got it tongue—palenstine is blood-soiled, a mother carries her child twice
in birth & death, the world is calm
moving towards amargeddon.
sorrow wings are flexible, fueled by
sounds of destruction, blood is autumn & rains in summer,
peace is extinct, in a world where supplication is a messiah.
DEATH WIDTH IN LOVE
on a sweet november/at a Gaza jubilee/I found love/at a fated charade/unknown to me/a deathtrap waited at the hallway/you let in death/at my destruction/how betrayal/ruined the love/I build for an immortal ascension/to the seven gates of paradise.
LOVE IS NOT BROTHERHOOD
memories hurt,
the pained ones are etched
like a padigram in our soul
before the wind threw us in
the southern wind, our stand
was made of rock & trust
our colour varied, yet red was our
bloodline. the old days was gold
not until it turned a bad blood
between the brotherhood that once made,
the sun thirsty for lemonade, to cheer
our bond that sparkle than it hays.

NOVEMBER 10
With the death of the valuable leader of the Turkish world, Gazi Mustafa Kamal Atatürk, in the Dolmabahçe Palace on 10/11/1938 at 09:05, the great Turkish world was left orphaned and since that day, we live in a world without Atatürk, with the awareness that that great personality cannot be replaced. We continue to walk on the great Turan path he showed, with confident steps, without falling into pessimism.
As every year, on this day, November 10, 2023, Ataturk Commemoration Day is held. In this context, the world leader, the Great Leader veteran Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, on his way to a life of 57 years, not only as a commander who successfully managed the War of Independence of the Turkish nation, but also The works he performed for the country were written in golden letters in history...Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk fit 11 wars, 24 medals, 7 state decorations, 13 books, 38 factories and many military achievements and titles into his 57-year life. It was not enough, to be the "sick man"
He established a bright new Republic from a so-called empire. He was both a very good soldier and a very successful statesman. He took science and reason as his guide. He had endless faith in this country and its people. He was the genius of the century, that great personality was blessed with these lands. And unfortunately, the Turkish world was left an orphan after he was sent off to eternity on November 10, 1938.
To date, statues of that great personality have been erected in 35 countries, 35 squares were named after him, we can list the countries where his statue was erected as follows. Chile, Cuba, Kyrgyzstan, Japan, India, Hungary, Kazakhstan, Australia, Romania, Netherlands, Czech Republic, Afghanistan, Turkmenistan, Poland, Belgium, Peru, Dominique, New Zealand, Italy, Macedonia, Israel, America, Azerbaijan, Santuago. The death of Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, whose statue was erected in many countries, was widely covered in the world press.
The fact that 22 news and 265 articles were published in the French press alone is a sign of how important a genius Atatürk was. While remembering him with respect, respect and longing, we should not forget his words. I think it is necessary... "My spiritual heritage is science and reason. Those who want to adopt me after me, if they accept the guidance of reason and science on this basic axis, they will be my spiritual heirs."

THE WAR OF WORLD
It was 31th century. The world was much better then. Then many types of advanced machines were invented in the world. Such as Time Machine, Spaceship, Adaptation Light etc. There were also many advanced inventions. People did not use any petrol or diesel vehicles then. Then special types of scientific vehicles were invented.
As a result of one of these machines, the whole world was in the hands of man. Humans could travel to any planet using advanced spaceships. Humans wanted to make the climate of Mars similar to that of Earth. Humans then use Adaptation Light to work on climate change on Mars without hindrance. Gradually the climate became suitable for human habitation.
Then scientists started observing the neighboring planet Venus. Then they noticed changes in the weather on Venus. But they didn't think much about it. After many days, the scientists saw that the climate had changed a lot. Then the scientists decided to go to Venus. They went there in a spaceship and found that there was a kind of life living there. The scientists became invisible with the help of the invisible machine and wandered there. Scientists see that aliens have built many big cities there. They also made many weapons.
Scientists noticed that the weapons are much more advanced than the earth's weapons. This means that the aliens are much more intelligent than the people of the earth. Then the scientists came to know from there that the stay of the aliens on Venus will be short-lived because soon Venus will be destroyed. So the aliens were looking for other planets. And they found Earth and aliens also knew that Earth was inhabited by life. So they are making the weapons to destroy the human race on earth.
Then after knowing these scientists quickly returned to earth. Scientists get together to think how to stop the aliens. Scientists try to communicate with aliens via satellite. But the scientists did not succeed in this. But they build another satellite and scientists use strange words to describe the aliens. Finally they succeeded in communicating with the aliens. Then the scientists tell the aliens that there was human habitation on earth, they should find another planet. But the aliens didn't listen. They prepared to invade Earth.
Then the Earth scientists decided to use the time machine to save the Earth. Scientists used a time machine to travel to the past and take some miniature bombs with them. The scientists planted the bomb in all the spaceships of the aliens and returned to the present. When the aliens left for Earth, the scientists warned the aliens. But they didn't pay attention to the words of scientists. The scientists then detonated the bombs on the spaceships loaded with alien weapons. Then the aliens got scared and the aliens surrendered. Scientists say we need a planet to live on.
So we wanted to take over the world. Where will we live? Already the climate of Mars has become habitable. Scientists believed that good relations with aliens will benefit mankind. So the scientists asked the aliens to live on Mars and the aliens accepted. Many years later, aliens have built cities on Mars and are living peacefully. And now aliens have a good relationship with humans. Scientists are discovering more new things with alien. And the world has become a very beautiful and advanced planet. And the human race has become full of modernity.

DAVID HOLMES: THE BOY WHO LIVED – A Documentary About Healing, Defying Gravity, and Living after the Fall
David Holmes always wanted to defy gravity. At such a young age, he had a desire to play God, since he was merely a child, David tested his limits, and his heart -as his mother and father affirmed- never knew fear. A dream that turned into the reality of life when David flew and flew until, like Icarus, the laws of the universe decided to intervene and restructure his life.
It was like fear shrunk and coagulated, becoming smaller and smaller, occupying less and less space in his heart. David Holmes was invincible like a Greek prince from Greek mythology, Hercules or Atlas. And this young Hercules set his sails for “Harry Potter,” a magical beyond magical set for kids, a place where he could stretch his divine muscles and reach the heights of Mount Olympus.
On movie sets, dynamics are different. Actors are not the only ones who shine. They are not the ones who attract the most attention, and sometimes they’re not the heroes of the story, at least not the true ones. So in Daniel Radcliffe’s eyes, David Holmes was a hero, someone larger than life. To Daniel, David was the real Harry Potter, strong, confident, and defying gravity, in a game of Quidditch, David could have easily been the winner.
But this movie is not about defying gravity, it’s about defying what weighs people to the ground. David Holmes in all his cheery acceptance and also struggling with a new life, gives an example of a friend whom everybody needs during tough times. David oozes hope despite the hardships of a newfound condition and the difficulty of coping with friends and family the most; those who love but sometimes can’t separate the past and the present from their mindsets.
“DAVID HOLMES: THE BOY WHO LIVED” is an eye-opener to a world I haven’t had an idea about before. Have you ever been mesmerized by the skill and athleticism of stunt performers? The way they effortlessly maneuver their bodies, manipulating bones and muscles to execute daring feats is truly awe-inspiring! They are in tune with all the scary prosthetics and harnesses, they hang up from high distances, get kicked and shoved, and get the full treatment. How actors are sometimes the ones left starstruck with people who are doing the real work. In “Harry Potter”, those were the stuntpeople like David and Marc Mailley.
One of the things I liked about this documentary, was how Daniel receded into the background, allowing David to have his moment and shine. It wasn’t a vanity project for Daniel where he could flex his muscles and make himself the focus of the narrative but gave David the air to breathe and fully express himself.
Dan Hartley does a great job of orchestrating this whole movie and leading a cast of actors and non-actors, the interviews were fresh and highly engaging, interweaved with the massive and compelling behind-the-scenes footage of David as the true Harry Potter, the real wizard whom “film people” used as the vessel on which they could place Daniel’s movie star face, and create magic. It was strange to see the tragedies behind a story that compelled millions and millions of kids worldwide, but it was also a testament to the power of filmmaking, the resilience of a human spirit, and the real love between friends, the love that made Marc stay by David’s side, and Daniel executive-produce his friend’s story, eager to let it out into the world.
FRIENDSHIP IN WAR
THIS IS A STORY OF A WARRIOR MEANS ABOUT A FREEDOM FIGHTER, WHO WAS IN THE MOHIUDDIN JAHANGIR’S TEAM.
The day was 12th December 1971. Yes this is a story that was happened in the liberation war. A warrior named Abdul Motin was eating his food after two days because the supplies were off for two days. Suddenly their captain Mohiuddin Jahangir came and told them:
Mohiuddin: Hey my brave warriors, there is a good news that our country is almost independent but we have to kill Pakistani enemies to free Chapainawabganj.
Mokshed: Yes captain we will!
Kinu: But captain, we don’t have enough resources to fight.
Mohiuddin: Yes, I already sent a message and I think the recourses will come soon.
Motin: Inshallah captain, Joy Bangla.
Mohiuddin: Joy Bangla
After that day the freedom fighter team of Gazi Rahim Uddin came and said,
Rahim Uddin: Hey, Mohiuddin, your team can’t fight against the Pakistani army. Please give the opportunity to us to free Chapainawabganj.
Mohiuddin: NO! Rahim, I know my team is not as powerful as your team but we have enough mind power and confidence to beat them.
Rahim Uddin: Ok, but you have only the next day to prove your team. If you can’t, my team will smash them.
Mohiuddin: Oh! my warrior brother.
On that 13th December night there was a meeting with Mohi Uddin’s team that how they could attack next day.
Mohi Uddin was briefing the plan:
Mohiuddin: I and Mokshed will remain in the front and we will always fight to make them surrender. Then Kinu will throw bomb if there were any barracks or barricades. Got it?
Mokshed: Yes, captain.
Kinu: Yes, captain.
Mohiuddin: Now Motin, Karim and Hakim will cover us firing.
Then Mohiuddin made 10 teams with these patterns and they started to go with the street of Mahanada river because the Pakistani base camp was situated at the other side of the river.
Now that was the war time, Captain Mohiuddin Jahangir was walking and saw the base camp but suddenly there was an artillery attack and captain shouted "attack down’’. Many of them jump to bunker.
The enemy was informed that they will attack and they were ready. But Mohiuddin was a very brave man. He took a machine gun and firing to the enemy, he does not have the fear of death and his partner Kinu was throwing bombs and destroy the bunkers with
Mohiuddin.
But then the Pakistani military started firing rapidly with their modern
weapons. Suddenly a bullet hit to the head of Mohiuddin Jahangir and he fell down. The captain was down and the team was like a boat without a controller. Suddenly an artillery blasts beside Motin.
He jumped in the bunker but when he stood and looked that he was
surrounded by four Pakistani army and he couldn’t fight with them because he had a rifle which could only fire one bullet in one round. When he was on the corner of the death, his best friend Mokshed saw it and he had a machine gun and he fired rapidly to save his best friend’s life and his accuracy saved Motin. The war finished after 30 minutes. Mohiuddin sacrificed his life to free Chapainawabganj.
The next day the team of Gazi Rahim Uddin came to fight and won the battle. And finally, on the 16th of December, 1971, Bangladesh officially got their independence.
We lost a hero just two days before the independence.
N.B: The story was inspired by a real story about Motin and Kinu is my grandfather.
