The End of an Artist...



It has been a long time since I last wrote from my day-dreams. The same story follows, what can be written. Today, I got an answer.

I've always told my friends that, I'm one of the happy type person. What makes me happy? Well, I guess, most of what I wanted, has been achieved. What makes me think so? C'mon it's me, I know what I've wanted in this little life. And I'm not saying I've got everything, I'm saying, I've got most of them.

For example, what does an artist want? I guess I'm going too fast. Let's ask, why does an artist creates (From my point of view, Artists are Gods of their own world. They Creat.) a piece of art? For me, it's as simple as this, 'To share their feelings. To make the people feel what They feel.' But here comes the second question, How does an artist judges his work? How do they know they are successful in this? Well obviously, through feedback. When they see, people are expressing the same emotions what he wanted, or when they (the artists) got the slightest clue about their emotions, feelings, they've known about their work. It's been judged.

There all are from my point of view. Now, again, another question. What is the most common expectation of the artists? For me, I think, all of the artists want to judge their work. They always want to know, exactly what people are feeling, when they come across the piece of art. And they want to make people feel exactly what they wanted to make them feel. But they never quite get it right. That's why they keep on trying. And we get continuous supply of art from the artist.

I have never considered myself as an artist. But, I do write some songs (I sing those, too.). And I've always wanted this thing. But, sometimes, I get the feeling, that, I'm successful in making the people feel as I want them to feel when I sing them.

For example, today, I was singing one of my own songs and I could feel I have touched their hearts. I don't know if I'm right or wrong, but once I saw some, no all of my friends (every single one of them, can you imagine!) crying, when I finished a song. That was not expected. and after that, I had the feeling that, I've got what I've wanted. And there's nothing to do more. And I couldn't write for almost a year.

I guess, the feel of fulfillment, the taste of satisfaction kills an artist. because, there's nothing more to do. Unless, there's something new to do. completely new. I had touched their heart once, and I had the sensation, I couldn't do more. And I'm pretty much sure, that I won't be writing for a long time, and I won't at least sing this song for a very long time. I felt it as soon as I could feel their hearts today. And I guess, this is what kills an Artist. This feel of accomplishment, is the End of an Artist....

Ladies & Gentlemen Now I present you...

Do you know what VHDL is? It stands for 'VHSIC HDL'. Which stands for ‘Very High-speed Integrated Circuit Hardware Description Language’. As the name says, this is used to design and describe digital circuits (very complex) in a easy way. Our university's engineering curriculum has an elective course named - 'VHDL Modeling & Logic Synthesis'. Well it's considered as one of the toughest courses. All the students hesitates when taking this course. But I can assure you that there is a teacher who makes the course a piece of cake. But you know, there is no guarantee that you'd have him on your course. What should you do then. No problem. All you have to do is to go to road No. 21, Bloc-B, Banani, in front of house No. 76, 78 (which is another university.). Then you should find a little guy. The best way to recognize him is to start yelling - 'Hamba Hamba' and you'd hear a loud laughter. The laughing person is him. You'll find him with a cup o...

Let the divine hand solve your problems...

We had been under British colonial rulings for 200 years. Then we had been under Pakistani dictatorship. We had fought for establishing our mother language, Bangla as the official language of our country while under Pakistani rulings. The effect of all these is, we have a 12 year schooling on which we have English as our subject. After that, for higher education, most of the universities use English medium. And the ability to speak in English is taken as a measure of how smart a person is. Though I can't find how not speaking own language can be taken as smartness. But that's another story. Despite all these, we don't use English anywhere in our everyday activities. And I think except some rootless junks of the society, deep down ourselves, each of us have an unwillingness to learn the language. As for example, in our university, we have an English medium environment, but that is somehow limited inside the class. And sometimes, even inside the class, we freely use B...
