Bastobota without reality chara

End of 2005; a drastic year comes to an end.
2005 has been rather a declarative year as honorable government finally realized that Islamic militants exist in Bangladesh. JMB declared their war against several institutions; AL declared their alliance for next step over to the Power seat, Jamaite Islami declared their unity with BNP will remain no matter what; Ershad declared he will join the alliance which gives the guarantee (no warranty by the way) to keep him as the President, I declared to have my own blog, Falu decleared to have more TV channels, ………..and the list goes on and on and on.

The year started with the assassination of former finance minister Sham AMS Kibria, and ended with JMB’s fear on our future for ever. As more information is coming up on Indian involvement with JMB’s acts, Bombs became less activated in exploded manner I guess. India sure will play a roll in 2006 in Bangladeshi politics and our beloved AL leader Hasina Apa will surely practice more visits to India.

 

3 important lessons I learnt in 2005:
All people smile in the same language (JMB, JI, BNP, AL etc.).

You can't change the past, but you can ruin the present by worrying over the future (and seat back to relax if you already realized we do not have any future).

The choice you make today will usually affect tomorrow.

 

Beginning of 2006; a lot needs to be changed socially and politically.
There came a DORBESH in our village last year. He looked like a saint but was quite modern in his approach. He used to sit with his followers in the evening and talked philosophy. During daytime, villagers came with their problems. He never claimed he could solve each and every problem; rather he gave directions and advices. Within a span of 6 months villagers could feel the change in them. A positive change. People from other villages started to came. His advises were proven quite accurate and predictions were right on target. Even the politicians came to his place for his ASHIRBAD which he never refused. He preached all in the light of humanity and carried out his days by giving answers to the questions.

Then the day came when a humble villager said “Baba, give me a TABIZ so that I can control my ill tempered wife”. DORBESH stood up and said, “Just this; I do not have any solution for this one. I left my GHOR BARI PORIBAR 24 years ago failing to control my ill tempered wife!”

 

All the politicians, social workers, Intellectuals seem to know everything except controlling few ill tempered elements of our daily life. Time goes on………………….

I wish everybody a happy and prosperous new year. Take care of yourselves.
