Govt Titumir College

Image
Every student cherishes a dream to get admitted to Dhaka University, but sometimes it gets difficult for everyone to gain admission to the country’s premier university. Keeping it in mind, Dhaka University has made scope for students for their entry into its affiliated colleges like Govt Titumir College. For me, it is a dream come true. My heart leapt up with excitement. Now I am a student of Titumir College. It is a feel-good factor that I am also a student of Dhaka University.  Titumir College is one of the major educational institutions in Bangladesh and recently it has gone under the affiliation of Dhaka University. In terms of the student number, it is the biggest college in Bangladesh. It is located on AK Khandakar Road in the posh area of Gulshan in Dhaka.

National Mausoleum

Image
National Mausoleum in Savar is the emblem of the country’s hard-fought liberation war and the resultant independence way back in 1971. It stands tall like the freedom-loving, valiant Bangalees who fought for the noble cause of liberty from the despotic Pakistani rulers. Bangladesh’s august birth was not so easy primarily. It had a caesarean birth from the erstwhile West Pakistan. It had to stomach multiple pains and miseries for its survival. Earlier, the country passed under the Mughal imperialism and the British Raj. It was 1947 when our motherland got the name East Pakistan and at the same time West Pakistan was trying to underestimate us. And their persecution knew no bounds. Our guerilla fighters did not retreat and never feared to dedicate their life to keep the map of Bangladesh on the global almanac. The national memorial has been erected to the memory of those three million brothers and sisters fallen in the war. We now savour with deep respect the valour they showed a

National Library of Bangladesh

Image
Library is a storehouse of knowledge that people usually visit to quench their thirst for knowledge. Prophet Muhammad [SM] once said that human beings need to seek knowledge from the cradle to the grave. Since the flowering of the civilisation, people of all ages have been in quest of learning things. To pursue knowledge, zillions of libraries have been built the world over. In Bangladesh, especially in its capital Dhaka, people are also hunting for knowledge in multiple libraries. The national library is one of them. After the 1947 partition of the subcontinent, the Pakistan government established the National Library of Pakistan in Karachi in 1962 and a provincial book deposit branch of the Pakistan National Library in Dhaka in 1967. In fact, that book deposit branch was the embryo of the National Library of Bangladesh which came into being after the independence of the country in 1971. The National Library of Bangladesh is the legal collection of all new books and other printe

Winter pitha bonanza

Image
Apart from bringing good changes in nature, the advent of winter heralds making of different types of lip-smacking pitha (cake). The idyllic pastoral scene of pitha making in remote households comes to anyone’s nostalgic mind the moment they come across a roadside pitha shop. Unlike rural areas the city people can hardly have a bite of homemade pithas. They cannot meet their desire for guzzling pithas as its making is not that easy for city women. That is the reason why they throng different makeshift pitha shops where various types of pitha like Bhapa, Patishapta, Puli, Dudh Puli, Bhapa Puli, Chitoi pitha, Khejur Pitha, Nokshi Pitha and many others are available. The main appetizer for the pitha lovers is Bhapa Pitha and Chitoi Pitha with vorta of various types— be in the morning or evening. Usually in Bangladesh pithas are prepared and served on special occasions, such as receiving bridegrooms or brides, entertaining guests and arranging special get-together of family members
