BRACU: From excellence to exhaustion

Image
Brac University; one of the leading universities in Bangladesh, has some unresolved issues. And those are growing worse gradually .          The amount of pressure it puts on its students is back-breaking, to say the least. And if you take 4 courses while you're a fresher, eyes full of dreams & hopes; your life becomes a small piece of hell, to put it simply. There's 2 labs every week, usually. And there's at least 2 quizes, 1 assignment, class tasks etc every week. Not to mention the hurdle one has to face while commuting to the university. I get that BracU wants its' students to do well in the exams & all; being that most of its students struggle with the concept of studying itself. But, putting a tremendous pressure on them isn't going to make them more attentive & study more. If anything; most will get off-put, get frustrated about the quizes they're not doing well on, will fail to submit their assignments on time & in the worst case, they...

Why I keep a sinister dark void of a beast as my pet

Image
  This is Spook , my pet cat. Spook, unlike his name suggests, is not spooky; he is a scaredy cat himself. He often gets mistaken for everything other than a cat: a dog, a fox, a plush, a bear even. Even I regularly mistake him for a pile of dark clothes.     Being the sinister void he is, he is often found to be looming, watching us over from great heights.  This mythical dark beast enjoys feasting on the flesh of creatures from the deep blue seas (aka fish). Spook, the mysterious shadowy feline, seems devoid of emotions; he does not particularly enjoy cuddles. However, there are times when he yowls and scratches behind my chair, indubitably seeking some pats on the head. Yet, as soon as he receives them, he behaves as if he never displayed his need for affection. There are times, however, when he does live up to his title. a jumpscare, much spooky Seeing a black lump of floof, tucked away in the corners, is not something you'd normally expect when you o...

However, I genuinely believe that it's important to have someone to look up to. As for me, you can probably guess who that person is by reading my title.

Yes, he's none other than Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro.

Image
  Background : Suicide forest in Japan In Japan, there's a place called Aokigahara, near Mount Fuji. It's a big, dense forest, often called the "sea of trees." But sadly, it's also known for something sad - it's one of the places with the most suicides in the world, just after the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. Aokigahara has a spooky history. Some believed it was home to vengeful Japanese spirits called yĆ«rei. It's so eerie that they even made a scary movie there in 2016 called "The Forest." But there's more to this story than just ghost stories. It's about depression, suicide, and why it's vital to break the silence about mental health.
