Stupidity Everywhere

Last Friday. I went to Dhaka International Trade Fair- 2016. Being the weekend, the place was quite crowded and everybody was very busy trying to make an entry. I was waiting in the line to buy a ticket from the counter. Suddenly, a middle aged man pushed me hard to enter the line and I fell down. But he didn't pay any attention to me. Rather, when I charged him for his misdeed, instead of being sorry, he seemed very angry and started arguing with me. I was quite astonished seeing his attitude. Such irresponsible people never ever follow any rules anywhere.

Morals First

I would like to report an incident of eve-teasing here. A few days back my friends and I were teased by students of a reputed college. This so called respected institution is educating some unruly eve teasers which is very unfortunate and alarming. When travelling by college bus, these students harass every girl they see on the roads. Handling these perpetrators is not easy, especially when there are fifty of them passing lewd comments, making vulgar gestures towards girls. Youth are the future of a country. But looking at them I can only see men devoid of conscience; a country which is led by such students, who are disrespectful towards women, will surely fail. I sincerely hope that some measures will be taken to curb this evil practice. To be properly educated, certification of degrees is not enough. One has to have morals first.
