If You Forget Me
I want you to know
one thing.
You know how this is:
if I look
at the crystal moon, at the red branch
of the slow autumn at my window,
if I touch
near the fire
the impalpable ash
or the wrinkled body of the log,
everything carries me to you,
as if everything that exists,
aromas, light, metals,
were little boats
that sail
toward those isles of yours that wait for me.
Well, now,
if little by little you stop loving me
I shall stop loving you little by little.
If suddenly
you forget me
do not look for me,
for I shall already have forgotten you.
If you think it long and mad,
the wind of banners
that passes through my life,
and you decide
to leave me at the shore
of the heart where I have roots,
remember
that on that day,
at that hour,
I shall lift my arms
and my roots will set off
to seek another land.
But
if each day,
each hour,
you feel that you are destined for me
with implacable sweetness,
if each day a flower
climbs up to your lips to seek me,
ah my love, ah my own,
in me all that fire is repeated,
in me nothing is extinguished or forgotten,
my love feeds on your love, beloved,
and as long as you live it will be in your arms
without leaving mine.
--------Pablo Neruda
---------:D ah it should be F. A . Khan lol
OLD POEMS
The original bangla version of these poems were published in 1999 and 2000. Thanks to Meher Nigar MIM and Reema Akhter for their special contribution ......
" YOU"
In the dim moonlight, at midnight,
When suddenly the freezing dawn wind blows,
Or,
The transparent daylight of autumn,
When it touches you,
As if I wake up.
At that moment.
At the midst of this tiring life,
Something rose from the past, some lost memories,
Which makes some fleeting loneliness,
Which reminds me of You.
Then,
Opening the access of the desire heaven,
Then I come close to you, very close to you!
In your untamed hair,
In the blowing light wind,
In the sunshine,
While I surprise you,
Do you feel me, only me?
If you don't find me in your thoughts,
If you are missing me,
Then
Walk along the dew drenched field.
You will find me in each dew drop,
And I will find you too.

“EKUSHE”,
--in memories of 21 February, 1952
When,
Dawn breaks over the world,
that’s the time everyone knows
Ekushe has come.
Shaheed Minars are covered with flower petals,
To remember the occasion.
On this dusty path gathers
Hundreds of the young and old.
Again the shadow of sorrow instigates,
As the deep secret in one's heart is woken up again.
The silence awakens suddenly around.
And the scent of the blood of those Martyrs lingers in the air.
All life suddenly seems to stop,
In front of this monument.
In a short time everything around, loses its liveliness.
It becomes lonely, silent.
With a sad and broken heart, people standing …
Suddenly abandon their mundane lives
only for a single hour, on the specific day, for this gathering.
For an instant, this emotion is felt by the hearts of young people.
They urge to all the Martyrs,
To Wake up again,
To Wake up in their hearts.

The Final Annalysis
this is one of ma recent reading.....I am now becoming a fan of Her
People are often unreasonable,illogical and
self centered...forgive them anyway!
If you are kind, people may accrue you of selfish,
ulterior motives.....be kind anyway!
If you are successful, you will win some false friends and
make some true enemies..succeed anyway!
If you are honest and frank, people may
cheat you...be honest and frank anyway!
What you spend years building, someone may
destroy overnight....go ahead and build it anyway!
If you find serenity and happiness, people may
be jealous....be happy anyway!
The good you do today, people will often
forget tomorrow..do good anyway!
Give the world the best you have, and even that may
never be enough......give it anyway!
You see in the final analysis, its all between you and God,
It was never between you and them anyway!!

Authenticity
I was reading the book "Daily Inspiration" by Robin Sharma...and lets share so far some of the best part of it...
" Your wounds can be turned into your wisdom. Your stumbling blocks can become your stepping stones if you choose. Do not miss the remarkable opportunity that adversity and even tragedy presents. Your life can be made even better by the things that break your heart."
" Growth sometimes comes in difficult ways. But growth is always good. If you could look down at your life from a 50,000- foot perspective, you would see that everything that's happening is very beautiful. Priceless, actually."
" Immediately before a great victory, one will often experience a stunning defeat. The key is to maintain your focus and keep on believing. Don't give up."
" There are no mistakes in life, only lessons. There is no such thing as a negative experience, only opportunities to grow, learn and advance along the road of self-mastery. From struggle comes strength. Even pain can be wonderful teacher."
Enjoy the life!

I am really happy that after a long days I again started reading this book: "Goals - How to Get Everything You Want-Faster Than You Ever Thought Possible"; I downloaded this at the beginning of this month but couldn't manage to finish it. This month is about to end and when I look back, it seems like a month full of dissatisfaction and discomfort. Actually today I learn if there is no one or nothing to motivate myself, only I, myself can motivate me. I have to be come and cool. I have to get back myself. It wasn't me whom i was talking with, watching everyday in my room's mirror. Thanks to Allah, at least I realize the things.
This book reminds me to forbid three things which are :
1. Not to blame others.
2.Always admit own responsibility.
3.No more excuses.
I have to take charges in my life.
Setting my goals..................
It is very important to set goals in life. I have only 2 goals right now to achieve in this upcoming 15 days. Some books can really change a person's life. I recently talk with one of my dear one, who was really frustrated about the life; Only spending 2 hours and motivating for setting goals, can help some one to being charged and positive about life! Wow.. amazing....I really enjoyed that transformation. Today, I am really missing my friends and some of my colleagues

Yesterday, my midterm exams were over. Last exam was too good. I just finished it in 1hr and 15 min! and then revised and got a mistake in my paper! And it made me real happy cause I was always very lazy to revise my exam papers and hardly want to do that. Lots of things are happening in my life and in my country. So, though I thought that I would write about my conference in this post, but now I am not in mood of thinking of past. I am planing of printing of all the photos that I took there. Everyone wants to see those. Then I may want to write!
Anyways, I was talking with one of my chat friend and he is in army. He was talking about a upcoming project that they are going to launch in this October. Its based on making new markets of groceries and selling them a very low price then the current price rate in the markets. Through that, they can control the price of vegetables and other crops. Most liking part of this project for me is that, they are trying to give a good amount of money to the farmers for their crops. I think, the idea is fine and as the govt. already give them the permission, according to him, so it may start showing its effect from October. But what makes me irritate is that, I was asking him about some barriers that they may face while they will run the project; and he hardly can answer me the solutions. To me, it's sounds like he didn't do his homework! Then I started making lots of queries and made his life hell! ;)
When I was watching today's evening news in NTV, I found that they are focusing on this same issue;a Hillisha fish is selling at a price of 800/- TK which is more then $10 USD! And the current government recently band exporting Hilisha fish in India, cause fish traders are exporting it for $2usd! According to today's news, they still exporting it. I really can't understand why this things are happening in our country.
Apart from that, now I am learning using "ubantu", a Linux based operating system. "ubantu" means "humanity toward others"...is sponsored by Canonical Ltd, owned by South African Mark Shuttle worth; the name of the distribution comes from the African concept of ubuntu! That's sounds interesting.:) this operating system made for average users. hmmm. For this reason I find it user friendly and start liking it more then Windows!
In my office, all the computers have this operating system, and all are connected through Intranet. An intranet is a private computer network that uses Internet protocols, network connectivity to securely share part of an organization's information or operations with its employees!hmmmm;) Moreover, we are using some software, which are so advanced and user friendly that, what else my kind of tech lover may want. Our head office is in Malaysia, and they are monitoring all our activities from there! I think it's good that I start from a small multinational organization and I think it will help me to develop my professionalism.
Instead of this job and MBA, I am planing of doing a job of my own. I am start making a list of what I want to learn and which skills I want to develop to be what I want to be! lets see, how close I can be!
Today I want to watch Indian Idol III, and my favorite is Anteeka! She is a genuine performer and all other contestants have a fear of her performance cause she is so unpredictable! She got the chance in gala through wild card! I think, Allah makes those life real hell, who may be a real star in future. And I think that's fare enough;) only 15 min to go!1,2,3......;)
