I wish to be a minister once

The realm of politics involves intricate calculations. This complex calculation of politics turned convoluted when the maharaja of the state of 'Sukhinagar' announced to appoint of his minister for dejection. In his declaration, the King expressed his desire to appoint such a person as the dejection minister who in a real sense has the experience of enduring pain and can contain it at the bottom of his heart. Following the announcement, several individuals claimed to be in a somber mood and made a long queue outside the palace with the desire to assume this new ministerial post. However, during the interviews, the maharaja observed that none of the candidates neither went through intense pain nor possessed any significant experience of somberness. Consequently, the appointment of a minister for the ministry of dejection became Maharaja's new-found preoccupation.

Ukraine war: Behind the scene and Trump's triumph

As soon as the contentious meeting ended, White House staff bluntly told President Zelensky, "Mr. President, you should leave now." There was no dinner! Without any formalities, Zelensky quickly left the White House and headed for Europe. Upon arrival, he immediately met with the British Prime Minister, and Britain extended him an overwhelmingly warm welcome. King Charles III received him at the Sandringham House salon in Norfolk and held discussions with him for nearly an hour. Through this warmth, Britain effectively sent a message to the United States that not only the British government but also the King himself fully supports Zelenskyy and Ukraine.

Let individualism flourish through our culture and tradition

The customs, traditions, beliefs, rituals, art, literature, food habits, clothing, and languages of people throughout the generations - in short, everything that has been underway for hundreds of thousands of years of a country and a nation is part of its heritage. Among all these, some special unique features carry the unique identity of the people of a country and nation - they are part of the special heritage. No nation wants to destroy these traditions. Otherwise, the identity of a nation is erased. We also have some such traditions - our Baul songs, Pohela Boishakh, winter pithas, shital pati, rickshaws, etc. Some of our traditions have been recognized as world heritage by the United Nations Cultural Organization UNESCO - Sompur Bihar, Sundarbans, Shital Pati in Sylhet, Baul songs, the Bagherhat shat gumbos masjid, Jamdani, Dhaka's rickshaws and rickshaw paintings, Iftar, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman's March 7 speech.

Joy of childhood Eid still makes me nostalgic

Of the two universal festivals of joy for Muslims, Eid-ul-Fitr claims superiority in any consideration. Eid-ul-Fitr brings the joy of breaking the fast after a month of strict fasting. Every devout Muslim man and woman eagerly waits for Eid-ul-Fitr. Islam is founded on five essential fundamental pillars. These are kalima, prayer, fasting, hajj and zakat. Among these, hajj depends on physical and financial capacity and zakat depends on financial capacity. The other three pillars are related to the physical capacity of the devotee. The literal meaning of the word 'Eid' is joy. Fasting was observed even before it became obligatory in Islam. However, it was not so blessed. Eid is the joy of breaking the fast after a month of strict fasting by the Muslim community.

Goal setting and positive mindset

The increasing tendency to stir emotions regarding sports, athletes, and organizers is alarming. This is detrimental to the sports arena. Division, conflicts, and controversies at various levels weaken unity in sports. A diverse yet unified sporting community is not only aesthetically pleasing but also essential. Rushing into sports-related initiatives and decisions without understanding them fosters a negative mindset. Anticipating incidents that may hinder progress towards goals and becoming overly concerned about them is the definition of anxiety.
