There is no new year or birthday. Many people will talk about The freedom that blogging brings but reality is that if you want to make

I love to write and I try to write a lot. In fact, I have written over 3000 entries for my blogs in the last two years. Thus, on an average, I have written nearly 5 entries everyday. I know that there are many bloggers who write 10/15/20 or even more entries each day and

As I promised yesterday, I am going to write a series of entries aboutBangla literature. Well, I am going to use the two words Bangla and Bengali indiscriminately because I believe that while writing in English the name of the language should be Bengali instead of Bangla. Anyway, this is my opinion and you do

When you want to take writing as a profession, you may think at first that it has a lot of freedom. You get free from 9-5 job. Yes, it is true but at the same time, you have to work more. The only good part is that you can work anytime you like. You don’t

In my life, I have seen some people who think that if they become a writer then they must spend more time on smoking cigarette and drinking tea or coffee rather than on the writing process itself. I do not agree with them. Well, I have perhaps similar kind of problem. I give more time

When you decide to become a freelance writer then you decide to embrace all kind of financial uncertainty and insecurities in life. At first, it is very difficult to earn money because it is not easy to get projects. Well, if you are living in third world country like me then you are even in

I know it from my own experience and after reading the lives of many great writers. Do you know Charles Dickens? He suffered a lot in life- especially in early life. It was not his fault that he was born in a poor family. In fact, he had very small scope to study. He had

This is a question that perhaps goes in the mind of any person who wants to be a writer? In the past, I used to think this question is only for people like me living in third world countries like Bangladesh. Here, earning money through writing is very difficult. First of all, the payment by

I was born and brought up in Dhaka. I am a person who has been most of the time confined to this densely popular city. I know that the rest of the country is very beautiful. I visited Chittagong thrice and I was amazed with its beauty. Sylhet is beautiful, Khulana too, Commilla is a

For the last three years, I have been active in Facebook and have talked to many young persons through Facebook, Skype, mobile phone or even in real life. Based on observation and experience, I am giving some advice here: 1. Try to have a reading habit. Reading is a very powerful tool for any educated

This is a question I often come across in different blogs and forums. Some bloggers say that you have post frequently while others feel that you should not post a lot. Now, let us see the arguments of these two sides. Those who feel that you post a lot of entries everyday argue that this

One of my favorite past time is to type against time. I mean that in order to increase my typing speed, often I type in PC about any topic and count the minutes. For example, sometimes, I write about a topic for 20 minutes and I write whatever I like and then after 20 minutes

Now, there are many professional bloggers and some of them are very successful. I feel that my biggest challenge is that I need to overcome all the distractions and give my total attention to blogging. I have written about this matter earlier in this blog too. I feel that I have a number of things

In the media, deadline is a word that we all want to avoid. It is a tough thing to fight with. In blogging, the deadline is even more intense- especially for professional bloggers. You often get the image that bloggers can write about anything and in their own time. This is not true for most

Today, I like to write about Sharat Chandra, the most famous novelist in Bangla (Bengali) literature. Actually, if I am not wrong then Sharat Chandra is perhaps the most famous novelist of South Asia. His novels have been translated into many major languages of South Asia and in India his novels especially Devdas has been

(In the last post I discussed briefly about Sarat Chandra Chatterjee. Today, I like to post the second part of the article.) Why Sarat Chandra Chatterjee is so popular? It is not very difficult to answer this question. Among Bengali novelists, he could first depict social issues and everyday life that touch the ordinary people.

The issue of Persian influence in Bangla literature can be treated from 3 points of views: Use of Persian words in Bangla literature, translations of works from Persian poets and writers and influence of Persian writing, religion, society and philosophy in the works of Bengali poets and writers.

With the name of poet Sukanta Bhattacharya the first thing that comes into my mind is “Ranar,” the famous poem. I read it first in my class five Bengali text book. The poem was letter sung as a song by Hemanta Mukhopaddhay. Shukanta was born in Calcutta in 1926. By the time he grew up

There is little doubt that Shakespeare is most popular dramatist in the whole world. There are other dramatists in other languages but no one could reach near Shakespeare when it comes to popularity.

Caroline Bingley or Miss Bingley is perhaps one of the most annoying characters in Jane Austen’s novel Pride and Prejudice. She is a very good example of a flat character- she does not change at all from the beginning to the end. She is a very selfish and rude girl. The funny thing is that

It seems that today is the day of writing from my heart. When I started blogging, this was my motto that I would write what I feel and what I believe. It is not that I do not do it but may be, I try to make a balance between my feelings and what I

They are two sisters. Jane is the elder one and then is Elizabeth. However, from first, it is perhaps clear to us that Elizabeth is smarter and with stronger personality.

Just 18 months ago, some people laughed at me in Facebook and in real life because I try to encourage others. It is a part of my natural instinct. I have seen magical improvements to a number of people who have spent one year of time with me. The formula is very simple. I ask

After 5 months of trying, e-Commerce World has finally become a group about e-commerce, business, economy and technology. I am satisfied with the group. Good posts are coming but we lack comments.
