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...

Special Someone

Though I was never cruel to anyone other than using wrong words my softer side was seldom revealed for I never met someone who cared to look under my hard surface. In fact, I never got enough love to open my heart to someone. Most of the times, I was misunderstood, so...

Verizon Sucks

After having it for more than three years I had to cancel my Verizon Internet (FIOS) service on 09 September 2017. When I was cancelling I mentioned that bill close date was 06 September, so can I be excused for the last two days but she said no and I would be paying...

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...

Visiting Parks

During this summer I started to take my kids to different parks, so they can spend some time outside of the house and get some physical movements rather than playing video games the whole day. I take pictures every time we go outside. Also, I make videos of less than...

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...

Making Money Using Laws

I am astonished to see that NY DMV fined me $130 ($50 fine + $80 Surcharge) for failing to show current insurance proof. I had both current and old insurance proofs in the same envelope because the new insurance proof comes long before the old one expires. By mistake,...

Fun, Waves, and Celebrations: Our Havre de Grace Vacation

Every year, my family and I eagerly anticipate our family vacation, a time to unwind and make special memories together. This year held extra significance as we gathered in Havre de Grace, a city in Maryland, to celebrate my parents' remarkable 50th wedding...

Social media

I have some friends who don’t like Facebook or twitter (may be they even hate it). I told them to join several times but they avoided by giving many excuses. I think social media makes communication easier. I only have their phone numbers but sometimes I don’t want to...

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...

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...
