Ekti shundor nidorshon

Bangladesh Chhatra League expelled the leader of Dhaka University's Jagannath Hall unit. Reason was anti-organisational activities. After Awami league's landslide victory, this leader, started demanding money from students, threatened many and asked toll from a contractor engaged in construction work. Indeed, this is a good gesture. Shadhu Shadhu.

Hanging-up on Barack Obama

Would you ever consider hanging-up on President Barack Obama or a president elect of your own country? Well, I guess not. Some would, though. Recently, Republican congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen got a call from President-elect Barack Obama, didn't believe it was him, and hung up on him, twice. President-elect Barack Obama called the congresswoman on Wednesday, 03 December; she assumed it was a crank call and hung-up. She thought it was one of the radio stations in South Florida playing a prank. Moments later, Obama tried again, this time through his soon-to-be chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel. "Ileana, I cannot believe you hung up on the President-Elect," Emanuel said. And guess what; she hung up on Emanuel saying she "didn't believe the call was legitimate." A short time later, she received an urgent call from Rep. Howard Berman, the chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee, who informed her that she indeed hung up on Obama. This time, she was convinced. Ob...

News presentation Bangladeshi style and Barack Obama

So many channels, it’s tough to stick to one. MY PROBLEM. I was watching news at evening. Just when I switched to Channel 1, I saw still clips of Britney Spears for like five seconds. To my amazement, the news presenter said “Barack Obama”………and that was it; he went on with the next news. It took me 15 seconds to think of a possible connection between Barack Obama and Britney Spears. MY EMPTY BRAIN. Bill Clinton alike controversy! Oh God! MY PROBLEM. I tried to figure out the drama at BBC and CNN, no luck. MY BAD LUCK. Searched Google and Yahoo and WA LA – got it! In 2008, people searched Britney Spears more than Obama at Yahoo. BRITNEY’S GOOD LUCK. Why the channel did not show Obama’s pics when saying his name! THEIR PROBLEM. Lack of professionalism I assume. THEIR BAD LUCK. Just when I am writing this post, RTV is giving the nation a breaking news : Senator McCain arrived in Dhaka. Why is this a breaking news? OUR BAD LUCK. When will they ever learn? NEVER.

Why did the chickens ( read cricketers) cross the road and joined ICL?

Congratulations to the players who joined ICL . For their timely actions, first time in the history of the game, ‘ Bangladesh ’ managed to be in Cricinfo’s top headlines for three consecutive days. Cricinfo does not even cover Bangladesh ’s matches in its headlines, unless they win against big teams. So three consecutive days is a big deal. Thanks guys, you made us proud. The fuzz started three days back and for obvious reasons, it is emerging as the biggest shock in Bangladeshi cricket history. Several top Bangladeshi cricketers including valuable Aftab Ahmed and Shariar Nafiz have joined ICL, which is yet to be recognized by any of the cricket boards around the world. This means, these players will not participate in any matches under Bangladesh national team in future. Is this information too hard to digest? Should not be. First thing first, no one plays cricket just for pleasure; money is important, just like in any other professions. And just like any other prof...
