কত শত যে স্বপ্ন বুনেছি
পদ্মায় উড়বো পাখির মতোন ;
অবশেষে সে স্বপ্ন পূর্ণ হচ্ছে
পদ্মা সেতুর আজ উদ্বোধন।

পদ্মার তীরে এক বিকেল
এ যেনো নতুন এক স্বপ্ন ছুয়ে দেখা

The Padma Bridge is considered to be the most challenging construction project in the history of Bangladesh. The 6.15-km-long bridge has been under construction since 2014 and the project was finally done by the Government of Bangladesh.Prime minister Sheikh Hasina today on 25 June unveiled the inauguration plaque of Padma Bridge at 11:58 AM at Mawa Point. The Padma Bridge will not only enhance Inter-Bangladesh connectivity, but it will also avail the necessary logistics and business momentum to connect the common areas between India and Bangladesh.

Dhaka City College Language Club prolongs its earnest gratitude to the Government of Bangladesh for turning the dream of millions of people into reality by assembling such an architectural miracle.

Book Review: ‘The Miracle Morning’
Author: Hal Elrod
Year Published: 2012

The central idea the book ‘The Miracle Morning’ puts forward is that creating a daily personal development routine can turn one into the person one needs to be to solve all his problems. We have the power to develop into the person we need to be, to achieve everything we have ever wanted in our life. This process begins with how we start our days in the morning before 8 am.

THE NOT-SO-OBVIOUS SECRETS AUTHOR HAL GUARANTEED IN THIS BOOK TO TRANSFORM OUR LIFE BEFORE 8 AM INCLUDE:
THE 95% REALITY CHECK
THE LIFE S.A.V.E.R.S.
THE 5-STEP SNOOZE PROOF WAKE UP STRATEGY
THE 6-MINUTE MIRACLE MORNING
FROM UNBEATABLE TO UNSTOPPABLE

It may not be the most well-written book; being very repetitive at times. But the principles it teaches are immensely worth reading about.

“It’s been said that the first hour is the rudder of the day. If I’m lazy or haphazard in my actions during the first hour after I wake up, I tend to have a fairly lazy and unfocused day. But if I strive to make that first hour optimally productive, the rest of the day tends to follow suit.”
-Steve Pavlina

As per the lifelong belief of not being morning people, we sleep away most of the mornings. Which would lead us to stay up all night doing things, leaving them unfinished, and wake up tired the next day. Miraculously enough, this book has the potential to transform the mornings into “Miracle Mornings” and increase our productivity to a much greater extent than before.

“Every day you and I wake up, we face the same universal challenge: to overcome mediocrity and live to our full potential.”
-Hal Elrod

At the point in one’s life when he is just about to accept the mediocrity in life, consistently accepting far less than his best, this book may come to him as a blessing. It makes us realise that to defeat the cause of mediocrity; we need a life purpose.

In this book, Hal Elrod shows us these factors to a successful life and how to design our morning to boost our life energy. It motivates us to change our life by “creating our best life- our level 10 life- and taking our levels of success, happiness, health, and financial prosperity beyond what we have ever experienced”. Coming with a lot of valuable lessons, ideas, and strategies, this book is worth to be read several times. There would hardly be anyone who would not benefit from reading this book. A great read for the ones who want to gift themselves the gift of waking up each day with their full potential.

Shutter Island (2010)
Director: Martin Scorsese
Genre: Psychological thriller

"This place makes me wonder, which would be worse – to live as a monster, or to die as a good man?"

Set in 1954, Federal Marshals Teddy Daniels and Chuck Aule are assigned to investigate the disappearance of inmate Rachel Solando from the Ashecliff Mental Asylum for the Criminally Insane located on Shutter Island. But before they even step off the ferry, we know all is not well with Teddy. Suffering from seasickness and dark memories of his dead wife Dolores, it is clear that while Teddy may be our protagonist, he's damaged and we can't entirely trust him. An intense, compelling performance from DiCaprio pulls us in different directions as it's difficult to discern if his urgency is a result of his own trauma or the sinister vibe from the guards, nurses, orderlies, and chief psychiatrist Dr. Cawley.
At first glance, Shutter Island may seem like a twisting narrative that refuses to play fair with the audience, but it does the complete opposite. We are left guessing not because Scorsese's refusing to show us key elements, but because we are following an unreliable protagonist and seeing everything as he does.
Traversing the island, we see a twisted landscape of falling trees, jagged cliffs, hidden caves, an old civil war fort that houses the most dangerous inmates, and a lighthouse where lobotomies and surgical experiments may be occurring. There are no easy answers on Shutter Island but there are not any tricks either.
Known as a master of using music to elevate his movies, Scorsese pulls off one of his most difficult and impressive aural accomplishments to date. The eclectic soundtrack features music by Brian Eno, Johnnie Ray, Max Richter, and more. The film opens with the bold, oppressive "Fog Tropes," and without Scorsese's complete confidence and command of every other element of his film, this tune along with many others would feel corny and overbearing.
Shutter Island exists on the edge of a knife and rather than fall into genre conventions or into endless homage, Martin Scorsese carves his movie into something singular and unforgettable. Every element had to work to make this film a success. Any flawed element, from weak supporting performance, to a cheap narrative trick, to an indecisive music cue, and we had lost the illusion. Instead, Scorsese transports the audience to a world that is both captivating and claustrophobic. It is a psychological horror where viewers are scared by what is presented yet terrified at what lies in the periphery.

যে কবির কবিতা পাঠে হৃদয়ে স্পন্দন জাগে, রক্তে তোলে শিহরণ, তিনি আমাদের জাতীয় কবি কাজী নজরুল ইসলাম । তিনি বিদ্রোহ ও তারুণ্যের কবি। তাঁর লেখনীতে লুকিয়ে ছিল সমগ্র ভারতবর্ষের মানুষের মুক্তির সংগ্রামের বাণী। তাঁর কিছু কিছু লেখনীতে তা প্রকাশ পেয়েছে সাবলীলভাবে। বাংলা সাহিত্যে ধূমকেতুর মতো তার আবির্ভাব। অন্যায় অবিচার, জুলুম ও শোষণের বিরুদ্ধে তাঁর কবিতায় ধ্বনিত হয়েছে প্রচণ্ড বিদ্রোহ। পচনধরা প্রথাগত সমাজকে ভেঙ্গেচুরে স্বাস্থ্যকর নতুন এক সমাজ নির্মাণ করাই তাঁর স্বপ্ন ছিল। তাই তিনি বিদ্রোহ করেছিলেন সকল অন্যায়, অসত্য, শোষণ-নির্যাতন আর দুঃখ-দারিদ্র্যের বিরুদ্ধে ।
অগ্নিবীণা হাতে তার প্রবেশ, ধূমকেতুর মতো তার প্রকাশ। যেমন লেখাতে বিদ্রোহী, তেমনই জীবনে কাজেই "বিদ্রোহী কবি"।

""মম এক হাতে বাঁকা বাঁশের বাঁশরি, আর হাতে রণতূর্য''- এ কেবল নজরুলের পক্ষেই বলা সম্ভব। কারণ, তিনি নিপীড়িত-লাঞ্ছিত মানুষের কথা ভেবেছেন। পরাধীন জাতির মুক্তির কথা বলেছেন।

” মরিতে চাহি না আমি সুন্দর ভুবনে , মানবের মাঝে আমি বাঁচিবারে চাই । এই সূর্যকরে এই পুষ্পিত কাননে জীবন্ত হৃদয় – মাঝে যদি স্থান পাই । ”
-রবীন্দ্রনাথ ঠাকুর
সুন্দর এই ভুবনকে আরো সুন্দর করার উদ্যোগটা তিনি খুব ভালোভাবেই নিয়েছিলেন। কৈশোরের শুরুর দিকে তার রচিত কাব্যগ্রন্থ বনফুলের মাধ্যমে বাংলা সাহিত্যে নতুন নক্ষত্রের আগমনের আগমনী বার্তা পেয়ে যান পাঠক সমাজ। ধীরে ধীরে সাহিত্য ও সংস্কৃতির সর্বস্তরে নিজেরসৃষ্টিশীলতার ছাপ রাখা শুরু করেন।একাধারে তিনি ছিলেন কবি, ঔপন্যাসিক, সংগীতস্রষ্টা, নাট্যকার, চিত্রকর, ছোটগল্পকার, প্রাবন্ধিক, অভিনেতা, কণ্ঠশিল্পী ও দার্শনিক।জীবনচক্রান্তে গল্পগুচ্ছ,গীতিবিতান, রবীন্দ্ররচনা বলির মতো অমর সৃষ্টি উপহার দিয়ে গিয়েছেন মানবকূলকে। এশীয়দের মধ্যে পান প্রথম নোবেল পুরষ্কার। তিনি শুধু বাংলা সাহিত্যেরই নয় বিশ্ব সাহিত্যের একজন পথিকৃৎ, সৃষ্টিশীলতার প্রতীক৷ তার ১৬১ তম জন্মবার্ষিকী উপলক্ষ্যে ঢাকা সিটি কলেজ ল্যাঙ্গুয়েজ ক্লাবের পক্ষ থেকে তার প্রতি বিনম্র শ্রদ্ধাঞ্জলি।

William Shakespeare was an English playwright, poet and actor. He is widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's greatest dramatist. He was born in Stratford-upon-Avon, he was baptised on 26 April 1564. His date of birth is unknown but is traditionally observed on 23 April. Shakespeare's work has made a lasting impression on later theatre and literature. In particular, he expanded the dramatic potential of characterisation, plot, language, and genre. He wrote the blockbuster plays of his day - some of his most famous are Macbeth, Romeo and Juliet, and Hamlet. It has been almost 400 years since he died, but people still celebrate his work all around the world.

Dhaka City College Language Club pays respect to one of the greatest personalities in the world of literature and hopes his magnificent contributions will be forever appreciated.

"26th March 1971"; A common day for other nation's people but a night changing epoch for us. Countless bodies, innumerable liters of blood, and numerous mothers with no hope in life. The people had done nothing wrong but yet they suffered. Yes, I'm talking about 25th March's attack at midnight (26th March) on us by the West Pakistan armies. But our people had enough of it and were ready to depart their life for their mother nation. The mighty war began which made the nation free from the clutches of West Pakistani beasts after the revolutionary message from the father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman-

“This may be my last message, from today Bangladesh is independent. I call upon the people of Bangladesh wherever you might be and with whatever you have, to resist the army of occupation to the last.”

And after blood-shedding combat of nine months, the country became independent. We pay homage to the martyrs who fought dauntlessly for the freedom of the country. Let’s honour all the patriots and well-wishers who love the country and work hard for its progress.

Happy Independence Day 🇧🇩
