This is my first TV show. I was in a school play a couple of years ago, The Little Prince. There were a few of us who shared the title role.
How many episodes did you film for season one?
Loads!

The episodes were not all filmed in order so if we had a bunch of scenes, in say the playground, then we would film them in one go, even if they were in different episodes.
Which is your favorite episode and why?
The last one, where they throw me a surprise party. It was great fun to film and Frank Woodley who plays my Dad, cracked us up on set as he is really funny.

What’s your favorite movie/TV show?
I really love the Beetlejuice movie and also love shows like Stranger Things and Riverdale.

What kind of role would you like to play next?
I would love to be in Beetlejuice or a crazy stage show like that, or maybe starring on a long-running show similar to Friends.
Age that wants to explore alone.One of the most hardest time, a child goes through is in their teenage.We can call this time,” Age of collapse”.Because it’s about more growing and time of destructions as well.A child between the age of 10- 20 is considered as teenage. Between these times,teens do meet many people,do loose many. They pass through lots of difficulties, misunderstandings and heavy changes in both body and mind. As a result, they have many bad mood swings due to these changes. And so they act different. They feel insecure regarding their surroundings and life.
One of the major responsible for these bad times are family and society. They keep comparing and pressurizing them for every now and then. Mostly give a lots of pressure from peers, parents and society to conform to conflict expectations. To blame and giving for more pressure, so that teens feel down and useless, they do exaggerate about others. So teens are at a risk of mental and physical health issues. They lack good mentors, role models and heroes. They tempted to begin unhealthy patterns with drugs and alcohol.It’s normal for teens to worry about things.But our elders and society should be helpful to them rather than being too strict.
In teenage,teenagers face nothing but challenges.From these early time of teenage,teens starts understanding emotions, feelings like stuffs.Besides the common teenage problems that teens face today are:Self – Esteem,Body Image,Bullying,engaging in wrong relationships,uncomfortable realtions in parents and family.As a result, they feel anxiety,depression, frustations.Panic seize them.And they feel alone.Being frustrated they took wrong steps n harm thenselves. For these,Parents n society are are way much responsible. Every child have some amazing talents in them.And teenage is the best age to start to explore themselves.
It is the best time from where they can build up themselves and make ready for future.Thus parents and society should be co-operative, courageous and dedicated for them.So that besides studying, they can be busy with their favourite times.And this absolutely be family’s responsibility to look after for them about such creativities and stuffs.Every children can’t be a topper at school.But they are somewhere a champion.It’s us who should help in making themselves. Family should be friendly with a child from the very beginning so that they can’t move for any illegal stuffs.
Many times we observe that, teens start engaging in illegal relationships and do illegal stuffs in there. After then they r to be pressurized and blamed for more bad stuffs. And these r what they can’t share to anyone and r bound to do negative works.Then they found themselves in a trap that destructs their future.On the other hand, unexpected break up’s shattered them a lot.Thus these becomes one of the major reason for which they be so stressful and so that they engage in lots of risky behaviours.Because they can’t deal with these unfairness in life.Nowadays,social media affects them much.They receive negative tasks more than the positive and possible works.
Their demands start to grow n obviously that turns in stubborness for wrong demands.In such cases,parents and elders shouldn’t loose their temper but be more patient towards them.Elders should come forward to make them for a healthy,happy and comfortable life.Also in keeping them busy n encourage them in their creativity and favourite times beside study. Of course not keeping them in pressure but with lots of love and supports.Being strict is good sometimes. But over strictness can take a negative turn on them.So facing such hazy situations are too natural for this ages.But,if elders have their full support and courage,teenagers will have a beautiful and positive life to lead.
‘HERALD’ – short story.The morning light came through the window and touched my face. I felt warm and comfortable. After few seconds the view of the seashore was vivid in front of my eyes. I looked at the clock on the table beside the window. It was 8am in morning. I looked through the window, every time a wave hit on the shore it took away some tiny turtles into the deep ocean. It seems very interesting how those tiny little turtles will grow up in the unfathomable ocean and come back to the same exact place to lay their eggs even though they lived only few minutes on this sands after coming out of their eggshells.
Some kids were there, playing on the beach. They were helping the turtles so that they could reach the sea before any hawk finds it’s breakfast. The whirling wind from the sea came through the window and blew my hair over my forehead. It was like the sea sent a herald asking for me to visit her. All of a sudden a loud voice was calling my name. Everything in front of me started to shrink and vanished into a dot. My mom was shouting my name to wake me up. “It’s Saturday mom! Why did you open the window so early. Oh gosh! Why It’s so bright!”, I said rubbing my eyes. “ It’s 11 o’ clock”, said my mom. I tried to look through the window. All I could see was a bunch of tourists and plastic wastes.
‘Foundation21’ here for a change,a foundation my friends Sayem Niloy, Mashrukur Rahman, Arish Islam and I started back in 2018 in the cafeteria of Scholastica Senior Uttara. A simple conversation regarding Robiul, a kid who lived at the Uttara Sector 4 slum. Robiul was only 13 years old when we met him and worked at construction sites as his parents didn’t have good enough jobs to support the family. My friends used to play street football with him and thus came the idea of helping the kids in the slum area of Uttara with basic needs and education. We then proceeded to start a second project called the ‘Red Badge of Courage’, Through this project, we aim to supply workshops in rural areas of Bangladesh as well as different schools to talk about menstruation. Alongside this, we will also manufacture reusable pads, sell it for a low price and the proceeds will go towards manufacturing more reusable pads. In the workshops, we will include the teaching of how to make reusable pads with household items, this portion of the workshop will empower women to work, reduce unemployment, and increase menstrual hygiene level. We aim to provide every girl and woman in Bangladesh with necessary menstrual needs by 2031.
If you aren’t aware of what menstruation is, here’s a crash course!
Menstruation is the process in a woman of discharging blood and other material from the lining of the uterus at intervals of about one lunar month from puberty until the menopause except during pregnancy, but in my words, menstruation is the only blood that is tied to creation, the blood that brings life.
What is the problem you might ask,
In Bangladesh, the toilet to student ratio is 1:187 whilst the standard according to the World Health Organization (WHO) is one toilet for 25 girls. The study also found that 32% of menstruating girls do not use the toilet at school during their period.
According to the Bangladesh National Hygiene Baseline Survey (BNHBS) 2014, only six percent of girls received any education session related to menstrual hygiene at school.
To us what makes a difference is that we can help the 41% of the schoolgirls in Bangladesh who do not attend classes during their periods, and the 73% women who miss their work for an average 6 days a month for infection (reproductive and urinary tract infections) caused by unhygienic menstrual management
Only about 10% of the female population uses pads. To us, helping about 80% of women who use cloth and 10% tend to not use anything, creates a change for future generations.
Our first project was during the Ramadan of 2018 when we supplied iftar, snacks, drinks, school supplies, and books to 70 kids at Chinnomul Shishu Kollan Shongstha at the Uttara Sector 4 slum right by the railway. We started 2019 by hosting a charity football tournament called F21 Cup, Chapter 1 through which we gathered blankets and sweaters for over 30 families who live by the slum. Throughout 2019 we gathered materials and solid planning for foundation 21. 1During the winter of 2019 we held F21 Cup, Chapter 2 where we raised Tk.15,000 for the manufacturing of reusable pads. You can say the beginning of our 2020 was great as we received a grant of $1000 from a grant scheme called ‘Go Make a Difference’ which is only available to UWC students. We have received the fund for the manufacturing of reusable pads as well as to hold workshops. I had also applied for a TedxYouth at UWC Atlantic College regarding menstruation and foundation 21, which was to be held on the 5th of April 2020, however, the Tedx Talk got canceled as we had to leave campus and come back home, and the project will be executed hopefully when the during the summer of 2021 or whenever COVID-19 is gone and it is safe to carry it out.
You may ask why is the ‘Red Badge of Courage’ our main focus and
Why do I care? Because looking back, I wish I had all the information and proper knowledge of menstruation, I wish I had an atmosphere where menstruation is not a taboo and no women have to hide and sink away while they are bleeding to one day give life to someone.
Why should you care? Regardless of gender, this is something us women bleed through 7 days per month till menopause, we get up stronger, we do everything regardless of menstruation or not. But when the society oppresses you, shuts you down and tells to stop talking about it.”, when society oppresses you from your rights as a woman, that’s when you know a change is needed, that’s when you understand we all need to help women who can’t afford menstrual products and help women talk periods.
Foundation 21 has a great team of talented and dedicated members who have helped us grow as a family. If you want more information on our work or us to check out our Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/foundationb21) or Instagram ( @foundationtwentyone)
Some time I ask myself What is The future of Bangladeshi children’s film? Most of the children’s films that have been seen have grown up. What I saw at a young age may not be very large in number, but I can’t deny that all the things I saw in my childhood did not meet many of the needs of my childhood. Because I haven’t forgotten a lot of scenes today, even after so many years, because they must have made a four-way walk in my mind. Seeing the title of the writing, you must understand that I am talking about the role of the childish film that moved me in my childhood.
I still vividly remember Shakeel, the master of ‘Holiday Hour’ and ‘Master Sumon’ or ‘Prize Boy’. I remember their mischievousness in the movies, the story of all those children’s movies revolving in my child’s mind, I remember my late father used to take me to the theaters to watch those children’s movies. I wonder how a quality film and a story that is useful for the child’s mind can cut the stain. The trend towards middle-class theaters in Bangladesh gradually waned in my youth.
I don’t hear that the tide has changed so much. On the contrary, the veil of the theater has fallen at a massive rate. The quality, story, commercial success and improvement of Bengali cinema made for a large scale are more suitable in the discussion of these movie buffs. As much as an ordinary film lover like me agrees with the audience – our Bangladeshi cinema has not been able to keep pace with the world. There are many reasons behind it. He will not go to the discussion. I will be in the discussion of children’s films. It is only natural that when large-scale films start losing viewers, children’s films will also start losing viewers. Because the children will not go to the auditorium alone anymore.
But any Hollywood-made children’s movie like Haller, ‘Kungfu Panda’, ‘Trolls’, ‘Jungle Book’, ‘Beauty and the Beast’, ‘Cinderella’, ‘Peter’s Dragon’, ‘Harry Potter’ or ‘Boss Baby’ When it is shown in a modern digital movie theater in Bashundhara or Jamuna Future Park, there is an overflow of spectators of all ages, including children. In fact, ordinary people want to see beautiful movies, parents want to take their children to the theater. We have the opportunity to trade in this case but we certainly lack the commercialization system.
In the seventies or eighties, although few in number, the quality of the Indian subcontinent in comparison with other movies in Bangladesh, when the production of children’s movies at the same time began to make a couple of the names of which I mentioned at the beginning of writing. But where the quality of Indian films in the neighboring country is gradually increasing and moving towards the stage of competing with Hollywood, our films have come to a standstill at a great time. There are many reasons behind this. Children’s films have already come to a standstill, and the development of adult films has come to a standstill.
After the independence of Bangladesh, an initiative was taken to make children’s films at the government level. I heard that the decision was made that one of the three pictures made with government grant must be a child. Although it did not happen at all. In the late seventies, Sush Dutt made the acclaimed children’s film ‘Fig Flower’ based on Dr. Ashraf Siddiqui’s story ‘The Boy in the Alley’. Then in 1970 Badal Rahman created Emil’s Gaenda Bahini with government grant. This is the first children’s film in Bangladesh with a government grant. In 1972, Syed Salahuddin Zaki made a film called ‘Galpa Dadur Galpa Kotha’ for the Shishu Academy. In 2002, the late Tareq Masad produced ‘Matir Moyna’ which was screened at the Cannes Film Festival.
Although many would not call it a completely childish movie. Many more years later, in 2009, the country’s first children’s digital film ‘Durbin’ was made. Priya Kotha is an extraordinary novel by the literary Shirshendu Mukhepadhyay. Director Zafar Firaj has also won the award for Best Film Director in the International Category from the Mumbai Film Academy for his directorial performance in the film. Among the Bangladeshi producers, Mershedul Islam has shown the most success in making children’s films. His works ‘Dipu Number Two (1997)’, ‘Distance’ (2004) and ‘My Friend Rashed (2011)’ became very popular among children and teenagers. But the saddest thing is that the ‘Children’s Academy in Bangladesh’, established in 1986, has so far made only twenty short films in full length and short length.
Sometimes Dipu Number Two ‘,’ Amar Bandhu Rashed ‘,’ Matir Moyna ‘,’ Durbin ‘, some of these children’s movies have been made in isolation, but the children’s films have not become a powerful medium as they have not become commercial. At the same time, with the rapid development of information technology and globalization, the whole world has come under its control. Naturally, the high-tech children’s movies made in the developed world have attracted a lot of children and parents.
That’s normal. Then the developed world has gradually moved away from the real film to the animated movie by making the children’s film as colorful and extreme as the pages of a book. Child animation has been made easier by expanding the color scheme and unreality in the animation. Though small in number, neighboring India is also making children’s films from time to time. As far as I can remember, there is an animated children’s show in Bangladesh, probably ‘Meena’ which was shown on TV in the early nineties.
We all know it as the Minar cartoon. Almost all of us children of a long generation have seen the Meena cartoon of Kisha. However, it was mainly a propaganda drama to spread education with the help of UNICEF. But its widespread popularity among children is undeniable. Then probably in the year 2000 an animated movie called ‘Montu Mia Abhiyan’ was made and aired on Ekushey TV. It had three episodes. Apart from this, I don’t have any information about making a complete animated movie for children in Bangladesh.
We were also able to create two characters, Meena and Montu Mia. Of course this is a remarkable thing. In the developed world, in addition to animating children’s films, they also pay special attention to character development nowadays. Its commercial importance is unimaginable. Let me give a sixth example. I noticed myself after the release of the movie ‘Trolls’
The children liked the colorful characters so much that they started talking about the movie characters in their own environment, who liked which character, who liked to buy. Just at that time the market was filled with dolls made in the form of troll characters. No matter how much the movie sells dolls, the income does not seem to be less. The world has changed.
I will not go here to discuss whether trade is good or bad. But there is no alternative to commercialization if it is to survive. Another thing I have noticed a lot is because of living in exile. Children who grow up here watch lots of children’s movies because they have the opportunity to watch, they have the time and they want to watch. There is no reason not to want to see the current children growing up in Bangladesh. . But the amount of illiterate competition and pressure that the bookworm team has created by stealing children’s childhood has made a large part of parents feel that watching movies is a waste of time.
This is one of the major problems in the commercialization of children’s films. What I was saying is that when my baby daughter or her Bangladeshi friends emigrated to Australia to watch a children’s movie, I thought if I could show them a Bangladeshi children’s movie! If any movie in mother tongue could attract their attention! But I can’t find any movie that attracts the brain of the age in this technique. This is a big offense. We have no shortage of childish stories, no shortage of fairy tales. From the amount of characters in the spread of one Sukumar Roy, we could create so many characters in the minds of children on the big screen.
Let’s take a look back at the history of children’s film. Early in the history of filmmaking, Lumi৫re’s brothers made a children’s film, Baby at the Breakfast Table, in 1895. Satyajit Ray is one of the foremost names in making children’s films for the Bengali speaking community in India. According to ‘Gupi Gain Bagha Bain’, in the land of the diamond king, he has made an experimental and instructive children’s film and has created something for children to watch for a lifetime. Although the first talking film ‘Mukh O Mukhesh’ was made in Bangladesh in 1956, the local directors-producers remained silent for a long time in making films for children. Children and adolescents must have their own world. It has its own type.
Their films should be on the scale of their individuality. That is why children’s films deserve a special significance. The impact of digital media in the age of technology is undeniable. And that’s why talkative films are the most effective tool of the time in shaping a child’s mind. At one time, comics and fairy tales were the mainstay of children’s fiction. Hollywood continues to regularly present every favorite comic and fairy tale character of children on the digital screen. Children and teenagers are being attracted. Trade is also plentiful. The director-producer does not have to think about investing in making children’s films. In the developed world, every movie is rated for its usefulness before being released in theaters.
Which rating the child will be able to see alone, which will require parental companionship, is determined by the rating. The matter is also pleasant for the parents. Because nowadays animation movies are being made only for full adult use. Just calling cartoons cartoons can no longer be called childish. Of course, we in Bangladesh do not seem to have time to think about all this. In fact, it has been made into a children’s film কয়েকটি a few songs in hand.
An organization called ‘Children’s Film Society Bangladesh’ has been formed in the midst of so many children’s films. Since its inception on August 8, 2006, the company has been hosting the International Children’s Film Festival for almost five years. At a slower pace, the company continues to at least organize a variety of activities for children about the film. From the point of view of a viewer and a parent, it is unfortunate to say that film, the most powerful medium for the spread of art literature in today’s technological world, has played such an effective role in educating, educating and educating children in Bangladesh; It can be said that such a dream can be seen in the near future but the outline of the implementation of the dream is not so visible.
However, with this gap in negativity, it can be said that Hollywood and Bollywood children’s films will continue to use our children’s vision to improve their business as well as their children’s films because technology and media are now readily available and fast. However, the tide of development can be seen in the midst of Bengali cinema, which has been made for a large scale, the development story, the use of technology and acting are visible everywhere. The number of visitors is also increasing naturally. This is just an opportunity, if the concerned people take the initiative to regularize and commercialize the production of children’s films in this development, then perhaps a bright future of children’s films can be expected in Bangladesh as well.
A trip to Cox’s Bazar almost remains incomplete if you don’t pay a visit to the famous Burmese market. A quick visit to the Burmese market will make your beach trip more exciting.
History of the market
This market evolved from the initiative taken by a Burmese woman in 1962. On a small scale, she set up a kiosk of local Rakhine handicrafts, bags, lungi, bedsheets, churut (traditional cigars), etc. in her home adjacent to the Burmese Primary School in Tekpara. The native and foreign tourists visiting Cox’s Bazar used to take a glance at the things in her kiosk.
Anticipating the demand of the tourists, she commercially opened a store named ‘Unang Cox’s Bazar Cottage Industries’ in front of her house. One by one, Tin tin Burmese store, Rakhine store, Ume store, Nurani emporium, Bibi Fashion Diamond store, etc. were formed. Gradually, that small kiosk turned into the large market that we see today. Though initially there was a shortage in the variety of products, later on, Burmese products like lungi, thaami, flip-flops, pickles, balms, herbs, different types of stones, crafts made of seashells and wood were added to the queue.
Decorative handicrafts in the market
Ethnicity of vendors
One might consider the Burmese store to be a store run by Burmese people having Burmese goods. Although the stores do have Burmese products, the vendors are not Burmese. They are Rakhines, more specifically, of Arakan descent. Ethnically and culturally, the Rakhines have many similarities with the Burmese. However, there are linguistic differences.
In the beginning, the stores were run by Rakhine women. But currently, many Bengalis are also engaged in the business. Many Hindu and Muslim businessmen have built shopping malls that are familiar with the name of the ‘Burmese market’.
Present condition of the market
At present, the Rakhine vendors are very few in number. Now the original form of the Burmese market is barely visible. Instinctively, people have an attraction to foreign culture and foreign products. That’s why as the sun sets during tourist season, the Burmese market turns into an assemblage of visitors. The sellers earn a satisfactory amount of profit. According to a seller in the Burmese market situated near the Sugandha point, during the tourist season, per day the total earning becomes approximately BDT 30,000-50,000.

Nature of products
As the number of stores is increasing, so is the variety and quantity of products. However, due to the ubiquity of modernized products, traditional products have almost become extinct. As the Chinese products are abundant, we hardly find the Burmese handmade products. Even they import the snails, seashells, and conches. They collect very few things from our ocean.
Products in the Burmese market
The products starting from BDT 10 to BDT 500 are available here. The visits of journalists often upset the vendors of journalists. There is a restriction on collecting seashells and conches from the sea. This restriction is for nothing but the welfare of our environment. Collecting snails, seashells, or conches from the sea might hamper the ecosystem. Nevertheless, the fishermen are still indulged in this act to fulfilling the demand of the Burmese market.
Now let’s look at the most popular products of the Burmese market. These are:
Achar (pickles)
Burmese pickles in Cox’s Bazar are mentionable. These are different from our traditional homemade pickles. Pickles of different fruits such as mango, jujube, tamarind, olive, etc. of different price ranges are available. One can find a kind of sweet pickled mango made of thin slices of mango and molasses. There are delicious pickles of sweet tamarind and sugar. The prices of pickles range from BDT 15- 200.
Nuts
The Burmese walnuts imported from Myanmar are special attractions. These nuts are flour and sugar-coated. It is hard to find a tourist visiting Cox’s Bazar who has not tasted these nuts. These are available in plastic bags or jar costing BDT 40 – BDT 150.
Candies
One can find a wide variety of candies in the market. Peanut, coffee, butterscotch, fruit, milk, etc. flavored candies appeal both the kids and adults. Their price ranges from BDT 60 to BDT 300.
Dry fruits
Dehydrated fruits such as pineapples, peaches, jujubes, tamarinds, cherries, and even mangoes are also available at prices starting from BDT 100.
Besides enjoying the beautiful sunset on the beach, one can roam in this market and taste the delicious pickles, nuts, candies, and dry fruits in Cox’s Bazar.
How to go
The Burmese market is 4 km away from the Upazila Council. Presently, there are Burmese stores at Sugandha and Labani points too.
We generally consider children’s films to be useful films from the beginning to the end. We also call such films as children’s films. In fact, by watching children’s films, we get an idea about the world of children, their surroundings, their problems, obstacles, beliefs and misunderstandings. That is why it is said about children’s films that ‘films made with the aim of giving them mental development and pure pleasure by realizing different aspects of the child’s psyche can usually be included in this category (childish).
The Pakistan Children’s Film Association was formed in 1956 under the leadership of Kafil Uddin, the secretary of the provincial council. It is also known that in 1956, with the help of various embassies, the association organized a week-long children’s film exhibition at the Naz Cinema Hall in Dhaka. Fazlul Haque, founder and editor of the monthly Cinema, made a children’s film called “President” based on the story of his wife, novelist Rabia Khatun. The first children’s film made during the Pakistani rule We don’t know about children’s films here.
Though film-making started fast in the independent country gained through the great liberation war in 1971, there was no trend of making full-length children’s films. Six years after independence, director Subhash Dutt made a pornographic children’s film in 1986. Fig flower.The story of Dr. Ashraf Siddiqui ‘c Ira curb child “is an adaptation of the film. Despite some controversy rara avis – the country’s first independent film accepted as sisutaesa. Gaeyenda forces in 1980 in the name of Emil Badal Rahman sisutaesa a feature film.
It is based on useful topics of child mind and with the participation of most child artists. Then in 1973 c. B. The award-winning film directed by Zaman also reveals the minds and thoughts of children and teenagers. On the other hand, some people are also interested in calling Azizur Rahman’s Holiday Hour (1960) a children’s film. But there is a lot of debate about that. At present Bangladesh Shishu Academy has taken initiative to organize children’s film festival including production, collection and exhibition of children’s films.
Many have also become interested in making experimental children’s films using the availability of information technology. It is to be noted that the children of our country have also come forward to make children’s films. This is a very promising aspect. The history of child filmmaking is related to the history of film discovery. Exactly 122 years ago today, in 1795, Lumiere Brothers ‘Lomere instrument in cinematography. Discovered. Baby’s Breakfast (1895) and Watering in the Garden (1895) are two of the six short films they made at the time and screened on December 26 of the same year. Later, Charlie Chaplin’s The Kid (1920) was also reported to have been enjoyed by children. Walt Disney’s contribution to the production of children’s psychology-based films.
Dumurer Ful
Undeniable. This popular personality among children and teenagers all over the world achieved great success by using animation method in children’s films at one stage of child psychology experiment. Children’s films can be made based on child-friendly stories, tales and thought-provoking screenplays. Children’s films can also be made with the participation of child actors – actresses or adult actors – actresses. A movie is not just a children’s movie if only children act in it. Similarly, films starring older actors and actresses can also become impeccable children’s films or children’s films.
In this context, on the one hand, Ray’s films like Gupi Gain and Bagha Bain (1969) or Heerak Rajar Deshe (1960) can be recalled as well as the names of the many films in our country in which many children have acted. Childhood becomes a movie. Can’t get up In short, the main consideration in a children’s film is to express the eternal curiosity of the child’s mind or to provoke innovative thinking. But instead, children are used in many films in our country, but their behavior and dialogue projection in many cases, even adults are ashamed! However, the fault lies primarily with adults – not children at all.
Every year for the past decade, a week-long film festival and exhibition for children has been organized in Dhaka at the private level by the Chinese Film Society. We know, artist Mustafa Manowar, educationist. Many people, including Muhammad Zafar Iqbal and producer Morshedul Islam, are the main sponsors and facilitators of this project. Apart from screening of children’s films, the festival also hosts seminars on children’s films and discussions on children. It has been seen that children’s films from different parts of the world including Bangladesh are screened in this week-long event.
Amar Bondhu Rashed
Hopefully, the size of this project is also increasing year by year. It extends from the public library premises to other convenient places for children or cinema halls in Dhaka. As a result, it can be concluded that the involvement and involvement of children with this program is increasing day by day. The film’s interaction with children is also getting closer and deeper. Not to mention that this initiative is very good for the children of this country. But in spite of this, as its scope and range is not long lasting, a large number of children in this country do not get the news of the mentioned arrangement.
In addition, children’s film festivals for a variety of reasons. They are deprived of this joy and happiness. Although children’s representatives from different parts of Bangladesh participated in the festival, it can be said that the described image revolves around the children of the capital. But despite this, the initiative and organization of the Chinese Film Society in the development of children’s films is very positive. At one time, only the Children’s Film Society used to organize children’s film festivals in Bangladesh.
At present we can see that Bangladesh Shilpakala Academy and Bangladesh Shishu Academy have organized film screenings for children in different parts of the country in a festive atmosphere. This is a very promising thing. Though the organization of Chindren Film Society is limited to Dhaka and only a few divisional cities of the country, Bangladesh Shilpakala Academy is going to hold a film festival in 64 district Shilpakala Academies of the country simultaneously. Since Shilpakala Academy has branch offices in every upazila of the country, so in the near future this activity will spread to the upazila level as well.
It is easy to expect that he will gain. It must be done. This is our strong demand. According to Bangladesh Shilpakala Academy, the activities of Bangladesh Shishu Academy are also going on in every district. Bangladesh Shishu Academy can also take such initiative at the district level. The film medium has become a social institution today due to its unique features, qualities and effectiveness. Just as the reflection of the various activities of the society affects the film, the various activities of the film also affect the society.
Since its inception in 1895, the film medium has been in a state of flux with society. Films of various forms and genres have glorified the long history of the advancement of world cinema by meeting the needs of people from different walks of life. The continuous trend of making films of different forms – genres or races – species (mahatbas) is a constant proof of this. At the same time, the film continues to prove that it is a powerful social organization by appealing to different classes of people. But the consumer considers that in any society the numerical aspect of the child is higher than the number of all other class consumers.
This global reality is also acknowledged in the context of Bangladesh. It is also acknowledged and visible that the rate of production of children’s films is not satisfactory as compared to other (films of all classes except children’s films) class-genre films. The same picture of despair is observed in the case of Bangladesh. Frustration about making children’s films in Bangladesh is also multidimensional. There is a positive trend of making children’s films in Europe, America or developed countries. Japan and South Korea have also been added to the list.
The continuity of the oil can be seen in the film-making activities of the countries concerned by showing the conventional words, stories, myths, fairy tales and legends of the countries concerned with the diverse application of technology to help the children. Children’s films based on creative and science fiction can also be seen. In addition, the production of animated films based on narrated stories has also gained popularity in those countries. Not only that – that wave of popularity has reached Bangladesh.
The children of Bangladesh have also welcomed those films or animation films. But we do not know that there is a precedent of making such films in Bangladesh. Again, the number of children’s films made in our country as a whole is very inadequate. Moreover, children are far away from the film due to the dilapidated state of the display system. Is forced to stay in one position. On the other hand, the government has provided various benefits to the producers for making children’s films and even though there are announcements of tax exemption, the producers are not very interested in it.
In that case, we have to accept with a heavy heart that there is a dearth of thoughtful and talented children’s filmmakers in our country, and there is also their reluctance to make children’s films. So there is no reason to think that there is a severe market crisis for children’s films in our country. Despite having an immense number of consumers, the meaning of having such an acute market crisis for any product is also mysterious. This mysterious crisis may or may not be overcome by formulating a healthy film policy. We have seen that our youth and even adults do not show much interest in Bengali films, especially in Bangladeshi films.
On the contrary, they have a kind of indifferent and arrogant attitude towards Bangladeshi films. We do not think that their indifferent and arrogant attitude is completely unreasonable. One can see from their indifference and arrogance that Bangladeshi films have not become everyone’s films till date. Today, in the minds of those who are older or especially in the childhood of the young community, Bengali films, especially in the corners of Bangladeshi films, have not been able to quench even the slightest hunger for an ideological place. Proof of
The number of films in this country is about four. Since its inception in 1956, it has been possible to achieve this quantitative position in the number of films produced every year. This achievement is part of a long history. If we want to know the names of more than four Bangladeshi films including Dham, anyone can know where the time is. But sadly, not even 1% of these films have ever been made with children’s entertainment or childishness in mind. This can also be said emphatically.
The children of the past are today the youth – crossing the boundaries of youth and standing in the line of adulthood. They are the mango people of this country. But they also did not get a taste of their childhood – adolescent films in adolescence – nor did they get a taste of children’s films. So how can a child who grew up without a film be a film lover in his youth, how can he be sensitive about film in his adulthood? Today is the time to think deeply about such questions. It’s time to dump her and move on. We have to be determined with this in mind. We have to sit still and think about the future of today’s children – about youth, about their future maturity.
We have to think that we want to build our future generation as a film sensor. ‘And if this desire of ours is universal, then there is no substitute for the gift of child-friendly films in front of today’s children. The children of our country have to give them useful and enjoyable films. They have to be given a film that will make them real Bengalis and patriots in the future. At the same time they will become the possessors of scientific thinking. With a sensible mindset of a combination of technology and culture, children will go beyond their childhood and adolescence into adolescence.
And in old age, in the realm of steadfast wisdom, this geography will spread the lofty thoughts and great philosophical barriers of Bengal. Their thoughts will spread all over Bangladesh – in all creation. Sadly, today, in many ways, we deprive our children of their childhood right after birth. We are also deprived of the opportunity to grow up in the company of children. We have not been able to provide improved food and nutrition for our children, nor have we been able to provide improved tastes and education.
They have been deprived of advanced applications for years. Therefore, the fault of eternity is still in the process of forming a nation. And with that flaw, the full development of a nation flows in parallel with the Oz question. Whether that development is possible at all is a big question. We throw our children into a dependent cultural circle right after birth. Film of foreign words, stories, myths or fables is presented to them through television. The all-time companion television medium also appears to our children with the most compelling embodiment of technology with the most compassionate fiction or story of absolute innocence with an aggressive ‘bag’ of antiquity.
Before the children understand anything, the seeds of parasitic and foreign culture enter their minds. These seeds one day turn into trees. The wind is no longer felt in the shadow of this Bengal tree. As a result, to him, the thousand-year-old culture of abhaman Bengal seems to be as extinct as this Bengali nationalism. Therefore, the eternal culture of Bengal is ‘old-fashioned’ to them. They are indifferent and arrogant towards Bengali films and Bangladeshi films.
Producer Mershedul Islam is making films for the children of this country at the same time as he is also making films for the children. So far, Dipu Number Two (1997), Sharat ’71 (2000), Distance (2004), Doll’s Marriage (2010), My Friend Rashed (2011) have created interest in Shishu-Kisha as his children’s films. Children are also responding to the film Ankhi and His Friends (2018) which was released on the 22nd of this month.
Through the formation of the ‘Children’s Film Society’, he is also making children interested in filmmaking, especially film watching, critique and production. He has also been organizing the International Children’s Film Festival every year for almost a century under the auspices of Chiscreen Film Society. Initially, the festival was limited to the capital Dhaka, but in recent times, the festival activities of the ‘Children’s Film Society’ are gaining momentum in various major cities of the country.
Every year in January, the International Children’s Film Festival is celebrated with the slogan ‘Fame is the dream of the future’. More than 200 children’s films from 54 countries have been screened at eleven venues in Dhaka, Rajshahi, Rangpur and Chittagong. In each exhibition, the children have the opportunity to enjoy the film with their parents. One of the attractions of this festival was the film competition made by the children of our country. Although 70 films were submitted in this competition, 21 got the opportunity to be screened at the festival. Among them 5 films were awarded.
It is worth mentioning that the children were also the members of the judge and jury in this competition. Disadvantaged children were also invited to the festival. We hope that the future generation of filmmakers will be born out of a new generation of children. The people of this country will become curious instead of arrogant about the films made by them. Today’s children of our country will transcend from childhood to adolescence and from adolescence to adulthood in the balance of Bengali life and contemplative films by glorifying the traditional philosophy and expression of Bengali with Bengali thinking. Hopefully, this adventure will start with a children’s film.

Ditya Bhande was the title winner of the kids dance reality television show Super Dancer season 1.She was born on 29 November 2006 in India. She made her acting debut in the musical Tamil film Lakshmi. This film was written and directed by A. L. Vijay, starring Prabhu Deva and Aishwariya Rajesh. She acted as a school girl who loves dance. Group member of i am hip hop kids crew Dance India Dance season 7. Ditya is all of 11, and she’s already a National dance competition winner and played the lead in a film whose language she cannot speak. She’s starred alongside one of the best dancers of the country, as a bonus. She doesn’t quite get the magnitude of what she’s done. It’s all because of Prabhu dheva, she says. “A few years back, Prabhu sir came as a celebrity judge to my reality program, Super Dancer,” she says. “That’s why he recommended my name when Vijay sir came up with a dance script featuring a girl.”
Ditya, who began dancing at the age of three, hasn’t compromised on academics in pursuing her passion. “School gets over around noon and I practise till 5 pm. After that, I play with friends and spend sometime studying. I score good marks in all my exams despite my tight schedule.” She also reveals that she has plans to start a dance class for children her age soon.
She says she would have accepted the offer even if Lakshmi wasn’t a dance film. “Just the opportunity of acting with Prabhu sir is more than enough. There’s no way I was going to miss that.” Naturally, she found dancing to be far easier than acting. “The talkie portions were initially tough for me because of the language, but Vijay sir and his team were encouraging. They wrote all the Tamil dialogues for me in English and made sure I understood the meaning of every word,” she says.
She goes on to talk about her relationship with the filmmaker. “Vijay sir is the sweetest person I’ve ever met in my life. He treats me like his own daughter. He took me out for dinners whenever we got free time during the shoot and threw a grand party on my birthday. Prabhu sir, on the other hand, is very silent and focussed when it comes to acting,” she says, and excitedly shares that she learnt a lot of new footwork from Prabhudheva.
Ditya Bhande
Having faced an audience from the age of seven, Ditya says she never experienced stage-fear. “Though acting is an entirely different game, I have been facing the camera from a very young age and that helped me a lot while shooting for Lakshmi. Ironically, the character I play in the film experiences stage-fear during a particular sequence and for the first time in life, I had to act like I was afraid of the audience.”
The 11-year-old actor says she was full of energy throughout the shoot and never once got exhausted. “We shot from 6 am to 6 pm on most of the days. But I hardly felt tired. Vijay sir named me Red Bull because of my high energy level,” she says with a laugh.
This trained hip-hop dancer is seen performing a high-energy kuthu dance in the trailer. “I started my career with freestyle dancing, so it is easy for me to adapt to any style as long as I practice enough under a good teacher,” she says.
Ditya also reveals that Aishwarya Rajesh (whom she refers to as Aishwarya am
Ditya Bhande
ma), who plays her mother in the film, doesn’t have a dance sequence in the film as her character hates dance.
Asked whether she believes it will be hard to deal with all the admiration that is coming her way, she says, “No, not at all. I actually feel very happy when people request a selfie or appreciate my work. People have started to recognize me after Lakshmi’s promotions. I once went to pick Vijay sir up from Chennai airport at 1 am, and even during those wee hours, a fan recognized me and took a picture with me.”
Questioned whether she wants to become an actor or a choreographer, she immediately replies, “Both! Right now, I love dancing and acting equally. When I become an adult, I want to take up both as a profession like Prabhu dheva sir.”
The Question is How Long Does It take to Develop a Vaccine?In the last 50 years, the world has seen quite a few deadly epidemics. It includes Zika virus, Chicken pox, Hepatitis B, Ebola, Aids, Sars virus, Mers virus, and Covid-19, the deadly pandemic that the world is now dealing with. If we take a close look at the statistics of last 50 years, we get to know about when these viruses were first identified and how long it took for their vaccines to be developed.
Effect of Zika
Zika virus :
First identified in Uganda in 1947 in monkeys, Zika was later identified in humans in 1952. The first large outbreak of disease caused by Zika infection was reported from the Island of Yap in 2007. There are currently several countries experiencing Zika virus outbreaks and researchers are still working to come up with its vaccine.
Effect of Chicken Pox
Chicken Pox:
First identified in 1953, chickenpox (also called varicella) still exists, both in the United States and all over the world. The chickenpox vaccine was introduced in 1995 in the United States. Prior to that time, about 4 million people (mostly children) got the infection each year, more than 10,000 people were hospitalized.
Effect of HB
Hepatitis B:
The hepatitis B virus was discovered in 1965 by Dr. Baruch Blumberg, who won the Nobel Prize for his discovery. Although the vaccine for this virus was developed four years after its discovery, the FDA approved a more sophisticated plasma-derived hepatitis B vaccine for human use in 1981.
Ebola
Ebola:
The Ebola virus was firstidentified in 1976 by a team of researchers that included Belgian microbiologist. According to the World Health Organization, At least 11,079 people have died from an outbreak of Ebola in West Africa. The vaccine for this virus was developed in December, 2019.
AIDS:
First identified in 1981, AIDS still remains one of the most devastating worldwide public health problems in recent history. In 2018 an estimated 37.9 million people were living with AIDS. Unfortunately, a vaccine to prevent AIDS has not been developed yet. However, researchers worldwide are working together to come up with one.
Sars Virus
SARS virus:
Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) was first discovered in Asia in February 2003. SARS infected more than 8,000 people and killed 774 in 2003. Although a SARS vaccine was developed, it was never sold since public health measures got the disease under control before it was ready.
Mers Virus
MERS virus:
Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) was first identified in Saudi Arabia in 2012. Even after eight years of its discovery, its vaccine is yet to be developed.
Covid-19
COVID-19:
This highly contagious virus, which was first identified in December 2019, in Wuhan, China, has spread to nearly every country in the world. Having claimed 1,14,254 deaths around the world already, it has caused countries to be under complete lockdown and people to be in quarantine all over the world for an indefinite period of time. Around the globe, researchers are working day and night to develop a vaccine to prevent the Novel Coronavirus.
The time period for the development of a vaccine ranges from eight to twenty years. There are many viruses against which, vaccines have not been created, despite decades of research. On top of that, even if a vaccine makes it through all the rounds of testing, it is unlikely that drugmakers can manufacture enough vaccine to protect everyone who might be exposed to the virus. Therefore, instead of running after a vaccine, we should stay home and focus on our work.

When it comes to shooting high-octane stunts, 10-year-old Vishesh Bansal, who plays Karn in Siddharth Kumar Tewary’s ‘Suryaputra Karn‘, can give senior actors a run for their money. The child artiste has performed some daring stunts in the biting-cold valleys of Kashmir, refusing to use a body double. There were times, when he would hang for hours on a harness for cliff-jumping scenes. He says, “I used a harness only for big leaps as I am too young for that. Another interesting stunt I performed was riding two horses at a time, which unfortunately didn’t make the cut. Shooting amidst snow-capped mountains wasn’t easy, as it would get foggy at around 3 pm. We would be forced to halt the shoot till the mist cleared. I even had a scene where I had to save my reel brother and his whole body-weight was on me.”
Vishesh learnt archery, horse riding and snow boarding for the show. Meanwhile, in the show the viewers recently saw how Karn is struggling to save his mother who is shot with an arrow.
The Question is Why Raising Mental Health Awareness is a Must.Do you know how many mental disorders there are? Can you make a quick guess? I presume you cannot. Because the term ‘mental health’ is devalued all over the world. There are over 200 mental illnesses that humans suffer from, among which, depression and anxiety are the most common ones.
Research says that teenagers are more prone to suffering from mental disorders than people from any other age group. 21.4% of teenagers experience severe mental illness at some point during their teen years. Then why do we not take mental health seriously?
On average, one person dies from suicide every 40 seconds somewhere in the world. Therefore, it is high time we started raising mental health awareness among people in our country. We must let our teenagers know that if they ever feel mentally or emotionally unwell, there are always professionals they can seek help from.
Kaan Pete Roi (KPR), Bangladesh’s first emotional support helpline is doing a great job in raising mental health awareness all over the country. However, we need many more of these helplines. We need to have more students studying in the department of Psychology. We need to have more doctors specializing in Psychiatry. Because whether or not we like to admit it, mental health is even more important than physical health, as unlike the latter, its symptoms are noticeable to the sufferers only.

Even though she was mistaken for a child, she’s not even that young. She was a young lady. No one will think of her as a street seller on the first glance. Because she was wearing a blue shirt with jeans and converse on her legs. She was wearing headphones.
What more do you need! This is her elite personality! On approaching nearer, it was seen that she had a bag on her back and a basket hung up from her neck from which she was selling nuts in little packets. But the buyers were hesitant to think of her as a ‘seller’. Everyone is surprised! When i went near and asked her questions, she informed her name was Tahmina Rahman. 23 years old.

After that even though her whole family wanted to settle in Malaysia, she didn’t want to go. She wants to do something in her own country. She had a wish to make people accept any kind of clothes people wear since her birth. But she was not getting any confidence at first. But later she was inspired by a handsome seller Tajul Islam Likhon’s ‘dream van’.
Even though she was a girl from a aristocratic family, she got inspired by Likhon and started selling nuts in the city’s ‘rajpoth’. Now smart Kotha is selling nuts in different places of Dhanmondi. She buys nuts from saturia in the price of 80 tk to 90 tk per kg. She takes them home and sorts them out. Then she puts them in aesthetic looking black packets and sells them to buyers.
Doing this, in a few hours she earns 200 to 250 taka and goes home. She wants to prove the world that no work is less important so that people respect every work no matter what it is. She also informed that she used to work in a reknowned call centre. She left that job and started selling nuts. She loves independent life. Every work is mighty. Work is always work. She said she did not find any difference in working in a travel agency and selling nuts.
These type of thinking changes people’s minds. That’s why she thinks people should work hard in every jobs instead of being sad. She also said, some people aim to be doctors or engineers. But not everyone’s dream come true. They get frustrated. They choose the bad path by becoming thieves and robbers. But those who are happy with any kind of jobs are successful. She didn’t like the job at travel agency. She didn’t like to be time bound. But she’s loving the job of selling nuts as it has some independence. After finishing her classes at lalmatia women’s college, she goes home and she sells nuts when her friends hang out.
I asked her whether she’s having any difficulty selling nuts. In reply, she said most people don’t want to believe she’s a nut seller. Some people end up asking whether she is here to ask for help for someone. Then she tells them that she is here to help herself and she wants to do something. She also said that it doesn’t matter how much she earns selling nuts. She wants to tell every boys and girls that they should do something for the country instead of spending time lazily at home!
