Did she have to die for cheating?
Backstory: https://www.dhakatribune.com/bangladesh/dhaka/2018/12/04/viqarunnisa-school-students-demonstrate-in-front-of-campus This might be an unpopular opinion – but I honestly believe that in a largely broken education system, cheating is actually okay. I have taken 2 courses at University this semester, whose professors can explain why. In one course, an Ex-Chairman of Dhaka University’s CSE department teaches. Brilliant teacher. Incredibly challenging course. In his…

Why are’t you living your life in the moment?
I don’t really understand people who had the privilege to get front row tickets to the Folk Fest, but wasted every single video with their phones coming in the way of the professional cameras. Deepshit, you have enough money/influence. Now enjoy life from the front row. You don’t need to validate your existence by posting…

The relation between alone and lonely.
Being alone and being lonely are two completely two different things. Have you ever thought about that?

Why do I judge smokers?
Ask yourself, if you knew someone who didn’t even have the very little amount of self control in order to not do something that they themselves know is going to harm them, then are they really dependable people? Let’s say the whole smoking walabaloo is a cliff. Someone who drives off a cliff with the…

আরও বাংলা বই প্রয়োজন!
Over the past few months, I have realized that Bangla books tend to be a quick source of knowledge. Your average one is barely 200 pages (on a large font), and is never more than a 2 hour read. Plus, they are all shiny, and you don’t have to suffer from the piracy guilt.

Do you need a gorgeous female front desk executive?
Job adverts for front desk executives are the most repressive, discriminatory, and illogical in the country. No, you don’t need a beautiful girl to be the “face of your company”. People in this position just need to be helpful and organized. Anybody beyond their teenage years can pull this off with proper guidance. এবং ফ্রন্ট…

What is the peculiar thing at any Bangladeshi University?
University Clubs handing out business cards is the most cringe-worthy affair that an undergraduate student can be a part of. Peculiar? Atleast to me (ง •̀_•́)ง

Who is Eshpelin?
I have genuine well-wishers who I only know as Portugal, or Kuwait, or Congo. Half of theme even believe that I really am Eshpelin. Strange times we live in.

How much cheese too cheesy?
Dabbing a pizza/pasta with a tonne of cheese doesn’t make it extra tasty. It just turns into an abomination that is only good for Instagram. The earlier you wake up to it, the better it is for the food scene.

The Dissociation problem with Pathao, Pran, and Bangladeshi Companies as a whole!
A couple of days ago, it transpired that Pathao had been uploading all SMS/Texts from User’s phones to their server – un-encrypted and open to MIM attacks – which can typically be considered as a terrible way to harvest private data. Their response to the public outcry? পাঠাওয়ের কাছে এসব তথ্য সম্পূর্ণ নিরাপদ ও সুরক্ষিত…

Why is cheesecake so important?
Bangladesh is probably the only country where, at a time of grave national crisis – the biggest news that reporters can come up with is that Piyaru Baburchi made Chicken Biriyani, Cheesecake was on the menu, and Porjoton Corporation supplied waiters.

How important is impact factor?
Simple answer: Donna Strickland’s Nobel winning paper (2018) was not published in Science or Nature, but in “Optics Communications” – A very confined disciplinary journal with an impact factor of 1.887

Need an ambition?
Here, is an easy one: be so important in life, that if you close a door, that becomes international news.

What should be the goal of humanity?
Sometimes, have you ever thought of what would be collectively good for the world? In a crazy world where you have to choose between Thanos against China’s one-child policy, which one would you choose?

The thing about national pride
Somehow, I have come to believe over the years that the concept of national pride in Bangladesh is extremely skewed. Its a case of Woo Suk Hwang being proud of fabricating his stem cell research case and saying that at-least he had the idea to fabricate it! You see, I have an idea that pride should…

The thing about misleading statistics
Backdrop: This piece is based on a certain incident when a Bangladeshi Lawmaker laughed on national television at the death of 3 children in a road accident, saying that India’s death rate per hour is 16 – and that this is not an issue for us to fuss about. – Throwing around controversial statistics like…

Can we predict Dyscalculia using performance/result statistics?
Dyscalculia is a specific learning disability in math. Kids with dyscalculia may have difficulty understanding number-related concepts or using symbols or functions needed for success in mathematics. I have come across the term very recently while researching for PO, and one of the first things that come to my mind as I read about it was…

Defining stuff outside a class – the cool Dartlang Feature
Coming from a java background, I think I had it hammered into my brain that we must stuff every variable or function inside a class. Partially because it makes us think that this OOP Paradigm is the mother of all paradigms, or maybe just because there is no other way to handle this. But sometimes,…

Does your religion define you?
Here is something I have been thinking for a while – whatever your religion may be, it acts as a code for your standards and opinions. You do things that your religion asks you to do, and avoid the ones that it asks you to avoid. Even including the time when you believe that religion…

What amazes you?
The famous physicist Richard Feynman once said: “You know, the most amazing thing happened to me tonight … I saw a car with the license plate ARW357. Can you imagine? Of all the millions of license plates in the state, what was the chance that I would see that particular one tonight? Amazing!”

Are books redundant?
Oren Harari once said, “The electric light did not come from the continuous improvement of candles”. Now, candles are great – romantic and whatnot. But do you sometimes see a relationship between candles and books?

The very model of a modern Major General
Initially, I came across this video while researching for a thesis on Music. Strange world, I know. But I think you should listen to this. And in your free time, read the comment that was below it too: I am the very model of a modern office manager though I admit that title is a…

Have you heard of Passive Haptic Learning?
We have all heard of how haptic feedback is good for the brain. But have we really explored the world that it opens up?
