2010 was a terrific year except a few things that slipped out of hand badly.
Instead of losing, I gained a few, in fact I went over hundred for the first time. I missed Shagor and Shakila getting married (Bappi and I were longing for this for quite a long time, but none of us was there to celebrate). But except those, things went out pretty good. I ended up in a good school, got a job that I always dreamed about. At last, I learned how to cook and the learning curve is really steep. I got myself a new camera and found my mentor for sorod.
Now its 31st December and again its time to make some wishes for the coming year. And this time I want to keep things really simple. Just a few things that I really want to happen.
First of all, lose some kilo. I know I am saying this to me for a couple of years, but this time I am damn serious and want to give this a shot. UC has a great place for working out and they really charge me hundred bucks a quarter whether I use it or not. So, this time I am not letting my money drain in vain.
I want to visit home either in summer or winter break.
May be a coast to coast road-trip or Euro-trip!
It will be really nice if I can line-up a job by fall. I am still skeptical about spending few more years in school but I want to figure this out by middle of this year.
And Project MANG is sill on! Looking forward!

World AIDS Day 2010
My first encounter with the word "AIDS" was pretty long ago. I was then a 8 years old kid probably. I was watching a commercial on TV about AIDS. It was a song sung by a lot of celebrities from all sectors of Bangladesh. The song was really horrifying. The abstract was : If you have AIDS, then you are surely gone. For a kid like me, I didn't understand what AIDS was, but I could imagine what "surely gone" means; and to be honest, that image was for sure scary. But I was such a helpless kid that I could only feel pity for the guy with AIDS, imaging that he had to leave the beautiful world pretty soon.
Now, I am grown-up, but does the situation changed a lot? I am still that much helpless just to feel pity for the AIDS guy, nothing more. We are doing so many things around the world; from cutting edge computers to new series of WMDs, but yet nothing on the list for the AIDS patients. Still for a lot of people, HIV positive means "surely gone".
But I think we have what we need to change the situation. We may not have the treatment of HIV patients, but we have love. Lets give our love to them; stop staring at them with despise and stop saying that its their sins caused their suffering. Lets try to make some space for them in our mundane life or at least make their rest of the days a happy journey.
Let the love rule.

Look Back 2009 and Wishlist 2010
The start of 2009 was terrific. I was running almost everywhere to save my dirty ass. Thanks to my Backbencher guys for not allowing me to stay another term in BUET!
In March we broke. Being tired of running for the last 5 years I decided to station myself at home.
April was good. I started for GRE with a high spirit ( this time I was prepared not to let it go again).
May and June were just afflictions. My days in AKG were kind of weird. I gathered both friends and enemy. Sleeping in a feet-wide cable ladder and burning under the sun were some unforgetteble events. I plan not to repeat the mistakes in my new job that I did here.
In June, out of nothing I got a project work. "Band of brothers" really did well there.
August was the month of reap. With a mixed feeling of confusion, fear and confidence, I entered AAA and the rest is still unbelievable to me!
In the rest months, apart from running( by which I lost 4K!) , I managed a decent TOEFL score, qualified for the BCS written and cracked IBA!!!
And just before the year was ending, I became an author of a conference paper.
Least But no the last, I was heart-broken time and time this year and I am still on run like Mr. Forest.
Wishlist 2010
1. Make a good MS admission deal (I am waiting for this for a long time)
2. Like 2009, I want to lose a few kilos.
3. I want to get a good job.
4. Want to attend the wedding of Shagor and Shakila
5. Write a paper
6. Have some quality holidays.
7. Learn Sorod (Ayan and Aman are making me really obsessed about it)
8. Learn cooking.
9. Do some photography.
10. Translate "The Last Lecture"
11. Project MANG
And I want to continue enjoying my life more.
