No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don’t want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life’s change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true. – Steve Jobs

I don’t have any experience of earthquakes but on Friday night I really felt it a few seconds at the same time my 14-month babies and his mother felt the same jolted. She run from the bedroom with my kids. Old part of the Dhaka is the one of the risky area for earthquakes. . . .
According to the news paper three moderate earthquakes shook different parts of the country including capital Dhaka on Friday night, and Saturday afternoon. When Muslims were to celebrating their greatest religious festivals Eid-ul-Fitr.
Panicked people especially in Old Dhaka and Mirpur areas came out of their homes after the quakes jolted their houses.
The first tremor was felt for few seconds at 10:42pm while the second one with the magnitude of 4.8 on the Richter scale also stay for a while and shooked the country at 11:24:17pm. and the A 5.2 magnitude aftershock shook different parts of the country Saturday afternoon.
Love my dear faado baba you are my earth . . . I am so proud of you . . . Long live you my dear little baby . . . best wishes to your 1st birthday.
we celebrate megh ( our son’s) 1st birthday, to me it is more special. I really enjoy every moment. Once time I see my baby is watching what is happened probably he viewed the birthday celebration as an unnecessary interruption of his playtime.
He is really angry and crying and his mom’s is not to control him- when he cut his birthday cake and once time he remove his dress after that he is pleasing. I really enjoy all this moment and took many picture. It is really happy day for our family.
Here I say one thing It is the day of identity of born. I really fell it is the history day who is born and first day enter in our beautiful planet.
