New Year Resolution 2026!

A new year always feels like a fresh start, filled with renewed energy and a chance to realign life with long term goals.

In this post, I share my ten resolutions for 2026, ranging from reading more books and rebuilding healthy habits to strengthening relationships, deepening faith, and contributing through writing, learning, and social work. This is my attempt to live the year more intentionally and with greater balance. Read more

My Reading List 2025

In 2025, I set a simple reading goal to finish twelve books within the year. I did not fully meet that target, but the journey itself was meaningful. I managed to complete seven books that challenged my thinking, questioned my comfort zone, and deepened my appreciation for literature. This post reflects on those reads through my personal ratings, shaped by my own perspective and experience. These opinions are subjective and may resonate differently with other readers. Read more

Flashback 2025: Year of Transition

I began 2025 with clear goals around growth, learning, and balance, but the year gradually reshaped my priorities in unexpected ways. Some resolutions were achieved, many were deferred, and a few failed entirely. Yet this honest review is less about success or failure and more about transition. From professional ambitions to social service and finally to embracing life as father of toddler, 2025 became a year of reflection, realignment, and meaningful change. Read more

Family Retreat to Chuti Resort

After almost a year without a proper family trip, we finally managed a short getaway to Chuti Resort, Gazipur. With 12 of my family members, it was meant to be a refreshing break. The resort gave us quiet greenery, fun activities, and some beautiful moments, like strolling under rain-washed lights and sipping hot tea late at night. Of course, not everything was perfect. Despite some setbacks, with laughter, teamwork, and shared memories, the trip turned out to be a much-needed escape. In the end, Chuti Resort was a mix of charm and flaws, but the family bonding made it all worthwhile. Read more

বই পর্যালোচনা – ময়নাদ্বীপ

‘ময়নাদ্বীপ’ উপন্যাসটি মানিক বন্দ্যোপাধ্যায়ের ‘পদ্মা নদীর মাঝি’ উপন্যাসের অসমাপ্ত পরিণতির ওপর ভিত্তি করে লেখা। মূল উপন্যাস যেখানে কুবের ও কপিলার ময়নাদ্বীপে যাত্রার মাধ্যমে শেষ হয়, সেখান থেকেই মহি মহিউদ্দিনের কাহিনি শুরু। কিন্তু নতুন এই উপন্যাসে কুবের ও কপিলার জীবনের মোড় কীভাবে বদলায়? তাদের সম্পর্ক কোথায় গিয়ে দাঁড়ায়? সেই প্রশ্নগুলোর উত্তর খোঁজার চেষ্টা করা হয়েছে এখানে। উপন্যাসটি পুরোপুরি সন্তোষজনক হয়ে উঠতে পারেনি। হোসেন মিয়ার মতো গুরুত্বপূর্ণ চরিত্র গল্পে নিষ্প্রাণ হয়ে থেকেছে, কপিলার আচরণ অনেকটাই অবাস্তব মনে হয়েছে, এবং দ্বীপের বাস্তবতাও কিছু ক্ষেত্রে প্রশ্নবিদ্ধ। তবুও, কুবের-কপিলার নতুন জীবনের অনুসন্ধান পাঠকদের আগ্রহী করবে। ময়নাদ্বীপের গল্পকে আরও বিস্তৃত করে ভবিষ্যতে লেখা যেতে পারে, এমনকি হোসেন মিয়ার জীবনকাহিনি নিয়েও একটি শক্তিশালী উপন্যাস রচনা করা সম্ভব। Read more

Visiting Ekushe Book Fair 2025

Ekushe Boi Mela was once a highly anticipated event for me and my cousin. We carefully planned our book purchases, and the fair felt like a third Eid. In college and university, I continued the tradition, but over time, my visits became less frequent. This year, I had the special chance to visit with my family, including my father and my daughter on her first trip. Though brief, it was fulfilling, and I bought several books. I aim to overcome my habit of not finishing books and have set a goal to read at least 12 this year. The visit renewed my motivation. Read more
