Ask Yourself???

Yesterday was the fresher’s day of 14th batch of our department. I made a multimedia presentation for the ceremony. Fresher’s day at any university is of course a ceremony of joy, delight, pleasure and fun. We make a lot of fun there. In our University of Dhaka, Bangladesh, we lead a lot of national occasions too. But suddenly a thought come across my mind that why we observe the ceremony. What is its result? Students are graduating from our university and having a good position in the society. But what do they do? Most of them are thinking for themselves. None think about a better position of the country. My friend Surid tried to enlighten the light of patriotism in the mind of the fresher. He made an event to materialize it. In this event he let a tall male to carry a big torch and 4 shorter male and 4 shorter female to carry small lamp called pradip in our language. The background music was a patriotic song. And Surid was making a speech about why we are here, what we need to do, what should we do for the country. This event touched me much. Our country is a developing country. We do not have as much poverty driven people as the African countries has. We have a lot of technology geeks but most of them are using their talent for themselves.

Why we study? To enlighten our heart. But how many graduates do this? How many people starve while some people are disbursing thousand dollars for a dog? Isn’t it an insult to our humanity? Many people said to me that they have money so they will do whatever they like. It is true that your money should be used for you or your interest. But in your entire life please try to feel the sorrow of a poverty driven, almost-dead man just for once.
