Depth of Depression

admin — Sat, 29 May 2010 17:13:10 +0000

I don’t like the idea of getting depressed. But I have not yet found a way out to get rid off depression. Day by day my depth of depression increases. People says man propose God oppose. Why should he do so? I thought about it a lot of time, but did not get any answer. Most of the time, I do not get what I want. Why this happens to me? I think about it often.

People who are deeply depressed, cannot concentrate on his current goal, as a result the chance to accomplish the goal is very little. Most of the time he fails, this failure leads to more depression, and that depression again cause failure. Thus the failure circle continues.

Now the question is how one can get out of the circle. Some says failure is the pillar of success. It is true if the target is earn-able by hard work or merit. But what will happen it your luck plays an important role achieving the target?

I tried to analyse the situation, when the target is dependant on luck, you have to try your luck. When targeting a goal, a backup plan is necessary. Because luck may not always favour. In that case separate path can be adopted to get the target.

Main reason of the depth of depression is the lack of backup plan.

Forgetting the previous failure is not an easy task. So the last failure may affect the current progress. This is also a cause of depression and lost of self-confidence. Self-confidence is necessary when you are dealing with people who are intellectual. Self-confidence will do nothing if you jump from hundred metres above the ground and have the confidence that you will remain un-hurt.

The surrounding and environment around also plays a role in the depth of depression. If the environment is hostile, you will get less chance to achieve your goal. It is true that there will be a lot of hindrance on the path, but what will happen if you face one obstacle while dealing with anther one and thus continues ?

Terror and Horror

admin — Thu, 27 May 2010 18:29:06 +0000

Who is a terror? We can say those who frighten people to carry-on their activity are terrorists. I have experienced some terror and horror, those are artistic terror and horror. They do not threaten us in general way, they say that if we do it, they will do another thing. This another thing is the cause of another thing that will frighten us.

Many says that higher education is a product in advanced country. They make it product, because they are financially resolved. They have a lot of patronizer for higher education. I do not know the amount of scholarship money to study in other university, but in Dhaka University I am getting 250 taka per month which is equal to 3.7 USD per month. Those who are providing me a scholarship of 3.7 USD per month, how can they think of making the higher education as a product.

In our country most of the people are poor, the people pay our educational expenses at our university as it is a public university. If it is privatized and the authority say that those will study who have money, how the poor and meritorious student will pay a 2735 USD semister fee with a 3.7 USD per month scholarship?

I do not find any positive reason to privatize our university right at this moment. But those are trying to privatize it are the real terror and horror.

Our CSE department inform us that, they are going to launch commercial evening masters program whose semester fee is 186000 taka or 2735 USD. They wanted to know about our opinion. They have the authority to take any decision without destroying the current student’s future. Since it is a threat to our and our next 100 batches future, we opposed about the commercial course.

In the next day, they published a circular of admission of that commercial course. We started movement against it, because it is a movement for the right of education. If the meritorious are deprived of higher education, there will be no invention, no progress in business. The people who are poor but meritorious will not get the chance to prove his or her merit, only the rich guy will have higher education as it is a product.

The terror and horror lead us to the movement. We sat with the teacher, requested to stop that commercial course until our problems are solved, but they refused, We went to the Dean of Faculty of Engineering and Technology, Dr. Shahida Rafiq. She ordered to stop selling the admission form for that commercial course over phone. The students went to classes. But they cheated us, they were selling the admission forms for that commercial course. So we went to street again with slogan and banner. After five days of movements, the so called terror and horror (authority) suspend the commercial masters course in the Computer Science and Engineering Department and proposed to stop it forever in the syndicate. We know the terror and horror will rise again to destroy the merit of the nation because money matters.

Fuel Out

admin — Sat, 27 Mar 2010 17:33:48 +0000

How is the feeling of being fuel out? How uncomfortable one feels when he or she seems to be fuel out? When we got extremely tired, our mind seems to be fuel out. I feel this fuel out situation once a day. When I return home after my busy day, I feel extremely tired. I feel if I could sleeep for thousand years. I feel if I could take a shower for hours, so that my tiredness got washed out with the water flow. I feel if I could lay down on the grass on the open field and close my eyes.

Fuel out situation is extremely painful. It slows down the sprit of work, degrade the concentration and arise mental unhappiness. I am mentally very unhappy in real life.

Touch

admin — Sat, 20 Mar 2010 12:07:25 +0000

I have heard and seen some people having ultra touch sensitivity. I saw blind people who can say the amount of a money note by touching it. How developed their touch sense is? People in my country say, the Almighty Creator gives extra sense to those people who has no sense in a field. The blind has no sense of seeing. He do his regular work by touch. The science says, when any sensing organ of a being becomes deactive, the brain can put more effort on other sensing organ. So othre sensing power goes higher. So according to them if you close your eyes and let touch everything you find on the way and practise to recongnise what is that, you can certainly gain a heavily developed touch sensitivity. Touch may trigger another sense too.

Cultural beauty

admin — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 17:16:38 +0000

When we can say a culture to be beautiful? I can define a culture to be beautiful when all the traditions, rules, rituals, behaviour and occasions of a culture is harmless to all, followed by the nations and the culture is cultured throughout the generations. We handed over our traditions and rules of culture generation to generation.

When a culture grow up, it has many odd rules, rituals, occasions. Day by day, people who follow the culture begin to feel that there are something worng in the culture. The extremist try to keep the culture as it was. But the wise people change it for the betterment of human being.

Think about old hindu culture, the widow was burnt to ashes. It was inhumane. The wise Raja Ram Mohon Roy understood this and withdrew the rule to burn widow. In Bangladesh it was a part of our tradition to deprieve the girls in almost every sense. Drowry system takes a lot of life of female sex in this country. The Old greek used to have sex with boys. In the old Tibet the corpse was cut into pieces and put on the mountain top for the vultures to eat. At 10th century in China the young female child’s foot were wrapped so that they cannot grow normally. The Mayan, the Aztecs, and many other civilization used to sacrifice human being to satisfy their god. Until Sui Dynasty, castration was traditional punishment and the way to get imperial post in old China. In old Brazil, the man has to tame the donkey of a peroson, whose daughter he wants to marry. In Polynesia the bride has to have sex with all the male guests in the wedding ceremony. Isn’t it odd? These are the signs of sick traditions. Many of the sick trations are wiped out from the earth. But many prevails. We have to eradicate all harmfull customs so our culture will be beautiful.

Curve

Curve is a combination of a lot of small segmented straight line. So small segment of straight line is the source of all kind of curves not in the drawing board but also in our nature and life. Curve has some strange things over straight line. You can create a curve with some small segmented straight line but the reverse is not possible. If you join few curves it will create a complex curve but not a cruve. But putting curves of same shape and curvature may create a straight line like thing (not really a straight line).

A beautiful World

admin — Sun, 28 Feb 2010 18:16:41 +0000

A beautiful world does not mean that the world is full of precious and eye catching things. When we can say that our world has become beautiful? It is true that the world has a lot of beautiful things to notice. Are this enough to declare our world beautiful? I say no, because a beautiful world is another definition. Balance always plays a major role in beautification. A beautiful world is meant to be a balanced world in ecological, economic and cultural sense.

Every person has his or her own world, when will we say his or her world is beautiful? It is not easy, because a person may not express his or her world to other. Hiding personal world does not mean that that his or her world is nasty. When a person has a nice environment, cool friends and relatives in contact, just, love, devotion in mind we can say he or she has a beautiful world.

Beauty by definition

admin — Sat, 27 Feb 2010 17:24:07 +0000

What is beauty? Something pleasant, smooth, easing or something else that makes a sense of feeling good. How can we define beauty? How can we measure it? Well it is relative to the tastes of the human being. We say a thing is beautified when external ornament is applied. We say a thing natural beauty when the thing is genuine and nothing is applied on it. The adjective beauty creates a lot of sense in our mind, depending on situation.

A river cruise

Sondha — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 18:21:27 +0000

Recently my batch arranged a river cruise from Buriganga river to Meghna river. I had never attended a river cruise before. As we were the organizing batch, we had a lot of duties. I was assigned the duty of transportation from Department to Ship and ship to department (return). My friends were assigned other tasks. I told the bus management authority to take us to Sadar Ghat Docking Station at 7:30 AM, they came in right time, but it took more than one hour to start for the docking station. We were to take the necesary chairs, drinks, waters to the bus, make sure that the teachers and other batches are got in the bus. I myself, Zia, Nayan, Tazim, Jewel, Maska and some junior student carried these stuff to bus. I myself, Tulu, Nazmus Sakib, Shamiul Tied banners in front of the buses. We had two double decker buses for transportation to docking station. At about 9:00 AM we started for Sadar Ghat Docking Station. The Juniors were singing, so far I have heard the song is like “oo tunir ma, … tuni kotha sune na…“. We reached Sadar Ghat within half hour. Sadar Ghat is a nasty place. The water of Buriganga river stinks. We got on our ship. It was M.V. King Shomrat. We provided breakfast after the ship launched. Our female classmates arranged cultural program involving teachers and students. At noon we provided lunch and we returned at evening.

Buggy header in php

admin — Sat, 13 Feb 2010 16:28:11 +0000

Today, I got a problem in a php script. I was using header() function in the if-else branching. The code is something like

if(condition1)

{

header(”Location:dummy.php?err=1″);

}

else

{

header(”Location:dummy.php?err=2″);

}

if(condition2)

{

header(”Location:dummy.php?err=3″);

}

else

{

header(”Location:dummy.php?err=4″);

}

a contition may fullfill both condition 1 and 2. But in this case I want to go through the first if clause. I run the script and saw that the final page is dummy.php?err=3. But I supposed to get err=1. The question is why this happened? I found its answer. The first condition is fullfilled and the page is directed to dummy.php?err=1, the script does not exit, rather it run from where it was redirected. Then the second condtion is fullfilled. So the page is redirected again to dummy.php?err=3.

The solution is to use exit() function after each header() function so that the script cannot run further after redirection.

The correct code will be,

if(condition1)

{

header(”Location:dummy.php?err=1″);

exit();

}

else

{

header(”Location:dummy.php?err=2″);

exit();

}

if(condition2)

{

header(”Location:dummy.php?err=3″);

exit();

}

else

{

header(”Location:dummy.php?err=4″);

exit();

}
