I'm really enjoying life nowadays. It is true that the stupid footache sometimes gets on my nerves. But I guess I can enjoy life now, cause I'm trying to convert pain into strength. Got a 10 on 10 in statistics quiz today. The only thing I ask for from Allah Allmighty, is strength. No matter how much pain I get, I must not break down, Met an old friend in university today. Also met another Bengali here in WDC. She writes well, check her outmellow pearl . I love giving gifts. And I'm giving gifts to everyone these days. My mid terms are going on. Already gave 2 exams. Pray for me |
We are celebrating our biggest religious festival, Eid-ul-Fitr, today. After a long month of fasting dawn to dusk, (I'm not allowed to fast as I have dehydration, and have to take medicines at times). The month of Ramadan(fasting month) have a lot of religious significance. Prayers are easily granted in that month, and Muslims automatically keep themselves away from evil in that month. Eid means happiness. It brings a lot of joy for us. Well, I like wearing new dresses and ornaments for eid. Right now, I'm wearing a pink shalwar- kameez (traditional dress with trousers). A pink beaded necklace, with matching bracelet, and some bangles(I love glass bangles) in one hand. I've also decorated my left palm with mehedi(henna). I'm eating a lot today. My mom prepared so many mouth watering dishes, someone come share my food. I've built a new c-note shop here today, for the simply positive group. Check it out:
kiyasama gave me such a lovely blog banner. Isn't it sweet? I've always loved her work, and pay frequent visits to her port. It's so hot, I'm melting. Gotta go have some vanilla ice cream now. Don't have to study today. But I have my mid term exams from the 4th of next month. Everyone pray for me. And Eid Mubarak(Happy Eid) to you all. |
I had been trying to create a simple program (get two integers from the user, add them and get their average) in Visual Studio C++. Finally, after about 2 hours, success knocked at my door. Yahoo! I've got four interesting subjects in my course curriculum this semester: Probability and statistics Business English Art and Aesthetics And Introduction to Computer Science - which is why I have to sit in front of the computer for hours, just to practice c++. I love to learn languages. I can write and speak Bangla and English, I can understand and speak Hindi too . But computer languages can be so sensitive! Just one missing semicolon in a program, can create a lot of errors. Still, learning something new is good. I like it. Our instructor is also very nice. Math - is always a phobia for me. I just started learning statistics, enjoy it. English is my all time favorite. So is my mother tongue, Bangla. I enjoy every moment of English class learning how to communicate, as our course is all about Business communication. Art is my passion. I can spend hours painting pictures, so I just can't figure out how time passes away in art class. We also have other things beside painting here. We'll go on an excursion soon, perhaps I'll write in my blog about it. Have painted about 4 different poses of Buddha. According to our art instructor, the first Bengali paintings focused on Buddha, so I have to learn that too. Having lots of fun lately. I've reopened my raffle:

I love my university! I love extra curricular activities! I love studies and teachers. Have achieved a gpa of 3.25 on 4 in my first semester. Hope to achieve more this time! |
I was busy giving admission tests for universities. Had lots of fun, met a few new people, saw some of my old known people too. The test on the 28th was not as good as it was supposed to be. I had set my heart on that test, worked a lot for it. Had hit a sixer in the English sections, but could not do that well in the General Knowledge section. The gk questions were pretty tough. So maybe, I will not get into the institution I've always dreamt of. Well, anyway, it's far from my home, and a risky place too. On the other hand, the other test I took on the 29th was much better.We were asked to write a little paragraph on pollution, correct 5 little incorrect sentences, 10 common general knowledge questions, one translarion. We were also told to design a dress for men or women (as it is a fashion designing institute), and draw a bicycle. Well, I'm not so good at drawing bicycles, the others were good. So, can just keep my fingers crossed. Footache is driving me nuts again, WHY ME????? |
Unlike my other friends, I could not get admission to an university yet. I don't mind it that much cause it is better late than never. My A level result is not so bad, but I still have to search for a good university. I always like my visits here. Am reading a beautiful book, Lioness, by Nell Brien. I also like writing. Maybe I'll send something to the newspaper soon. I'll write a poem for here too. |
going to the mall, looking after kids, studying...and obviously, keeping in touch with friends. |
Despite my regular physical battles,I'm enjoying life in my own way. I'm discovering new works for myself everywhere. Who said being at home isn't fun? Yes, I know many girls of my age spend most of their time outside home for studies and stuff. It's not that I don't want to do the same, but I know my limits very well. Maybe I'm an anomaly. Sometimes, some of my own attitudes seem very bizarre to me. But as soon as I notice any bad change in me, I try to rectify myself. I'm not an angel, but it's always good to be positive about everything. |
We celebrated one of our biggest religious festivals, Eid ul Fitr on the 2nd of october. For me, it usually means distributing love, recieving and giving blessings(I'm an aunt now, gotta bless people!). Eid also means loads of food, , new clothes, lots of drama, telefilm and music on TV. It also means playing my keyboard more than usual. I could visit some of my elderly relatives that day. Moreover, I could be with one of my four best friends on that day. I live very far away from my friends, and have some personal problems too. Can't visit my friends often even if I want to. So, my only way of communicating with friends, is telephone and net. I have some duties towards my family and friends, which I never want to ignore. My friend's mom was sick, and I like her whole family, so I wanted to spend some time with them. My wish is fulfilled and I'm really happy about it. |
Mahmud passed away, dropping from a bamboo bridge into a fierce river. He couldn't swim. Now I just have his memories with me. |
Miss you, bro, but surely know within hearts, our bindings grow! Those of you who've read my poem know of these two lines. I'll tell you the story behind it today."Worlds apart" . It was the 30th of september, 1993. Me, my brother Mahmud, and my parents went to spend a vacation at our village home that september. We really had a grand time. My brother, who was 17 back then, and I was 9. He was my best friend. At that time he was the only one who used to spend a major part of his day with me, the others were busy with studies and other stuff usually. My brother was supposed to go to the USA, his flight was on the 5th of october. So, my mom just wanted to make him familiar with urban life, but he did not want to go to the village. "What if I die, Ma?" he used to say. But Mom just laughed his words off. ...rest later. |
Too hot here, I'm boiling. Yesterday, my friend came with two university admission books for me, so I really need to study a lot now. My August secret pal gave me a lot of surprises recently. Cnotes, reviews, gps...thanks a lot SP. Those of you who don't know, I'm a Bengali living in Bangladesh, and English is my passion. I have studied in English medium schools, and that's how my English improved day by day. I also like reading English Classics, and Newspapers too. Some of my writing got published in local English Newspapers. Hope more will get published soon. {c} ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** |
Hi all of you, It's been a long time since I last wrote in my blog. I'm seriously dead, the footache is killing me. And my foot's skin is getting cracked too. I can hardly walk with the cracks, they just make me dead. But I know one thing for sure, whenever I suffer a lot, there's a reward coming my way, and this pain is just a little patience test, I can't loose patience at all. A reward may be a small gift, a call from my friends, etc. I had recieved messages from all of my friends on friendship day. I had sent c notes to many of my friends here. I have a friend whom I teach English, and today was her first class with me. A friend's company is also a reward, isn't it? HAPPY FRIENDSHIP DAY. {c} ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** |
Well, after exams I'm really bored, as theres nothing much to do at home. |
Today we are celebrating Eid-Ul-Azha, one of our biggest religious festivals. We sacrificed animals in the name of Allah today. On this day, one of our prophets, got a message from Allah: "Sacrifice something for me." So, our prophet sacrificed something which did not please Allah much. Then again, the prophet sacrificed something else. Still, Allah was not satisfied. The prophet got another message: "Sacrifice your most favorite thing for me." The prophet's most favorite person was his son. When our prophet prepared to sacrifice his son, he couldn't cut with the knife. Allah had ordered the knife not to cut even a single hair of the prophet's son. Angry, our prophet threw the knife away. Just then, an angel arrived to the prophet with an animal. "O prophet, please sacrifice this instead of your son." From then on, every year, we sacrifice animals in the name of Allah on Eid ul Azha. We distibute the meat in a special way. Dividing the meat in 3 equal parts, we give one to the poor, one to relatives, and keep one for ourselves. This festival is of great significance to us. We had sacrificed 2 red cows this year. Eid Mubarak to all the Muslims, and Merry Christmas to all the Christians! |
I'm down with a serious flu, and my niece is weeping since morning, cause I can't play with her.. My nephew went to school without breakfast, cause I couldn't wake up early to feed him. Got up at 7:30 AM today, it's 10:30 AM now. Didn't study at all. Just watched a movie yesterday night instead of going to my books. I was so euphoric just two days back, and now.... maybe I don't have the right to be happy. Perhaps I won't go to my tutor either. Which means, I won't be able to study, won't play with my tutor's kid, won't see my friends. DAMN IT! WHY ME? Missed my friend Saba's birthday party on the 27th, because my car was occupied. They had a lot of fun, they went to malls, book shops, talked, had fun... and I was at home doing my household chores. Thanks to WDC, it makes me feel that despite being at home, I'm with my friends! ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** |
Finally, I could spend a day just as I wished. Yesterday, I finished a major part of my accounting syllabus. My teacher told that the admission part of partnership account will take one month to finish, but I finished it yesterday...A month long syllabus done in just A DAY! I still can't believe that I did it. I usually study with my tutor three days a week, two hours each day. Yesterday, I had to study for 4 hours without break, because my parents went to the doctor, and they came a bit late to pick me up. My teacher didn't mind, cause my exams are knocking at my door! Certainly, I talked with my friends while doing the work, and because of the continuous study, I came home with a splitting headache, but that was worth it. I watched music shows after coming back home, my teacher was quite happy with me, he just told me to practice more. I also did my household chores well yesterday. I always try to create a balance between work and entertainment, and I did what I wanted, yesterday. I have some good friends in my teacher's place, and my teacher's son is also a sweet little 1 year old to play with. Hope the upcoming days will be like yesterday, too! |
I didn't know much about the tagging game before. Learnt it from a dear friend today. How this works: Just list eight random facts about yourself in a blog entry or static item. Give links to eight friends you'll tag, at the end of your post. Tell those eight friends that they are tagged, by leaving them a blog comment or email. I've been tagged by Shannon and twinkledee ♥'s you . Here's eight random facts about me: I love kids, flowers and music. I don't enjoy studying physics, so I changed my major from science to commerce. My favorite book is "Anne Frank's Diary". I sometimes wish I could dance, but I can't. I can sing, though. In the Bengali calendar, Falgoon is the first month of spring. My actual name, Falguni, comes from the word Falgoon. I enjoy learning about different languages and cultures. I spend most of my time looking after my niece and nephew. I love to leave my bed before 8 AM. Now, lets see, whom shall I tag? OK.... jo kiyasama earlybird SHERRI GIBSON GG very happy tayasky GabriellaR45 isiacs_mom Well, gotta think of the others later!

October is an important month for us, Muslims. Our holly month Ramadan is about to end, and our biggest religious festival, Eid-ul-fitr is coming up on the 13th or 14th of October. Eid in Arabic, means Happiness. It is not only about being happy, but it is also about making others happy. I'm not feeling so sick, and I'm writing too. I'm also studying for exams coming up in January. All the dress-boutiques, shopping malls, and all other shopping areas are over crowded these days.People are very busy with eid shopping. People are buying gifts for their loved ones. I already got a lot of gifts, like dresses and jewelery, but I don't have anyone to GIVE gifts to. I love to get gifts, but the joy of giving....alas, I will not get that joy this eid. I love to give gifts, but whom shall I give gifts to? My nephew loves to listen to stories, and I gave him disney's little mermaid for eid, he was overjoyed. My four year old (he will turn 4 next month) nephew, and 2 year old niece (she will turn 2 in december) mean the world to me. Those two little animated toys always keep me happy. I'll go to Sania's house for a party tomorrow, I hope. I have not seen them in ages. All our friends will be invited in the party. To know a bit more about Sania, see this:
I'm enjoying accounting lessons nowadays. Accounting is a lengthy subject, but not so difficult. For those of you you think I always study, let me tell you, I'm a nocturnal bird. Before late night, I don't get the chance to study, my little bundles of joy, always run behind me. If I ignore them, they feel sad. My accounting tutor has a cute two year old son, I just love his giggles. I take a little gift for him everyday, and just watch him giggle. I'm glad to be part of two beautiful activities here: click on the image to see kiya's kiyasama auction: ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** and Earl's earlybird auction is good too:
Well, gotta go now, see you soon. |
