“One way or another, academic life is likely to be forever changed. The damage caused by COVID-19 can be viewed optimistically as a fertile ground for establishing a better reality. A seismic change of this magnitude offers an opportunity to reboot the education system, aligning it better with our guiding principles and discarding its administrative inefficiencies. Doing so will require the drive and ideas of our younger colleagues, who will also be the primary bearers of the implications. Let’s make sure that they survive the current financial storm and construct a better version of academia, following the fine tradition of improvements since the initial version of the Platonic Academy.“

যদি তোর   ডাক শুনে কেউ না আসে   তবে   একলা চলো রে।

একলা চলো,   একলা চলো,   একলা চলো,   একলা চলো রে ॥

যদি   কেউ কথা না কয়,   ওরে ওরে ও অভাগা,

যদি   সবাই থাকে মুখ ফিরায়ে   সবাই করে ভয়–

                   তবে   পরান খুলেও তুই   মুখ ফুটে তোর মনের কথা   একলা বলো রে ॥

যদি   সবাই ফিরে যায়,   ওরে ওরে ও অভাগা,

যদি   গহন পথে যাবার কালে কেউ ফিরে না চায়–  

                 তবে   পথের কাঁটাও তুই   রক্তমাখা চরণতলে   একলা দলো রে ॥

যদি   আলো না ধরে,   ওরে ওরে ও অভাগা,

যদি   ঝড়-বাদলে আঁধার রাতে   দুয়ার দেয় ঘরে– 

                  তবে   বজ্রানলেআপন   বুকের পাঁজর জ্বালিয়ে নিয়ে   একলা জ্বলো রে ॥

English translation

 If they pay no heed to your call walk on your own.

Walk alone, walk alone, walk alone, walk all alone.

If none speaks, o wretched one,

If all turn their face away and cower in silence—

          Then open out your heart

dear one, speak out your mind, voice alone.

If everyone spurns, o wretched one

If all leave you in the lurch in wilderness

         Then trample the trail of thorns

With your blood stained feet alone, on your own.

If no one holds up a light, o wretched one

And bolts the doors in dark, stormy night 

         Then in the lightning fire of pain

Kindle your own heart and keep it burning bright alone.

Rabindranath Tagore.

Returning back from a long break.....

I know I discovered myself,

I know I lost my rhythm,

But it teaches me a lot.

Life is not for one thing. When you can not think what you will do after failure, stop thinking.

You will definitely discover "You" in the "present" situation.

The most important thing is- it takes time to change the mindset, to change the society. But it is not impossible if we want. In this modern era, we don't need to memorize information rather we have to synthesize them. We can get all information in google with two clicks on our phone, tablets and pc. So, why will we follow the past ways, why will we waste our time in those works which we can easily do with technologies. The previous era, when Industrial revolution took place, the world needed hundreds of skilled workers. This trend still continues in our country. Most of the students are working with STEM majors. But now It's not the time to memorise the information and work with that. Now It's time to create something new, to make new information. Now it's not the time to fill up our head with facts, textbooks and teacher's lectures. Rather we have to learn how to operate with new facts, how to react in unfamiliar situations. This needs to think more about the things. To join the present revolution of the world, we have to sharpen our neurons to accept the unexpected things. Just like,

You will not ask only "WHY", rather ask also "WHY NOT?"
