Me, Myself and THEM...
The little angel stories.


'Kids, kids, kids...' The angels shaped like human, aren't they? Have you ever tried to understand them? What is going on inside their minds, how they act or react on certain situation.

I have a school named 'Banani Biddya-Niketon' in front of my university. In my breaks, I watch them. I find it very amusing. And now I'm planning to start a Day-Care Center after I've graduated.

Somehow, the kids, always treat me as one of their own. Yes, they know that I'm older than them but they always behave like I'm their friend. So, everything runs fine with them. That's why, I like kids.

I'm a good listener. And the kids always have a tendency to discuss their personal matters and problems with me. But as a friend. There not looking for advise. But, as I'm a little older than them, if I sometime comment on something, they apprichate it.

Each person has a philosophic mind inside. And in a society like mine, they always try to prove themselves as philosophers.

But what’s that got to do with the kids? Well, from my experiences, I’ve found that, the kids too, sometimes get a bit philosophic. Their thoughts are much deeper than any grown person. And many times, I’ve found myself engaged in highly philosophic discussions with them, starting from just a “How are you”, “How’s everything going” type chat. And I always find it amusing.

Kids love to discuss about the behaviors of the grown-ups. They also find it amusing to behave like one. And they find ma an excellent partner for analyzing the people’s behaviors. I’m a good listener also. So, they never miss the opportunity to discuss about people when they meet me.

Enough boring talks, now I should share my experiences with you.


I’ve got a friend. A cute little girl, who loves ice-cream very much. I am also fond of it. Actually I met her at an ice-cream parlor. What I like about her most is her trying to act like older persons and telling me, “You should not have that much ice-cream, your Tonsil will burst”. And believe me, when she says this, she looks just like my mother, except she’s just 5-7 years old.

So, when I’m with her, I just go for chocolate. And she, trying to be my guardian, also leaves her desire to have ice-cream and takes chocolate, just because, she thinks, seeing her having ice-cream can make me depressed. By the way, she told me that, she doesn’t have any problem with cold and tonsil and it was confirmed by her mother.


At first, I thought, she doesn’t want to share her ice-cream, just in case I want a bite from her. But, actually, she cares fro me too much and doesn’t want my tonsil get busted. That’s why; she takes chocolate to make me feel even. Trust me, this is just the case. And I overheard it when, she was telling this to her friends. She also told them not to take ice-cream when they are with me out, eating.

And her friends? They always suggests chocolate fro me & themselves just like her.

When I asked her, “Chocolates also harms. It eats-up your teeth”; she smiled sweetly and said, “You don’t know. But when your teeth are eaten by the germs, the Tooth-Fairy will come and take the bad teeth & in return, it will give you a brand new one. And anyway, if you want to have just these teeth all along your life, just brush it well. All germs will go away. This is how; you can save your teeth. But there is no way you can save your tonsil by eating ice-creams.”


So thoughtful of her!!! I just love this caring behavior of her. She is always trying to be my Mom. She always sacrifices her deep desire for ice-cream just because of me. I’m a good admirer of her sacrifice. And I like it this way.


That’s probably the reason, I never told her that, I don’t have problem with my tonsil either.

Let the divine hand solve your problems...
(Continued...)


'last but not least'. I don't know the source of the saying. But it's really old. And it has been serving the human beings with equal usefulness as from its start. Like now.


I am one of the people, who's friends consider him a good palmist. Though, even I don't belive in palmistry. But I do find it amusing. In a sense, to be able to play with people's minds. It's like looking inside their minds and picking their thoughts. It's more like psychology to me. I do use some lines of their hands to guide me at first. But then, eventually, I get into the mind game.

I've explained it or rather tried to explain it to my friends time to time. But then they ask me to do the trick anyway. And this time, knowing the trick, they try to get a person I've never met before and tries to prove my predictions wrong. It's not that, they fail every-time, but 8 out of 10 of their attempts fail. No matter how unknown the person is, I somehow manage to get some correct predictions. Then again, sometimes, the person knowing the game, completely refuses anything I say. But I have found that, later, most of them admitted that I was 70% correct in my predictions.


Then what my friends do is more amusing. They try to argue between then that I was giving generalized comments which are true for most of the people. Well, by this time, I started to have fun and try to be more specific like telling their past. My accuracy doesn't fall this time either. This is the fun.


This leads them to strengthen their believe in my power. But why do they always fail? Because, it is also another mind game leading them to believe in my powers. By trying to prove me wrong, they fall right into my trap. No offence, but they are stupid enough, not to figure it out that by explaining my trick, I start a long process of leading them to try to prove me wrong.


You know what their problem is? They always try to get a new person. But they fail to admit a simple fact. They think, as I am a Computer Engineering student. I am not a psychologist, good enough to understand a psychology of a completely new person.


It's not that I don't make any mistake. I do make some mistakes sometimes. In persuading them to prove me wrong, I sometime go very fast. And my friends get fishy. They ask me how had I been able to tell the persons past from start. Is it by reading the lines or not. Then, I give them a mysterious smile. (Though I don't believe in mysteries either but they do) I just say, 'We were created by a divine hand. And it has been controlling, and guiding us since. And if you light a thousand candles with one, each one burns with same illumination. We are also divine. Each part of our bodies have a touch of that hand. (With a philosophic tone) We are also divine that way. (They don't have the willingness to challenge their own divinity.) Our hands has a divine touch also. So, the lines in the hand might show some touch of his planning with us. You just have to know how to interpret the meanings'.


And thus the divine hand saves my day and their faith in my powers.

Let there be light...


What do you think, if we had infrared sensing capabilities, we could see better? Or we could achieve further advancement in the development of humanity? Well I don't know, maybe we could, or maybe we couldn't. But surely it'd give us the power to see in the dark.

I am sure, several times in your life; you've wanted to be able to peek in the dark.

Let's think about my own experience. I was at my university area, engaged in lively chat with my friends. It was almost dark. One of my friends had his girlfriend with him. At some moments, she became furious on him and was giving him a 'If looks could burn you into ash' type look. I know her very well and believe me; she looks like something to remember for a very long time. But I also knew that, it won't last for a minute. So, I decided to take a picture of her. But no matter how hard I tried (hiding the camera from her) I could not see her through the camera to take a picture. Just because it was dark. After few tries, only one picture was able to show a faint outline of a human. But by the time, I was caught and she was giving her wonderful smile at me.

Let us leave that subject. Let us assume that, you have gone somewhere and you have a very beautiful girl their. The only problem is you can't figure it out that, is she looking at you or not because she is standing at a darker corner. In that situation, would you want to see in the dark?
For another example, let's say that, you've got a newly married couple arrived at the building just in front (or by the side) of your home. I'm very much sure, in that situation; you'd surely want to be able to see in dark, at night, when their light goes off.

I can't make you see in the dark, but, I can give you a suggestion. Get a handy-cam, those with good zoom and night vision. You won't know the color. But you can always pass your idle times by guessing, what was the color of their dresses (I'm trying to be roads, civilized & decent) last night.

Wouldn't you want to be able to see in the dark? Human being has a very deep, unknown fear of the dark. If we could see in the dark, the fear will not exist. I am sure; we would get some benefits in some situations. But anyway, the human being doesn't have the physical qualities required for infrared sensitivity. So all we can do is to arrange for more light. So, guys, lets put our hands together and say, 'LET THERE BE LIGHT...'

P.S.- Whatever you do, don't forget to send me a copy if you take my suggestion.
