America’s birthday 2022

America’s birthday 2022

Last two years we watched fireworks from home, so we went to see the fireworks yesterday at the park about 2.5 miles away from our house. I drove around the park but didn't get any parking, so I double parked on a street next to the park and took a quick video (linked...

Money Well Spent

I bought two dahlia plants with 2/3 small flowers last summer from Walmart. After planting them in my front yard I was pleasantly surprised to see so many beautiful flowers during summer and fall. However, I didn’t know that they had bulbs underneath the plants, so...

AT&T Cheated Me

I complained many times against AT&T, still stayed with them because they gave me good prices for phones. This time they lied to me and I believe I won’t stay with them after my contract is over unless they give me what they promised. First, they sold me Samsung...

Obnoxious Driver

Around noon on Saturday 13 July 2019 I was driving towards Queens, NYC on Brooklyn Queens Expressway (BQE) and little before exit 23 (still in Brooklyn) I was trying to go to the right lane but a car came too fast and too close to mine in the right lane, so I went...

On 03 November 2018 I was coming to USA from Bangladesh and I got sick in the plane. When we landed at Shannon Airport, County Clare, Ireland I started shaking in the queue to final checking before flying to JFK airport, New York, USA. I was shaking because my fever...

My worst experience with doctors

It was December 2015, my second son was playing with colored cotton balls and I thought I saw him putting one small cotton ball in one of his nostrils (he was 1 year+ at that time). We saw something red in his nose but we weren’t 100% sure because the inside of a nose...

Voted

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....

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...

When Thoughts Aren’t Private

I just watched the first episode (“Joan Is Awful”) of the seventh season of Black Mirror on Netflix. It was incredibly dark. The story follows how a poor, everyday family falls victim to corporate greed. The premise was chillingly simple: you pay more money for the...

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...

Color of Validation Text

You may have noticed that the color of the validation text is black in framework 4.0. To make it red again I found the following solution but some users say that it doesn’t work always. <?xml version="1.0"?> <configuration> <system.web>...

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...
