Are Women actually safe in Bangladesh?

 "Step out of my way",says she with her trembling voice towards two mid aged men wearing white tupi.  

"Your outfit isn’t appropriate in here"

Harsh words with a agitated voice echoes through the subway where people stops to see what's going on & they seems enjoying the chaos rather than stepping up for the woman who seems helpless towards embarrassments. I don’t know what happened right next minutes as my mom hurriedly moved away from the place with me. I was in school back then,never imagined to stand up against all of those hujurs but deep down inside I knew what they were doing was undoubtedly wrong. I grew up,empty hand became fist but still I feel helpless when another woman get harassed in front of me for her clothing style in public. When will my country be livable for woman? In the name of religion they keeps pushing woman into their desirable choice & rules. 

Now,the above scenario is just a normal phenomenon in Bangladesh. If any girl wears tight torso,she shall be bullied in public. If any girl wears heavy makeup,she shall tolerate unwanted touch in public.If any girl have tattoo on her arms,people will talk behind her back. If any girl wears shorts,then she must have to face public negligence & bas-eyeing. If any girl walks down the road at midnight,even the police can't resist to harras her. Where is our Bangladesh? Where is our freedom? Where is a woman's free will in my country?  There's nothing left for the speech.

Every student should have a creative hobby & here is why

Photo by Steve Johnson from Pexels What is a creative hobby? We all are already introduced to the subject of hobbies. Everyone has his/her own definition of a hobby and we all probably have one or more hobbies at this point. But, one thing students should be aware of is that having a creative hobby is crucial. A hobby can be both creative and non-creative, both productive and non-productive. Before choosing a hobby or starting to practice one, a student must ensure that his/her chosen hobby is going to be both creative and productive. According to Cierra Cowan  (2022),  " A creative hobby is any leisure activity that requires you to think or express your ideas, experiences or emotions in a unique, engaging or creative way. This could include anything from traditionally creative interests." In even simpler words, "Hobbies that push you to extend your thoughts and create new things can be labeled as Creative Hobbies." Students must have and practice such hobbies in or...

Stoicism: How an Emperor viewed it

Stoicism in modern world If you don't know what Stoicism is, don't worry, I didn't know either. I used to find it humorous with the never ending self-help books that exist that still try to answer "How To Be Happy", when it was answered, or at least that's what I thought, 2000 years ago by the ancient Greek word Eudaimonia . The irony of my previous understanding is that a lot of these self-help book today are based on stoic practices but have been rebranded to fit the modern world. Even if you're not familiar with stoicism, there's still a good chance that you practice it without knowing it. For example. journaling, meditating, practicing on self-restraint are all in a way stoic exercises. Even Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which some psychiatrists use to treat their patients, were developed by the idea of stoicism. The difference is that CBT is used to help patients when they needed, while stoicism is more like a way of life. From an...

Exploring the Nature

    " Travelling- it leaves you speechless then turns you into a storyteller" a quote runs that we all can relate to. Have you ever went for hiking or trek ? Have you ever went to beeches to see the waves of the ocean ? Have you ever seen the sunrise from a hill ? Have you ever experienced sunset sitting beside on the beach ? Travelling takes us out of our comfort zone and daily scheduled routine and it inspires us to see, taste and try new things in life. It not only gives us inspiration but also challenges us to adapt to and explore the surroundings of the world. One can learn to embrace adventures through travelling. Travelling works as therapy for most of the people as they get the sense of relaxation from their hectic life. (pictures taken by_ Tasnima Hasan Soity) Back then, communication was difficult; however, today, it is easy to get to Dhaka and Chittagong by both air and road. Between the two cities, Dhaka and Chittagong, there are buses that travel directly. You ...
