Respect young people
Yesterday, one of my Bengali literature teachers said something that left a mark in my heart, and I couldn’t agree more. He said that adults choose the safe side, when young people want the justice. I will add some more to his statement. Adults don’t want to take risks, but young people aren’t afraid to take risks and they want to experiment. That's why young people find ways in times when adults don’t. Young people lack maturity and sometimes judgement. Adults must guide them and teach them. They need to correct their mistakes. Young people need their supervision. But, adults try to control...
Bihari: A long lived prejudice turning into xenophobia
अबे तू बिहारी है क्या? This is the story of a East Indian state with a great cultural and political heritage, presently struggling for its lost identity due to the lack of socio-economic and infrastructural development as compared to other Indian states since independence. Yes ladies and gentlemen presenting before you a problem less discussed but constantly experienced by us. The prejudice of being a BIHARI. The human brain is the most advanced and complex thing in this universe. Dopamine is a hormone which regulates the brains functions, makes it react over a particular stimuli...

Reimagine a better world: "kind is kind, not an option"
When I was 17, I made a video telling my hopes for this world. I want to see and feel more kindness and respect from people towards other people as well as to all creatures on this earth. I want more people who are aware of the important things that must be our particular concern and must be discussed together in order to achieve the world we aspire to. However, now I am 21 years old. For about 3 years from the video I made, I went through various valuable events and lessons in life. In addition, I practice critical thinking and thinking about the possibilities and impossibility that occurs in...

Let's celebrate International Mother Language Day
Today is International Mother Language Day, one of my favourite days to celebrate. Though now it’s an international day, the origin of celebrating the day is our country – Bangladesh. As a Bangladeshi, I have grown up reading the bloody history of the 21st February, 1952. At a young age those historical events didn’t touch my heart. History is something I don’t really like, and as I say to myself, everything becomes a bad thing when it gets into academic textbooks. So, the history didn’t really reach my heart. One day I was given a book to read. It was a historical novel. At first I didn’t...
The country side
Waking up from the shining sun to the sounds of the rooster's cock-a-doodle-do. When you open the windows and you can feel the fresh breeze of air hits you. Then you go work in the fields in the hot sun sweat dripping.When you finish you will feel accomplished. As an award you take a nice hot shower feeling refreshed and get ready to do it all over again.
Reparations for the emancipated kings and queens
Generations of races, That went through lines of changes, to bring riches to the blameless. The people call it reparation, but they get paid for suffering, don’t they know our pain? Why doesn’t my race get paid? We barely even get paid the same. The folks who set the bar, Left us to build it. This country still isn't stable, Because we’re still building. African Americans, so-called “Blacks”, in the line of payment, we’re always last. Does the government even react that fast? Considering some obvious and certain facts, history’s important events have led us on this track. The Japanese...
A Woman is More Than Just a Glitter
A woman is more than just a glitter Women are regarded as "weak" and "fragile" in our society, they are frequently stigmatized as being incapable of doing anything other than cooking, laundry, and other household chores. As a result, no one believed that someone as frail as them could effect change, lead a nation, keep up with men, or even stand alongside them. Women's empowerment can be defined as promoting women's self-esteem, ability to make their own decisions, and right to influence social change for themselves and others. Advocating for women's empowerment is often misconstrued as...
Connection is stable!
For the past few months, I have been able to meet new people over the online meetings from different countries. Would it be possible without internet, especially during pandemic? Who knows. Is it exciting? Definitely, yes. The conversations that are not influenced by distance. The motivations that are the language everyone understands... The inspirations that are getting right into the hearts... You understand my point, right? Stay connected to each other and united by great ideas. And I know you have got a lot of them.

How water can transform the community
The first thing we think about after reading the word "water" is probably a refreshment or something that is colorless. For many people, water is just something basic that we all have access to. Many of you may know that there are a lot of countries which don't have any kind of water supplies. For example, let's take the Republic of Uganda.
What is the difference between an XX chromosome and an XY? Nothing!
"More than 300 women were killed in 2021 in Turkey" This is the kind of news that I see everywhere: from Twitter to Instagram and other social media platforms. But is it really fair to kill women for no reason? Absolutely not! Is it worth killing young women and taking their dreams from their hands? Absolutely not! But why are we doing so? Is it because women are seen as inferior to men? But who did impose this mentality that men have more privileges than women do? Do you think about what is the role of a woman in society? Maybe to take care of her children, to cook, and to be a good housewife...
