fuchka !

 
If you ask any typical Bangladeshi what is his/her favorite food, I bet they must include Fuchka. Now you might think its a fancy traditional food. No, It's not! It's a street food. You will see a lot of people with a small mini van sell Fuchka. It's really cheap. And girls die for eating Fuchka! We see Fuchkawala (who sells fuchka ) everywhere but specially in front of school/college/university, park, market, shopping mall, stadium, carnival. There is also some restaurant now a days offer Fuchka! But nothing is better than street Fuchka! Teacher, parents used to teach us not to eat street food, they are unhealthy! but you will get addicted to it. Indians call it Panipuri. So now I think, I should say something more about Fuchka Fuchka is a mix of potatoes, chola (chickpeas) boiled in spices, tomatoes, onions, coriander, green chilies topped off with a sweet and sour tangy tamarind juice or sauce. The mixture is same As Chotpoti. But to eat Fuchka you can eat the whole fuchka with one bite, but to eat chotpoti you have to use spoon, people use salad and boiled crumble egg on top of it and use chaat masala. It's really delicious! If you want to try it then a little advice, you might get addicted to this! and if you don't like spicy tell the fuchkawala! Cause it might be superrrrr hot!! I see girls eating fuchka! And that is so spicy that their eyes burn! But they Can’t stop eating that! Statistic says Girls love fuchka more than boys.

History class!

My least favorite subject is US history.  This is the one and only class where I fell asleep. Well sometimes it’s interesting to know all about the new historic thing but trust me sometimes it’s just killing me. In every single day we take test. Why in every day? It’s too much. Seriously I don’t want this class anymore. It’s not a fun class. Especially when I see someone else know better than me. I don’t even know what they are saying. There have a lot of readings which nobody likes. But we have to do that and after that we have to take test even though you don’t get it. But anyway in this sixth week I am missing a lot of test. Somehow I got 65 which is really pathetic. I need redo my test. Tomorrow we have oral test. I don’t know what’s going to happen to me tomorrow. But I hope it will be all ok.

Another thing I don’t like to play games in my history class. There have some stupid educational history games which doesn’t make sense to me. last time we got some paper if you have a dot in your paper then you cant tell anybody and you have to convince people to take you in their group. Those people were the group leader who had the dot. Nobody convinced each other. Everybody was like let’s finished the game somehow. We don’t care we win or not.

One last thing I got to learn many new things which I appreciate. 

wrong day !

I don’t know why people celebrate Valentine’s Day.  Maybe for chocolate or gifts. It sounds kind of mean or funny but its true though. Well I have some prove for that. A few days ago my friend named Seng, she broke up with her boyfriend. But suddenly she realized Valentine’s Day is coming soon. Now she wants to go back with him even though her boyfriend hit her once. But whatever right! Last Valentine’s Day she got four teddy, five chocolate box and seventeen flowers from her boyfriend. This time she also wants those. She will never let someone to have those. For that reason she went to Luis to make up their relation. Luis is a tough boy. But at the end she managed him. Now they celebrate Valentine’s Day happily and got a lot of gifts as she wanted. In another side, I was seeing everybody is walking around with teddy and flowers. They were just showing off that they got something in this day. One of my friends was so upset because she didn’t get anything. That’s why she made up a plan, next time she will but some flowers and teddy by herself and walk around everywhere. That’s funny! But she was so serious. I said “sure”. At least people should do whatever they feel like to do. And specially its make her relief she should do that.

Maybe I am wrong about Valentine’s Day but I don’t feel anything special. It’s not a special day. If it’s only for gifts and chocolate then defiantly it’s a wrong day called love day. tt should be called a present’s day but not a love day.

Kate Chopin’s “The story of an hour” is the story of Louise Mallard, a weak, repressed housewife who is liberated in learning of her husband’s death in a train accident. Louise begins sobbing when Josephine tells her of Brantley’s death and goes upstairs to be alone in her room. Louise sits down and looks out an open window. She sees trees, smells approaching rain, and hears a peddler yelling out what he’s selling. She feels apprehensive and tries to suppress the building emotions within her, but can’t. She begins repeating the word free! to herself over and over again. Her heart beats quickly, and she feels very warm. Louise knows she’ll cry again when she sees Brently’s corpse. His hands were tender, and he always looked at her lovingly. But then she imagines the years ahead, which belong only to her now, and spreads her arms out joyfully with anticipation. Louise knows that she often felt love for Brently but tells herself that none of that matters anymore. Josephine comes to her door, begging Louise to come out, warning her that she’ll get sick if she doesn’t. Louise tells her to go away. She fantasizes about all the days and years ahead and hopes that she lives a long life. Then she opens the door, and she and Josephine start walking down the stairs, where Richards is waiting. The front door unexpectedly opens, and Brently comes in. he hadn’t been in the train accident or even aware that one had happened. Josephine screams, and Richards tries unsuccessfully to block Louise from seeing him. Doctors arrive and pronounce that Louise died of a heart attack brought on by happiness. Chopin reveals in her story that only through assertion of the true self can one find life worth living, and that death of the true self can bring death of the physical self.

                                       

Support The DREAM Act

The DREAM Act can help millions of illegal immigrants obtain legal status in the U.S., which can help the economy through the increased levels of taxable income. There are many people in the U.S. who are not attending college or getting any job. That is a problem of society and also an economic problem. Instead of this, the dreamer can help the society with new citizens who are smart, intelligent and have the confidence to study a lot. Once an illegal immigrant has applied for residency under the DREAM Act, he cannot be deported until his application has been resolved. But still he doesn’t have legal status. These undocumented immigrants are facing a lot of difficulties. Many U.S. students feel that it is unfair to give immigrant people the opportunity to go to college by removing some U.S. students.

Some people think if the DREAM Act bill passed it would be easier for people to come over to the U.S. with their children illegally.  They consider these people “Illegal immigrants,” because after all, it’s illegal. They don’t support the DREAM Act as fair. Their opinion is, no matter how they arrive here, still they are illegal. Another thing they are thinking: illegal people are getting the biggest rewards through the DREAM Act, who knowingly broke the law. Is that affects on U.S citizens that they are not getting this kind of chance that the illegal aliens are being given.

I think people are just mad to see the people who come to this country do much better in it than the people who were born here. Have we all forgotten that this country was founded by immigrants? In the progressive era, the immigrants have the main role for this development. I support the DREAM Act all the way. Give the people who come to this country what they are looking for in it.

            

            Sometimes sudden things can change our life or an unknown person can change our life. In every step we need someone who we can trust and who can take care. I remember when we were in a bad time my uncle who helped us. It turned our life and it helps us to live a life with my family.

My father died when I was little. He had a brain cancer. I didn’t see him that much. My mom used to tell me that my father loved me a lot. He was really happy when I born. My mother tells me, when my father was ill we had a pretty harsh time.  Everyone knew that my father is going to die very soon. That time my uncle and my aunt, they were trying to separate us. They were saying that one of my aunt going to take me and my uncle going to take my brother with them. But they didn’t think about my mom, how she will be ok without us. They just thought after my father die my mom will get married. But my mom didn’t think about it at all. She was thinking that somehow her husband get cured and be with us again. But it didn’t happen.  After few days I woke up in the morning and I saw everybody was crying. Then I started crying too because my mom was crying. Then at night everybody was saying about us. They are going to separate us right now.  Suddenly the environment became so noisy. My mom got scared and she realized that they actually meant to separate us. Then that time my uncle shouted nobody can touch them. They will live with us. Nobody can separate them. You guys didn’t even think how they will survive without each other. It’s a family. It’s not easy to say to separate them. Then my uncle took us with them. We started live with his family. My uncle was my father’s sister s husband. We are thankful to him. And I love him more than my father. Because of him we are still together. He changed our life.

In that time if my uncle weren’t support us; I maybe not live with my mom and brother today. I maybe not see them today. I would be somewhere else apart from my family. My uncle was the only one who thought that. He is admirable person for me. I respect him and I pray for his long life.

Remove racism from our country !

When we hear about racism, many people think, if they have different appearance then they should stay from them. They don’t want to talk to them because they are not look like them. Especially in 16’s century racism was between white and black people. White people thought they are black people so their morals and values are low. The period of 1870-1960 the ‘Jim Crow” laws when millions of African Americans were brutalized. Many of them were killed and frightened for voting and trying to get an education. They had two different restaurants. One is for whites and one is for blacks. There was the concept of lynching, where the whites openly killed blacks. Then many of the African Americans took the migratory step of moving to other parts of the U.S. to search for a better and a peaceful lifestyle. But in the end, many African Americans fought for the U.S. in World War 1 and World War 2.

Perhaps the greatest achievement in the history of African American stands for justice was when Barack Obama was selected to be the first black presidential nominee. He went on to become the first African American man to win the most respected position in the world. Barak Obama is now the 44^th president of the U.S., the national that always neglected and demeaned many Africans Americans.

Racism was not only between blacks and whites. It was also in many different countries.  Some countries were also against the Asians. I noticed everywhere people make fun of Asians. Especially it happens in school. When people see some different colors and appearances from themselves, then they treated those who were different in a different way. Sometimes they used name calling.  I have a friend who is from Cambodia. But he has small eyes. So in school every single person calls him “China,” which he doesn’t like. I have also seen when I go in a store or mall people looked at me like I am from a different planet. Sometimes they also misbehaved. When that happens, I feel like they have done this because I am from another country.
