Pray for the bullet hit baby
We did not feel so frightened and unsafe ever before. Everyday news of murders and recovering of dead bodies reach us. People belonging to different age groups, occupied with different professions are falling victim to this horrible fate.
Housewives, children and babies are also not being spared. Even the womb of a mother is not safe anymore. An unborn baby girl was wounded from a bullet when her mother was hit by a bullet during a Jubo League factional clash in Magura on July 23, 2015.
We have lost all hope of the improvement of the horrible situation as the activists of the many factions of the ruling class are becoming more daring and a section of the law enforcing agents are also becoming involved in criminal activities. Allah willing, the baby is still surviving we pray for her life.

Misfortune is part of the game
Upset by the series of severe criticisms that Lionel Messi does not play his best for the national team, the team captain has decided to take rest from Argentine for an indefinite period. Messi has been subjected to fierce criticism after loss to Chile in the Copa America Cup final last month although he vowed after defeat by Germany in the World Cup final last year that Argentina would compensate the loss winning the continental cup in 2015.
The dream ended in a fiasco. There is no doubt that Messi won lots of titles for Barcelona, but not a single one for his own country. It definitely bites every true citizen of the country. However, he is not the lone example of such mixed successes in the world of football.
Brazilian stars like Socrates, Zico, Careca and Falcao could not win any major international title for their national team. But all of them were genius. In 1986 in a World Cup a quarterfinal match, Zico missed penalty against France during the regulation period, while Socretes followed him during the penalty shootout. These two players thereby deprived Brazil of a berth in the semifinal.
I think that this was their destiny. Man cannot get everything it desires, for even though he tries hard. So, we should be yielding towards them if it is proved there was no crisis of sincerity in them.
