Silly Talk

by | 10 Feb 2017

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 I saw a t-shirt that said “world’s bestest dad” and I came up with

good, gooder, goodest,
better, betterer, betterest,
best, bester, bestest,
worse, worser, worsest

Till this day, to respond to many of my questions Mahir says, “I don’t know” but he is the only one who should know about it, for example, question: why didn’t you write your journal today. Anyway, my usual response, “You know nothing about nothing, do you?”. As you can see we are enriching the English language as much as we can!

Last Tuesday was Election Day. There was not enough publicity about the candidates, so I didn't know anyone or their agenda. You wouldn't believe; I voted for the names that sounded better. The vote started at 7:00AM and I voted at 5:00PM. Yet, I was the 25th voter....

Identity Theft

I guess finally my name is added to the list of 41 million Americans who are victims of stolen identities. Someone opened credit card twice in Kohl's (https://www.kohls.com/) using my credentials. First time, I was able to cancel the card before it was used but second...

Recently, I took a agency mandated class on communication. It was a good class and the lessons learned there can be used for effective communication in work or in personal life. The instructor shared some experiences involving his client, parents, and siblings. He...

Telework

In our agency, employees are required to come to office only once in a week, so that their computer can get updates from the agency network. Rest of the days they are allowed to work from remote locations (home, hotel, etc.) which is called telework. I think 1/2 days...

মানুষের মন

বাবার আমেরিকাতে থাকার সুবাদে জানতাম একদিন আমিও আমেরিকাতে আসব। আর আসার কিছুদিন পূর্ব থেকেই স্বপ্ন দেখতে শুরু করি। স্বপ্নগুলো ছিল এমন যে – আমি লিফটে করে অনেক উঁচু বিল্ডিংএ উঠে যাচ্ছি। ইউএসএ আসার পরে অমন অনেক উঁচু বিল্ডিংএ উঠেছি। এমনকি চাকরির সুবাদে ট্রেনিয়ের জন্য যখন...

My Ordinary Life

In my personal life there is everything present for me to be happy. I am happy somewhat but I don’t feel satisfied. My existence doesn’t mean much outside of my family. If I die today I will be forgotten very fast. This world will not miss anything because of my...

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...
