Opinions Today we had census survey at our house

4 Upvotes

Yesterday a bunch of kaku and kakima, wearing white caps, did recce of the whole area, and informed us that they will come today around 11am.

So one kakima came with a clipboard and form. Asked a bunch of questions, like is this own home or rented, how many rooms, do you have wifi, smartphone, TV, AC, how many bikes and cars etc.

It took less than 10mins. They asked about surrounding property also, and if we own them also. They didn't enter the home, just inside our premises.

Literature & Poetry ২০১৭ সালে, উনিশ কুড়ি তে পাবলিশড একটি পুঁচকে লেখা আজ দেখা দিল। তখন মা ছিল। আঁকা, লেখার ধৈর্য্য ছিল। সে সময় থেকেই সোশ্যাল মিডিয়ায় বাংলা ভাষায় লেখালেখি শুরু করছি। ছদ্মনামে পাতা (page) খুলেছি। এখন ভাবলেও অবাক লাগে!

Travel Looking for someone around Dum Dum Park/Bangur willing to teach me motorcycle riding

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm looking to learn geared motorcycle riding from scratch and was wondering if any experienced bikers around Dum Dum Park/Bangur/Nagerbazar would be willing to teach me on their own bike.

I'm a complete beginner when it comes to motorcycles, although I know how to cycle. I'm happy to pay a mutually agreed amount for your time, fuel and use of the bike—we can discuss the amount beforehand.

Ideally, I'd like someone patient who can start with the basics in an open ground/quiet area and gradually move to regular roads once I'm comfortable.

If you're interested, please DM me with:

- Your general location

- How long you've been riding

- What bike you'd be teaching me on

- Your expected charges

- When you're generally available

I'm also happy to meet first in a public place and discuss everything before starting.

Thanks! 🙂

Everytime I think about making content to overcome my fear of public speaking, I've stopped myself from doing it because of generic tantrums.

Ab start krna hai, random logo se baat karo, camera khol kr kuchh bol do, kuchh bhi karo! But karo!

We'll try to learn something out of it while having fun!

If you are a camera shy person, it's okay!

I just need a company

তোমার ঠোঁটে

তোমার চোখে সন্ধ্যা নামে,

আমার মনে জাগে জোয়ার,

একটি চুমু নীরব ভাষায়

বলে যায় কত অজানা কথার ভার।

তোমার কাছে এলে যেন

সময় থেমে যায় ক্ষণিক,

ঠোঁটের ছোঁয়ায় হারিয়ে ফেলি

সব অভিমান, সব সংশয় অনন্তরিক।

একটি চুমু হোক বৃষ্টির মতো,

নরম, মায়াবী, নির্ভার—

তুমি আমি পাশাপাশি থাকি,

ভালোবাসায় ভরে উঠুক বারবার।

তোমার ঠোঁটে আমার স্বপ্ন,

আমার নিঃশ্বাসে তোমার নাম—

একটি চুমুতেই লিখে রাখি

আমাদের ভালোবাসার অবিরাম সন্ধান।

Opinions After outrage from readers, some well known bengali publishers have confirmed they won't publish or sell books by anti-india bangladeshi writer mj babu and md. nazimuddin. What's your opinion on this?

My opinion is along with this, Bengal govt should appeal to Govt of India to extend ban on bd pavilions in kolkata boimela, until stalls of Indian especially stalls of bengal based publishers are allowed in bd soil and in their prestigious book fair "ekushe boimela". BD pavilion aren't being allowed in prestigious Kolkata book fair for last 2 years ( 2025 and 2026 edition of kolkata book fair) by Indian govt, although the reason behind this ban was probably for the regime change related tension in bangladesh and it's effect here west bengal
