Graduation Party

by atiqulhoque | 17 Jul 2022

On Saturday 02 July 2022, we celebrated important milestones of our children. We had four graduates this year in our family – one graduated from kindergarten, two from elementary schools, and the oldest one among them from middle school. Kids were free to spend as much time as they wished in the water (plenty of water guns and swimming pools were available for them). Later they had cake, barbequed chicken, hot dogs, and burgers. Overall it was a fun-filled day for the children and for the guys too. I hope the celebration of their achievements encouraged the little graduates to do well in school.

Here is a little graduation party video:

In Loving Memory of Michael Brown: A Neighbor’s Unforgettable Smile

I was shocked to hear that our neighbor, Michael Brown, passed away on May 2, 2024, and even more so to find out only after thirty days had passed. I had gone to see him because I noticed his house was up for sale. I assumed he was moving to Florida or somewhere else...

Kurbani

This was the first year when I went to butcher shops for Kurbani of Eid-ul-Azha (Annual religious sacrifice). We deposited $500 to a butcher shop in Pipersville, PA to get a bull of around 1800lbs. That was a Thursday and he told our organizer that he only had big...

দলাদলি

দলাদলি এবং বিভক্তি নিয়ে বাংলাদেশী বা মুসলমানদের সম্পর্কে যা বলা হয় তা মনে হয় সত্যি নয় কারন এক ইহুদী লোকের কাছ থেকে আমি এই কৌতুকটা শুনেছি – দুই ইহুদী এক হলে নাকি তিন দল করে। দুইজন আলাদা আলাদাভাবে দুই দল এবং দুইজন একত্রে আর এক দল...

National Pride vs. People’s Lives

More lives could have been saved but the Bangladeshi government reportedly refused to take assistance from some friendly countries in rescuing garment workers from collapsed “Rana Plaza” because of national pride. I am not sure where is the pride coming from. Other...
