   "Football is a game you play with your mind" - a legendary quote that has led to the foundation of a new modern football that was discovered by one of the greatest of all time Sir Johan Cruyff . Johan Cruyff was a Dutch footballer and coach widely regarded as one of the greatest and most influential figures in the history of the sport. Born on April25,1947, in Amsterdam, Netherlands, Cruyff's contribution  to football extended far beyond his playing career.

People who are born between 1997-2013 are called Generation Z and are known for their distinct characteristics shaped by technological advancement and socio political changes. Gen-Z is the first generation to have grown up with widespread internet access from childhood. In our country there was a conception that the gen z generation is tech-addicted, they do not care much about what is happening in the country. But the rebirth of Bangladesh has proved this perception wrong. This generation has proved their love for their motherland. As we all know, Bangladesh became independent in 1971 after defeating Pakistan in the liberation war. But Bangladesh became independent for the second time after the downfall of the fascist government who were ruling the country for 16 years. Bangladesh became independent for the second time on 05 August, 2024. The story of the rebirth of Bangladesh which is also known as Bangladesh 2.0 started in June, 2024 when some university students started pr...

It was around 5 p.m. on Tuesday when my dad suddenly asked, "Wanna go to Cox's Bazar this weekend?" The question left my brother and me shocked. We just looked at each other, wondering if he was serious or joking. It wasn’t long before our dad cleared up our confusion, saying, "Tonmoy, give me the details of some 5-star hotels near the beach. An ocean view from the room would be preferable." Hearing this, without losing a second, I got to work. It’s not like I haven’t been to Cox's Bazar before, but this time it was different because it was a family trip with just the four of us, after a long time. The last time we went on a family trip was a couple of years ago. Although we have visited various tourist spots in our country, it was always with either relatives or friends. Since it was just the four of us this time, I was really excited. That being so, I googled the details of some of the hotels I knew and showed my dad. After a bit of research on his own, he...

A Personal Journey in Jeju Island: Paradise On Earth   I had always heard about Jeju Island- being enriched with many natural phenomena- besieged with clean and pristine beaches, enclaved with many volcanic landscapes, and full of cultural fortune. Never in my wildest dreams, I had ever thought that all the place s I had ever visited so far were nowhere near the experience I got from that single Island of m y country. It is indeed one of the best places to be endowed fully with nature in South Korea. Jeju Island is South Korea’s largest island, covering an area of 1,833.2 km 2 (707.8 sq mi), which is 1. 83% of the total area of the country (Wikipedia - The Free Encyclopedia, 2024) .   Arriving at Jeju: A Warm Welcome   Descending into Jeju International Airport was a prelude to what lay ahead. I looked out of the plane window, and there it was- the shimmering coastline, vast green field s, and the silhouette of Hallasan Mountain standing proudly against the ...

Milkshakes are the ultimate comfort drink, whether you're enjoying a fancy one at a five star hotel or quickly blending up one at your own home. But, how different are they really when it comes to taste and flavor? Is there a difference beyond the price tag or are they more alike than we think? Let's compare two vanilla milkshakes, one homemade and one from a five star hotel, to explore their eccentric qualities. I chose a classic vanilla milkshake for this experiment. Why vanilla? Because it strikes the perfect balance between timeless simplicity and rich flavor. The key elements I'll be looking for:  Taste,  Texture,  Price and  Presentation.  Let’s jump in and see how these two milkshakes compare! Homemade Milkshake: Simplicity at its best For this homemade version, I only used 3 ingredients: Milk, Ice Cream and Water. Making this was as easy as tossing everything into a blender and pressing the power button. In under 5 minutes, a tasty and creamy vanilla sha...

          In the year 2005, a legendary comedy show, How I Met Your Mother (HIMYM) had aired for the first time ever and pretty fast it got a distinguished recognition among its audience because of its hilarious comedy, wholesome moments and amazing story telling. Over a decade, for nine seasons, the show conquered the hearts of it's audience as we, the audience, got to witness how Ted Mosby met the mother of his children. And how unexpected life can be.                                         Photo: Cliff Lipson/CBS via Getty Story telling on point          Something that sticks out like a sore thumb about this show is that the story telling proposition is very unorthodox. Throughout the series every scene shown is from the perspective of the protagonist Ted Mosby, who is telling his story to his children in the year 2023 about meeting th...
