Baldha Garden : A Tranquil Beauty of Dhaka

Image
Dhaka , the capital city of Bangladesh , is known as a destination that boasts a unique culture, a place where history can be explored by visiting many noteworthy sites and attractions . Over the years, thousands of tourists have come to Dhaka to visit the mosques and museums that hold the secrets to the city’s past. But amongst the bustling traffic, the hurried steps of pedestrians and the fast growing city with high-rise buildings shooting up from the city’s pavements, there are attractions such as the Baldha Garden where Bangladesh can be discovered in beauty and tranquility. The Baldha Garden was established in 1904 by a well known property owner named Narendra Narayan Roy. He decided to begin a small botanical garden on the estate, which is more than three acres in size. After his death in 1943, the garden was left to fend for itself, until the forestry department took over the deteriorating garden in 1962. Over the years the botanical garden had grown into a collection of ra

The Sundarbans

Image
In the south western part of Bangladesh, in the district of greater Khulna, lies the Sundarbans, "the beautiful forest." It is a virgin forest which until recently owed nothing to human endeavour and yet nature has laid it out with as much care as a planned pleasure ground. For miles and miles, the lofty treetops form an unbroken canopy, while nearer the ground, works of high and ebb-tide marked on the soil and tree trunks and the many varieties of the natural mangrove forest have much to offer to an inquisitive visitor. Here land and water meet in many noble fashions. Wild life presents many a spectacle. No wonder, you may come across a Royal Bengal Tiger swimming across the streams or the crocodiles basking on the river banks. With the approach of the evening herds of deer make for the darking glades where boisterous monkeys shower Keora leaves from above for sumptuous meal for the former. For the botanist, the lover of nature, the poet and the painter this land

Angel Falls in Venezuela

Image
One of the greatest natural wonders of the world, magnificent Angel Falls , remains virtually masked to mankind in the rugged jungle and mountain of Venezuela. The mighty cascade is named after Jimmy Angel , an American pilot who landed on top of Auyantepui in 1937 while searching for gold. Nestled deep in the recesses of Canaima National Park in the Venezuelan  state of Bolivar, the towering waterfall drops from a height of 979 meters off the top of Auyantepui ( Devil's Mountain) . Known in Venezuela as " El Salto Angel ," the waterfall is 19 times the height of Niagara Falls. Local Indian inhabitants named Angel Falls - Kerekupai-Meru , meaning “fa

"Incomplete" by Back Street Boys

Empty spaces fill me up with holes Distant faces with no place left to go Without you within me I can't find no rest Where I’m going is anybody’s guess I tried to go on like I never knew you I’m awake but my world is half asleep I pray for this heart to be unbroken But without you all I’m going to be is incomplete Voices tell me I should carry on But I am swimming in an ocean all alone Baby, my baby It’s written on your face You still wonder if we made a big mistake I'd try to go on like I never knew you I’m awake but my world is half asleep I pray for this heart to be unbroken But without you all I’m going to be is incomplete I don’t mean to drag it on, but I can’t seem to let you go I don’t wanna make you face this world alone I wanna let you go (alone) I'd try to go on like I never knew you I’m awake but my world is half asleep I pray for this heart to be unbroken But without you all I’m going to be is incomplete

Tell me why I can't be there where you are There's something missin' in my heart Life goes on as it never ends Eyes of stone observe the trends They never say forever gaze If only guilty roads to an endless love (Endless love) There's no control, are you with me now?

Engraving Name in Stone

Two friends were walking through the desert. During some point of the journey, they had an argument, and one friend slapped the other one in the face. The one who got slapped was hurt, but without saying anything, he wrote in the sand: Today my best friend slapped me in the face. They kept on walking, until they found an oasis, where they decided to take a bath. The one who had been slapped got stuck in the mire and started drowning, but his friend saved him. After he recovered from the near drowning, he wrote on a stone: Today my best friend saved my life. The friend, who had slapped and saved his best friend, asked him, "After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand, and now, you write on a stone, why?" The other friend replied: "When someone hurts us, we should write it down in sand, where the winds of forgiveness can erase it away, but when someone does something good for us, we must engrave it in stone where no wind can ever erase it.

Some Interesting Facts About Dream

Image
1. You are paralyzed while you sleep: Believe it or not, your body is virtually paralyzed during your sleep – most likely to prevent your body from acting out aspects of your dreams. 2. External Stimuli Invade our Dreams: This is called Dream Incorporation and it is the experience that most of us have had where a sound from reality is heard in our dream and incorporated in some way. A similar (though less external) example would be when you are physically thirsty and your mind incorporates that feeling in to your dream. 3. Quitters have more vivid dreams : People who have smoked cigarettes for a long time who stop, have reported much more vivid dreams than they would normally experience. 4. Dreams are not about what they are about: If you dream about some particular subject it is not often that the dream is about that. Dreams speak in a deeply symbolic language. The unconscious mind tries to compare your dream to something else, which is similar. 5. Not Everyone Dreams in Col

The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini

The Kite Runner is Khaled Hosseini's first book and he's done a very good job with it. His style is simple yet engaging, creating scenic visuals. You will find the description of Kabul with its kebab houses and tea shops, with colourful kites flying against a background of cragged mountains to be very intriguing. The humility and quiet strength in Hassan & Ali's characters is beautifully brought out. This book tells a simple and poignant story of the relationship between a Hazara boy, Hassan and his half brother, Amir. Twelve-year-old Amir is desperate to win the approval of his father and resolves to win the local kite-fighting tournament, to prove that he has the makings of a man. His loyal friend Hassan promises to help him? for he always helps Amir? but this is 1970s Afghanistan and Hassan is merely a low-caste servant who is jeered at in the street, although Amir still feels jealous of his natural courage and the pl
