#Day30 2017JAN31

I woke up at 9 am with a bad headache. I slept late last night. I checked my Kakao and found I wasn't dreaming the chat. It really happened!
I decided to keep myself busy today. I started reading books I found yesterday. I found one where it describes deliberately about 'Ohabi Andolon' I am not sure how accurate the history described there though. I tried to avoid my phone all day. My friends were supposed to come and I asked them not to come. I watched an action movie which didn't have any story. I don't know why they fought that much literally!
My mother made some pitha which is locally known as 'haath-chani pitha' It was like very tiny soft  'tteok' aka rice cake. Cooked with milk, coconut and ofcourse sugar. There were other ingredients for flavor like Cinnamon, Cardamom etc. Let's just call it sweet 'tteokpoki'
I had fish curry, lentils and leaves for dinner. I wrote for a while and after finishing one chapter I felt I should write in first person. So I rewrote the whole chapter.

So today I brought out all the books we have stored without care in our store room. I managed to bring out two sacks of books. Yes, they were in sacks! My family can be this cruel.
Anyway, I found one is full of my elder brother's text book along with mine. I didn't know my mother were reserving those. 
Another bag was full of madrasa books, monthly magazines and some real books. I found three books for MBA originally printed in USA and Singapore. I felt so bad that I study with photocopy of books sometimes use the pdf because the original printed ones are so super expensive!
My uncle studied in Madrasa and completed his study from Chittagong University while staying at our place. All these books were from him and he somehow refusing to take these back to his place. The condition of the books aren't the best, but readable.
I think I can spend my rest of the vacation with the novels I managed this time.

#Day28 2017JAN29

I woke up and was really hungry. I shouldn't have skipped my dinner. Anyway, today I had to do some laundry work. 
I had spicy shrimp for lunch. Then I read some and while watching Australia Open match between Federar and Nadal, I fall asleep. When I woke up, Federar already won the match!
I had spicy pitha which is locally known as 'Nunaas pitha' at evening. It was nice. 
I watched Indian Idol (Ref: photo)

Then I found Harry Potter on HBO so you know what to do when there's Harry Potter,right?

#Day27 2017JAN28

I started working on my translation nothing to be excited,  it's just first few words I finished on my very first day. Kudos to my motivation!

I woke up comparatively early. I couldn't sleep well at night. I watched a movie, The Unnamed. It was a nice one. After that I kept staring at ceiling and couldn't sleep. Anyway, from morning I kept reading online stories. I had my lunch with "Rui Macche er Do-peyaja" Loved that!
At evening I was tired and slept.
Ah, my friend wanted to meet me. I declined the idea.
At night I started watching another movie but soon I got distracted somehow. I watched news.

#Day26 2017JAN27

I woke really early and figured out it is already 8 in the morning. Then I remembered it's Friday, we have weekend on Fridays.  So everyone was asleep that made me feel I woke up super early.
My mother cooked 'Polaw' for lunch. We had Polaw with beef and pigeon. I know, in Korea the thought of eating pigeon meat makes one sick. In Bangladesh,  people love pigeons.  Even my uncle used to pet or should I say he had a farm?
Anyway,  eating pigeon is a bad idea. They barely have any muscles so it is basically just bones.



Anyway,  I had "Gajorer Haluwa" for evening snacks. Now that was super tasty!  I never liked this sweet thing (erm, maybe dessert?)  made of carrots before. It was yum!
I almost finished the book I borrowed from my friend once again. I had forgot some stories memory betrays!
Today I snatched another tshirt from my younger brother. Well, I didn't bring my clothes here and I can't wear my old clothes because I don't like them anymore. I prefer this white tottenham  jersey instead. *wink*

#Day25 2017JAN26

#Day25
Last night I slept while thinking about a story and morning I woke without having a single clue of it. After breakfast I did some laundry and read some in wattpad. I also put an old story there. I afraid not many Bengali reader are available in wattpad though. After lunch I went out to meet two friends. My friend made tea for us. No doubt she is so good at this. I borrowed a book from her.  
Anyway,  today I visited Sailors Colony: 02. Me and my friend weren't allowed to enter but we insisted saying we were students of the school inside. Which partially true. We both were from Bangladesh Navy School, just the ine situated in Sailors Colony: 01. Oh well, maybe my friend finished her kindergarten from this one. I don't know. Ir doesn't matter, because still we have memories in this colony. I along with some friends once broke in into a school for special kids and was red handed by the guards. Of course there are some other memories too. It is funny, being a civilian I have memories in that sailors colony.



I noticed the children playground is motivated now. The small kindergarten is bigger than some colleges in Bangladesh. I remember there were times several familiar faces were visible in colony streets.  Today, I met no familiar face. Not a single one! While walking around we saw a bunch of kids playing with a log (Ref: Photo). I can't remember seeing so many almost same aged children together in Korea in my last two years. Once again realized the density of population in this country. 
Me and my friend took a rickshaw on our way back to home. Like the old times, after finishing our coaching we used to take the same road.
At night I read the book.I borrowed and figured out I read it before. Basically  I re-read it. My younger brother is suffering from fever. Even last year when I came home, he fall sick. Now he is blaming me for falling sick.
Yes, that's the stupid I deal with everyday here. I hope, he'll get well soon though.

#Day24 2017JAN25

I played "Never have I ever" with Dir through kakao and slept late. As a result I woke up when everyone from my family went out to do their business.  It is weird, my mother gave up waking me up in the morning.
Anyway, I had so called breakfast with 'ruti' (handmade bread) and 'alu vaji' aka potato fry. This isn't even close to French fry though.
I didn't do much like most other days.
I read. I watched a movie. Like any other Indian movie lots of mistake were spotted.
Now a days, whenever I watch any movie I keep thinking what would be the "Mistakes of Bollywood Movies" video on that certain one.
I had some tropical fruits like mango, guava and pomegranates.
My mother made 'Faluda' today. It's basically a  very cold dessert. Milk, Sagu ( Metroxylon sagu), noodles, edible jelly, fruits etc are used to make it. I just realized eating cold noodles not only a Korean thing.
