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

Bermuda Triangle: The Devil's Lair

Many people argue, that it doesn't exist. And, you won't find it in any map.The U. S. Board of Geographic Names does not recognize the Bermuda Triangle and does not maintain an official file on it. However, within this imaginary area, many real vessels and the people aboard them have seemingly disappeared without explanation. The Bermuda Triangle is located off the Southeastern coast of the United States in the Atlantic Ocean, with its apexes in the vicinities of Bermuda, Miami, Florida, and San Juan, Puerto Rico. It covers roughly 500,000 square miles. The main mystery surrounding the Devils Lair is of unusual and unsolved disappearances o f many ships and planes.According to Llyod's of London reported 428 missing vessels throughout the world between 1955 and 1975.But, the report only contained huge vessels which were insured.Gian J. Quasar, author of "Into the Bermuda Triangle: Pursuing the Truth Behind the World's Greatest Mystery" , later found out 300 mis...

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...

Dream or Reality: Which one should we chase?

Dreams and reality are like the Yin-Yang. Opposite, but intertwined. You will find them mutually inclusive in extreme rare cases of extremely fortunate people. But, for normal people like us, we have to sacrifice one to get the other. Why, you ask? Picture your dream; where do you see yourself? Relaxing in a beach in the Bahamas with a cold drink in hand, with the gentle breeze caressing your tanned fit body? Now imagine the cost of such a vacation and all the other horrendous logistics that go with such a vacation. You get what I’m getting at? So, which one should we give more priority to? Should we open our mind gates and dream the wildest of our dreams? Or should we force our brain to be calculative and practical? After all, be practical and rational will pay your bills. Being an IBAite, I can give a firsthand run down of my experience regarding this issue. Let me start saying that I’m a science person. From a very tender age, I dreamt of wearing a dazzling white lab...
