*সিলেট সরকারী কলেজ প্রাঙ্গণে নির্মিতস্মৃতিসৌধ -‘আশ্রয়’ সৃষ্টির নেপথ্য-ভাবনা :

এই স্মৃতিসৌধটি সাতটি খড় বিছানো হেলানোতল কে পাশাপাশি বিন্যস্ত করে এমনভাবে ডিজাইন করা হয়েছে যাতে সবগুলোকে একত্রে দেখলেএকটি কুঁড়েঘর মনে হয়। প্রতিটা হেলানো তল এক একজন বীর শহীদের মৃত্যু-চিহ্ন (epitaph)।এরাই বাংলা মায়ের বুক-খালি-করা দামাল ছেলের দল। ১৯৭১এর মুক্তিযুদ্ধে অংশগ্রহণকারীদের অধিকাংশই যে পল্লীমায়ের সন্তান তা বলাই বাহুল্য। তারা সেদিন কুঁড়েঘরের আশ্রয় ছেড়ে জীবনের বিনিময়ে স্বাধীনতা এনে দিয়েছিল আমাদের। ৭১-এ ওদের এনে দেওয়া স্বাধীনতাই আজ আমাদের একমাত্র আশ্রয়।

যদি সেইসব বাংলা মায়ের দামাল ছেলে বীর শহীদদের স্মরণ করতে হয়, তবে জাতি হিসেবে আমাদের স্মৃতির মিনার বা সৌধ হওয়া উচিৎএকটা বিশাল্ আকারের ‘কুঁড়েঘর’- যা আমাদের অতীত ঠিকানার সত্য-স্মারক,আমাদের গৃহে মুক্তির আলো এনে দেওয়া বীরদের আঁতুরঘর। এই সৌধটি মাটির দিকে ঝুঁকে আছে। উচ্চতা খুব বেশি নয়। ফুট পনেরোর মতো। এর সামনে দাঁড়ালে মনে হবে আমাদের পাড়াগাঁয়ের কোনো ভিটের সামনের উঠোনে দাঁড়িয়ে আছি। মনে হবে এই বুঝি সাত-রাজার-ধন মানিকেরা বেরিয়ে আসবে। ইচ্ছে হবে ’মা’ বলে ডাক দেই। একলা এর সম্মুখে দাঁড়ালে খালি বাড়ির শূন্যতা আপনাকে ঘিরে ধরবে। মনে হবে কারা যেন নেই, যাদের হয়তো এখানেই থাকার কথা ছিল। চকিতে এমনও ছবি ভেসে উঠতে পারে যে, সাত আসমানের পাড় হতে ওরাই এসে এখানে ঘর হয়ে দাঁড়িয়েছে।

*Philoshophy behind the creation:

This monument has been made by synchronizing seven inductive straw lying planes in such a way that they form the shape of a hut altogether. Each inductive plane is the epitaph of every valiant martyr. They are the vigorous patriots who have redundant their own mothers’ bosom for their motherland. There is no doubt that most of the freedom fighters of 1971 were from villages. They came out of the village huts and snatched freedom for us.  Now this independence is our only ‘Shelter’.

if we want to remember the sacrifice of those intrepid martyrs, the monuments made for them should be like ‘a big hut’—which is  the symbol of our true-past; first nursery huts of those braves who brought the light of freedom to us.

Nirjhor Cantonment Residential Area,Dhaka

Amazing Nirjhor Cantonment Residential Area... Nirjhor Residential Area at Dhaka Cantonment. This is quiet a charming area at Cantonment, Dhaka, if you havent been. A bridge illuminated with neon lights, nicely kept lake and a restaurant by the lake (Captains world). However, you may only chill there if you have defense reference. You will be asked about the referense once entering the Cantonment Area, and then again once you are entering Nirjhor Residential area. The guards can get specific such as what batch, or rank is the defense reference person you are referring to. They are quite strict. Say you are only here to get a bite in that Triveni restraurant and you entered Cantonment with a defense reference. Dont say you want to take pictures, not allowed.  *All Pics Are Collected From Internet...

The mosque incorporates elements that allow for filte...
