On the day of my baby boy’s birthday (last Sunday) we were eating pizzas. At one point my mother was telling me not to eat pepperoncinis that come with papa john’s pizzas because she thought it would give me gas. I ignored and ate two anyways since I never got problem...

ভুল

ভুল বিশ্বাসঘাতকের মুখ দেখতে কেমন হয় আমি ঠিক জানি না কিন্তু কেন যেন মনে হয় দেখতে সুন্দরই হয়। এরা মিষ্টি মিষ্টি কথা বলে আবার মাঝে মাঝে বলে "আমি মিথ্যা বলি না"। বার বছর একসঙ্গে থাকলেও এদের চেনা যায় না আমার তো মনে হয় বারশ বছরেও চেনা যাবে না যদি না এরা নিজেদের স্বরূপ...

Neighborhood Nuisance

It was about 9:30pm on Saturday 17 December 2022, someone knocked our door hard – first I thought it was an Amazon delivery guy but didn’t see anyone or nothing was left on our doorstep. We checked the footage from our security camera and saw someone was running away...

Silly Talk

When he was learning to speak instead of saying I went there my eldest son, Mahir, used to say I goed there. Inspired by his innocent mistake I created two more words tolded and sawed. For example, I tolded you to go to bed but I sawed you playing instead later. Then...
