All the pictures were taken by Tithi and I’ve edited them in Photoshop CS4

We’ve moved into our own house on 30th May 2009. It is a townhouse with a walk-out basement and a small backyard. First level or ground floor has a garage, walk-out basement and a room with our washer and dryer. Second level has kitchen, dining, living and a half wash room (without shower). Third level has three bed rooms and one full washroom. It is a small place to live in but a place we can call our own.

After we moved in I installed some new light fixtures, faucets and a chandelier of our choice. It was fun installing those on my own. For chandelier I’d to buy a 8 feet ladder and was standing on it for 3 hours to finish installing the chandelier. At the end of the day I was dead tired but felt good that I could do so much myself. Of course Tithi was always there to help me out. Being seven months pregnant she has helped a lot, thanks my dear.

Anyway, wish us luck and take a look at some of the pictures Tithi has taken on 3rd June.

Yes, it is long weekend in Canada. For Easter we’ve Friday as vacation followed by Saturday and Sunday. Anyway, this is our first trip to somewhere after we got married. Well, that’s not quite right. We traveled to Canada. Anyway, I’ve always heard that Québec City is a beautiful place. I hope the weather will be good. I’m connected to internet with the train’s on-board WiFi service. Just enjoying the views outside and writing this article.

I really needed this break. Both Tithi and I actually. It feels great to finally go out for a long trip. We’ve thought about it many times but never had a chance to do it. Here are some photos taken from the train so far….I’ll keep posting as my journey continues.

Now let us take a look at the photos…

So here it is. There are lot more to it that I don’t know, but I will figure out step by step. Loving the unix based OS and finally glad that I am (personally) off the Window$ world.

I would like to thank my wife, Tithi, that she was really supportive in my decision to buy this expensive toy. Well this is the second expensive toy that I’ve bought in last few months; first was my Play Station 3.

I will try to post my experience with the Mac Book Pro as I keep using it. Thanks.

On one side it is the joy of the day and on the other side is the sorrow of loosing another precious year from my life.

When I was in Bangladesh I used to take this day off to spend the day with my family and Tithi. In the morning I would have gone out with Tithi, may be buy a cake and cut it in my car. Celebrating the time together. Later in the day my mother used to cook some nice dishes for everyone. Last year, in Canada, I spent all day in office – my new job at that time. Later in the day I cut a cake at my brother’s house.

This year my parents and Tithi are with me. Last night at 12AM we all ate a cake bar. Today my mother and Tithi will be cooking Biriyani which we will eat after Iftar. I am now in the office. Writing this blog entry. I have some documents to prepare for my office project. Growing old every minute. The feelings are not same as it used to be. May be I have changed over last year, the way I look at life.

Somewhere I read that the life is like a chocolate. It is tasty and more you taste it the more it will finish. As soon as it is all gone you will feel “Oh I wish I had more!”

I don’t know how long I shall live. I hope as long as I do, I will make everyone around me happy.

Now I lay me down to sleep
Pray the lord my soul to keep
If I die before I wake
Pray the lord my soul to take
– Enter Sandman (Metallica)

I treasure every moment of my life and I would like to thank every person I have come to know so far in my life. I hope next year I will be still be here to share my thoughts with you all.

At my mid twenties….I’m one step closer to the eternity….

Thank you.

After a shocking and disappointing 41 hours flight back to Bangladesh on Etihad Airways I had to start shopping from very next day! I didn’t even have time to contact anyone. Everyone had to come and wait for me at Kolahal (my house’s name in Dhaka). I would like to apologize to many of you whom I should have contacted and met. I promise to do so next time I visit.

Well on 22nd June a reception party was held. Some pictures from the party is on my Flickr.com account. After that Tithi (my wife), Shakhhar (my cousin), Pia (Shakkhar’s wife) and Mishuk (my another cousin) decided to visit our village at Shahjadpur. We had only one night to stay there and two whole days to spend. We had most out of our time there. Took around 832 pictures during that trip. Few of the pictures are on Flickr.com now.

Well as we all know time goes by just like that. It was a good trip, yet was so short. I feel I should have done a lot more than what I have done this time. I wish I had more time to spend there. On 3rd July I took the flight back to Canada with Tithi. Now she is here with me. She is doing good here but misses her family, friends and funs. Hope we can fulfill our hopes and dreams.

It was really good to be back to my own land. I hope to return to it for good, very soon!

It’s her picture – left one is during the ceremony called “Gaye Holud” and right one is during marriage ceremony.

I’m with my mother and father.

Please pray for our new life together and you all are invited at my reception party in Bangladesh when I will be there after Tithi gets her visa. Hopefully in three to four months.

Thank you.

My office is in downtown. The place I live in called Mississauga and the only way to reach downtown at the pick hour (6AM-8AM) is to take train. My brother dropped me off at the station at 7:30AM. Took the train at 7:45AM that reached the downtown Union Station at 8:20AM. As I was not sure what to do next and I did not want to take taxi (like I did during the interview), I started walking. My father and I browsed Google Maps the day before to find out the best path that reaches my office from the Union Station. So I had the route in my mind, that helped me recognizing the street names. On my way I forgot how many blocks will I have to walk and which road will lead me to the office. So I stepped in to a coffee shop, took a cup of coffee and took out my laptop. I had the map saved, so I studied that well, yet again. After walking for 20 more minutes I reached my office. It took me almost an hour walk to reach there. From Monday I will not be walking from station to office, because now I know there are Street Cars that takes $2.75 to travel between Station to Niagra Street (street that leads to my office).

Well, life has started rolling with busy schedule. I hope I can keep up with pace here. Please do pray for me.

Ramadan Mubarak to all of you. Take care and God Bless!

Thanks
