LIFE AS IT IS

I cannot digest the idea of buying a concert ticket for Tk. 50,000 or Tk. 1 lakh. Some expenses do not make sense to me. No, it is not about affordability alone. I can afford a Louis Vuitton purse but I have not been able to make myself purchase one because that would be a senseless expense. In a country where people do not have food to eat and clothes to wear, spending $1,000 or more for a concert ticket makes no sense to me.

We live in an age where we have too many unhappy people. The world is much more technologically advanced, communication is easier and faster than it  ever was, many of the countries that were once poor are doing better economically, millions of people are doing better professionally and financially than their earlier generations, and yet we have so many unhappy people around. We are still looking for the answer to that one question: what really makes a person happy? It's probably true that happiness is a relative term.

A wool carpet will shed like there is no tomorrow! Think twice before making an investment in a wool carpet.

Some people remember a favor forever, and others forget it in the blink of an eye.

If you see too many coincidences then it's probably safe to say that they are not coincidences. 

Happiness is helping a friend in his pursuit.
