Neighborhood Nuisance

by | 20 Dec 2022

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 after knocking our door. I didn’t think he would come back second time. Two minutes after the first knock he did the same thing again and scared my little baby. I opened the front door, kept the glass/storm door locked, turned the outside lights on and inside lights off, waited in the dark for a while and later went outside to check around our house. Couldn’t find anyone, so checked the footage from the back security camera and there he was. Speedy John came back about six minutes later, looked directly at the back camera, and realized he was photographed, so he just left.

About three months ago someone entered my car and checked everywhere. He took few dollars that I kept for donating and scattered all my documents on the floor of the car but didn’t take anything else. I am still not sure how he opened the car door, so I concluded I might have left the car door unlocked by mistake. After this Saturday’s incident I am thinking this can be the same guy who goes around annoying people and checks cars to see if they are unlocked. Anyway, next time I will contact the police.

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...

Library Time

I try to take the kids to a library once in a week to spend some times with the books and bring some books home, so they can read them during the next week. Hopefully, they will build a habit of going to the library on their own. May be one or both the kids will be...
