Dear Payel,
Thanks for the tips sis. I will try keep in mind. But problem is I'm too lazy and don't feel to do things which I needed to do most.
For last few days it's too hot around here. But again mango and jackfruit time. Yeee...haaa...
You won't get that in Big Apple (NY). Hopefully, next month I'm going to Rajshahi after my mom get back from calcutta, few of my friends have mango garden. You just get in the tree and eat as much as you like. Umm...you can't imagine what's the taste. This is the beauty of BD villages. Again urban areas are like hell, nothings good here.
What are you studying these days?
-Dinangkur
urban areas are like hell, i agree with you in full 100%, i love village, i mean village, the dead dark village, with all the trees and birds and all those. my village changed to hell as well. though, i still like it better than some other village.
i think stealing mengo is the funnest thing on earth. i loved to do it. sometimes we talk about those things and laugh. i think we only have that.
i didn't read much this time, i just slept and now spending time behind the CSS and i love it really. it's fun.
the best book i read in last 6 month is "beloved" by toni morrison.
it is full of fleshback and quite complex but the book is great. just as one comment on that book, many rereading worthy.
on slavery, african american stuffs.
i love African American histroy stuffs and African american writers writing as well. those have something in them to learn from and something that touches your heart and shakes you. that's why i loved it.
i did a project on it and based on a topic, dehumanizing treatment of slavery. i love my essay too. i think the essay was good though quite long, i don't know how to be concise at all that's why.
hey! DK you are a programer right, can you teach me a little bit of those, my webdeign teacher uses some tags of programing to copy and paste stuffs and it is interesting.
i hopefully able to take classes on it when i am in college soon enough. but till then want to know a bit of it at least.
take care.
don't steal any mengo, leave some for us. ok.
DK dont' you think this picture is cute, a big chicken is walking with little little cute baby chickens with little little soft feet. don't you think the pictures look cute. i told my mom this and she was laughing. when i think of it, i just smile. _________________ I know i do not know, and therefore i want to know. by: why?

Nice to hear from you. I can feel those exams. I never want to back to that exam life again. At this point I don't know what I've learnt from exam life. Right now it seems to me a stupid way to judge someone's creditability. Though I've interest to do PHD in near future. Everything depends on my settlement in Australia. Quantum is furious about my decision. But I can't help it, I just can't set my mind this urban area. I believe the worst outcome of civilization is third world's urban life. Capitalization is showing it's every evil side in full throtle. In a way, I'm also a escapist.
Fruits in BD is forbiden for middle class. Right they are so expensive that you can't touch them. I never go for it unless I went home to Bogra. Let me give u some examples, then u tell me, shall we eat those fruits?
Banana: Now business man spread a midicine on green banana and withing 24 hours it's ready to sell, yellow color and 100% fresh. But those medicine is really harmful for human body. We don't know what kind of long term genetic alteration is happening from that medicine.
Watermelon: The put a injection and within 2 hours the melon is red like blood. When u will see, u will say whao!!! Yummy!!! But the story behind that is really ugly.
Mango: Same thing is happening with mango too.
Now tell me how a man can survive with such dishonestly. 2 ways I think-one is become a hardcore crook or become a backbone less human being.
These days I'm reading budha Gospel. Just finished Banco by papilon. It's hard to get good books here these days. So, I look for in Nilkhet. I get old things. But I love what I get.
So, work hard for your exam and I wish that you get a good result and get admission in a good university.

you told me about a bad news, though, its same in here as well. everything with some medicine stuffs. there are fights of genetic eng. of bio to reproduce cow and stuffs, they give medicine or so, and the give too much milk and so on.
i think almost everything comes along now with some growing medicine thing.
the natural stuffs are getting so diseases are increasing. nothing compare to the taste of natural stuffs. i don't eat much fruit. mengo i used to eat in bangladesh not much in here, hard to get one that tastes good.
DK, you are so modern yet so rural and it's nice. you are so into the beauty of nature of bangladesh. isn't it. that's good. i am no less.
you are going to australia haa!! good, that urban side again. NY is mad jam. brooklyn is actually worse, too crowed. though NJ is nice, i like there a lot. don't think i will be able to go there this summer. its really nice near the beacth, and lake, its lonely that's why.
NY is nice around CITY though with those tall buildings that's another type of beauty but doesn't come closer to village one.
though, i like as the trees are turning green from dead stick. really great. as i look, i just look at it and say ah! if i could take a picture of this. i couldn't. no one likes to give me camera because i take these natural pictures that are just waste to them.
i feel dezzy about my tests, all the finals are monday and tuesday, and not after. what a thing.
and tomorrow i will have one and then on friday one.
for my lazy stupidity, i am suffering, i didn't study hard throughout the year so doing too much now. only for physics though, that's the one, i have to take regent that's why.
today going to Long island to take bangla speaking regent.
my college is done, going to CITY college, just need to finish the registration and program setting, waiting for their invitation letter to come. everything else is set except my major. don't know which one to pick. my mind change too much, so i am afraid to take one if i don't like it after a while.
hope you will have nice time in your village and will be able to eat fresh fruits that has no madicine at all.
take care.

Hi Payel,
I may be able to send you old books from BD, if you arrange any person whom you know, going to USA. I can deliver books to him, that much I can do.
Newzeland is really cool and very good place to live. I never been there but seeing it from different pictures and movie, I feel enternal peace. I envy the people who lives there. I also love Tibbet. I'm planing to go next year. I asked quantum about it. But one condition, no wife.
For last two days, it's really hot around here. If it goes this way for next 2 weeks, we definitely will have water crisis at Dhaka. Now, it's big problem here. You can't drink water outside. It's totally polutated. You need to buy a clean bottle of water or wait until you get back to home.
I believe this is not the fault of our government. A govt. can't do anything unless people of that state helps the govt. And we're not willing to do that at any casue. So, few people making profit out of it.
Alas! we are blind folded and we do not seek light. We get used to it. Love to live in the darkness of our dying morality, phantomize the idea of revolution which I see in the left wing party in our country, but don't have the strength of acting as such to bring social revolution. Young egar minds are poluted with illussion of imported culture. I wonder, a kingdom is never been lost as like bangladesh.

hey DK,
what is not up? (what's up?)
i liked your last few words, those are really truth. the youngs are lost over the illusion. though, can't blame them for i too am lost with some other types of illusion just don't see it.
hum!! you are a traveler too. nice.
i see you miss your dearest WIFE so too much. don't miss too much DK, she will come by soon. ok.
i don't understand how can you not find one amongst those cute girls in dhaka. COME ON!!! there must be one who doesn't want money and car stuffs and one like you wish. you have to open your eyes and ears to find. or else, you should visit by yourself without any seed of regret.
visiting alone won't be too bad. i like it quite well. don't have someone to order me, do this do that.
when i go out with one of my sister and she will warn me too much. though, i hate to admit she is right and have to listen to her or else i will hear some yelling and so. i bother to listen and most of the time i don't and get in nice lovely trouble.
thank you so much DK for the helping hand and also for book sending offer. but i don't know anyone except my father. and can't tell him.
it's alright. i will go to bd after a year or something like that. might be able to get some then.
maybe then you can help me.
so how is everything? good with work and hot with hot weather.
i heard of that water problem before as well. its bad. you are right that people don't want to help and gov't can't move on to help for it and need people's hand.
no morality, almost gone i would say. it is too hard to find a honest person on earth i must say. i feel very hurt for it. and don't understand why people like so much for worthless reasons. don't they have any conscience and morality of their own that prevents them. the other day i was talking to my sisters about it and they said people lose it after doing too much of lie. i believe it. when people do too bad stuffs, they think of those bad stuffs as bad, they lose the ability to recognize and separate bad from good.
yersterday...what ? i forgot what i was writing. yea here: i was reading behind the book of hamlet and comments on it.
one the saying was this:
how can we live in this world or something like this where love, care, friendly talks, smile all the actions that a man can play.
it's true. i think of this so often yet i trust people around me and think of them as me. otherwise i can't live and move along with them. if they cheat on me. well! good for them. for they are not cheating on me and fooling me around rather themselves. they are the foolish one and not me. they have no self-respect and no value of their words and actions. they think of them as worthless and their words and actions. that's why they can fool THEMSELVES around as that.
you know DK that i like this forum very much and i do trust people in here very much. online isn't a place to fool around for me and i don't think it for others. it is not just a place a worthless at all. it's another world. and to me this has a lot value, i have learned so much through it. i use so many great useful information and websites over it. i think of those people who take it as fun and i really don't like those.
i like this forum for first reason:
......all of you use full English sentences, instead of some slang stuffs and so on.
.......you all are really nice and friendly and polite and helpful.
............all of you act as meture and understanding of others and don't fool around (at least i see it from words.)
..i don't know what you all think of me, but i am really serious girl, my words and actions stand for me, they are me and i am them. my words and actions has a lot value to me. though, i am really angry girl but nice till others angers me. i don't know how to be rude and fool around and i don't juck and don't like it either..
take care ...i wrote too much...
DK.

It's wonderful to get such response. Sure I will be able you regarding books when u will be at BD, if I stay here long enough.
Today weather channel said, this hot weather will continue for next one week, as there is no monson air. So, at the end of the week we will hang from tree like bat.
We're also thinking to move out, we need bigger office now. As, this month will be really busy for us and very big step for our future too. I hope everything will go well. We need to rearange our whole network and customer service system. Quantum and I working on details plan. These days, he is really busy and in coming month I will be too.
You're quite right about internetworking (Internet), the infrastructure of it just fasinate me. Because of internet, communication access to information become so easy. But people abuse it. Specially, I seen this among BD young people. They treat internet as a tool for chat but nothing else. The reason for it, less education regarding communication system. Education must come from universities, schools and colleges. But our teachers are not equipt with advance technology. They are afraid. There are lot of examples of such teacher. I must not draw such boring list with examples.
Dear Payel I never had doubt about your seriousness and devotion. I sometimes lack of such devotion, so quantum just bang my head to bring me at right path. I don't miss my future wife that much as u say, though I miss someone. Actually, thing is that I spend most of my time at office and infront of computer or computer related hardwares or people from this arena. So, I get very little time for going out. In leasure time, just read books or listen musics or watch DVD. So, u understand how can I meet someone if I don't go to public places such as DU campus or others. I don't regret for that. I just enjoy the ride of life. Sometimes fadeup with red-ribon attitude of BD people and dis honesty, except that things are cool as long as I'm alone.
It seems like I'm writing too much like you. . Though it's really cool. Tell me about second generation BD americans:
How they cope with cultural difference? Do they adapt american culture or keep BD culture or create their own?
How they responses in the community?
How their parents cope with certain attitudes of their kids (such as drugs problem, living alone, living with girl-friend, marry different race)?
Have you seen the movie "American chai". Take a pick after exam, I think you will love it. Specially I love the dialog- the guy in the movie introduce him as "indian american jew black mixed guy". I forgot exact words. But u must see the movie.
I got some work to do, keep up the writing and do good in exam.

hope you are cold a bit at least.
i am real happy to know that you write as me.
now i don't have to scare to write on.
i can write forever it is as this.
really, i really can write a lot.

longer. my teacher says write 3 page, i trite 3 times of it. you know.
i try to be concise and when i do, i get not so nice grade so go back to the my old long style.
in webdesign class. only teach HTML. ...wish they taught something more
complex and advance. but they poor ones, only started this one a year ago.
you asked me so many questions. i can't answer them now.
you know you are the only person who ever talked about bd this way with me. i alwasys wanted to hear and asked but no one talks.
they just don't.
i don't know.
you talk almost like me. good for me. i don't have to worry.
i will answer to your big questions later because those will take time.
i will be little busy so won't have time to write them in here. so i will write at home and send you later.
ok.
writing a real good one, big.
so take care.
oh! yes, good luck with all the hard work that you all are going through.
hope you all will be fine.
DK you have to give time to get your dear one. (i don't think my saying will ever work for i am another isolated one, talk with none and hang around with none.)
take care.

Hi,
Nice to get a quick reply. I find amusing about BD people when they don't like to chat about the country where they opened their eyes once. And in old age they will come back here to die like old dogs, before they do they will blame everything. I met lot of people back in 1996-2002, who just like to draw a bad pictures about BD to foreigners. They will say- BD is a worst country to live, bad people, corruption and bla bla. Again those people are ofended by those foreigners and constitution of those countries when anything bad happen to them, they started to blame back. I define it as identity crisis syndrome. Old buggers from BD who are living in foreign countries long enough can't forget the green picture of their village school and talk about those past over and over, never let it go and can't look in the eyes of future. As, a result second generation are in identity crisis. But not the way as young chaps of BD. My simple equation is that if anybody decided to move out and live in another country then he should follow the rules and system of that country, that's the path he agrees upon. We must learn two things from indians - patriotism and professionalism. These two is very essential tools to make a country better - economically and politically. We are very much in lack of it. Compassion that we've lost. When I talk about those things with my parents, same thing happen, they say - their is nothing for you in this country, get out. It seems that foreign lands are holding keys of solutions for all problems that we're facing right now in BD. Alas! nobody care to teach their children patriotism. As a result, a dual-minded person standing before u. I'm also in identity crisis and I will live with this pain through my whole life.
I will wait for your answer. Post the programming questions when you get time. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Hi,
It seems like it's being restricted by library server (size of file). You may check with the network admin. By the way, you can use USB device (128MB). It's very chip, in BD it costs only $18. I think you can get it and u don't need to worry about floopy disk anymore. We use it all the time. Take a pick in chinese computer market. It's cheap there.

hey Dk,
how are you back there? how is hot now? i hope its ok for you guys now. its way too hot in here i can tell you that. it is like steaky glue, humid really. in here the AC is on, so not so problem but in most of the classes they don't have AC so the condition is horrible.
how is everyone in here? it's nice to see people coming back in here again.
hopefully i will get that USB device. i will tell my brother.
i have two more days of classes and today all my finals ended. great relief and i am here too late still. i was saving as much pages i could of java script and php. i got some books but i couldn't save any but. i still have a lot to copy down.
this ploffy disks have little space and that's the big problem.
i need one of those really.
DK, would you mind to tell me how can i center links with CSS codes, i didn't find anything to do so. maybe,
Code:
<div align="center"> ...</div> or <center> ...</center>
i need to use. is it right? please let me know.
so take care. bye now. _________________ I know i do not know, and therefore i want to know. by: why? (translation of greece name)
