My First Day at College:
In my life, some happenings have remained vivid in my memory. My first day at college is one of them and it has occupied an abiding place in the core of my heart. It was August 05, 1991. That day I had my bath and breakfast earlier. I put on my new cloths and went out for the college at 9 AM, with my parents‘ blessings. When the college building came into my view, my heart leapt up with pleasure. The large building, though I saw it before, appeared new to me. I felt freer, experienced boundless joy and thought myself in a new world. I went to the notice board and took down the routine. The bell rang. It was 10 AM. According to the routine, I entered a room numbered four. After a few moments, a gentleman entered. We all stood up and honoured him. He was the professor of English. When we sat down, he called over the rolls. His speech was mainly on our responsibility as college students. Then I attended Bangla and Computer classes. In the interval, I with one of my new classmates walked round the different blocks of the college building. I went to the student‘s common room. I noticed many differences between my school and college. In my school, all classes held in a row but in college there are intervals between classes. Moreover, teachers in college are very experienced. In my college, there are a huge library and a large common room, which are different from my school ones. I liked the teachers and the library most. I left the college. I returned home with a happy heart, a broad outlook and rich insight and experience.
A Traffic Police:
A traffic police is a very familiar figure in towns and cities. He usually stands on the island at the crossing of roads. His duty is to control the traffic in the busy and crowded roads of the town. He puts on his specific uniform usually with a cap. He has also a white umbrella to protect him from the sun and the rain. He uses a whistle to draw the attention of the drivers and passers-by. As soon as he raises his hand across a road, all the vehicles passing along that road stop at once and passers-by are allowed to cross the road safely. Next he extends his hand in another direction and the traffic on that road comes to a standstill and the stopped traffic on the previous road starts moving on. This goes on for the whole day. A traffic police maintains discipline in roads and highways and plays a vital role in road transports. Some of the traffic police are not well-trained and that‘s why they maintain the traffic whimsically that interrupts the normal speed of all traffics. He does not earn a lot because his salary is very poor. He cannot support his family well and cannot fulfil his desires as he is to lead a very simple life. However, he should be well-paid so that he need not adopt unfair means for his living. Only a few of the traffic police are involved in illegal operations and they unnecessarily halt buses, trucks or any kind of vehicles and demand money illegally. This may lead a country to destruction gradually. Rather, a traffic police should be a great friend of the passers-by and must be an important person of a nation.
Women’s Contribution to Society:
Woman is an important part of the world. But woman is not given so much privilege, as she needs to express herself. However, the role of women in nation building cannot be denied any more in the context of present reality of the world. It is not possible for any nation to get to goal without allowing women to play an active role. There was a time when women were looked upon without any dignity and honour. They were mere instruments to serve the family affairs. But with the progress of civilisation, the outlook and the attitude of the world towards women have changed. This is true not only for the western countries but also for the Islamic countries as well. And Bangladesh is not an exception to this. It may be safely asserted that the development of a nation depends on the women-folk too. A number of women in our country are working in different garment factories. By working in the factory they earn their livelihood and maintain their family. There are also many women who are working in government and nongovernment offices with their professionals nowadays. They are working and earning a lot not only for supporting their own family but also for contributing to the whole development of our country. The women of Bangladesh are developing themselves in every stage of life. They are now more conscious, serious and professional. They are getting educated as well as preparing themselves for competing with the male. The women are now enjoying their fundamental rights. But it is a matter of great regret that a number of women in both villages and towns in our country have to face a lot of social and religious bindings. But according to Islam both men and women should be given equal rights. So, government as well as the educated circle of our population should come forward to establish the rights of the women so that they can actively take part in nation building. Thinking women‘s contribution to society, our national and rebel poet Kazi Nazrul Islam uttered, ―What are great in this world, half has been done by woman half by man
