I was watching Nazeem Hussain’s videos on YouTube. I found him while randomly browsing YouTube. I found him to be interesting and funny and his jokes are to the point.

After watching some of his videos, I realised that YouTube is suggesting Islamic videos to me. And I was wondering what is going on. I used YouTube without any account for a long time. But I cannot recall a time when youtube suggest Islamic videos for me. Most of the time I watch tech videos or documentary/news or comedy. I cannot recall if I ever watch or search religious videos including Islamic videos.

I was born a Muslim. I was told Allah exists and He created everything along with other religious teachings. I cannot recall how much of it I accepted and how much of it I rejected.

Once I was travelling by bus. The bus was crossing a bridge over a river. I was watching the river and suddenly it hit me - who created the river. I know that the bridge was built by humans. But the river? And what about the mountain, earth and ultimately the universe? On that day I truly believed that Allah exists.

I love books and readings. I feel that if I do not read something for a while, I started to lose my sanity.

Nowadays, I mostly read on my digital devices e.g. cell phone, iPad and Kobo ebook reader. But I love reading physical books. If you love books, you already know this - the smell of a new book, turning pages, running your fingers over the pages of the book and the sound of it - it is a heavenly feeling.

If you do not know Jack Welch, he was the CEO of GE for almost two decades and during this time, GE increased its market value from $12 billion in 1981 to $410 billion when he retired in 2001. Fortune magazine named him the “Manager of the Century,” and in 2000 The Financial Times named G.E. “the World’s Most Respected Company” for the third straight year. So, he was admired as the best CEO of the century and revered by and considered to be a master manager, specially by business people, academics. You will find a number of Harvard Business Review articles where he was described as a great manager and his strategy and actions were suggested to be followed by us.

In 2016, England was touring Bangladesh. In one of the one-day matches, Tamim Iqbal altercated with English players which almost lead to physical interaction. I was watching the match on TV. As Bangladesh improve their game, Bangladeshi players become more aggressive as well - that’s my view. This aggressiveness is praised by most of the Bangladeshi fan, they appreciate it.

Same thing you will see with Virat Kohli and some other Indian player - on the field they are aggressive, most of the time, too much. But pointing out Bangladesh and India would not be fair. In my view, except New Zeland, almost of the other test playing countries show this trait from time to time. Things do not end here. Most Cricket players also cheat. And Australia takes it to another level.
