By Md Mujib Ullah

addendum if you look at my journey, from your point of view, you will find, i have been grateful to people who nurture me, encourage me, and criticise me to be better, to make me a thoughtful and considerate human in times of crises, in the era of finance. how can i forget those moments? i don’t ask you to be on my side rather i want my own space, my territory. if you don’t know what’s happening inside and around the world, how can you be updated? how can you be on par? you may not know what a bird thinks, and how a fish smiles in our region. checking me is a violation, i am not a weapon of chess. and it matters when you don’t make any assumptions about the issues. you are not heard of. do you know what i am doing now apart from typing verses with my hands and looking at the device’s screen? while you care about these, i am on top of the hour of hope. i look outside my windows on a spring afternoon, to see how leaves fall from the trees, and to enjoy the breeze. pause. no endnote. no final full-stop. a continual task…
