Source picture for the A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words contest


What I see

A man is standing on a mountain peak over clouds, looking at a distant light source.


What I feel

The darkness will be removed when the light arrives, but how long will we have to wait? How much bloodshed we would have to see?



Some Talks

It is not a story. I am not in a state of mind to write a story for all the things that have happened in my country Bangladesh for the last 10/12 days. If you know, then you know, if you do not know, you will probably never know. But if you are interested, you can search as several international media covered it.

We are going through a hard time. For their rights, the students raised their voices. The arrogant fascist government has taken the hard line. The government has proved its student wing to attack the students who were protesting. They were ferocious and even beat girls, when the next day, the common students fought back, and the government sent police, and border guards who rained rubber bullets, tear shells, and sound grenades. Throughout the history of our country, whenever the oppressor crossed the line, the students were the ones to bring them down.

To prevent organizing students this so-called 'Digital Bangladesh' was cut off from the internet, yes, we were kind of out of the world for 5 days! In the meanwhile, all they did was genocide and clean up the mess. The government issued curfew and the Army has been on the roads since then, they were given the order to shoot at sight! The official record says the death toll is around 200 but who knows what is the actual number?

We all can hope that the sun will rise and shine upon us and will bring back peace in this country. But, will that be enough for the mourning families who lost their sons, brothers, and much more???
