THE PDF SUMMER CHALLENGE: FULFILLING OUR INHERITED RESPONSIBILITY

Everyone,at one point of their life, wants to help out the underprivileged, but the unfortunate thing is, their endeavor gets stuck there; they ONLY want to help but do very little to make it happen. After my exams, I wanted to get out of the shackles of sloth and DO something productive.When I say 'DO', I do not mean creating pointless EVENT PAGE or superfluous GROUPS in Facebook and spam everyone's inbox claiming to RAISE AWARENESS among the mass public, but I mean going out to the field and engage in active social work. And when I was introduced to THE PDF SUMMER CHALLENGE, I knew it would give me the perfect platform to help the helpless.

PDF(Physically-Challenged Development Foundation) is a non-profit organisation aiming to help,as the name suggests, the physically challenged people in our country.It's primary aim is to help the young ones with physical disability.Thus, it has chosen CRP(Center for the Rehabilitation of the Paralyzed) in Savar to instigate its first project, and so began THE PDFSUMMER CHALLENGE.

In a nutshell, the Summer Challenge consists of 15 teams comprised of students from all over the city ranging from school to college students.Each team is suppose to come up with their own idea with the basic ideology of helping the underprivileged people of Dhaka,along with helping the children given shelter and treatment in CRP.

Let me introduce you to you our team, TEAM KICKASS, and as the name suggests, weKICKASS for the greater good of the society! We are planning to implement our project in TWO phases(Yes,we are that awesome! ) involving both the inhabitants of CRP and the common underprivileged people on the streets through a project called PROJECT INTERNAZIONALE.

PHASE ONE involves distributing dates imported from SAUDI ARABIA directly to the people inCRP, enabling them to taste a luxury, to taste the fruit which bore from the very soil where Muhammad (SA) once walked.We are hoping to flush them with spirit of Ramadan, directing them to a calm path, showing that there is still hope.

PHASE TWO involves giving a the residents of a particular slum with FREE DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT with the help of our senior brothers,Basit Abdul and Saad Andalib,studying inDMC and BMC respectively. We will, moreover, give them the address of few of the places which provides FREE FRIDAY HEALTH SERVICE, so they can keep healthy all throughout the year.

Finance from all of these is coming primarily from donations collected from our FNF, teachers and staffs, school students, anyone we can shamelessly ask for! As the projected expense has not been met yet (not everyone gets what a noble and awesome task we have undertaken sadly), we welcome any kind of donation you can muster. We can guarantee that your money will not go to any kind of waste and will be fully employed to help the needy. If you are interested in donating,please contact me through my mail: azmain_don@yahoo.com. Wish us luck but do you know what works better than luck?Money!

P.S. You will be rewarded seventy times the amount you donate in this Sacred Month! No sane man or woman should let this chance slip.Just a thought....! :P

The Others

Just finished watching the fourth episode of season 4 and I noticed a couple of things. The way the episode portrayed the Others was extremely intriguing since the books do not divulge too much information about this icy mystique. In the episode, we first sense that the Others are about to come when we see the poured water freezing in front of Ghost. Whenever the Others appear, the temperature drops or they appear WHEN the temperatures drop. Research about them is scarce, as Samwell Tarly says in book five (small spoiler, sorry!). Whatever the case, they are correlated with a drop in temperatures. If you see water freezing instantly, you better get your dragon steel ready. We then see one of the Other taking the sacrificed baby on a horse to a mountain. This is where things get really interesting. The one riding the horse is the familiar Other. We have seen him before. He was the one leading the attack against the Night's Watch men on Fist of the First Men. But the second Othe...

Criss Angel Mindfreak: The Wizard of AXN

I'm pretty sure most of us is familiar with Criss Angel, and with good reasons.He is an American illusionist,magician, escapologist and stunt performer. Note that I wrote illusionist first, cause that's what Criss likes to think of himself. His show, Criss Angel Mindfreak, is broad casted on AXN on Wednesdays, at 16:30 GMT. Believe me, his illusions are mindblowing, and apparently impossible! But that's what Criss is best at;making the impossible seem normal! Allow me to give an example. Criss Angel has set himself the target of walking across Lake Mead,the largest lake in US. And he does succeed.He walks on water for about 200 yards.Now, remember people, its a lake.So it rules put any theories of plexiglass pillars.Moreover, Criss, at the end of his walk, start to sink under the water, eventually disappearing completely! The illusion is simply awesome, and many critics have failed to provide an explanation for this! One explanation says " He had completed construction...

Here's to Beethoven's 9th

This week was a LONG one. I didn't sleep a single day stress free, but heck, that's what college life is all about! Right now, I am way out of my comfort zone in my class. I'm taking Music in Stanley Kubrick's films, and I have no knowledge about music. I am learning how to describe music and all these new terms. Sometimes, it feels a bit overwhelming, with 2 tests, one presentation and 1 weekend project every week. But in the midst of all these chaos, I found one thing: Beethoven's 9th. I cannot describe the music maestro's 9th symphony and that's what is most beautiful about this masterpiece. Its everything and nothing at the same time. Its life made sound. Its energy made vibrations. Those crescendos takes you up high in the sky and let's you fly. It lets the emotion flow through your body smoothly. And the 4th movement fills you up with this inexplicable happiness. Oh! When they start the chorus, I feel something running through my body- something...
