bangladesh there are various online schools like 10 min school , Onnorokompathshala , Neuron plus etc . They have a collection of videos on YouTube which are completely free . Students now can get a lot of help through online classes and tutorials .

(4)Develop ethics :-   Patience and sincerity towards your academic life  will bring the greatest change in your life . We have to always remember that a person with a sincere mindset becomes more successful than a person with dishonest intention. There is no alternative of hardwork when it comes to qualifications . Never give up working hard . Your hardwork and dedication will find it’s way out in life.   

(5)  Make friends carefully :-

Your surrounding will be  comprised of the friends you make in your academic life .  It’s upto you to differentiate between right and wrong in this regard. Staying in a positive environment will help you stay positive during your stressful days .

(6) Exercise regularly :-

Even a  30 mins simple cardio or a walk will help our blood circulation to increase and keep us feeling energetic throughout the whole day .

(7) Meditate to increase concentration :-

Paying keen attention to your class lectures is a very important part of  student life .  Many students have difficulty concentrating for a specific period of time . Consistent meditation and yoga helps to relax the body and mind .

(8)Participate in extra curricular activities :-

Qualities like leadership and experience can be achieved through participating in various cultural and extra curricular activities .

(9) Develop a habit of reading books :-

In order to rejuvenate yourself sometimes it is better to read books other than your academic ones on your spare time . Make sure to never forget that books are a man’s best friend.

(9) Follow the advice of inspirational people :-

It is very important to follow inspirational people to boost up our determination .

Lastly the most important thing in student life is confidence . There will be very tough and stressful times in our student life . But we can easily overcome it through putting efforts in the best way possible .  At the end of the day everyone has different techniques and strategies  with which they can improve their abilities .  We need to find out ways to gather and  simplify information in order to understand it better .

Racism and thoughts on it

0

Racism and thoughts on it :

A very debatable and first world problem is racism . Very harsh truth is, racism is instilled in us from our childhood. If we dig a bit deeper we will learn that society is held responsible for it . But what does it mean by the term “ society “? Society consists of us .

A particular way of thinking is prevalent in us which has been passed down through generations . That way of thinking  develops into our mentality . Our mentality is reflected clearly in every part of our life later on . Mentality actually puts our perception and understanding ability within a limited range and it leads to our selective taste and picking favorites .

It leads to us having our very own definition of “beautiful vs ugly “ .  It leads to various materialistic society standards . If they are not fulfilled we start criticizing and complaining .  Every country has its own society standards . In our country Bangladesh , the most common mentality reflection is that  we prefer fair skinned people over dark skinned people . Dark skin is considered as a disadvantage .

This is why many dark skinned people try various ways to bleach their skin . Asia is considered to be the largest consumer market of skin lightening and fairness products . These whitening products lead to decrease in melanin production and increase risks like skin irritations , allergy and deadly skin cancer . Racism and thoughts on it

In whitening products  ingredients  like mercury, steroids , BHT, BHA, Dioxane, Fragrance needs to be watched out as they can be toxic for your skin . Yet people are still buying these products because they are not confident to be themselves .

Body shaming has also been a prominent topic all over the world . Females are especially vulnerable to this topic since we are being bombarded with perfect body goals and unrealistic standards all over social media . Young girls are getting insecure day by day and are choosing to starve to get their ideal body and look like their favorite model. They are in a constant pressure to lose weight by society also.

Instead of this approach, a proper healthy diet and healthy lifestyle needs to be promoted more . A healthy lifestyle will help us improve our metabolism , strength  , energy and make us happier as a person . Just like this , beauty standards are leading people to have low self esteem and mental issues . Teenagers are more affected to matters like this .

Discrimination related to social class is also an extremely common scenario here . People are judged openly for their economic and lifestyle status in every sector including institutions , workplace , gatherings etc . It plays a vital role and affects the social relation . People are treated differently based on their social and economic status . People with lower income range especially laborers are being insulted and exploited financially by their privileged owner .

Even though we are a nation where people of different religion and culture are living together harmoniously  , our perspective needs to change a lot and we still have a long way to go in this journey of optimistic development and lifestyle change .

Why it is important to be able to laugh at yourself

Why it is important to be able to laugh at yourself

 

They look attractive

 

If you want to influence someone, make them feel the complete opposite of what they are feeling right now. If they are angry, make them laugh somehow. If sad, then again, make them laugh. And bam! They are into you. Something significant happens when someone’s emotional state is shifted suddenly and rapidly. It feels hypnotic. We feel drawn toward the things, persons that/who shift our mood instantly.

Amygdala is the part of the brain that receives emotional drifts. Amygdala is the most primitive part of our brain that allows us to remember feeling something in a certain place or phase. It is the part of the brain that is responsible for the automatic responses and snap judgments we make. Amygdala hardly reasons with careful logic, it just remembers the feeling and causes us (humans) to respond to the feeling.

When you explain your misery and at the same time, you laugh about the drama of it all, that is what you do to the other person. You have them hooked (toward you). And since the amygdala doesn’t question too much, before they even know it, they are attracted to you. Having a sense of humor goes a long way when it comes to influencing others and even yourself.

Grief is an unproductive emotion

Corporates know it very well. Some even have a job title like “Grief Expert” in their HR Department!

Another favorite movie of mine “Terminator 3” had a dialogue that was somewhat an inspiration for this article. “Anger is more useful than despair.”

Luckily youtube has the scene cut out for you

You get the idea.

Any emotion but despair is useful. Comedy is clearly more productive than grief.

One of my favorite movies “Shawshank Redemption” had a dialogue that really hit me. “Get busy living or get busy dying.”

Learning to move on and get on with your life is the best thing you can give yourself. “When we are no longer able to change a situation – we are challenged to change ourselves.” – Viktor E. Frankl

 

A highly effective person refuses to wallow or whine

One of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People is they gain control over the things they have control over, rather than whinnying over the things that are not really in their control. They choose to focus on the things that are in their control instead of sweating over the things that are not in their control.

Certain things about you and your life are beyond your control. They are not within your purview.

Having a sense of humor gives you a sense of control.

Being helpless and vulnerable to so many things that are far beyond your control, you feel a psychological lack of control.

And a human has to practice control at things to satisfy his or her need of being in control. A person with anxiety is found to be overeating. Why? Because when you are anxious, you feel fear. It becomes a regular emotion that you don’t know how to control. You don’t get to practice control. So often you will find yourself practicing control at counterintuitive things. Overeating is just that.

All this sermon is just a fancy explanation of the saying “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.”

Not taking things personally

By laughing at your most embarrassing, dumb story, you give yourself a subconscious message “It’s not about you. It’s just life.” You laugh at the drama of it all, disassociate yourself from the cause. This is the 101 coping mechanism for not taking things personally.

TEDx speaker Frederik Imbo put this term really well.

He argues that for a person to be able to not take things personally, they must remember these 3 things.

Number 1: Know that it is not about you (Not that you deserve this). It is the circumstances or environment that is causing the other person to mistreat you.

Number 2:  You don’t get offended by the words that you think are untrue. In fact, you only get offended by the words that you know, deep inside, are true.

For instance, if you are skinny as hell, and someone calls you fat, do you take it personally?

No. Because –

  1. a) You know that the person simply doesn’t know what s/he is talking about
  2. b) You know that there is no way it (the fact that you are fat) is true.

Number 3:  If it really is about you (the fact that you are at fault and accountable for what happened), accept it, and give yourself empathy.

Remind yourself why (and how) you turned out to be the way you are and know that it’s not your fault.

 

By being able to humor about the unpleasant events,

  • You give yourself empathy (rather than waiting for someone else to do it for you)
  • You cut yourself some slack
  • You acknowledge your pain and misery
  • You give words to your sufferings (in a way, through humor)

This is the right way to move on, without taking things personally.

Why it is important to be able to laugh at yourself

Stepping on the toes of your hater

Also, when you can humor on your shortcomings or painful past, you kind of step on the toes of your haters. By criticizing yourself, you practically do their job for them and subtly steal their thunder. You get comfortable being uncomfortable. And when you would have gotten yourself that particular skill of being comfortable with the criticism, you would piss off a lot of people. Trust me on this one.

“Humor was another of the soul’s weapons in the fight for self-preservation. It is well known that humor, more than anything else in the human make-up, can afford an aloofness and an ability to rise above any situation, even if only for a few seconds.

I practically trained a friend of mine to develop a sense of humor. I suggested to him that we would promise each other to invent at least one amusing story daily, about some incident that could happen one day after our liberation. …

The attempt to develop a sense of humor and to see things in a humorous light is some kind of a trick learned while mastering the art of living. Yet it is possible to practice the art of living even in a concentration camp, although suffering is omnipresent. To draw an analogy a man’s suffering is similar to the behavior of gas. If a certain quantity of gas is pumped into an empty chamber, it will fill the chamber completely and evenly, no matter how big the chamber. Thus suffering completely fills the human soul and conscious mind, no matter whether the suffering is great or little. Therefore the “size’’ of human suffering is absolutely relative.”

Shrine of Lalon Shah

0

Shrine of Lalon Shah

Although Baulism originated from the second half of the 18th century, it was popularized by the Baul emperor mystic Guru Lalon Fakir. Baul emperor Lalon Fakir was able to create a distinct religion of Baul concept.

Lalon was a Hindu. She got married at a young age. After marriage, he started his journey in Srikshetra. On his way back, when he contracted smallpox, his companions left him in the middle of the road and spread the news of his death. A childless palanquin bearer named Siraj Shah picked up Lalon from the path and healed him.
When Lalon returned home, he was not allowed to go home as he had eaten Muslim rice. His wife also denies the expatriate husband. Seeing no change, Lalon returned to his patron Siraj Shah and accepted him as his guru.
After completing his pilgrimage in 1823, Lalon married a Muslim woman in Seoria village of Kumarkhali in Kushtia and settled there permanently. After Lalon’s death in 1890, he was buried here. Which is now widely known as Lalon Shah Mazar.

When I got on the bus at Gabtoli terminal with Lalon Shah’s shrine in front of my destination, it was 3 minutes to 5 o’clock. After leaving the bus, a consolation came, let’s go. I get on the bus and think to myself, get off at Kushtia, first the hotel, then rest, eat and drink, then sleep. The next morning goes straight to Sanji’s shrine. Then … the shrine of Lalon Shah. Shrine of Lalon Shah

Before going to the premises of his shrine, Lalon’s song was played in his mind. Then one by one I couldn’t help but sing. After a while, when I reached Savar, there was a lot of traffic noise and that busy picture again. Lalon’s song was lost for a while.
The plaque of the National Memorial was seen a little further after the traffic jam was cleared. The bus was speeding due to the fact that the road across Manikganj was a bit empty.
At this time, the wind was blowing through the window of the bus and the two eyes were closed as soon as it hit the body. I am at Paturia Ghat as soon as I open my eyes. The conductor said it would take 10 minutes, another passenger said 15 more minutes.
Then the ferry started moving through the middle of the Padma. I got off the bus and went to the audience cabin on the third floor of the ferry. Sitting on the third floor, the devastating Padma looks quite good.
It is a wonderful moment when the setting sun sets. I came to Kushtia and stayed in a hotel. The use of the hotel manager was very good. He also entertained the reporter by raising a cup of tea. After spending the night, after breakfast, go straight to Sanji’s shrine by rickshaw.
I went down in front of the shrine gate and noticed a small market on the right side. Ektara, Dotara, a combination of folk instruments in almost all the shops. I was wondering if I should buy something first. In the end, I decided to go to Guru’s shrine first and then go shopping.

As soon as he entered the shrine premises through the gate, a sense of self-respect was working in him. All around is clean and tidy. In front of the shrine where the mystic devotee Guru Lalon Saiji is lying in eternal sleep. Some more tombs. Several Lalonbhaktas tasted it. They go with the bounties they get from the visitors.

Wherever I went I found out this entertainment is on the ground floor of the auditorium. Upstairs is the main room of the auditorium. Occasionally there are various events here. The auditorium is quite improved. There are a library and museum next door. The museum has a monograph used by Lalon Fakir along with specimens of several folk collections. Affordable handicraft items also increased the interest in shopping.

Hundred year old Jhaudia Shahi Mosque

0

Hundred year old Jhaudia Shahi Mosque located at Jhaudia village in Kushtia sadar upazila, about 6.5 km west of the Kushtia-Jhenaidah highway. There are many mysteries surrounding the mosque. However, no one knows the exact history of when and who built it.

The mosque is built on a low plinth with an open courtyard. The main mosque is an oblong building and the entire compound is surrounded by a wall. There are two additional octagonal domed pavilions on the corners of the front boundary wall.

These corner towers are similar to those of Sat Gambuj Mosque in Dhaka and Ghoraghat Fort mosque in Dinajpur. Each pavilion has four axial arched openings. Their presence suggests that they were used as madrassah or for reciting the Quran. In between the pavilions, in the middle of the eastern boundary wall, there is a gateway to enter the mosque premises.

It is known that there is no history or book about the mosque. However, according to many locals, the mosque was miraculously uprooted many years ago. Since then, Muslim mosques have been maintained and worshiped. Since then, word of the construction of the mosque spread in the area and many people came to see it. Hundred year old Jhaudia Shahi Mosque

Many claim that Shah Sufi Adari Mia came from Iraq about 1100 years ago to spread Islam in Jhenaidah, Kushtia and Bagerhat. He settled in the village of Jhaudia between Jhenaidah and Kushtia. It is said that he built the mosque and preached the religion in the whole area. After the death of Adari Mia, he was buried in the area adjacent to the mosque. However, the locals said that he had no descendants in that place. A shrine committee was set up to maintain his grave.

There is also more disagreement about the construction of the mosque. The entrance to the mosque is inscribed with a large man-made identity and was established during the reign of the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb.


But there is no mention of who built it at that time. Even local conscious people could not say anything about its origin. The mosque is made of brick, stone, sand and porcelain. It has 5 lovely domes on the top and two minarets at the entrance. It has wonderful artistic craftsmanship. Easily captivating.


It is currently maintained by the government’s Department of Museums and Archeology.

I live very close to home but I have never been able to visit the house with two eyes, this is my regret for a long time. It would be a great misfortune for an intense literary lover like me not to visit the place where the world poet himself has been in the dust for more than three decades.
Why did Rabindranath himself say, many crores away for many days … a dew drop on a grain of rice! My condition was the same. I have set foot in many places, I have not only gone to Rabindra Bhavan. Unfortunately, this time it came to an end. The distance from Jhenaidah to Kushtia is fifty kilometers. And from Kushtia to Kuthibari it will be about twelve kilometers.
Literary love-Rabindra fascination has really come true this time by spending the accumulated enthusiasm accumulated for a long time. The soil of Bengal, the water of Bengal was so dear to the world poet that it was a proper realization in an afternoon at the house. Fakhrul Azam Russell and Hasan Hafizur Rahman, two traveling friends, set out for Kuthibari with dollars.
As soon as he reached Kushtia, he felt the pull of Shilaidaha. That pull dragged me to the house along the winding road that melted the endless green gap. The main road from Kushtia Chowdhury ends at Alauddin Nagar. From then on, we traveled along the narrow paved road through the middle of Alauddin Nagar to the house of the poet through the snake-like winding road.
The fascination that was the purpose of this journey was further enhanced by the fact that only green paddy fields, trees, and the busyness of arranging people’s families could be seen around the journey. Really, if the journey to the east of the destination is not pleasant and eye-catching, then the pull towards the main place of interest is a little dirty! The tension in the scenic view of the destination increased my tension even more.
I rented a van for ten rupees each and reached Kuthibari. The height of the house is two and a half stories. The house is the main attraction of the place. If we want to say the real beauty of the house built in a wonderful style of construction, we have to write it in the language of poetry like the world poet. Rabindranath's house in Shilaidaha KuthibariWhy, Rabindranath Tagore made a wonderful statement about the pyramids of Egypt, here the language of stone has surpassed the language of man… I think this remarkable quote of the poet himself can be easily passed on to his family. But in place of the stone of the pyramid, bricks have to be placed here.

The infinity fascination was gained by looking around the house. I was repeatedly thrilled to think, is this the house! The house that we are walking through this desert is exactly where the world poet used to walk a hundred years ago? He had paper and ink in his hand, pen. In the background, he used to talk to the river Padma flowing in Sagaurbe-Sollas and used to enchant the sky and air of Bengal by writing songs and poems.
I also had the good fortune to visualize Rabindranath Tagore several times. It was normal, looking at the intact windows of the house, through the open window, I could see the poet’s delight in nature view of Bengal. The poet probably loved plants very much. And why not love? If the mind is not green like nature, then one cannot become a world poet.
That is why the shade of some Rabindranath trees was found in the west-east-north corner around the house. The large old jackfruit tree at the back of the house still has many of its twigs, which is a testament to Rabindranath’s return to the house.
If human vowels were found, perhaps many unknown things could be known about the poet from them. Four palm trees standing side by side on the east side. The three are together, a palm tree a little farther apart. My favorite rhyme was probably written by the poet Tagore in his time by looking at one of these trees.

The Tagore family established this house on 30 bighas of land. The architectural style of this three-story house is very much like a pagoda. There is a boundary wall around the two bighas of land, which is eye-catching and beautiful, facing south. His grandfather Prince Dwarkanath Tagore became the owner of the zamindari at Patisar and Shahjadpur in the greater Rajshahi district of Bangladesh in 1830.
The center of this zamindari was Shilaidaha. The poet’s brothers Dwijendranath, Jyotirindranath, Satyendranath, and others have come to Shilaidaha to see a natural beauty and captivating form of Kushtia for the purpose of supervising the zamindari work. The poet first came to Shilaidaha in 18, and later in 1892 took charge of the zamindari. Rabindranath lived in a house in Shilaidaha for a long time.
But the poet liked the natural beauty of Shilaidaha so much that he was fascinated and expressed his desire to live permanently. The poet had a strong attraction towards the river Padma. In this Shilaidaha, almost all the Tagore dynasty lived in rural buildings and enjoyed the beauty of the Padma, Gorai Bidhaut rural nature. From 1892 to 1922, Rabindranath Tagore was in and out of Shilaidaha.
Shilaidaha Rabindranath Tagore’s mansion has been preserved as a glorious memory since 1958 under the management of the Archaeological Department. After the independence of Bangladesh in 1971, realizing the importance of Kuthibari, it was established as a museum by collecting various works of art of the poet. Rabindra Lilaniketan is full of different species of trees.
The same impression is made on the cornice of the roof of the cottage, which is protected by a wall resembling the waves of the Padma on the 2 bighas of land of the main building in Chilakotha architecture. There are 6 rooms on the first and second floors and 16 rooms on the third floor. The poet’s writing room was on the third floor. The poet has written many poems and stories sitting in this room.

Once your mindset changes

Once your mindset changes, everything outside will change along with it. In October 2012, on her home from school, a masked gunman boarded at the school bus and asked, “Who is Malala?” The girl replied, and immediately she was shot at the left side.

She woke up 10 days later in a hospital in Birmingham, England. The doctors and nurses told her about the attack —and that people around the world were praying for my recovery. My dear audience, later on, she established the Malala Fund, a charity dedicated to giving every girl an opportunity to achieve a future she chooses.

In recognition, she received Noble prize for peace and became the youngest-ever Nobel laureate. Why Malala did that day recognized her in front of the Taliban? Why did she engage herself in movements and many more, which caused her to go to the hospital? She would have been silent, right. But her mindset did all these to her. Malala Yousafzai proved that the only change of mentality and mindset is to make a difference. The established set of attitudes held by someone is known as a mindset. Once your mindset changes

The phrase “women’s empowerment” is used in the Gender Equality & Women’s Empowerment space (and beyond), it is generally in the context of issues —economic empowerment, political participation, and girls’ education. Kofi Anan said, there is no tool for development more effective than the empowerment of women in terms of girl’s education. Let us

look back to our past when women had no chance to even go outside. Then and that time, Begum Rokeya believed that women were held back by the ignorance of their own rights and responsibilities. In1909, she set up the Sakhawat Memorial Girl’s School immediately after her husband died, the first school for Muslim women in the region, starting with five students. She went from door to door, trying to persuade Muslim families to allow their daughters to attend school.

My dear opponents, when BegumRokeya herself, at first changed the conservative mentality of girls, so that they can come out from their ignorance. How can we deny the mindset of women as the biggest challenge? In terms of women empowerment, we mainly focus on the participation of women in political activities. Only 24.3 percent of all national parliamentarians were women as of February 2019, a slow increase from 11.3 percent in 1995. As of June 2019, 11 women are serving as Head of State and 12 are serving as Head of Government. Source: UNWOMEN.

India, once ruled by Indira Gandhi, now has just 64 women among its 542 MPs. The reason is quite clear, the mindset of women. Recently, the effectiveness is very much in doubt in Brazil. The country’s quota law, which initially mandated that only 20 percent of candidates be female, was instituted in 1995 and inspired by calls for quotas at the UN’s Fourth World Conference on Women that same year. According to the Brazilian feminist group CFEMEA, which monitors women’s issues in Congress, women constituted just over 5 percent of the chamber in 1989. Between 1945 and 1982, that figure was

below 2 percent. My dear opponent, here Brazilian women got the full opportunity in terms of political participation. However, they denied, because of their mindset, lack of education, ignorance, and insecurity. The United States, which ranks 85th on the IPU’s gender-equity list is also not taking quota reformation as a step. Because, according to them, the main challenge is to change the mindset first, rather than changing the quota.

According to women’s rights activists, women members of our political parties generally do not have any decision-making power and their male counterparts, which definitely discourage the educated and intellectually active women to come to politics, always look them down upon.If we look at the economic empowerment of women, since 2013, because of the UN Women supported a review of Kenyan public procurement, a minimum of 30% of annual government spending is reserved for women, youth, and people with disabilities.

In addition, UN Women, before starting their work for the framework, focused upon education, self-awareness, and lack of ignorance. Because, they at first faced the challenge of the mindset of women, to conquer this inequality problem and presented a smooth resolution. As Steve Maraboli said, once your mindset changes, everything outside will change along with it. However, today in our country, many women are giving their ideas shape. Persons like, Bibi Russel, Rubaba Dowla, Taslima Miji, and many more are proving themselves every day. They believed in their goal, and they had firmed mindset about their

desire, passion. But, in Pakistan, where many women refuse to complain at the police just for their ignorance, religious thoughts, in order to maintain social norms. What will we do with facing all those challenges, where still now, many women think themselves for nothing? Were many women, for the cause of religious circumstances, do not go outside? As Justine Creening says, No country can truly develop if half of its population are ignorant.

Therefore, women’s empowerment is necessary for the sake of nation’s overall development. For that, we need to change our mindset. As Angela Merkel quoted, we do not want the clock to be back on Sunday, we want the clocks to be forward. Despite having a very luxurious life, Sanna Marin took the responsibility of the whole Finland government only for her mindset to make a difference, to make a change. So, think logically instead of acting as a true feminist. Because  the mindset of women is the main challenge in pursuing women empowerment.

Curse of A Butterfly

Curse of A Butterfly

–Ariful Abir

“She is my daughter.”

Karimuddin said it gravely. It silenced his wife. No one spoke for a while. Not even the mosquitoes. Karim’s daughter Maya was sleeping between them. She was silent too. There was nothing to be heard other than the sound of dogs barking. After some times, his wife Zubaida said,

“She is thirteen, now. And she has a belly.”

Karim said nothing. He just stared at his wife with a blank stare. His wife said,

“You’re an honorable man and you don’t want your daughter to do that work. Fine, but remember, your honor doesn’t bring us food. My dishonor does.”

“Your disgrace doesn’t bring her any good work.” Karim said.

“My disgrace open another path for her to live.” Zubaida replied.

“She is my daughter.” Karim Uddin said it again with frost in his eyes. And then they both shut down.Curse of A Butterfly

It was twelve o’clock at night. Karim’s wife left the hut. She went where she goes every night. And Karim stared at his daughter’s face until he fell asleep.

It is a densely populated slum. There are dust and dung all around.  Young boys and girls play marble all day long. Each hut is attached to one another. Karim got a hut in the middle of the slum. He wouldn’t have lived here. But there was an accident that shattered everything.

“Hey boy, do you hear me?” Anis was looking for karimuddin’s cottage.

“Do you live here, boy?”

The boy stared at Anis’s gorgeous dress. He had never seen anyone dressed like that before. Karim asked,

“Do you know where master Karimuddin lives?”

The boy pointed to a hut. Every one of this slum knows master Karimuddin by one name though none of them studied under him. None of them studied under anyone.

Anis is sitting in front of his master. He stared at the room. A small hut made of straw. There is a little space outside with tin-shed for the cook. Karim was lying on his dirty bed with a broken leg.

“It was a truck.” Karim said.

Anis went to say something but said nothing at the end.

“You never thought of your favorite teacher living like this, did you?”

“I… I will buy you a wheelchair.” Anis said in a hushed voice.

“Is there any need of it?”

Anis replied nothing. He just kept his head down. Suddenly Maya came with an apple in her hand.

“Father, look, what I brought for you. It will heal…” seeing an unknown guy in front of his father she stopped. Anis felt a bit hesitant. So he stood up and said, “I will come tomorrow.” Then he left without giving anyone a chance to say anything.

“Where did you get it?” Karim asked his daughter.

“In the market.”

“Where did you get the money?”

“I have some savings, father.”

“And how did you know the path of the market?”

With a fancy smile in her cheek, she replied, “Mother has shown me the way.”

Karim gives his daughter a kiss on the forehead instead of eating the apple.

After a few days, Anis has bought Karimuddin a wheelchair. Karimuddin can walk around in a wheelchair now whenever he wants. Anis has promised his master that he will get him out of here after getting a good job and get a good house for them. Karim’s wife doesn’t believe this kind of words, but Karim does. He often thinks of marrying his daughter off to Anis. Ah! What a good boy Anis is. He is a piece of gold.

One night, Karim says to his wife,

“Do you know what I’m thinking?”

His wife Zubaida replied nothing. She just pays attention to clean the bed.  Karim continues to say,

“I am just thinking of marrying my daughter to anis.” As he finished speaking, he looked at his wife’s face. He tries to understand his wife’s mood. Zubaida remains silent. As if she hadn’t heard anything.

Karim started saying again, “Anis is a good lad. in a school, he used to…”

“If you have to urinate in night, urinate in this bottle.” Zubaida said. And began to leave. But karim gripped her arm and said,

“Why don’t you find a good job? You can find work as a baby sitter or a maid. Why do you do kind of work that I can’t reveal to outsiders? Why don’t you find a good work?”

“Do you think I didn’t try?” Zubaida said and escaped from her crippled husband’s grip.

“Tell me, what will I say when they ask me about our income source?”

“Tell them the truth.” Saying it Zubaida left the cottage.

A lake has been created beside the slum. Karim Uddin often goes there to visit. It is a beautiful lake. staying by the lake, he remembered his wife.  Standing by a lake like this, he told his wife he loved her. That was a long time ago. Can Zubaida remember those days now?

She was beautiful just like this lake. She is still beautiful now.

She has a mole on her cheek. Dimple shows when she smiles. Karim tries to remember the last time Zubaida smiled.

Meanwhile, Zubaida has to get out a little early today. Maya is alone at home. She went to the lake to bring Karim. They have to cross a highway road to get there. Zubaida went there and saw Karim is sitting alone beside the lake. There was no one around. Karim was happy to see his wife come. Zubaida quietly pushed the wheelchair and began to bring her husband home.

A freight truck appeared when they were in the middle of the highway. It was out of control and it came out of nowhere. Zubaida screamed and pushed the wheelchair off the road. She was clever enough to save her husband but not strong enough to save herself. She died saving her husband. It was a horrible yet beautiful death.

Everything is going well in Karim’s family now. They rented a good house. However, it wasn’t Anis who brought prosperity to Karim’s family. It’s Maya. Anis has proposed to marry her. But Maya rejects it.

Karim doesn’t understand his daughter nowadays. He tries to understand her all the time. He looks at his daughter and the only thing he can remember is that Maya once said with a fancy smile on her face, ‘Mother has shown me the way’.
