it’s the life, around me…

thinking…


i am trying to feel the ‘thing’ which keep me busy all the time. I can’t separate a moment when actually I don’t think anything except may be the sleeping time. I am not sure… I can remember the dreams sometime, but may be my mind also keeps thinking when my body sleeps. Today on my way to office I was watching a man walking with a bunch of newspapers in his left hand. Suddenly a magazine dropped on the ground and he didn’t notice it. I think there were no other human witnessed this very silly incident. I don’t know why, I was terrified until the men came back after few moments and took the magazine… and then I thought may be that could be a story. Then suddenly another story came to my mind… few weeks back one day, on my way back to home I was talking with a rickshaw puller who was asking me about computer games. He was talking which games he mostly plays at home and why he likes those. Well, may be… actually it’s sure that I am not writing in the same way how I thought and I realized it that particular moment when I was thinking it. That means when I was thinking, I knew that I’ll be not able to write it exactly in the way I am thinking it… ha ha ha. So confusing! So then another thought came to my mind… how can I express my thinking in the exact way I think? I am still thinking and that keep me busy all the time…

the newspaper site

the daily star


at last it came to live… the newspaper site. i was very ambitious but its not exactly what a i had dreamed when started the work. the daily star is the most popular english daily in bangladesh. so it was such a big opportunity for me. my responsibility was to create the look… the design. here is just 10%-15% of the total plan and i am not sure when it’ll be finished with all dreamed features. i”ve learned too many things and i’d always like to work with such type of website.

still in love with the idea of love…

For last few months I’ve published two posts on average in every month, but this month nothing yet. I was thinking lot to write something… few words or few lines. But nothing came up. So what happened to me? The season is changing… winter has come. So it’s foggy sometime… specially at night on my way back home I enjoy it. I am working hard… sometime harder. The newspaper site going to be live within few days, I got another project from a multinational organization…I’ve designed, gave name to a website for one my colleague. So I think I am doing good… and still in love with the idea of love… hahaha…

love around me :: when things go wrong

I am feeling jealous with those who think themselves happy in love matter. To me love is something so simple like every day’s life; you’d like to live for it. It becomes the most complicated when happens in wrong way. Before expressing, it’s not a big deal… it probably could create some deep sighs. But it could be the worst thing if it’s understood after expressing it to a wrong person. So people should think at least twice, thrice… as many times possible. It’s something you can’t withdraw. The saddest part of life is to let a wrong person know that you love her/him.

working with newspaper site

the best of newspaper design


For the first time I am working with a newspaper site. So last few days I have been looking into the famous news websites so much and I could even see those in my dreams. the guardian is the best in everyway… it influenced me from the very beginning. It’s amazing how the designer designed it only with the contents… it has a feeling like nothing could be better than this. New York Times is another best one with the conventional newspaper feelings. Independent is a good example of placing ads. Los angelos times is modern with a flavor of conventionality. Washington post is a site with two logos… ha ha ha… they are in real dilemma with the old and new. Bbc is classic, cnn is well designed… and many more…


My client gave a book from their archive ‘the best of newspaper design 27’. It’s a huge world… and I know nothing about it.

Walk without a destination

It was a moonlighted night and we were sitting on a street. The moon was not so strong to overflow everything with its puzzling light but it was nearly sufficient for drawing the footsteps. I was thinking… may be it’s a dream. But it was drizzling to make me awake and realize it’s actually not a dream. Before sitting on the street we have walked more than 10 km within 2 hours… walk without a destination. Actually when we started, we had a destination but soon we lost it. We were six in a group, it was midnight and no one of us knew the way where we wanted to go. It was a deep rural area… the way was muddy. First hour we didn’t even realize that we have lost our way. It was so exciting when we became sure that we have really lost our way. Somehow we had reached our destination… it was like discovering the highest peak of the world. Then we sat on the street… passed the rest of the night motionless… now it really seems that I just described a dream of mine.
