A little story

Girl: Slow down, I'm scared.
Guy: No, this is fun.
Girl: No it's not. Please it's too scary!
Guy: Then tell me you love me.
Girl: Fine I love you. Slow down!
Guy: Now give me a BIG hug.
Girl hugs him.
Guy: Can you take my helmet off and put it on yourself? It's bugging me.

(in the paper the next day): A motorcycle had crashed into a building because of brake failure. Two people were on it, but only 1 had survived. The truth was that halfway down the road, the guy realized that his brakes broke, but he didn't want to let the girl know. Instead, he had her say she loved him and felt her hug one last time, then he had her wear his helmet so that she would live even though it meant that he would die.

Brave wife 'fends off' big tiger

See the news from BBC:
------------------------------

Brave wife 'fends off' big tiger

The tiger population in the region is coming under pressure for space

A woman in Bangladesh armed only with an oar from her rowing boat fended off a Royal Bengal tiger which was attacking her husband, police say.

The lucky escape happened near the Sundarbans mangrove forest in the south-west of the country.

Eighteen-year-old Nazma Akhter and her husband Anwarul Islam, 25, were fishing for shrimp on Sunday in a canal on the fringes of the Sundarbans.

Tigers kill about 20 people a year in Bangladesh, mostly in the Sundarbans.

'Courage'

Police chief ASM Zahid said the tiger bit the man on the knee and was dragging him off into the forest when his wife set about the big cat with her oar.

"This woman is extraordinarily courageous, because she alone fought the tiger and saved her husband," he told the BBC.

"I salute her for her courage."

Mr Zahid said that Ms Akhter kept the tiger at bay for 10 minutes.

Local newspapers reported that such was the beating it received from the paddle that it was forced to beat a retreat into the forest.

Mr Islam is reported to be recovering from minor injuries following the attack.

Police and forest officials said the incident comes after two fatal attacks on women in the Sundarbans area last week.

An amazing Love Story

He met her on a party. She was so outstanding, many guys chasing after her, while he so normal, nobody paid attention to him. At the end of the party, he invited her to have coffee with him, she was surprised, but due to being polite, she promised.

They sat in a nice coffee shop, he was too nervous to say anything, she felt uncomfortable, she thought, please, let me go home.... suddenly he asked the waiter. "would you please give me some salt? I'd like to put it in my coffee."

Everybody stared at him, so strange! His face turned red, but still, he put the salt in his coffee and drank it. She asked him curiously; why you have this hobby? He replied: "when I was a little boy, I was living near the sea, I like playing in the sea, I could feel the taste of the sea, just like the taste of the salty coffee. Now every time I have the salty coffee, I always think of my childhood, think of my hometown, I miss my hometown so much, I miss my parents who are still living there". While saying that tears filled his eyes.

She was deeply touched. That's his true feeling, from the bottom of his heart. A man who can tell out his homesickness, he must be a man who loves home, cares about home, has responsibility of home. Then she also started to speak, spoke about her faraway hometown, her childhood, her family. That was a really nice talk, also a beautiful beginning of their story.

They continued to date. She found that actually he was a man who meets all her demands; he had tolerance, was kind hearted, warm, careful. He was such a good person but she almost missed him! Thanks to his salty coffee!

Then the story was just like every beautiful love story , the princess married to the prince, then they were living the happy life... And, every time she made coffee for him, she put some salt in the coffee, as she knew that's the way he liked it.

After 40 years, he passed away, left her a letter which said: "My dearest, please forgive me, forgive my whole life lie. This was the only lie I said to you---the salty coffee. Remember the first time we dated? I was so nervous at that time, actually I wanted some sugar, but I said salt It was hard for me to change so I just went ahead.I never thought that could be the start of our communication! I tried to tell you the truth many times in my life, but I was too afraid to do that, as I have promised not to lie to you for anything.. Now I'm dying, I afraid of nothing so I tell you the truth: I don't like the salty coffee, what a strange bad taste.. But I have had the salty coffee for my whole life! Since I knew you, I never feel sorry for anything I do for you. Having you with me is my biggest happiness for my whole life. If I can live for the second time, still want to know you and have you for my whole life,even though I have to drink the salty coffee again".
Her tears made the letter totally wet.Someday, someone asked her: what's the taste of salty coffee? It's sweet. She replied.

Interest Free Relation?

Is there any relation in this world Interest free? Sometimes I get confused. We all are selfish. Ha ha ha!!! Dont you agree with me? Go in depth of any relation and u will find there some interest. I was planning to write some hard talks. But not feeling to write them. I just wished to express what I think. I am not giving any reasoning. But its true that 99% relation in this world are related with some kind or interest. Almost every one is selfish. Some are positively selfish where some other are negatively selfish.

Oh, one another thing --- dont think then I am considering only the 'love' related relation ... I am talking mainly about the relation of friends, relatives and others.

Weird thinker, aint I?

Fencing Problem

One day a farmer called up an engineer, a physicist, and a
mathematician and asked them to fence off the largest possible area
with the least amount of fence.

The engineer made the fence in a circle and proclaimed that he had the
most efficient design.

The physicist made a long, straight line and proclaimed, "We can
assume the length is infinite", and pointed out that fencing off half
of the Earth was certainly a more efficient way to do it.

The Mathematician just laughed at them. He built a tiny fence around
himself and said, "I declare myself to be on the outside."

IUT in Gazipur a centre of excellence
Says OIC secy general
Diplomatic Correspondent

Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) Secretary General Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu highly praised the role of Islamic University of Technology (IUT) at Gazipur in Bangladesh as a centre of excellence.

He made the appreciation when Foreign Minister M Morshed Khan had an exclusive meeting with the OIC secretary general yesterday morning.

Foreign Minister M Morshed Khan and the OIC Secretary General both are now attending the 33rd Islamic Conference of Foreign Ministers (ICFM) in Baku in Azerbaijan, according to a message received here from the foreign ministry.

During the meeting, they discussed the major issues before the ICFM. The Bangladesh foreign minister also appreciated the work done by the OIC Secretariat.

Khan urged the secretary general to approach the member states to realise the arrear contribution of the member countries to the IUT at Gazipur.

Ihsanoglu assured the Bangladesh foreign minister that he would take personal initiatives to improve the financial situation of the university.

The OIC secretary general also thanked Bangladesh for its constructive role in various OIC bodies and hoped that Bangladesh would continue to support various OIC initiatives.

In response to a request by Khan, the secretary general conveyed his eagerness to visit Bangladesh at the earliest opportunity.

Khan, who spent a busy second day in Baku, also held a bilateral meeting with the Albanian Foreign Minister Besnik Mustafaj yesterday on the sidelines of the ICFM.

During the meeting, they agreed to examine potential areas of cooperation between the two countries.

The Albanian foreign minister expressed his country's eagerness to learn from Bangladesh's success stories in various socio-economic areas, including micro-credit, empowerment and education of women.

Khan briefed him on various positive developments in the socio-economic areas in Bangladesh.

The ICFM is scheduled to conclude today with the adoption of the Baku Declaration and resolutions on specific topics.

Frustration ... again , again and again ...

I am getting more and more frustrated now a days. And I’m becoming more and more so as I’m unable to do anything about anything! What to do? I really cant find out any answer of certain problems, I cant see the solution, I don’t know what to do even! Where I am heading to?

I strongly believe that good and bad comes one after another. May be I’m passing some worst time of my life; but still I am hoping for the best! Still I’m waiting for some good result. May be I am a foolish guy! May be I’m a crazy guy! Or may be I’m just a victim!

I’m gonna totally eaten by this Giant Frustration. No way to hide! I’ve tried more and more to hide in myself by keeping myself away from everything! I even don’t share anything. Just trying to keep everything in myself and let the Black Ugly Giant eat me! Yes, eat me u son of a B*t*h! I don’t dare you! Or do I? Or I have to dare?

This is madness, this is wired, this is a foul situation. But this is love, this is believe and this is all good things. So hope that good will win against bad again! The good will rise! Yes, waiting for the sun rise!

Ha ha ha … I guess u don’t understand a single bit what I am saying. Well, I’m talking to myself. Trying to free my mind a little bit. Trying to share with the digital world. Hope that the webpage wont mind. Ha ha ha … utilizing my think trash bin – my blog in the fullest.

Never mind, Lets wait until the storm ends.

Lets pray to Allah.

Just a Link

Nothing want I say! Just check the link and leave your comments. I guess its the shortest post I have ever made in my blog which is the most meaningful post of out of all. Thanks.

I was thinking how illiterate the people of this sub - continent are! Now a days, there are lots of "dhormo bebshayee". They sell religion. And people follow them! Amader deshe peer fokirer kono ovab nai. Lok jon tader bishshash kore, tader taka poisa dey, tader theke upodesh ney and above all tader je satisfy korte tader kase shahajjo chay!

Majhe majhe eto kharap lage! This is true that once upon a time there were some peeeer-awlia. They were very much learned, respected and holy man. But now? may be there r still some. But the thing is, those who do business on it - are they holy man? Tahole kivabe amader deshe etto etto peeer er dorbar choltese? etto etto murid kotha theke asey? Bangladesh ek odvut desh!

The silent writer

I am becoming a quiet writer. All they long, lots of ideas and thoughts come in my mind... I keep them to write in my blog. But what happens at the end of the day? ZERO! I'm becoming very lazy to write. All day long I remain bz and get tired. So, at the end of the day I become quiet. Besides this, I have some limitations to write them all! So onek kisu bolte chai...But pari na...

chup chap katiye dissi din... and also day by day my writing style and standard is decreasing... Should I stop writing? Coz as far as I know, this blog is read by a few of my friends like - tareq, dipu to whom I always talk over internet and also meet at shahbag ... ... ... eito... ei duijon e! ha ha ha!

May be I should go to hibernate!

Some memorable moments ...

At last, I’ve got some free time to write! So many things ... but cant recall them all… Lets have a look.

Sunday : 28.05.2006

This is one of the days I wont ever forget. Actually, I don’t like change. But wind of change – never stops. I got really very much comfortable with all the batches I was taking classes. But the time came when I have to move with a new batch. Coz it’s the end of Spring 2006 trimester. I’m talking specially about a batch – Microbiology. There are about 36 students from MBO 26,27A,27B,28A batches for the course “Computer Science.” It’s a computer basic course. I though that as it was a non departmental course for the microbiology people, they wont like the course, wont do good in the course and wont understand anything. But I was wrong. They were really a different batch. Coz the quality of students are really good in this batch. I have pressurized them with lots of load. But they are good at digesting them all! Good job guyz (opppsss…sorry… ladies also)! It was really hard for me to say you good bye!

Usually I take evaluation of myself from the students at the last class. I did it here also. Coz it helps me to improve. But the thing is, they didn’t write any weakness of mine. It seems that they don’t want me improvement! Coz no one is perfect. Everyone has some weaknesses. I told them before giving them the evaluation form, “Listen, here is no option to write your name, your ID on the form. All your markings so far has been done and I wont get any name on the final exam script as the office of the exam will use some code and then will give them to me. SO here is not fear of getting less marks and getting good marks by oiling vice versa! So, please write some thing bad about me.”

After this, I got some response about my weakness. They are :

# Sometimes I am too fast i.e. cover lots of topic in one class.

# More practical work should be introduced in this course.

# Apnar chul majhe majhe shamne chole ase keno? Er mane bujlam na.

# Sir, (*) (*) (*) (*) – ke?

There are lotsa other things. At evening, some of the students - Rampa called me.

Rampa: Sir, agami kaal dupur 1 tay dike ki apni campus e thakben?

Manzur: na, kintu keno? Any problem with the course?

Rampa: No Sir, actually amra shobai kalke ekta sotto aoyojon korsi apnar jonno…apni ashle khub khushi hobo.Manzur: Kintu amar mone hoe ekhon na meet kore amra final exam ses howar por meet okri? Tahole besi time pawa jabe. And keyu bolte parbe na je Sir ke ora bias korar try korse. Plus agami kalke amar dupur tintay GP te written exam ase ekta.

After a few moments, Rampa called again.

Rampa: Sir apnake kalke ashtei hobe. Coz amra ayojon kore felsi.
Onek koste ekta free class manage korsi and shob batch ke bola hoe gese.
Sir, Exam ses hoel to shobaike ar eksathe pabo na. 

 Erpor aro kisu bakko binimoy holo. Kintu kono bhabei oder manate parlam na.
So, oder kotha dilam, ami ashbo. They also invited the attached course teacher

Ei je etto etto student kea mar orjito knowledge transfer korte partesi…amr theke ora notun notun shikhtese…ei anondo ki ami pabo GP te? Amar mone hoe na… amar mone hoe, this life is far far better.

Though they are not the students of my department, though I wont be taking any classes of them – still they want me to stay. Well, It’s a really different type of feelings…different type of feelings for me.

As it is the very first semester of my Teaching career, these things are new for me… and I am enjoying! I will always remember this day.

Tuesday : 30.05.2006

Today was the last class with the EEE students. I take the course “computer and programming concept” with them. It’s a senior evening batch of Stamford University. All of the students of this batch are professionals having a diploma degree. They are doing B.Sc. in EEE to improve their academic qualifications. I always respect this batch. There are some people in this batch who are more that 20 years of older than me. One of them started arguing with me on some matter at this last class. And today, I got really angry and started rude behavior with him. I never wanted to act like that with them. But they took it easily and the fact is, when I was getting more and more angry then one of the senior student beg pardon to me. I was calm. I completed the whole class and as usual, I asked their own opinion about me by the evaluation form. I thought there would be some hard talking in the evaluation form. But again, they were so much polite. And when I was leaving, one of the student stood up and said, “Sir, amader bhul hoe gese… amader karone jodi apni kosto peye thaken tahole shobar pokkho theke ami apnar kase khoma chassi… amader please khoma kore din”…

I was speechless!

Wednesday and Thursday : 31.05.2006 and 01.06.2006

I passed a couple of hectic days as it’s the last days of this semester. I concluded with two other batches in these two days. The response was same from those batch. Indeed, one batch requested me to take their next course some how. But I told, course distribution is not on my hand. So cant do anything.

Another remarkable incident took place today. Ajke rate ami shahbug jassilam. Poribag er shamner VIP road ta cross korei porlam ek utko jhamelay. Hotat koththek ek lok ese dhakka khelo amar sathe. Then ami sorry bolar por uni kotha jomnar bhab kore bivinno kotha jiggas korte laglo and amar handshake korar usilay shokto kore hat dhore rakhlo… kisukkhon er modhdhe ami bujte parlam ki hote jasse..ami chintai er shikar hote jassi… then kono mote ami amar hat tan die shoray then rikhsaw uthe jaan bachalam…ase pase onek manus silo…but keu bujte partesilo na ki hossilo..ami ar kisukhon kotha bollei beta amar mobile, taka shob chintai kore nie jeto… eta ekta new style chintai korar… handshake korte korte hoeto bolto, “bhai…kono chilla chilli koiren na..hasi hasi much kore daya thaken..amar kase maal ase…chillaile ekkerew vuri fasay dimu… ja ase aste koira amar kase dia den and haste haste rikshay koira choila jaan…” – Allah amake bachailo… thaks to Allah. Amar rikhshaw wala ke bollam ghotona..unio bollo, “bhai ami to bhabsi apni apnar porichito karu sathe ktoha boltesen…”

So guyz… be aware!

A memorable day

yes, its a memorable day for me ... But cant write today. Have to go to Airport to receive bhaia, bhabi and mahir.

I'll write about it very soon...

It was really something different today...

till then, ByE!

Birthday party

It seems wired to have a birthday party at this age! But the thing is, I just wanted to pass some time with my friends. And that was the reason for the party. About half of the members of CIT - 01 batch of my university were present yesterday. They are : Vicky, Dipu, Morshed, Shuvo, Sunny, Tareq, Hanif, Abedin, Munna, Oleen, Shiraj, Imran, Rafi, Fuad, Shajib, Sayeed. Beside them Rabbi, sumon, Eshu apu and tahnia, Mofiz chacha were also present. So, when I came back home at 8:30 PM from the office, I found lotsa people out there! WOW! It was really great to see them as I was passing "MoN KhArAp" - type day. Dont know ...but sometimes amar mon emnitei kharap hoe jae (na na... amar mon kharap na...mon bhalo... actually mon okhushi...)

Here are some photoes taken by my Nokia 7710 which are not good in quality for low light situation.

Ajke shobar age (infact 12 ta bajar ektu agei) bhaiya & bhabi phone korlo Singapore theke... ya... I'm missing bhaiya also... but the fact is, I never express anything. Coz in somecases I am a machine. Er por phone korlo "MY EVERYTHING" (Nam ta likte parlam na kisu technical karone). oh... abba 11:30 er dike wish korei then chole gelo..coz ghum dhorse :) . er por or sathe kotha bolte boltei dekhi sumon,my very old friend phone korlo.

oh... I gotta go! She has called again! :) :) :)

ba bye! Wish me good luck!

Getting more confused day by day ...

Day by day I'm getting more and more confused. When I joined Stamford University as a Lecturer in the department of Computer Science I was so happy! Coz Its really a very respectful job and also Stamford is a renowned private university of our country. I am pretty sure that it will be getting higher and higher ranking every year. Now it is considered as one of the top 8 universities of the country.

But suddenly I found that the telecom sector of this country is offering smart job with lotsa money! Yes, you can say that money is nothing in compared with honor, but the fact is - its not always true at all!

I had and still have wish to do my Masters and if possible the PhD as soon as possible. But if I join to any multinational telecom company or even in any Bank then it will be difficult to do my higher studies. Coz I will be detached with academic education and also more and more money will try to bias me. Only the teaching profession will lead me to my goal. And also I have a hidden wish of trying for the BCS service.

Except these, there r lots of other conditions and constrains I am considering now a days. So I am getting more and more confused day by day.

Hope and pray Allah Almighty will help me ...

Waiting for my full featured website

Currently I am using blogspot for my blogging. I have wish to setup my very own webpage on my server. Waiting to buy some webhosting. I guess then I can bring more things for you!

After a long time today I have taken a class in microbiology department. Classes in Stamford were temporarily suspended for some unavoidable reasons. Suddenly after the class, guri gui bristi suru hoe gelo... bristir kotha english e likhte bhalo lage na... ojhor dharar borshon amake shobshomoy mugdho kore. Tai ajke khub asha korchilam shei borshon er. Kintu hotash hote holo guri guri bristi ebong shei shathe rode er lukochuri khela dekhe. Abohawa ta jeno aro gumot hoe gelo. Ekhon hotat amar janala die baire takalam, Bhapsha ekta abohawa! Dhaaat!

Anyway, I'll get back again with more of my thoughts. Till then, CHaO!

CIT - 01 RuLz

Recently I've heard from someone that my degree (B.Sc. in computer science and Information Technology, CIT) is not a good one. And also he/she thinks that the people of the CIT department of IUT are not engineers i.e. its not an engineering degree. What should I say, I was just stunned! Then how come we (The CIT people of IUT) are members of The Institution of Engineers, Bangladesh (IEB)? Ha ha ha … wanna check my membership? Here is my member No: AM/8728.

Actually sometimes I become frustrated as my university doesn’t do any publicity here in Bangladesh. And that’s the reason most people (actually academic and engineering people know about it though) don’t know what it is about. Well… I never felt bad, but when I hear something bad about my degree and my university from really very close person then I become frustrated. Tell me, what to do?

How come people think that CIT of IUT doesn’t have any job? And only the EEE guyz are ruling in the job field? Actually amra hoilam hujuger jaat, Hujuge Bangali… so ekhon telecom sector e EEE guyz beshi chance passé…tai shobai oidike douraitese…but keu shudhur proshari dristi dey na. Why the demand of the EEE guys increased? And why the demand of Computer Science people have decreased (as people thing!)? Have you looked at the private universities of Bangladesh? There are about 54 private universities here in Bangladesh and all of them have some departments related to Computer Science and Engineering. But the fact is, they are not producing quality graduates. Thus the demand of the Computer Science people have decreased in job market dramatically in our country. On the other hand, there were only the renowned public universities and a couple of well reputed private universities who had the EEE department. When the giant employers start hiring people they find only those handful EEE guyz who were average in quality and less in number. So it was easier to find a good employee out of them. Coz the private sector was producing thousand of Computer graduates where only a few were quality graduates and others were waste production or you can say, only the certificate holders. I am telling these things with due respect to the students of the private universities coz there are both good and bad quality graduates. No one can say that all of them are bad, even some of them are way too good than the public university graduates. I hope every one will do agree with me in this regard. I can name some of the good private universities like: NSU, AIUB, BRAC, STAMFORD, IUB, Ahsanullah, East – West etc.

Any way, Now I am listing below the status of the 36 students of my department who were graduated in September, 2005 below:

Facing any problem in fire fox???

I had a wired problem in my firefox. Some thing like : "Every time I go to download any kind of file it crashes. I don't get an error report because it automatically sends the report without me seeing it. It even crashes when I'm saving pictures (on the save as part it is just blank. it doesn't have png or jpg or gif or anything). Then when I try to go to options to change the options it crashes again. I basically can't do anything except surf."

After a few search in google, I got the solution. Do the following things:


In your "Working Profile" C\docs&settings\username\applications\mozilla\firefox\profile...
Look for: downloads.rdf , Delete this file with Firefox closed.

When you restart a new clean file will be created.
If you are searching for the file name: downloads.rdf make sure you have show hidden files/folders enabled.

You can also go to Start > Run: %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\ProfilesThe ********.default folder (random name) is the profile folder. If you have more than one then check them all: with Firefox running you have a parent.lock file. Always close Firefox before making changes to the profile folder.

So be aware and make your download list clean.

Out of my body ...

You Decide ...

You are driving down the road in your car on a wild, stormy night,
when you pass by a bus stop and you see three people waiting for the
bus:

1. An old lady who looks as if she is about to die.
2. An old friend who once saved your life.
3. The perfect partner you have been dreaming about.

Which one would you choose to offer a ride to, knowing that there could only be
one passenger in your car?

Think before you continue reading.

You could pick up the old lady, because she is going to die, and thus, you should save her first. Or you could take the old friend because he once saved your life and this would be the perfect chance to pay him back. However, you may never be able to find your perfect mate again.

Magic or math ...

1 x 8 + 1 = 9
12 x 8 + 2 = 98
123 x 8 + 3 = 987
1234 x 8 + 4 = 9876
12345 x 8 + 5 = 98765
123456 x 8 + 6 = 987654
1234567 x 8 + 7 = 9876543
12345678 x 8 + 8 = 98765432
123456789 x 8 + 9 = 987654321

One Last Breath

Please come now I think I’m falling
I’m holding on to all I think is safe
It seems I found the road to nowhere
And I’m trying to escape
I yelled back when I heard thunder
But I’m down to one last breath
And with it let me say
Let me say

Hold me now
I’m six feet from the edge and I’m thinking
That maybe six feet
Ain’t so far down
I’m looking down now that it’s over
Reflecting on all of my mistakes
I thought I found the road to somewhere
Somewhere in His grace
I cried out heaven save me
But I’m down to one last breath
And with it let me say
Let me say

Hold me now
I’m six feet from the edge and I’m thinking
That maybe six feet
Ain’t so far down

Sad eyes follow me
But I still believe there’s something left for me
So please come stay with me
‘Cause I still believe there’s something left for you and me
For you and me
For you and me

Hold me now
I’m six feet from the edge and I’m thinking

Oh Life....
I need a Knife...
I want to fight....
in this night....

Bangladesh : Shadhinota Dibosh

Bangladesh : Shara Bishsher Bishmoy, Tumi Amar Ohonkar!

I dont feel good to see the current situation here in Bangladesh ... Khub kosto hoe bortoman obosta dekhe ... I had a lot of things in mind to write ... but ekshathe shob mathay ese gij gij kortese... so cant express them right now... I better give u some web link to know about the "Moktijuddho" (Liberation War 1971) of Bangladesh.

• http://www.liberationmuseum.org.bd/
• http://www.virtualbangladesh.com/history/independence.html
• http://www.drishtipat.org/1971/
• http://www.answers.com/topic/east-pakistan
• http://www.drik.net/warvet1971/htmls/
• http://www.gendercide.org/case_bangladesh.html

Now tell me ... do u know what happened in 1971? Do u know what the "Rajakars" did at that time? Then how can u vote the rajakars? How can u make them the minister of this country? How can they ride on Govt cars with Bangladesh's National flag?

What should we do? How we did this to us, to our country!

I dont know what to write more... not feeling good right now... may be we will forget these things within a few days... and again will be angry on Rajakars or Pakistanis on any 16th December or 26th March... or 21st February?

But u know one thing? Though I cant do anything abt it right now, still I wont forget it...and wont ever forgive them!

I declare, if I get any chance to do harm to them, I will do it without any hesitation...

Its a promise...


May Allah give me that strength. Amin.

My new domain

I have bought this domain some days ago... but again I was so much bz that I couldnt design my own website... thats y I'm using domain forwarding. My new address is : www.manzur.info

U can go there to read my blogs!

Back ... after a long time! Teaching Life ...

Back again...

Always I think that I will write here... but cant... I'm so lazy! Also not getting enough time to write blogs... I've started taking classes from 13th of February, 2006. This is the Spring 2006 Trimester in Stamford University Bangladesh. This semester I have to take 5 different under graduate courses (total 5X3=15 credit hours) :

1. Course: Computer Concepts; Batch: BBA 29G; Credit Hour: 3
2. Course: Computer Science; Batch: MBL 26,27A,27B,28A (Microbiology); Credit Hour: 3
3. Course: Computer Science; Batch: 28A (Pharmacy); Credit Hour: 3
4. Course: Computer Concepts; Batch: FLM 29 (Film and Media); Credit Hour: 3
5. Course: Computer & Programming Concepts; Batch: EEE 29A; Credit Hour: 3

So all the 4 courses are same. Only 1 course is for programming. In this semester I dont have any class of CSE department! Actually the reason is : there are lots of students in Stamford University (about 15,000 +/-) and number of CSE students are small compared with other departments. Still Stamford has the largest number of CSE students among all the private universities of Bangladesh. So other departments also need the basic course of computers which we offer.

Among these batches of mine, EEE batch is the most senior one. All of the students in that batch had their Diploma degree before and are serving in different areas like : rankstel, T&T board etc. They are doing their B.Sc. for getting promotion I guess!

I have submitted my research interest in 3 major areas this semester as a supervisor:

• Handover protocol for Mobile IPv6
• E-commerce
• Search Engine Optimizing

Lets see if I find any CSE student in these area to do their final year thesis.

Okey ... feeling so tired right now... Hopefully I will be back soon ...

Thanks
Shovan (or should I write my name : "Manzur" ? coz I'm using this name right now :) )

C yaH!

First day ... First post

Chayara shore jabe, jani shurjo uthbe
Mrito shob gacher neechey, aagun jolbei
Buker govire nodi, kuwasha kuwasha
Pathorer upor boshe, dekhchi e shob-e.

Takie achse mrittur epare
Jiboner shutibro ullashe dekhi ami
shada rooode bhashchse shob-e.

Paye paye, fire ashi abar
Nibvrite buni, dukkher gaaan
Ononto agune pore, onidro chockh
Amar bibek pore, shurjer niche.
