http://www.blogigo.com/bangladesh Dear Friend: This is a blog that does not describe about the country Bangladesh, but a Bangladeshi who likes his own culture and heritage and sometime very chauvinist, who try to compare his dialectic views with western culture and society. <br><br> Do you read also European books? Specifically continental European writers like Satre, Kafka, Kanetti, Grass or some classic writer Goethe, Schiller, Balzac, Hugo? 30 years before as I came to Europe I was interested to read all those writer. I mate also personally with Grass, the German Nobel prize winner of 1992 and made an interview. I do like to discuss with you about cultural affinity of Bengali people in general. You see, I can not communicate with you only in „one word“ that you spoke recently. No it is wrong to think that mans are one word creature, we need to discuss elaborately so that a clear understanding of what takes place in the background… okay, now you know I am not a person who just move on the surface I go deep in the matter… sometime I don’t find the correct words but I hope you understand me, or help me to find the correct word. en bangladesh bangladesh Wed, 16 Jan 2008 21:55:00 +0100 daily 1 Wednesday, January 16, 2008 Condolence for Selim Al Deen [Selim Al Deen on Tagore&#39;s plays Rabindranath Tagore wrote and directed plays that are unique for their blend of the indigenous and European theatre forms -- a blend so subtle that it almost appears natural. And because of these unique plays, the master playwright has acquired a supreme position in the era of &#39;Public Theatre&#39; in the subcontinent, which was highly influenced by the European theatre. And it is Tagore who gave a modern presentation of indigenous culture and emotion of Bengalis in his plays Tagore did not go for British poetic style of dialogue diction. Al Deen said, &quot;When TS Eliot suggested plays in verse form, Tagore wanted it in prose form. His logic was that the Bengali language has a unique rhythm, which is evident even in the prose.&quot; ] We express our deep condolence for eminent dramatist and teacher of Jahangir Nagar University Selim Al Deen on his...

I heard it once said by a dear friend of mine, &quot; that often writing isn&#39;t a reflection of experience so much as a substitute for it, an &#39;instead of&#39; rather than a &#39;reliving&#39; &quot;. Of course as a &quot;writer&quot; or should I say somebody who enjoys writing, in my &#39;former&#39; life I could have witnessed, heard, being involved in some of the situations I recount or learnt along the way to understand the predicament of the &#39;condemned&#39; person or it all could have been in my present life, oooh what an all too consuming thought. Writing for me at times can be challenging, I wonder if I am burdening the reader with self-indulgent prose, unrealistic characters and bad editing. Hiding behind a &quot;fictional story&quot; maybe?...

Yet according to the last year’s report by Mahila Parishad the number of women falling victims of social injustice did not improve. As we celebrate women’s day, and our netris make “speeches” on empowering women in Bangladesh, let’s look at some facts. Below are some very sad and alarming statistics (based on a report by Mahila Parishad, the actual number is likely to be much larger) — 6,054—-Total reported number of women tortured and killed 967—— Number of women raped and also tortured 141 —— Number of victims of molestation 176—— Number of victims of acid burn 71 ——–Number of victims of arson 342—— Number of women and children trafficked (18 sold to brothel) 274—— Number of victims in dowry related crimes (tortured by husband and in-laws) 478——...

This is animality synonyms, animality antonyms. The animals doesn‘t follow the definition of reproduction theory of human. We the humans are suppose to be civilized and sex is for us an intimate affaire.

Ginsberg saw the sufferings of people in Bangladesh and India during the war of liberation. His strong interpretation of such a poem remember me the year 1971 (I was a college atudent and fought for the freedom). He was an American poet, socialist, activist and member of the American Academy and Institute of Arts. In the 1960s, while vigorously participating in the anti-Vietnam War movement, he published several poetic works, including Reality Sandwiches (1963) and Planet News (1969). Allen Ginsberg, master poet of Beat Generation received the National Book Award for 1974. He died at the age of 70 in 1997. I wish you all the best in this last days of September 2006 (35 years after the war of liberation). -Monaz Haque Sat, 30 Sep 2006 23:03:00 +0200 http://www.blogigo.com/bangladesh/September-on-Jessore-Road-Allen-Ginsberg/2/ http://www.blogigo.com/bangladesh/September-on-Jessore-Road-Allen-Ginsberg/2/ I wrote a poem just for you Jacquie, let me know your opinion   -Monaz Haque Indestructible Hunger I need to kiss, to live I need to love, to know I need to feel, to test I need her, I want her I will never guess her I must give her up !
