                          The day she was born, she changed her father's regular, daily life. He could no longer be the carefree man he used to be as she put heaps of responsibilities on his shoulder.  |

                          What a country has to offer to backpackers is its overall image, or brand. Bangladesh will, one day, be chosen by the people across the world for jobs, tourism, sports and its products.  |

                          Prof. Shireen Huq 
                          He theme for today's conference is “english 4 today”. The spelling, I have been told by formidable persons with Johnsonian authority, is “not the thing” for a formal affair like a conference!  |

                          When it comes to Dr. Kazi Anis Ahmed, Director of academic affairs ULAB (University of Liberal Arts), the idea of a fiction workshop is as vital as being fond of writing and willing to reach out to different reader groups through publications.  |

                          Life is a bit different in space, even for microbes. Creatures were found living on the space station before the first astronauts went inside, such as viruses and fungi.  |

                          Back in schooldays, when my teacher would give me this topic to write an essay or a paragraph, without any second thought, I would start scribbling on the copy and continue writing till my imagination ended.  |
