The Diary of Dhaka's Day-Dreamer

What's the difference between a scientist and a artist? Well, both are primitive, art and science. And both were able to get free from the still primitive knowledge called Philosophy. And you know what, they both try to watch the world and analyze the things as the God himself. But what are the differences. If you have given a choice, to pick either one, which one would you prefer? If I'm given that choice, I guess, I would prefer the Artist; though, I like the Scientists more. (I am a skeptic, myself). Well, so much for my point of view. Lets get back to the old question. Appeart from the similarities, what is the difference between an Artist and a Scientist. I guess, even I can not give a clear answer. But I can show you, through analogy. Take the sun for exampl. For us, I mean, any ordinary people, it's the good old sun which gives us light & heat during the day. And during summar time, it's hard to endure its heat. For a Scientist, it's a average G-4 ...

'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.

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.

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.
