25 august 2023

In the middle of May, I got a chance to visit Sylhet, the picturesque city located in the northeastern part of Bangladesh.Sylhet had always intrigued me with it's lush tea gardens,stunning landscapes and rich cultural heritage.Eager to uncover it's hidden treasures,I embarked on a memorable journey to sylhet,a place that would leave an indelible mark on my heart.                    




                                                                                                                                                                                                                            As I entered sylhet,I was immediately mesmerized by the vast tea estates that stretched as far as the eye could see.The tea gardens with their perfectlt manicured rows vibrant green leaves,provided a serene backdrop for my exploration.Walking through the gardens,I was lost in green and had the opportunity to taste the world renowned Sylheti tea,known for it's distinctive flavour and aroma.                                                                                                                                                                                                              My next stop was Jaflong,a place of outstanding natural beauty.Located on the banks of river,Jaflong captivated me with it's rolling hills,crystal clear water bodies and captivating stone quarries.The boat ride allowed me to immerse myself in the tranquility of the surrounding. Then I went to Ratargul swamp forest,a hidden gem in Sylhet offered a unique and immersive experience.As I ventured into

the swamp forest,the lush greenery engulfed me creating a serene atmosphere.The boat riding was enjoyable.                                                                                                                                                                                   I was very excited to touch the clean water of  Sadapathor.The view of Cherrapunji located at Meghalaya in India just after the border was eye-catching.The next place was Mayabi waterfall.The cold water of Mayabi waterfall enveloped my body, washing away the fatigue of the journey leaving me feeling refreshed and revitalized.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           My journey through Sylhet was a remarkable experience that left me captivated by natural wonders,cultural richness and warm hospitality.Wish I could stay there long.

Path to Meaningful Work: Why Following Your Passion Might Not Be the Answer

Image
Unveiling the Hidden Truths of Passion and Career Hey there, fellow readers! Today, I want to dive into a thought-provoking concept that has been a staple of career advice for as long as I can remember: "Follow your passion." It sounds dreamy, right? The idea is that doing what you love will lead you to eternal job satisfaction and boundless joy. But what if I told you there's more to the story? Buckle up as we explore an alternative perspective inspired by Cal Newport's eye-opening book I read recently, "So Good They Can't Ignore You" which reveals a fascinating contradiction: while society encourages us to follow our passions, many accomplished individuals, including the iconic Steve Jobs, didn't precisely adhere to this principle on their path to success. The Steve Jobs Paradox: A Lesson in Contradiction “You’ve got to find what you love…. [T]he only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking, and don’t...

"Movies: More Than Entertainment. "

Image
A movie is  a form of entertainment. People don't usually watch movies to change their lives, but sometimes a movie can change our perspective in life. It can show you a new way of looking at things and how to live. That movie becomes a part of who you are. People do many productive things when they have free time, but that's not what I do. I like to watch movies when I'm free. Among all the movies I've seen, if I have to talk about a favorite, I would choose "Dear Zindagi". It's my go-to movie when I want to feel comfortable.  "Dear Zindagi" tells the story of a young girl named Kiara and how she deals with feeling sad and lost. I liked the movie the first time I saw it.  The movie is about Kiara (played by Alia Bhatt),a cinematographer who has problems in her mind because of a tough childhood. It shows how she meets Dr. Jahangir Khan (played by Shahrukh Khan), a doctor for the mind and how he helps her with her problems. The movie wants to  bre...

What brought you solace as a teenager?

Image
  Why do books and poetry provide me with solace? Growing up I was never fond of books. I couldn’t comprehend how individuals spent their time-consuming piles of words and utilizing it as their source of entertainment. Whereas I occupied my free time playing video games. Until one day, I got my hands on “The picture of Dorian Gray” by Oscar Wilde. It was a suggestion by one of my friends. Oscar Wilde really seemed to capture the very essence of my soul with his choice of phrases, and I was bound to dig deeper into the entity of poetry and hard covered books. Obsessing over “Oscar Wilde” and “Lancali” quotes shaped my daily schedule. I started reading at the prime age of eleven and dived really into poetry at the age of fourteen. Being a teenager is a very tough and significant time for every being as it is the period where you find yourself fragmented most of the time and I was glad to find myself being rescued by books. It was my safe place, my home and my escape from reality. ...
