  Kazi Nazrul Islam A gem of Bengali literature UNESCO's declaration of 21st February as the International Mother Language Day had brought fresh glory and prestige to Bangladesh which is making significant strides towards peace, progress and prosperity at home and discharging International obligations abroad. After 1952, the people of Bangladesh have been observing the 21st day of February as their glorious and unforgettable Language Martyrs Day. What happened on 21st February 1952 is widely known. Still let me very briefly recount the fateful happenings of that day and the circumstances that led to and followed them.

People around especially in some developing and underdeveloped countries still do not take Homosexuality as something normal so i thought of giving it some thought, its a wonderful story, read it patiently.

Will you kill your soul for the sake of what others think?  For now, let all these serious topics be kept aside, we can discuss it in some other post. Lets celebrate love without discrimination.  So here is a story to celebrate Valentine's Day.
