Another extension of Scot’s dependency

Md Toriqul Islam

“It’s all for nothing if you don’t have freedom.” Now the speech, which was cited by famous ‘Braveheart’ movie heartthrob actor ‘William Wallace’ is nothing but days ago when Scottish raised their voice to get freedom was great inspirational, I think. But they had got nothing instead anything under the delicious set of promotion offered by British Empire.

British empire. The empire, whose sun went not down. The empire that is ruling for centuries but yet is thirsty.

It’s the history of hundreds year old imperial greed. It is a history of fighting, exploitation, a union and dependency. It is the history of Britain ruled Scots, who, days ago, tried to give up this bracelet of dependency but they could not.

Even Scotland’s First Minister Alex Salmond, also the leader of the Scottish National Party (SNP), backed including such an alternative, arguing that he was “not for limiting the choices of the Scottish people,” Reuters reported on Friday.

Now question then why they did so throwing them towards an impeccable social uneasiness as Yes or No parties? When this uneasiness may create a social division between British and Scottish enjoyers. It’s a question of To be or Not to be but it may rise.

They could not because they have some needs and mental enslavement, which they cannot relinquish yet.

Me, the Indian sub-continent’s national, believe it may happen with same results, if we get such chances to embed ourselves with such giant ruler. It is because colonialism not only invades but also washes your brainchild, self-choices.

Here they had made history exploitation, history of humiliation but what they return? Nothing but barriers. How nice the gift is!

Fight for flying food

Md Toriqul Islam

Life is beautiful. No, I am not telling about 1997’s Italian tragicomedy film. Rather I am talking about the words only, which, at glance, circulate a blink of happiness towards our brain cells.

But it is a rare moment towards the Pakistani dwellers, who are fighting against devastating flood in the recent times. They are fighting gathering minimum substances to carry on their tomorrows.

They are fighting for foods bag which sometimes given by the country’s aid distributors. Sometimes they have to run behind food’s vehicles, sometimes behind helicopters, which are appointed for removing their miseries.

Enthral Supermoon

Md Toriqul Islam

A tranquil moment is grasping at Belarusian sky, where a prevailing Minsk wind with aboriginal silent is daring to dance again with festive supermoon behind a cross on a church for the last time of this year.

On the other hand, Buddhist at the Kande Viharaya Temple in Aluthgama of Sri Lanka is preparing their final hours of Poya, a full-moon religious festival.

It is because the supermoon, also known as “Harvest Moon”, will be seen tonight with 14 percent larger and 30 percent brighter than regular one for the last time of 2014. The earth-dwellers would be able to see off with naked eyes.

On 10 August 2014, the moon was first seen with the unbelievable closest view.

It is also called “Harvest Moon” because of its status as the full moon closest to the Northern Hemisphere’s autumnal equinox on September 22nd. The tradition is that the bright moon helps light the way for farmers bringing in their crops late into the evening.

What is a supermoon?

A supermoon is the coincidence of a full moon or a new moon with the closest approach the Moon makes to the Earth on its elliptical orbit, resulting in the largest apparent size of the lunar disk as seen from Earth.

The technical name is the perigee-syzygy of the Earth-Moon-Sun system. The term “supermoon” is not astronomical, but originated in modern astrology.
