International Mother Language Day



International Mother Language Day, popularly known as ‘Shaheed Dibas’, is a red letter day in the history of Bangladesh. In 1952, on this day a number of our brave people laid down their lives for the cause of Bangla language. The UNESCO declared 21st February as the day 'International Mother Language Day' showing respect to the martyrs of our language movement. This declaration has turned a national celebration to an International event. Now the whole world observes the 21st February as International Mother Language Day. Every year on this day, people from all walks of life come to the martyr's monument and offer their clothes. Hundreds of people gather with bare-footed in front of The Shaheed Minar with flowers and garlands. The government, different organizations and institutions arrange programmes to celebrate the day. Newspapers publish special supplements on this day. It is our national holiday. School, college, university and offices remain closed on this day. Our national flag is kept hoisted half mast on this day. Actually, this day possesses a great significance for the whole nation as well as the whole world.

Bengali New Year



The celebration of Bengali New Year is also known as” Nababarsha” and “Pohela Baishakh”. The word “Naba” means “New” and the word “Barsha” means “Year”. Thus, “Nababarsha” means “New Year” in Bengali language. It is a part and parcel of culture. It is the first day of Bengali New Year, in the Bengali Calendar. Our people observe this day with great festivities. The Baishakhi Mela which is celebrated is perhaps the largest festival of Bengali culture. People from all walks of life join this festival in joyous mood. Urban people try to keep a while away from their blind mimicry of western culture and tend to be a Bengali at least this day. In the  village people pass the day meeting one another, giving and receiving invitations, enjoying music etc. by local performers and doing many other festive deeds. Business men open new books of account this very day which is known as Halkhata. Thus Bengali New Year comes with great festivity.

My dear Father,
I received your letter and money yesterday. I am happy to know that you are all well. In the letter, you wanted to know about my preparation for my upcoming M.T. Examination.

You will be glad to know that my preparation for the examination is better than before. You know that I am weak in English and Math. But now, I have overcome this problem because I have joined in a coaching center for better preparation. Moreover, I have already completed all the syllabus of all subjects.

So, I can assure you that I’ll cut a better figure in the upcoming examination.
Don’t worry for me, father. I have no problem here living in the hostel. With regards to you and mother.
Yours affectionately
Joyee

My Dear Samia,
Thank you for accepting my invitation and attending in my birthday party last night. I hope that you enjoyed the party and had a good time with my friends and family members.
I am writing this letter to thank you for the beautiful gift you gave me.  I have become very delighted by getting the book of my favorite writer. You know I already wanted to buy this book. I had had a lot of gifts on that day. But your gift is the loveliest one. I think that your gift is not just a gift; rather it is a symbol of your love for me.
I thank you once again for the nice present on my birthday. Please convey my best regards to your parents.
Your Loving Friend
Joya
