Infinite time, finite resources: How to spend the vacation.

Image
By
The vacation has started for most of us. And will start for many. I, myself, am having a tough time figuring out what to do. There is just too must leisure time, isn't there? And we all know: too much of anything is bad. Here is a list of suggestions of how to spend your time.

1.Hook yourself up with TV shows- This is, according to me, and I know many would agree, the best possible way to kill your time. Try to manage the complete seasons of TV shows. Okay, not ONLY complete series, collect ALL the seasons of the show. I can guarantee, once you get hooked, you will find time rocketing through. The TV shows that I find intriguing,enjoyable,lovable and ultimate time killers are:

*PSYCH(4 seasons)-Comedy and thriller
*Band of Brothers-War,Drama.
*The Pacific-War,Drama.
*Bones-Thriller.
*Two and a Half Men-Comedy
*Castle-Thriller
*Warehouse 13-Fantasy,Thriller.
*And of course, FRIENDS-comedy.

There are many more which are shrouded in my head. How will you get the shows? Well, I don't know.I am only giving the advices.The Pacific is telecasted in HBO(Sunday,1130 BD time).Castle and FRIENDS are telecasted in Star Worlds(Monday to Thursday,930 to 10 and 10 30 to 11 30 respectively.)

2. Write something- I know people are going to be calling names after reading this subtitle, but trust me, writing will bring some peace and will , undoubtedly, exhaust some time. Take your time to write your diaries or journals. Even better, open a blog. Then people like me can spend some time reading them too.

3.Outdoor Sports- Remove all shackles that bind you to the four walls and sprint out to Mother Nature! This will help you in many levels: burn all those useless fluffy fats in your body, intensify your sleep, boost up your stamina and strength, and of course, kill time which you really want!

4.Go to the library- This is enormously helpful when the load shedding starts and you are bored, as the power to the TV and your PC just got slashed. Go to the library, enjoy the air conditioner, and read something.It does not necessarily have to be a book.Just pick up the latest Reader's Digest or Rolling Stone issue, and delve into another world.If you want a name of a place,I go to the American Centre Library,in Banani

5.Gaming- Now this is my personal favorite. Get on online gaming in your nearest game zone and start shooting the hell out of everything.You can try the latest games in your PC or any gaming portal.I would recommend: Assassin's Creed 2, Prince of Persia:The Forgotten Sands, Dragon Age,FEAR 2, Bioshock, FiFa 2010, PES 2010.

6.To Do List- Before going to bed, try to make a to do list.This will help you to manage your time, give you HOPE that there ARE things to do, make you more sleepy before you go to bed, and kill some time while doing it.

I think you can spend a couple of months doing these stuffs.Enjoy the vacation. And if any one the seasons of the above mentioned TV series, please make me a creditor by giving them to me( of course I will return them!).

    I guess it falls under Go to Library Section but I figured out that not many people love reading books.I will give Agatha a try after I finish Hakan' Nesser's The Mind's Eye. If u can, try reading David Baldacci's Stone Cold! Its the second BEST Secret Service novel after The Bourne Series.

Enemy of Israel:Hamas or Peace?

By
There are limits to everything, and I think no one should be above the law.Not even small Nations which tries to muscle its way to the throne of power.The incidents that occurred, and are occurring in the Gaza strip and all over Palestine have provoked me to write this article.Don't get me wrong, I am not at all against Israel or Jews people. I respect them equally as everyone;see them in the same light as I see Muslims.It's just that some of their actions,which are unacceptably increasing nowadays, are just sheer inhumane and I would like to point them out.If I sound too harsh, then know ,its not directed to all the Israelis, but only to those who are responsible for the massacre of Palestinians and who hinder the Middle Eastern peace process. Where to begin? Let's start with one of the most heinous genocide carried out by the Israeli military in Gaza on 27 December 2007.They started with air strike, and then exacerbated the situation by ground strike. It left about 1400 ...

The O Level Experience.

By
It has been a long and grueling week so far. The mid of the exam is reached,and I use the first liberty I get to share my little ongoing experience with everyone.Don't make the mistake of thinking that the exam is over, as its not.I just have a little free time. For me the exam started on 10th May.Since then I have been only seeing pages and only pages infront of me. Lets start with the beginning. I stepped out of car to be greeted by the scene of a mass crowd, surprisingly consisting more of adults than students, frantically moving here and there. The astronomical number of adults made me confused of where I am actually.Then I learned that in exams, with every single candidate, at least two guardians are clamped together; this actually is a feature of O level examinations. I begin my entrance to the examination hall, with biology paper 1 as the first exam. I was checked and rechecked for God knows what by a serious looking guard.The contortion of his face suggests that he was look...

Brazil,Argentina and Bangladesh

By
Any foreigner, visiting Bangladesh during the World Cup Football, will definitely be confused over our nationality.He even may have second thought about where he is actually. I mean who wouldn't? Seeing all the buildings, big and small, wrapped and re wrapped in either Brazilian flag or Argentine flags, or simply just both. It seems we forget our nationality for this one month of footballing spectacle. I go out to take a walk, and see two Brazil flags surrounded by five Argentine flags, with either a Germany or England flag in the middle which is just unrecognizable amidst the Blue and Green. One day, on my way to coaching, I saw one of the most bizarre thing.A small Brazil flag was fluttering proudly on the rooftop of GERMAN High Commission premise! I don't know to whom the flag belonged ,maybe the guards or janitors, but the scene was.....bizarre!Anyway,if it was the guard, then salute man! Rickshaws with small flags attached to their handlebars were a common site.And I alway...
