<p class="MsoNormal">Even before you came to this world, more a hell so to say!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The day you were born your mother struggled to keep you warm;<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Storms howling, the wintery night dark, rain pouring
hard,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">You were shivering, your mother too in the moist cold.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">She taught you good from bad, the virtues of good, the
perils of bad.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">On her death bed she said, hear me out my son, <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">But you survived, you never strayed from your mother’s

<p class="MsoNormal">Yet you didn’t do what others did in your ghetto, nor did
you<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Choose your friends from them. You lived a hard but honest life<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Stayed away from drugs, never took to stealing<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For your mother was a good woman.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">You struggled hard, chose the road less travelled,<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">With your bare hands, how you stand tall towering all the

<p class="MsoNormal">Your time is up, have to go, and you wonder,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">What if you stopped and sat down under the shade of a tree,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A few months, years, even decades ago, watched the flowing
stream,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Your heaven was beautiful even then. What if you stopped

<p class="MsoNormal">On this meadow, with the background of hillocks, intricate
structures,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Trees, branches laden with fruits, flowers creating layers
of colors,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Perfect with rows of fragrant roses, and myriad shrubs,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Color stolen from a rainbow, shifting in gentle breeze,<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Which has covered the sun, taking the twilight away,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The thunders blaring, winds howling ever louder,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A tornado touched down over his field, right in front of
his eyes.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">His years of toil, his love, his pride, right in front of

<p class="MsoNormal">Gone, in a moment of rage of nature, so unnecessary.<o:p></o:p></p>

always think of her in my daily life, there was a lot to do, time was short,
and distractions too many. Leaving home at the age of sixteen I did not see her
again until twenty-four, a long gap, yet the reunion was unremarkable, as if I
was seeing her only after a week or so, such was her personality.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
The earliest memory I have of my
mother was when “Khaka” died and I was devastated. She was an old woman abandoned
by her kin and had no place to live; my grandfather had given her shelter in
our house. She lived in one isolated room of the house and survived on begging.
She would often invite me to eat with her, sharing whatever little she could
manage, and tell me stories. One day, when she could barely walk without a
stick and her vision was faltering, she left our house to visit her ancestral village.
She never reached her destination, died on her way, and the news reached us
several months later.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
To console me, my mother said, when
people died, they became stars, and Khaka had become a star. Since then, I
would wait for darkness to descend on the bamboo grove adjacent to our house,
and try to locate the star that Khaka had become, over the tall bamboo plants.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
My mother had a very strong will
force, rarely seen in people, a striking memory of her is, it was an evening of
<i>Shabe Barat</i> in mid-January, when she took bath with icy water. The night
was deemed to be auspicious, and praying on that night was a custom for the
people of faith. In those pre-electricity days, bathrooms were just a room in a
desolate corner of the house where there was no plumbing, and one had to pour
water from a bucket with a large mug. Although my mother was a devout religious
person, she never forced her views on me.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
We were not rich, lived on a very
tight budget, nevertheless, when people came at our door with begging bowls on
Fridays and other ‘holy’ days, they always got something, a few coins, a little
rice, or lentils, I never saw anyone returning empty handed. Sometime one would
ask for food, the person would be served on banana leaves, and my mother who
always was the last one to eat would share whatever was left. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
Once I left home I never went back
to live there again. I went abroad to live and work, and my visit to home would
always be several years apart, the remarkable thing was every time she would
meet me like she had seen me just a couple days back, never giving me the
feeling that we were estranged for such a long time. At times she would just
sit by my bedside without talking, there was no need for words, her mere
presence was so soothing and enriching to my being. Parting was different
though, she would walk with me as far as I would walk before boarding a
rickshaw; she never cried, yet I avoided her gaze, because it would tear me up.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
Once I settled and rested, on the
next day of every visit my mother would give me a small list with a few names,
names of the people who were not doing very well and needed financial help; someone
needed help for treatment, one’s husband had recently died, another one could not
send her child to school.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="text-indent: 0.5in;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="text-indent: 0.5in;">My mother had no sense of monetary
value, if I asked her how much should I give one, she would respond, give
whatever you think is right. Sometimes, I would ask her jovially, how about 50
rupees? She would say, “Okay”. Then I would say, “But 50 rupees is very
little.” She would answer, “Well, then give her 5000.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="text-indent: 0.5in;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
My mother was a simple person,
didn’t have much education, her values were deeply ingrained however, and she
always taught me with her actions. No sermons, no lectures, simple statements,
and actions. The strongest memory that I have of my mother was probably when I
was 10, or, eleven, and that is why it has such a strong imprint on me. For
whatever reason, once she was very upset with me; she caught hold of me in
front of our house and beat the hell out of me. She was a short but stout
woman, and I was totally helpless. My agony was prolonged because one of my
school teacher who was passing by, watched the incident and he narrated it in
front of the whole class, the following day.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
It was a time when “beating” one’s
off spring was not “politically incorrect,” and literally it was the whole
village that used to take part in the admonishment of kids as they deemed it necessary.
We were afraid not only of our own fathers but our friend’s fathers too. If
they thought we had done something wrong, they would tell us so, reprimand us,
or threaten to tell our fathers, which of course none of us ever wanted. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
When my teacher started narrating my
miserable story in front of the whole class the next day my immediate reaction
was embarrassment, yet at the end, it turned out to be kind of a strange pride.
As I felt some of my classmates were smiling, my ears turned red and I was silently
praying for this saga to end. Then I noticed my teacher’s voice grew louder as
he too noticed all those boys who were laughing; he ordered them to stand up.
He then gave the class a big lecture which I barely followed, then called me in
front of the class and said something to this effect: There is no shame in it,
look at this boy, he is the luckiest among you because he has a mother who
would make sure her son would grow up to become a good man. Whoever among you
have such a mother shall feel proud, and whoever does not, shall wish that he
would.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
Like every mother, my mother left
me one day to become one of the stars, and since that day she is always with
me, shining on me in the darkness of night, hiding in sunlight in the day time,
nonetheless, always loving, guiding, inspiring and carrying me in my darkest
moments when I become fragile and tempting thoughts take over me to give it up,
she tells me, no mother ever leaves a child, however difficult it becomes for
her, she is always there, becoming the unbreakable shield, and she says, don’t
give it up, just try a bit harder, the dark clouds are about to be lifted, and
the brightest day is just to break. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>

While two of a goat’s kids suckle at their mother’s breast the
third one jumps with joy just in anticipation that his turn will come
soon. Notwithstanding, by the time the third one gets his turn there is no milk
left anymore. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The poor and the middle-class Republican supporters are akin to the
third ‘kid’ of a goat. Surprisingly, there is no shortage of them in this country
and they abet the con party perpetuate their control of political power.
Obviously, this control is accomplished by the help of the media, the ‘kids’ nonetheless never comprehend this.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In the USA 90% of the media is controlled by only six major
conglomerates, Comcast, Fox, Walt Disney, Viacom, AT&T, and CBS. It is no
surprise then that these large corporations behave, well like the corporations
do – serve their stake holders’ interest, simply stated, make money for their
owners. The sole purpose of a corporation is to make profit for its owners, and
media owners are no different. Liberal media is a myth, liberals don’t own any
media - all media owners are conservative billionaires. Period.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The ‘kids’ often point out to MSNBC and CNN, and surmise
that since they speak against Donald Trump, they must be liberal, there can
nothing be further from the truth. These media have chosen their business model
based on the study that criticizing Trump makes good business sense, after all
sixty percent Americans disapprove Trump. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Vital issues such as social justice, electoral fraud, purging
of voter lists, healthcare for all, fair tax rate, global warming, increasing
wealth inequality, industrial pollution, unregulated bankster activities and scores
of other life-and-death matters for the populace are never discussed in the
media, not even on CNN, or, MSNBC. Media actually divert peoples’ attention
from the important subjects and keep them busy in insignificant matters.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My blanket condemnation of the Republican Party is by no means
endorsement of the Democratic Party; the latter are just a tad better than the
other only because a small number of Democrat leaders are progressive and embody
their voters’ interest, the rest serve their corporate masters. At the gross
level, both are war parties and serve only the rich and the powerful. The 2018
mid term election saw defeat of many corporate democrats and rise of the
progressives. Is this going to be the new trend, or, just a one-time anomaly?
Only time will tell. Afterall from the advent of agricultural era the rich have
managed to do well for themselves. Their rudimentary method has never changed –
divide and rule; with technology it has even become easier to influence the ‘third
kids’ of the goat by playing them against each other under a sham democracy.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In this age of internet, it is possible to find out the rare
progressive forums, however, that takes effort. Thom Hartmann is one of the
great liberal talk show hosts, nevertheless, the number of his listeners pale
in comparison with Rush Limbaugh’s or Sean Hannity’s. Pulitzer prize winning journalists
such as Chris Hedges, or, Greg Palast are almost unknown to the mass population.

More appropriately, can you not be the third kid of the proverbial

the Dems never learn.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
They lost 2000 Presidency to Bush – stolen by five activist
Republicans hacks on the Supreme Court bench.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
They lost the next one to voter purging and electoral fraud.
Now this is the year 2019. In between they lost numerous seats because of
Gerrymandering and other scams by the GOP fraudsters, but Dems insist on fair
play and moral high ground. ‘So what if the other party plays rough and dirty,
we will play fair’ is their mantra. But that’s not how politics is played, no
where has been and never will be – Read history. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I am tired of these goody-goody, touchy-feely, Mama’s boys
and girls! Literally, immature impractical wannabes.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I need my Reps to be ass-kicking, tough talking, and tougher
acting activists, the likes of Tea Party leaders!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The moralist Dems can’t even see from their high horses what
is happening on the ground. In Virginia Republicans realized that with a
Democratic Governor at the helm, their voter manipulation scheme will be
severely thwarted, so they targeted three rungs of Dem leadership in order to
install a Republican Governor. Once they can do that the Dems can kiss Virginia
goodbye for 2020 Presidential election. But the Dems are naïve and they easily
succumb to the GOP intriguing, and their top leaders condemn Ralph Northam in
unison; the Party of ‘big tent’ must stand on moral high ground!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In a gun fight Democrats take knives and Republicans bring LMGs,
that’s how it has always been. And the Democrats have been massacred every
time; they lose even when they win, what a shame!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
On issues after issues, such as healthcare for all, social
security, wealth tax, and scores of other progressive issues, there is
overwhelming people support, yet, the media lies constantly - America is in the
right of the center! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My foot! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Republicans rule by deceit; with a p-grabbing white
supremacist at the White House we should have seen decent Republicans speaking
out and express their dissent. Donald Trump is emboldened by the whole GOP
mechanism. What he represents is the face of the GOP. It is time to become
strong and vocal, and the progressives must fight back.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I am still placing hope with these new bunch of young ladies
who have been elected to the US congress for the first time. They have balls
that the men lack. Let the new era of progressive fight back begin!<o:p></o:p></div>

<br />
<br />
Science is not God<br />
Born of human quest, of curiosity, it is mere rationalization of thoughts<br />
With persevering observation; all powerful at the hand of ignorant.<br />
Human laws, theories, and hypothesis nothing permanent, none whatsoever.<br />
Long live they may be, so long the learned believe in them.<br />
What is true today, may not be tomorrow, the Truth is imperceptible.<br />
<br />
God is unknowable, not with finite human brain.<br />
God does not die the day we stop believing, we become inconsequential.<br />
God doesn’t need us, we need God, to keep alive hope and our sanity<br />
A little comfort, a little make-belief, from the wise to the unwise.<br />
Time is illusion, life is surreal; dream is real, part we grasp, part we don’t.<br />
There is but One God in you and me and the rest, our belief notwithstanding! <br />
<br />
Science is the discovery of God<br />
Peeling layers of onion, the layers of ignorance larger than ocean.<br />
It’s the journey all encompassing, with ears open, mouth shut<br />
And eyes all wide, the journey never ending, never resting.<br />
Science is God at the end of journey, not to be seen, but experienced<br />
Not to be described but embraced, not with brain, but heart.
<br />

With each step, graduating through <I>Simanaheen</I> and <I>The Spectacular Jihad of Taz Rahim, </I> Rahsaan was announcing his blossoming to a tantalizing storyteller with magical camera lenses.<p>
<I>Bengali Beauty</I> tells the story of a demure Moyna, a medical student who falls in love with Afzal, a striking Radio deejay, while listening to his World Music show during the era of the 70s in Bangladesh. It was an interesting time when a new nation was taking birth, cultural boundaries were being redefined, and young people were rediscovering themselves, enjoying the spirit of new freedom and meanings of life. It is a nostalgic time for the people who were young at the time and will relive themselves through this captivating romance. <p>
Mumtaheena Toya plays an enchanting role in the character of Moyna, and Rahsaan Noor is self-assured and notable in the lead role of the radio deejay. The riveting story spans through interesting sequences ably supported by Mita Rahman played by Sarah Alam, and Ashfique Rizwan in the role of Rafel. The movie is a treat for the eyes and souls of the spectators. <p>
Bangladesh film world has never recovered the loss of the great stalwarts of yester years, and is still looking for bold film makers to fill their vacuum. The movie industry is in desperate search of personalities who can tread a happy medium between art and commercial movies. With <I>Bengali Beauty</I> Rahsaan Noor raises the hope that we are witnessing the bold arrival of a major creator in the Bangladesh movie arena. <p>
The movie is soon to be released in Bangladesh, and in the USA by MovieMax Cinemas in Niles. The movie is also being released in NYC, Dallas, LA, Bay Area, and Virginia, the February 16th weekend. <p>

Never a dull moment, the fight between the Tea Party and the Republican establishment and in its shadow the dance of the Democratic Party where the Corporate Democrats fight to keep the progressives at bay, has given a new meaning to political drama.<p>
Republican Party is the wholly owned subsidiary of Corporate America and Trump’s election victory has given the owners of the Republican Party the trophy that they had dreamt for ages in the shape of the Tax Scum of 2017. <p>
But like everything else even the Corporate America is not monolithic, there are George Soros and the likes of him who realize the pitfalls of drastic wealth gap between the rich and poor can kill the golden goose. <p>
Mankind has gone through these stages, king had all the gold and his rules were golden rules. We now have a couple of hundred kings who rule the world under the guise of democracy and capitalism. The feudal society of the middle ages is in its new incarnation and threatening to wipe out all economic progresses the world has made. <p>
Tom Hartmann, the wisest of radio talk show hosts of America asserts that in every ages there are a group of people who love authoritarian leaders, these people need to be led and they find comfort in being told what to do. In time like this, when all experimental systems are failing, when communism has failed and capitalism is on the wane, when democracy has demonstrated its obvious weakness to maintain balance in large nation states, the extreme right has regained its popularity. It is the nineteenth and twentieth century all over again; it is Hitler and Mussolini in new garbs, just watch the trend in Europe again. <p>
Unjust economic systems lead to violent social upheaval; this is the history of mankind. Ben Cohen understands this, Jerry Greenfield understands this and that is why they join hundreds of other wealth Americans to plead, “We urge you to oppose any legislation that further exacerbates inequality.” The letter further stated. “Tax reform should be, at a minimum, revenue neutral — without using gimmicks like dynamic scoring. We are deeply concerned that revenue loss would lead to deep cuts in critical services such as education, Medicare and Medicaid, and would hamper our nation’s ability to restore investments in our people and communities.” <p>
Will anyone listen?<p>
Not the current administration, the Koch brothers’ controlled Republicans are not smart enough to understand the long term dynamics, they can’t see anything beyond the next quarter. The current Administration sees this opportunity as their lifetime dream fulfillment. They are going to stack the high courts with extreme reactionary political hacks, they are dismantling every safety nets, they call social security and Medicare, in which every American pays into, as entitlements, and they want to destroy all entitlements. <p>
This Administration is against every institution that protects people, they are destroying EPA, repealed water safety regulation, passed law against constitutional rights to sue, dismantling all regulations such as Dodd-Frank, opening up pristine lands to drilling for gas and oil, snatching lands from national parks and giving to their masters. In the short span of four years they are going to set back the nation decades and decades. <p>
The extreme weather, snow storms in the east coast and south is a result of global warming, nevertheless, the current Republican led congress does not have the intelligence to understand this, their Leader openly mocked – we could do with some global warming! How much further damage will they do in the next four years? I shudder with that thought but Americans are in slumber, no one appears to be worried enough except for a few conscious persons such as Tom Hartmann. <p>
I know this will pass, we will see a Democratic-led government in 2020, however, that is no guarantee of a bright future. If the corporate Democrats retain the control of the party, and they run the administration in 2020, we will only be on the fire pan in place of direct fire.

Politicians such as them come and go but the deep-rooted values this country espouses remain integral, only to exhibit it even more strongly to restore our faith in the sublime principles. This morning, John Brennan did that for me in his Tweet to Trump’s threat yesterday.<p>
Former CIA chief John Brennan blasted the President’s warning to cut off financial aid to countries that voted against the US as, “qualities usually found in narcissistic, vengeful autocrats.” Brennan called that behavior, “beyond outrageous.” <p>
We are going through the worst period in the life of the nation when moral rectitude has taken a back seat and the base villainous traits have come to surface predominantly, and it’s not the fault of the current Administration alone. This nation has long forsaken the principles of democracy since the time money in politics have began playing lop sided role. For today’s situation Bill Clinton and Barrack Obama are as much responsible as the two Bushes and Reagan were. L B Johnson, despite his eccentricity and bizarre modus operandi was the last President who served American people, others served the aristocratic class. <p>
Each subsequent President was worse than the other – just think of the financial crisis of 2008, the consequence of unbridled grid of the Wall Street, and not a single bankster went to jail! If you compare the S&L debacle at the time of Ronald Reagan, you have to accept that history shall accord more credit to him than the hero of the liberals, Barrack Obama. <p>
We are so much enamored in the politics of left and right, argument over Democrats and Republicans, we have totally been blindsided to the reality that the Military Industrial complex President Eisenhower warned us about has totally taken over and we didn’t even realize. Nevertheless, we have the power to throw the scum bugs and bring people’s representatives to power. <p>
When three hundred Republican Senators and Congressmen voted for the tax scam that would transfer $3 trillion from the poor to the rich, it is no longer sufficient to vote for the Democrats but what kind of Democrat. We may not like politics but politics likes us, envelops us, and all of us are affected. We need to open our eyes, be involved, recognize what and who serve our interest and bring change to the system with our conscious choice, peacefully, intelligently, and with empathy to other.

Trump fits the mold of third world street politicians who understand nothing else but brute force, in international arena that doesn’t always work. <p>
Following an earlier Security Council resolution vetoed by the US, which stated that the status of Jerusalem must be resolved through negotiations; the United Nations General Assembly today passed a similar measure critical of President Donald Trump’s decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. <p>
Prior to today’s United Nations General Assembly vote, Trump’s hand-picked US Ambassador Nikki Haley relayed President’s warning to cutoff aide to any country if they voted for the measure. The resolution passed by a vote of 128-9, notwithstanding. <p>
Nikki Haley was blunt, “The United States will remember this day when it was singled out for attack in the General Assembly,” adding forcefully, “We will remember it when so many countries come calling on us, as they often do, to pay even more. This vote will be remembered.” <p>
One hundred and twenty eight countries slapped Nikki and Donald on both cheeks, and thirty five other nations shared the fun by abstaining. <p>
Before the voting began, Mevlut Cavusoglu, the Foreign Minister of Turkey said, “We were all asked to vote no or face the consequences. Some even threatened to cut development aid. This is bullying. It is unethical to think that the votes and dignity of member states are for sale.” <p>
What does a bully do when his bluff is called? <p>
He stops bullying, that’s what is expected from a reasonable person, though.
