Today the topic is about tiger
There are 5 different types of tigers in the world.
1. Siberian Tiger: Siberian tigers are very muscular they have large head.

2. Bengal Tiger: Bengal tigers can be found in Bangladesh , Bhutan, India and Nepal. They are only 2500 adult tiger population are remaining. they are highly engendered.

3. Indochinese tiger: They can only found in many Asian countries, such as Burma, Cambodia, Laos, China, Vietnam and Thailand. They have more darker color but smaller in size than Bengal

tiger.













4.

Malayan Tiger: They can be found in south of Malayan Peninsula. they are about five hundred still living.










5. South China Tiger: The south China tiger is the most engendered tiger. They are even more engendered than others.

Today Fahmia did somr research about Turtle:
Her interesting findings are

1. Turtles are existing for about 215 million years
2. Most turtles hide in their shell when attacked by predictors
3. All turtles have a hard shell that protects their body like a shield. their upper shell called carapace.They also have a lower shell that is called a plastron.

4.  Like all other reptiles, turtles are cold blooded
5. because turtles are reptiles, they lay egg

Will go in a different direction:
Creation of universe and how things came in last 13.7b years:

Newtons law of Gravity

ALL objects attract each other with a force of gravitational attraction. Gravity is universal. This force of gravitational attraction is directly dependent upon the masses of both objects and inversely proportional to the square of the distance that separates their centers. 
Knowing the value of G allows us to calculate the force of gravitational attraction between any two objects of known mass and known separation distance.
Determine the force of gravitational attraction between the earth (m = 5.98 x 1024 kg) and a 70-kg physics student if the student is standing at sea level, a distance of 6.38 x 106 m from earth's center.

The solution of the problem involves substituting known values of G (6.673 x 10-11 N m2/kg2), m1 (5.98 x 1024 kg), m2 (70 kg) and d (6.38 x 106 m) into the universal gravitation equation and solving for Fgrav. The solution is as follows:

Determine the force of gravitational attraction between the earth (m = 5.98 x 1024 kg) and a 70-kg physics student if the student is in an airplane at 40000 feet above earth's surface. This would place the student a distance of 6.39 x 106 m from earth's center.

The solution of the problem involves substituting known values of G (6.673 x 10-11 N m2/kg2), m1 (5.98 x 1024 kg), m2 (70 kg) and d (6.39 x 106 m) into the universal gravitation equation and solving for Fgrav. The solution is as follows:

Two general conceptual comments can be made about the results of the two sample calculations above. First, observe that the force of gravity acting upon the student (a.k.a. the student's weight) is less on an airplane at 40 000 feet than at sea level. This illustrates the inverse relationship between separation distance and the force of gravity (or in this case, the weight of the student). The student weighs less at the higher altitude.


Let's see an example of limitation
As a star ages, it is believed to undergo a variety of changes. One of the last phases of a star's life is to gravitationally collapse into a black hole. What will happen to the orbit of the planets of the solar system if our star (the Sun shrinks into a black hole)? (And of course, this assumes that the planets are unaffected by prior stages of the Sun's evolving stages.)
Newtons law of gravity doesn't answer this question. as per his law nothing will happen.. The shrinking of the sun into a black hole would not influence the amount of force with which the sun attracted the Earth since neither the mass of the sun nor the distance between the Earth's and sun's centers would change.

 Newton rightly saw this as a confirmation of the "inverse square law". He proposed that a "universal" force of gravitation F existed between any two masses mand M, directed from each to the other, proportional to each of them and inversely proportional to the square of their separation distance r. In a formula (ignoring for now the vector character of the force):

F   =   G   mM/r²

Suppose M is the mass of the Earth, R its radius and m is the mass of some falling object near the Earth's surface. Then one may write

F   =   m   GM/R²   =   m g

From this

g   =   GM/R²

The capital G is known as the constant of universal gravitation

Gravity in our Galaxy       

    Gravity obviously extends much further than the Moon. Newton himself showed the inverse-square law also explained Kepler's laws--for instance, the 3rd law, by which the motion of planets slows down, the further they are from the Sun.

    What about still larger distances? The solar system belongs to the Milky Way galaxy, a huge wheel-like swirl of stars with a radius around 100,000 light years. Being located in the wheel itself, we view it edge-on, so that the glow of its distant stars appears to us as a glowing ring circling the heavens, known since ancient times as the Milky Way. Many more distant galaxies are seen by telescopes, as far as one can see in any direction. Their light shows (by the "Doppler effect") that they are slowly rotating.    Gravity apparently holds galaxies together. At least our galaxy seems to have ahuge black hole in its middle, a mass several million times that of our Sun, with gravity so intense that even light cannot escape it. Stars are much denser near the center of our galaxy, and their rotation near their center suggests Kepler's third law holds there, slower motion with increasing distance.

    The rotation of galaxies away from their centers does not follow Kepler's 3rd law--indeed, outer fringes of galaxies seem to rotate almost uniformly. This observed fact has been attributed to invisible "dark matter" whose main attribute is mass and therefore, gravitational attraction (see link above). It does not seem to react to electromagnetic or nuclear forces, and scientists are still seeking more information about it.

We are in our new home. It is a new experience. Everything we touch, we feel it. Always in mind, it is our home. I hope this will remain.
Farhan likes the stair potion most. He goes on the top and slides down slowly. This is a scary thing to watch, suddenly he might miss a or slip one step and rollover down to the wall. His mom initially was very careful and had a lot of advice to him not to do that. Overtime it seems she lost her interest. Meantime Farhan is mastering his capability.
Fahmia seems indifferent. She does not look like interested on lot of things. She is completely busy with the TV and Netflix.
Urmi is serious with the kitchen. She liked the new oven very much. Many features of the oven she is still discovering.

Mid of November. The days are getting shorter. At 5pm it is quite dark outside. It is raining today. As it is cloudy, the darkness started even an hour before.  Rain in November in British Columbia is very normal.

End of November we are moving to a new residence. This is our own residence. We bought a small town home in North Vancouver recently.

It is more than five years we are in Canada and about three and half years in Vancouver. We spent all these years in rented home. It is nice to be in rented apartments. Do don't have to worry about all problems related to renovation or repairing. Whenever you have a problem, building manager is there to help you. If it is your own, only you are the man to help yourself.

We did not look for houses for very long though we were planning to buy something. We felt socially outcast and specially in social gathering we could feel the pressure. People are very much enthusiastic to discuss about their houses and we had enough advise from all corners. At last we decided, let's go for something.   

Beginning  of September 2013. This September is not different than other falls here in Vancouver. The temperature is still like summer. Sunny and bright Vancouver and it is fum. Still we go outside wearing T shirts.
Furhan is in very good mode. This year he will go to Kindergarten. He is excited. We went the store to buy his new stuffs for school. He took this preparation long back. We bought his bag last year when we bought one for Fahmia. This time several other items we bought and Farhan was in full gear. He chose many of the items like his Creon, pencil and even his note book.
On the night of second September, Farhan went to bed with full of dream. He had his stories ready for his class tomorrow. He prepared his school bag. Though on the first day his school will be just for an hour, yet he decided to take his lunch box and water bottle. His bag got a sizable shape.
On the next morning on 3rd September, along with Fahmia I drove him to the school. The legendary Queen mary elementary school. The shifted school is about three km from our home due to contruction to the main building which is very close to where we live in.
First day was very good for him and came back to home with in hour. Still he is excited and ready for the second day of school. It will be for about two hours.
On the second day I drove farhan to the school along with Fahmia as usual. Today a small mishap happened. Most of the school students returned from school by school bus. But Farhan was not there. As I dropped him to school, school authorities thought we will pick him up. But we thought Furhan will come by bus. Any way, the school principal drove Farhan to the spot from where all other parents are supposed to pick there children.
But the problem happened with Farhan. He decided he will not go school any more. Urmi did a detailed investigation why he does not want to go to school. The reason he wants his mom to be in the school with him.
While I am writing, today is Saturday. We are waiting for Monday when Farhan will go to his school for third day.

  

 

This is how you look at it. Last August 24 was Fahmia's 10th birthday. She already past ten years of her life and I see how the time is going in its own way.
For new a fathers it is an experience that he never had before. Something that you can not express. It was an  early evening on 23 of August, 2003. I was walking at a place close to Dhaka Airport. There was a newly established vegetable market close to airport railway station. I had a plan to buy some fresh vegetable. Suddenly I got a call from my wife, she is not feeling well.
I knew that she was not feeling well as long as her pregnancy was going at seven month stage. We just had a doctor's consultation one day before. The doctor was quite happy with her progress. Still every situation counts and needs special attention.
When I went back, we decided to visit the doctor again. It is not very close and those who know the traffic in Dahaka can realize the travelling distance from Airport to Dhanmondi. Any way, while travelling my wife was quite normal. Fortunately in that night, it did not took that long for us to travel to the Dhanmondi to Dr. Maliha's office. My wife was admitted immediately.
As you are a first time father, you don't know what to do. I talked with the doctor who was there at that time. My mother in law came to hospital to see us. I left the hospital as I thought everything was ok and she will feel better very soon. I came back to our resident leaving my wife and mother in law in the nursing home.
I can't remember how was my sleeping in that night. But next day early in the morning I got a phone call. Probably I did not understand what my wife said. Normally don't receive all the message when you just woke up. But I understood, Urmi is in the labor room.
I had a quick breakfast and immoderately started for the hospital. It was about 7:00 in the morning and traffic was bad. While I was in the transit, I got a phone call from my mother in law that I already became a father.

I am sitting this afternoon and waiting when the day will be over, fasting. Today is 29th of Ramadan and waiting for moon sight result. Depending on the moon, tomorrow might be a Eid day. Yet another Eid in Vancouver.

How many Eid I got in my life? During Eid, I pray everyday will be Eid day. Did I make all my days Eid day. 

Let's talk about one of our Eid when I was a kid. My father was transferred to Mymensingh. We still did not start to live together. With my mother we were living in Muradnagar where we stayed about six months before joining to Mymensingh with my father. During the Eid vacation from Mymensingh, my father bought all our dresses and gift items. We were waiting for very exciting Eid. While he was travelling towards Muradnagar, his bag was smuggled at Meghna Feri Ghat. 

My dad, my father when he came to Muradnagar about 100km from Feri Ghat, he was completely devastated. We were waiting for new dresses and gift item. I saw my father, full of sorrow and tears in his eyes. He said he will buy us all the dresses again. He did sometime later, but we had a wonderful Eid. 

Today we had an accident this morning. Both Farhan and Fahmia was playing with me. I was sitting on the computer chair.
One of Farhan`s favorite play with me is to stand behind me when whenever I sit on the computer chair. Farhan comes behind me, hold`s my shoulder gently and start`s moving his body right and left.
This morning Fahmia came to me and start doing that one. It is bit unusual because normally she doesn`t do so. Then Farhan came and he climed to touch Fahmia`s behind. Everything was going allring until Farhan falled down to the ground from the top of the chair.
Initially Farhan started to cry and doesn`t seem it was serious. It was like innocent many other similar hurts that the kids used to get everyday. But within few minutes we understood something went wrong. He was very quiet and could not keep his shoulder up straight. He was complaining about the pain. We had a BarBQ event and we were busy with calling other`s who will join the event.
Urmi decided to take him to the family physician. The family physician said it was a concussion and send him to the hospital Emergency.
We stayed about seven hours in the hospital. He did vomited for three time. We were really scared at one point. Thanks God it did not turned badly.

We passed a tensed day with Farhan. We had to cancel the Bar-B-Q eeven

I though I would not write about this issue. But no way to escape. It is now a widely discussed in Bangladeshi community. After all these recent unstable political events, Bangladesh community here in Vancouver is full of doubt where it will be ending.
The Shahabag event in Bangladesh started with very high spirit and patriotism of young people undoutbaly put this revolution very high up. A strong movement from young Bangladeshi after liberation generation. Their strong voice against the war crime that took place back in 1971 during the liberation war. A very emotional movement from ordinary Bangladeshi young generation.
It is a matter of identity unveil, how we want to be remembered to our next generation. It is a kind of soul search, will Bangladeshi after liberation generation be a part of mixed cultarul soceity whose ideology defeted in 1971 or will emerge as a winner. They had a strong voice for the justice of war crime.
But very soon this noble idea was hijacked by awamileague.

 

We are at another spring. Today was a wonderful sunny day. Temperature was very comfortable; around 14 degree Celsius.

We went to Boulevard park close to our home. Farhan- Fahmia  got the chance to play around and we got the chance for photo shooting.

I tried to upload bigger size videos, seems like they limited the size of the video.
Fahmia was in a learning process of count by different numbers. Interestingly she could learn the other numbers but it was really difficult for her to learn count by eight. Here Farhan is also giving a push to Fahmia.
This is a four five months old video, however by this time Fahmia improved a lot. She started to learn division, multiplication and all difficult mats. But Fahmia always mention that math is most difficult subject for her. It will be really interesting to see how she does in math in coming days.

It is quite sometime since I last wrote in this blog. This is yet another rainy winter in Vancouver. Last December we went to Bangladesh. It is always nice to visit Bangladesh, to meet with friends and family. 

Language barrier is probably the biggest barrier in a new country. For us we were lucky that we came in Canada where the language is English. Since begging we had English in our curriculum as a second language. So it was much easier to accommodate the new language. It could have been much worse if we were in a country where we were new with the language. 

But still I can not say that I did not have the problem. The reason is, though we could understand English, studied in English, we never used spoken English for our day to day activities. So when I was in a situation I could probably understand most of it but still I was not one of them. 

When I was in Toronto, I had to go for a job fair and they send me to participate in an exam to get the English speaking course. I did well in that exam though it did not help me to get any job. 

In my next writings, I will spent some time on this topic. 

I am writing again after so many days. In this blog I wrote last time in 2011. Time is just flying.
During these days there were so many changes but for me changes were small. We still live in the same house where we were living. Sometimes I though we will buy a house. Still so far it did not happen. In this case my test is not matching with Urmi. She really  likes North Vancouver. Undoubtedly I like this place also but it is too expensive to get anything here.
By this time Farhan started his schooling. He is going to West View School in Strong Start.  

I enjoy the music very much. I enjoy old Bangla music, Rabindra sangeet, Nazrul sangeet and variety of songs. But undoubtedly one type of song I enjoy very much; Qawwali and when it is from Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan.

Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, one of the greatest musician of the history was born in 1948 in Pakistan near Faisalabad. His family was involved with Qawwali with generations. He possessed a six octate vocal range and could perform at a high level of intensity for hours. He is considered the only songster of this kind.

How I fist knew about Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan? When I was in University, once I heard his music "Allah hu Allah hu" in stadium market. In my first listening I could not forget some of the lyrics, the ups and downs of the voice, the beat and the sargam and the reality is still I can feel the song inside me.

Since then I started to collect the Qawwali of Nusrat Fateh Ali. My favorite way of listening the qawwialis---

-Sit on a sofa chair

-Put the back on the sofa and be relaxed

-Close the eyes, don't think what's happening around

-Consider music is coming from another world

Some favorites..

Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan was taken ill with kidney and liver failure on August 11, 1997 in London while on the way to Los Angels in order to receive a kidney transplant. He died of a sudden cardiac arrest on Saturday, August 16, 1997, aged 48.

Farhan

So far I didn't write about Farhan. He is boy of full of energy. At his three and half year age he is playful all the time. Yesterday I took him to a local playing ground here. Play ground is one of his very favorite place. He can spend hours there. Yesterday the playing ground where I took him had a nice and tall slipper. It had a spiral shape and cylindrical. While any one was slipping from the top, will have a nice turn inside but will not be visible until he was at the ground. So during his slipping I could not see him. He was enjoying that very much. As this slipper was tall, there was a difficult way to get into it. First you need to climb a tilted flat plane with the support of a chain. It was the most difficult part. What I noticed when I showed him two or three times, I saw he started to do that by himself.

Not a First Ramadan writing

Stephen Hawkins is the most famous scientist at our age. Physically disabled this scientist changed many thoughts of modern time. With his book "brief history of time", after Einstein he became the most influential personality in his field. His field is physics and more elaborately the natural science and in his book he explained how this universe coexists together with so many starts and galaxies. And one interesting thing is that he wrote this book for general people not for the fellow scientists. This is one way to come closer to mass people with thoughts and ideas. He was successful in doing so because his book was the best seller for many years.

In his book and after that in many other writings, he was vocal about the existence of intelligent creature other than the earth. His understanding is we can not be alone in this universe. But until a month ago, one thing he consistently avoided; about the God. Rather he was in favor of the idea of God and in this point he made a difference with many other scientists. This is probably a reason why his book became so popular with an impression that with his theory he did not become a non believer or agnostic.

Last month in his new article, he clearly mentioned not to think about heaven or hell. According to him these are the thoughts of kids. This time he was vocal not to think about after death life. Science is going ahead and these discussions are coming again and again. I am sure there will be no end of this discussion.

Yesterday our family friends visited us at our home in Vancouver. At our family level, we have very good understanding with them. My son, at his age could make his friendship with a member of that family. While they were here, he could enjoy most of his time.

Muslim family law of Bangladesh was one of the discussion yesterday. This is one of the topic where my wife had her very strong opinion. Her believe is somehow our religion deprived the woman. As I know her, she always claims that she is a feminist. So as I heard that, it was not completely new to me. Actually situation made her more vocal on this topic and probably this situation never came in family discussions. I know her as very devoted to religion. By the way in this discussion my position was sympathetic to our religion.

My brother in law is living in USA. He is doing his PhD. A very progressive and lively personality. For many reasons I like him. But one thing some times my wife complains about him. He is not very pious what he used to be. He used to be very devoted and prayed five times a day while he was in Bangladesh. The complain was, he is challenging the thoughts of religion and my wife is not comfortable with that.

At the end of this writing my position is I am trying to find fine line between religion and our daily life. One thing I believe of my Bangla teacher, Kuddus sir of Mymensingh Zilla School " darma Andhakarei Sunder".

for this morning I must listen my favorite Nusrat Fateh Khan

Story from Fahmia-1

You can play Jumpy and dance together, it is so much fun. You can hop like a bunny in the weekend because it is so much fun. Yaa-hooo go on a vacation to Hawaii because it is beautiful and you can show that you really care.

B.Baria-2

B.Baria missionary school was a coeducation school but all teachers were ladies. We called our teachers "didi". Didi's were so good so dedicated to the students that no one of us could go without proper learning.

This was time before 80s. That was within ten years of our liberation war. People did not have abandon of money to spent and particularly in a town like B.Baria. Many families were depending on government "Reshon". Like our families at that time, our dress materials education materials had the indication of shortage.

We did not have money to buy ice cream in the leisure period. Ice cream was the only luxury item for us. Those were like "Lathi Ice" the colored ice cream and cost us 10-25 paisa. Sometimes we could manage the paisa to buy that from our parents which was not very easy. There was a special type of ice cream of 50 paisa, and I can rember I never had the opportunity to buy one.

I should say our school was ahead of the time. In school we had our own desk and chair placed by the roll number. We had our own lock and key to keep our books and other belonging in that desk. I brought all my good crayons and toys from home to that desk. At that age I had a showing tendency, I liked to show my good things to my mates.
