Hot Spots By The Power Of Grayskull! What the hell are they doing over there?!” (Or any other variations) One of the many things fledgling couples are afraid of is the first perfect date. Fact - There's no such thing as perfection. However, that doesn't, and shouldn't, stop anyone from going as close to it as humanly possible. Considering that, the frontier isn't far. At any rate, here are some neat suggestions for places to take your significant other for a date; first, last, or otherwise. The Spots STAR Cineplex shows some neat movies sometimes, and Bashundhara City has lots of places to walk, talk, and eat about. A lengthy amount of (window) shopping; some wandering about and finally an hour or two of good entertainment, while sipping coke and crunching popcorn - simple, somewhat cheap and thoroughly enjoyable. Ofcourse, the company you'll keep would make anything enjoyable and the small annoyances and other cons of the place become negligible. Going 'Wild' But, a quaint and scenic spot would be the park-slash-yard of Shongshodh Bhobon, where quite a many sort of people go to have a fun time. The place is somewhat homely and more in touch with Mother Nature than the sites mentioned above. However, do make sure to avoid going there when the sun's up and about or you might be returning with some unwanted sun burns. Otherwise, the wind in your face would make you feel like flying. If you're at the artsy type, you can try the museums, or the art exhibitions, plays and cultural demonstrations and so on that occur scattered about the city. Enact romances, and recite epic poetry together, and what not. Everything's fun and good, if it's in your taste. The Dhaka University campus holds some great and monumental landmarks that might be unknown to some of you. Venture out there, read the footnotes and find out more about your splendid culture. Buy some Vel Puries, a glass of coke, and look about at the wonders and great history beheld before you. Going Local Each other's rooms may possibly be your favourite choice. Unless it's the trophy holder for messiness and untidiness, where undergarments are shamelessly strewn about, giving of a certain intolerable stench only you've gotten used to, by living in it for a decade, decades or more. This sort of room usually belongs to guys. With exceptions, ofcourse. At any rate, provided it's inhabitable, hang and talk about in your own rooms, eat, drink, relax, do nothing and just enjoy and relish the wonderful time you're having - provided, your parents know about it. Otherwise, don't get caught. Additionally, be good. OR. Forget everything, throw this paper away and steal/gather a large chunk of money. Then, travel the World and the Seven Seas, and just like everybody else, look for something. This would be Going Global. (WARNING - NOT ENTIRELY SAFE.) Whatever you do, be sure to have fun, prove to be a delightful companion and good luck! By Emil Men are dogs, women are cats The now popularized saying “All men are dogs” is not as offensive as most males think. In fact this statement is a compliment of the highest order and one should be glad to have received it. Women contrary to popular belief (like every other thing) are not vixens but actually cats. Elton J. on the other hand (the non-existent third hand) is an insult to all men, real men, in this world. To understand the whole concept, read on and pay close attention to every line, sentence, word and punctuation because otherwise you wont understand anything and if you go long on enough without noticing the punctuations, you will die. Punctuations make you breathe and breath keeps you alive, so you catch my drift, right? Men Go Woof While Barking Orders Cat's claws and Women's nails Fighting Like Cats and Dogs Disclaimer: - There are more exceptions than one can think of. There are men who help to accent the dirty dog and there are women who act as men's savior. Without either this world couldn't last for long. All opinions and views are mine and only mine and because they are copy-written and original don't pretend that they are yours. Elton J. is fictional, not catholic, plain fictional. By Osama Rahman By the Riverside By the riverside I lay down my heart And on the water I write your name, The waves ripple like your sleek lustrous hair Rain drops glitter to say you are listening. I rest my head on the bosom of the grass Dews like your hands cradle me Silent stars lend their ears For my songs that you are listening. Here am I by the riverside, Where my footsteps are breathing I will hold you in my eyes, Chant your name, till you come running. By Adnan M. S. Fakir |
What they don't teach in school… When there is nose bleeding: -Put pressure on nose for 10 minutes, but don't hold both his nose and mouth for 10 minutes. -Do not claim to be a doctor and perform open heart surgery on the guy with a slight nose bleed. Because we all know that impersonating a doctor can lead to some dire consequences. When a cat or dog bites you: -The idea is not to be bitten in the first place. Which means, just to stay on the safe side, avoid the overwhelming urge to shave all house cats and castrate random street dogs. -Sucking the wound to get the blood out is not a good idea. Because cats and dogs don't inject poison into the bloodstream like snakes and real life is not a Hindi movie. When there is a fire burn: -Do not call the fire service to deal with a first degree burn. As cool as firemen are, I don't think they know much about health and medicine, it might be better to call a doctor. -Do not steal a fancy car, run an old lady over with it and then crash into the RAB HQ. When there is bleeding from a large cut: -Do not perform CPR on someone who is bleeding from such a cut, especially if the person belongs to the same sex. -Do not initiate a game with your friends to see who can put the weirdest thing inside the wound. By Sadman Alvi Till death do us apart Now that they are retired, my mother and father are discussing all aspects of their future. "What will you do if I die before you do?" Dad asked Mom. After some thought, she said that she'd probably look for a house sharing situation with three other single or widowed women who might be a little younger than herself, since she is so active for her age. Then Mom asked Dad, "What will you do if I die first?" He replied, "Probably the same thing." |
