Children of the roads

Eid & Childhood Memories

As it is said by everybody, the pleasures of an Eid day reduces as you grow older. The childrens are most happy on this day. Why the grown ups cant? May be they have known about things up to a certain amount, and put on things to worry about so much, that disrupts their peace & happiness.

Then I should quote "Where ignorance is bliss, it is folly to be wise" :jester:

Come on, what the good comes from worrying about things even on Eid days, when you cant do anything about it, at least on that day? I think the better way is to watch the children enjoying their eid, getting lost in childhood, and become one of the children, at least mentally. But lamenting on the pleasures that I enjoyed in my childhood will definitely spoil my pleasures. Homer: Doh!

On this Eid occasion, I visited my teen-age love's house. I hardly think of her now a days. But interestingly, when I kept looking at her eyes & face, to find out how much she has changed after her marriage & giving birth to her baby, I unexpectedly found out that my older feeling about her started coming back. Do those feelings never wipe out? And I have enough to believe that she also got her feelings back, about me, may be to a little extent. She followed me to her neighbors house, they were invited there, I was also, but she was refusing to go there even after a while ago. :confused:

Then is it true that it is hard (or simply impossible?) to forget the person you first loved?

Theist - Atheist


Blaise Pascal, the renowned mathematician, once made a comment about the existence of God. That if there is God or not. He said If their is God and you let go some of your desires that are not complying with Gods regulations, you actually lose nothing, as you will be compensated for that. But if their is God and you deny him, then you lose everything. So its better to believe that, there is God.

people dont feel the need of God as long as they are not in trouble. p: But if they are in trouble they feel a grea need of a God, that they can depend upon.

Pure Atheists are rare to be found. And they dont live long. rip (Well, I cant produce some statistical evidence right now). But when they are in any type of danger or distress they feel more helpless than the theists, as they have nobody to depend on, while the theists still have God to depend and rely on. This reliance relaxes the heart a little bit. As their heart is strained lees, so thir is more chance for them to live longer. :love:

People usually becomes atheist for some reasons like they cant see any concrete evidence of the existence of the God or they become doubtful about the existence of God seeing bad things happening to them and around them. Or sometimes, they lived a happier life that they found no reason to think about God.

But still, if their is no God, then what made the Big Bang take place?
What made this happen suddenly? What makes this complex mechanism of the world go on so smoothly? Do you have any idea what will happen if the earth lessens the speed at which it is spinning on its axis? Do you know what will happen if the leaning earth becomes straight on its axis? What is making DNA work so precisely in designing human being? Our technology is still so young to produce such sophisticated brainchild. That's why we can feel how difficult a task it is.

Well, I am not a Atheist yet. bug

I hope, I will never be wise (!) enough to be one. :faint:

Children of the roads

Yesterday while I was crossing through the overbridge at Mirpur-1, Dhaka, a girl of 8-10 years, who was sitting on the floor tried to get to my feet :yikes: . It is not a new technique to attract the sympathy of the simpleton looking passerby by falling at hteir feet and asking for money, claiming they are hungry for a few days. It is very often true.

These kids try attracting sympathy this way. Its embarrasing but not much dangerous. But what would happen if a woman carrying a baby jumps at you, crying "Where have you been for so long, why did you leave me?" :cry: etc. Many getlemen fall into such embarrassing situations :cheers: .

Some, almost all of them are addicts, block your way with crap in their hand, as fresh they have just produced it from their bowels, and asks for money in an amicable voice :whistle: . What will you do? If you are a superhero, you can try to save yourself from a man hoding a loaded gun, but I doubt even a superhero would feel helpless in front of a crap carrier. He would rather negotiate with that 'bad guy' with a few taka, than taking the risk of having the crap all over on him... p:

The beggers that beg in public joints, works daily, at least 10 hrs a day. If they earns 1 Tk per minute., they earn 600 tk. per day, 18000 tk. per month. Even many university graduates find it very difficult to earn that much a month, working for the same labour hour.:sherlock: What good is our education for? :zip: ...

Come on... policy makers, find some way to rehabilitate them. otherwise, we are going to adopt their profession... and that day is not so far away :yes:
