My Digital Camera - Canon Powershot A560

Just before the Eid day.. I had only 1 day chance to go to the market and search for Sony Cybershot Camera within my 20K BDT budget and prepare myself for my Saint Martin trip. I went to the Sony Show rooms and even in few of the Camera Shops in Bashundhora City Shopping Mall.




At last i bought a Canon Powershot A560 Digital Camera after long thought. According to the Sony Cybershot the Canon Camera is more cheap but there are little difference in the Camera's picture quality that's for sure. But i am more than happy buying this Canon by near to half of my budget for my Sony Cybershot :)

Check out few more snap shots of my Camera ...

Born To Live

I would like to be a flower which blooms to full glory and dies, than being a tree that never blossoms.
I would like to be a spark that burns with a brilliant blaze for a moment, than being a light which cannot show path to anyone.
I would like to be a superb meteor which carries a magnificent glow, than being a sleepy and permanent planet.

I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall used my time.
I am born to Live. Not to Exist.

Eid-al- Fitr - Excitement, Preparation and Expectation

Eid-al-Fitr, is the official holiday for all muslim people who fasts for 1 month of Ramadan and enjoys this day by celebrating with their family members and neighbors. Preparation for this happy day is different by different place and the culture. But every muslim wishes everyone in this day in the same way saying "Eid-ul-Mubarak" or "Happy Eid Greeting" etc.



Suddenly i was searching for Eid Pictures in Flickr and got few interesting picture of Celebration, preparation and expectation :) It reminded my old days in Libya where i saw people had one type of interest and arrangements for Eid celebration. Mostly in the Middle east or Arabian countries.. i found all girls are specially fond of "Mehendi Arts" for Eid Celebration. It's sort of Must and sometimes even the Little boy kids are also using Mehendi Arts on their hands :)


Most of the time i came to know that in western countries Muslim people doesn't get any official holidays in Eid days. But here i can see lots of people already attended to celebrate this Eid day together in London last year :) That must had been a great day indeed.




How much the kids really gets excited in celebrating this Eid Day?? Want to feel it? Look at this Kids' faces and feel them :)

View From The Window

Life is like a view from the window.

You can't change the window even if you don't like it,
but you can change the way you look at it.

Then you will see how beautiful life is.

Look Within

People spend a lifetime searching for happiness; looking for peace.
They chase idle dreams, addictions, religions, even other people,
hoping to fill the emptiness that plagues them.

The irony is that the only place they ever needed to search was
within themselves.

Believe In Yourself

There may be days when you get up in the morning and things aren't the way you had hoped they would be. That's when you have to tell yourself that things will get better.

There are times when people disappoint you and let you down.
But those are the times when you remind yourself to trust your own judgments and opinions, to keep your life focused on believing in yourself.

There will be challenges to face and changes to make in your life, and it is up to you to accept them.

Constantly keep yourself headed in the right direction for you. It may not be easy at times, but in those times of struggles, you will find a stronger sense of who you are.

So when the days come that are filled with frustration and unexpected responsibilities, remember to believe in yourself and all you want your life to be.

Because the challenges and changes will only help you to find the goals that you know are meant to come true for you.

Keep believing in yourself.

Constantly Try To Achieve Something

If we want to gain someone's attention or want to do something good for human being or want to be a good person, then much difficulty and problem may occur in our way.

But we should never give up hope.
Instead keep on doing till we reach our goal.
Once we may not succeed, try twice, if no success, then thrice.
Give enough time to the full capacity, then wait for the result.

As we all know that God helps those
who are constantly trying to achieve something.
