A Morality Shop

A Morality Shop

A Morality shop is the latest addition in the history of shop. Though we don’t see any shop like this in our country. A morality shop is a new kind of shop where there is no shopkeeper. The price of each item or thing is written on a small piece of paper. These price tags are attached to the items. A customer picks an item he likes, looks at the price tag and puts the money in the box kept there. The customer is the owner of the thing. In this system, there is a chance for any one to take a product and go away without paying. But nobody does it. If anybody does, it will be stealing. Though there is no one to guard the shop, human conscience will protect the shop from stealing. There is something in our mind called conscience. It tells us whether our actions are right or wrong. If we steal or do a bad thing our conscience will pick us and trouble us. So we will never have our peace of mind. So to be a good and happy person, we should have a clear conscience. When every person of society becomes good, morality shop can be established in our society as well.

A village fair(G wf‡jR †dqvi-GKwU MÖvg¨ †gjv) is a place of joy (G †cøBm Ad Rq-Avb‡›`i ¯’vb) and pleasure (‡cøRv(i)-my‡Li) for the villagers (di w` wf‡jRvim-MÖvgevmx‡`i). As such some special (mvg G‡¯úkvj-we‡kl) and attractive (GvUUªvKwUf-AvKl©Yxq) arrangements (A¨v‡ibR‡g›U-Av‡qvRb) are made (Avi †gW-‰Zwi Kiv nq) in the fair (Bb w` †dqvi-‡gjvq) to attract (&A¨vU¨vKU-AvKl©Y Kivi Rb¨) and amuse (AvwgDR-Av‡gvw`Z K‡i) the visitors (wfwRUim-cwi`k©K‡`i). Circus (mvBKvm),

Magic show (g¨vwRK †kv), Jatra (hvÎv) and Jarigan (RvwiMvb) are the chief (wPc-cÖavb) attractions (&A¨vU¨vKUkvbm-AvKl©Y of them (Ad †`g-Zv‡`i‡K) in the fair (&Bb w` †dqvi-‡gjvq). Merry-go-rounds (‡gwi †Mv ivDbW), puppet shows (cv‡cU †mvm-cyZz‡ji bvP), mock fights (‡gvK dvBU-Kwe Mvb), the lotteries (jUvwim) etc. are some other (mvg Av`vi-Ab¨b¨) special attractions (‡¯úkvj  &A¨vU¨vKUkvbm-we‡kl AvK©lb) of the fair.

The village fair has some drawbacks (Wªe¨vK-Ac~Y©Zv/Amweav/evav) too. As it lacks in (j¨vKm –Afve) arrangements (Av‡ibR‡g›Um-Av‡qvRbmg~n) for proper (‡cÖvcvi-mwVK) sanitation (m¨vwb‡UBkb-¯^v¯’e¨e¯’v), it sometimes (mvgUvBgm-gv‡Sgv‡S) leads (wjWm-cwiPvwjZ nq) to the outbreak (AvDU‡eªK-cÖv`yfve©) of epidemics (Gwc‡WwgK-gnvgvix).

The gambling parties(M¨vgewjs cvwU©m-R~qvix `j) in the village fair (Bb w` wf‡jR †dqvi-MÖvg¨ †gjvq) tell upon (‡Uj Avcb-ÿwZ K‡i) the morality (givwjwU-‰bwZKZvi) of the village people (Ad w` wf‡jR wccj-MÖv‡gi gvby‡li), besides (wemvBWm-GQvovI) subjecting (mve‡RKwUs-Aaxb) them to economic loss (BKbwgK jR-A_©‰bwZK ÿwZ). Moreover (‡gvi Ifvi-GQvovI), undesirable (Avb‡Wwmiv‡ej-AcÖZ¨vwkZ) people (wccj-RbmvaviY) and criminals (wµwgbvj-`ylK…ZKvixiv) visit (wfwRU-Av‡m) the fair and commit (KvwgU-NUvq) various kinds (‡fwihvm KvBbWm-wewfbœ ai‡bi) of mischief (wgmPxd-AcKg©/Awbó/ÿwZ/AcKvi).

Rural people (iæivj wccj-MÖv‡gi gvbyl) are deprived (wWcÖvBfW-ewÂZ nq) of different kinds (wWdv‡ibU KvBbWm-wewfbœ ai‡bi) of amenities (A¨vwgbvwUm-bvMwiK myweav/myLiZv) of life (jvBd-Rxe‡bi) enjoyed (BbR‡qW-Dc‡fvM K‡i) by the urban people (Avievb wccj-kn‡ii gvby‡li). So (‡mv-ZvB), a village fair appears (Avwcqvim-g‡b nq) before (we‡dvi-mvg‡b) the villagers (wf‡jRvim-MÖv‡gi) with all opportunities (IciPzwbwUm-my‡hvMmyweavmg~n) for joys (R‡qR-Avb›`) and pleasures (‡cøRvi-myL). It gives (wMfm-‡`q) them (‡`g-Zv‡`i‡K) much (gvP-A‡bK) relief (wiwjd-gyw³) to their toilsome (Uqjmvg-Kógq) life. It is a part or our cultural life (KvjPvivj jvBd-mvs¯‹…wZK Rxeb).

Or, A Memorable Event of Your Life

First day at school is a day of great importance to everybody.Life is made up of events and experiences. But all of these are not equally important and memorable. Some of these are pleasant and they remain evergreen in great. My first day at school is such an event.

A school is place of learning for a child. It is a training ground for him.
He prepares himself for the stage of life. 

One day my father gave me the good news When my parents declared the news of my schooling. I became very much excited and started leaping and dancing in great joy. Then the expected day came.

It was 2001 when I went to the school for the first time. My mother washed me well. I put on new clothes. 

At that time I was six years old. I went to school with my father on foot. After 20 minutes we reached out school gate.

I was charmed to see the buildings, students and others of the school. After some times my father took me to the headmaster’s room. My heart beat was getting fast. But his smiling face and gentle words put me at ease. 

He asked me my name and some questions. I could answer all of them. The headmaster pleased with my response. I was admitted to class I.Then I was sent to the classroom.

When I entered into the class everyone looked at me with great interest. My class teacher introduced to my classmates. They welcomed me with a smiling face.

One of them invited me to sit beside him.I felt very happy. I made a few friends. Everything became all right.

Different teachers came in different periods . We all stood up to show them respect. Our teachers spoke in a polite manner.All of them were very good and kind.

I had four other periods all together with a break of 30 minutes. I found that all my teachers were careful, friendly and helpful.

In the tiffien period I ate the tiffin.

The school broke up at 2 pm. I left the school with a cheerful mind. A new place is a new experience. So my first day at school is a new experience in my life. I will remember the day as long as I live.

Rivers of Bangladesh

Bangladesh is a land of rivers. The health, wealth and happiness of Bangladesh depend on her rivers. There are many big and small rivers. The Padma,the Meghna,the Jamuna are the big and wide rivers.

The Buriganga, the Sitalakshya, the Dhaleswari, the Teesta, the Madhumati, the Gumati and the Karnafuli are small rivers. Most of the rivers of our country from the Himalayas and fall into the Bay of Bengal.

The rivers are the source of our wealth. Bangladesh is an agriculture country. The prosperity of agriculture depends on the rivers. These rivers have made the soil fertile. So rice, jute, tea and others crops grow in plenty here.

Our rivers abound with fish. Fish is an important wealth. Our fishermen catch a huge quantity of fish and export to foreign countries. Thus they earn a lot of foreign exchange. Fish is our main item of food.

The rivers of our country are the main ways of communication.Boats, launches and steamers move on these rivers in all seasons.

Men and goods are carried from one town to another; from one part to another. All these are possible only for river communication.

Most of the cities, towns, industries, hats, bazaars, trade-centres are on the bank of rivers. The products of mills, factories and industries are easily carried to different places through rivers.

Raw materials from far and near can be carried easily to our industries. Thus our rivers help in commerce, trade and industry.

Some of our rivers are source of energy. This energy helps our industries. Some of the rivers are used to produce electricity. Goalpara and Karnafuli hydro-electric projects are used to solve electricity problem.

The rivers have a great influence on the people of our country. We love the rivers, its water and music. The rivers have made us emotional and sentimental. Much of our joys and happiness depend on rivers.

The rivers have influenced many of our writers and poets. Many rivers have found expressions in the writings of Rabindgranath tagore, Kazi Nazrul Islam, Michael Modhusudhan and Jasimuddin.

Some of the Bengali novels have been named after our rivers : Padma Nadir Manjhi and Padma Promatha.

Our artists and painters like Jainul Abedin have been much influenced by our rivers. Shari, Bhatiali and Murshidi are the expressions of our village people’s love for rivers.

Sometimes the rivers cause great damage to our life and property. In the rainy season the rivers overflow their banks and cause flood. People suffer untold sufferings.

In spite of the little harm, the rivers are useful to us in many ways. They are the source of our wealth, health and happiness.
