A Mango Wonderland:

During peak seasons, an astonishing 2500 metric tons of mangoes are sold every single day, making it a bustling trade worth TK 15 crore. The market offers a diverse range of mango varieties, from the beloved Khirshapati and Laxmanbhog to Langra, Bombay, Fazli, and Ashwina. The sights, smells, and smiles of the people involved in this mango ecosystem create an unforgettable experience.

Jashim Sobhanian | Journey to Finding Unity: Overcoming Discrimination and Prejudice in Search for Faith

Hi! My name is Jashim. Over the years I have been known to have many names, Jack, Joy, Josh, Suman, Mohammad, Md, and many others. Not out of choice, but compromise. You see, I came from a small village in North-East India, where Hindus and Muslims are still in conflict, and racism and casteism are heavily predominant. Growing up, constantly made to feel like I didn’t belong, I was drawn to understanding why people felt the need to discriminate based on religion. I wanted to understand more about God – how He functions and why people still suffer. In my quest for finding ‘God’ or the right religion, I became more determined to eradicate racism and casteism. Here is my journey. 

While we learned in school textbooks that God is one and we are equal, I was faced with an opposing reality. Slights and insults were hurled at me simply for the religion I was born into.  As a Muslim, I wasn’t allowed to touch or enter any Hindu houses. And so, some of my close Hindu friends, whose families wouldn’t accept the real me, suggested I create a Hindu alias for myself – a bargain for being able to spend time with them. As I grew up and left home for further studies, I realized this discrimination wasn’t limited to my neighborhood. I had to use Hindu aliases to be able to even rent an apartment. 

All these experiences made me very curious to know about the world & about God. I started to put up posters of Gods from other religions on my walls. I had posters of Krishna, Jesus Christ, Buddha, Mahavir & a picture of the Mecca in my room. This was not received well by the Mullahs (religious leaders) who frequented my home. Every time they’d see these posters, they would tear off the ones from other religions, and every time they did, I put up new ones. Eventually, they stopped and simply left. During my teens, I decided to look for a community or a safe haven, where caste and creed played no role. I only realized that even though many religious groups claimed they welcomed everyone, I was still defined by my religion first. I was even taught that I cannot marry outside my religion, because many people had tried to marry outside the community, and it had caused several riots. I didn’t understand why. 

Born in a Muslim family, I was taught to fear Allah. I was told if I did something against the will of Allah, I would be punished. When I asked questions, I was told to simply do as I was told- attend the Masjid, worship Him 5 times every day, memorize the verses of the Quran and many more rituals that no one I asked was able to give a reason for. In my community, many could read Arabic but they didn’t attempt to understand the meaning behind what they read. Frustrated for not being able to understand the meaning of these words, I stopped attending the Masjid. Disappointed, I lost my trust in Allah. 

Having lost my faith in Allah, I decided to explore Hindu Ashrams and temples to know about their understanding of God (Bhagwaan). I realized that there were many sects even among Hindus and I was left wondering which one to hold on to? Studying at Vivekananda School, I idolized Swami Vivekananda. At the ashrams I visited, I asked questions about the purpose of human existence, why we are so different from one other, why we have the need for so many religions, and, why a Muslim can’t marry a Hindu? I read their books and began adopting their way of worshipping God. Sadly, they didn’t accept me, because I was a Muslim. I was forbidden from entering the temple because my presence there would contaminate their God. I was extremely disappointed and gave up on Bhagwaan.

I then turned to Jesus Christ. I read a few pages of the Holy Bible and conversed with some Christians. Here, too, I found many sects. I was told that to become a Christian I would have to do & change lots of things. I was upset that I wasn’t able to find what I was looking for, and so I lost my hope and trust in Christ, too. After years of searching, in 2003, I met a group of people from a community called Baha’i. I learned that they are truly welcoming to everyone and practice Unity and Harmony. They don’t believe in any borders, colors, races, castes & creeds, and prejudice. I felt it was too good to be true. However, the more of them I interacted with the more I realized, this was what I was looking for all my life.

Unfortunately, my intent of joining them was met with severe backlash from my community. I received death threats and my family started to be ostracised. I was threatened to be burned or killed, and my family faced immense social pressure. It was truly a tough time for us. Eventually, I was able to make my parents understand that I was doing the right thing. They came to accept that I have no place in my heart for any racial discrimination or injustice, because, I believe that humanity is my religion and love is my worship. I soon registered with them and joined a teacher’s training course in Agartala, India. On 20th June 2003, I went to the Bahá’í center along with some more of my friends. On 22nd June I declared Baha’u’llah as the manifestation of God before finishing the book. We stayed there for 15 days. And that’s how my journey of becoming a Bahá’í began.

Growing up, I didn’t have a last name. So, for any international travel, the airlines used to add XXX, no last name, FNU… etc. in place of my last name. My name drew doubt about terrorism at several airports causing big issues for me. On my US visa, my name stated Md Jashim FNU. When I married my wife, I decided to take her last name, and so I became Jashim Sobhanian. I met her initially, on a dating website in 2014, after which we met for the first time in Istanbul. I then moved to the USA in 2016 and got married to her in 2017. We now have a lovely daughter who is 29 months old with another child on the way. When I moved to the USA, I thought my name would create the same prejudice and judgment I had faced back home. So, I adopted the name Jack Sobhanian. Eventually, I realized that even though people are still dealing with racism, I do feel like a human being in this country. So, I decided to let go of my alias of Jack Sobhanian and resumed my name and my identity, Jashim Sobhanian.

I have found that even though people follow different religions, God is one. Just like water itself doesn’t change, irrespective of what you call it, God, too, doesn’t change, no matter what name people give Him. You call Him Allah, Bhagwaan, Iswar, God, Dieu, Dios, or Shàngdì, He is the same. So, what I want people to ultimately, understand, is that if you believe in any God, you must accept, that God can’t be racist. Just like the Sun doesn’t discriminate where it emanates its light, God does not find differences in His people. God is merciful, God is love, God is kind, God is the almighty, and God is great. And so, under His guidance, we must be, too.

Melatonin and Sleep: How It Helped Me on Night Shifts

Melatonin and Sleep: How It Helped Me on Night Shifts

As someone who works night shifts, getting quality sleep is a constant struggle for me. I’ve tried various remedies, from white noise machines to herbal teas, but nothing seemed to work consistently. That’s when one of my colleagues recommended melatonin supplements to me. At first, I was skeptical – I had heard of melatonin before, but I didn’t know much about it. However, I decided to give it a try, and I’m glad I did.

My first experience with melatonin was with melatonin gummies. My colleague gave me a few to try, and I was surprised at how effective they were. Within an hour of taking them, I felt more relaxed and drowsy. I fell asleep faster than usual and woke up feeling more refreshed than I had in a long time. After that, I decided to buy some gummies of my own and started using them regularly.

However, I soon realized that the gummies weren’t enough for me. I needed a higher dose to get the same effect, so I switched to melatonin pills. I started with 5mg and gradually increased to 10mg. I found that taking melatonin about an hour before bedtime worked best for me. It didn’t knock me out like a sleeping pill, but it did help me feel more sleepy and relaxed.

That being said, melatonin doesn’t always work the same way for me. Sometimes, I still have trouble falling asleep even after taking it. I’ve also noticed that taking higher doses doesn’t necessarily lead to better sleep outcomes and may cause unwanted side effects. For example, sometimes melatonin gives me vivid nightmares, and other times, it makes my head feel heavy in the morning.

Despite these limitations, I still find melatonin to be a helpful sleep aid for me. It doesn’t solve all my sleep problems, but it does make a noticeable difference in my sleep quality. I’ve even recommended it to some of my friends who struggle with sleep, and they’ve had similar experiences.

One thing to keep in mind, though, is that melatonin is not a substitute for healthy sleep habits. I’ve learned that maintaining a consistent sleep schedule, avoiding caffeine and alcohol, and creating a relaxing sleep environment are just as important for getting quality sleep. Melatonin can be a helpful supplement, but it shouldn’t be relied upon as the only solution.

In terms of side effects, I’ve experienced some of the common ones, such as headaches, dizziness, and nausea. However, these side effects have been rare and mild for me. I’ve also heard that melatonin can cause allergic reactions, seizures, or changes in blood pressure or heart rate, so it’s important to follow the recommended dosage and consult with a healthcare provider if you have any concerns.

All in all, my experience with melatonin has been mostly positive. It’s not a miracle cure for sleep problems, but it can help promote relaxation and sleepiness. If you’re considering melatonin, I would recommend starting with a low dose and taking it at least 30 minutes before bedtime. Be aware of the potential side effects and limitations, and don’t rely on melatonin as the only solution for getting quality sleep.

The Pitfalls of Nationalistic Pride: A Call for a More Unified Humanity!

As a child, I was a fervent patriot of India and took immense pride in my nationality. However, as I grew older and learned more about our history and present situation, I began to question the existence of borders. My state, Tripura, is surrounded by Bangladesh on three sides, and I recall how we used to despise Bangladesh and its people, believing them to be our enemies. But what difference did it make?

When you are a bird, you don’t see any borders, but as a human, you do. If you believe in God, Allah, Iswar, or any religion, you should not confine yourself to borders. Borders are created by rulers who choose to divide humanity for their own selfish reasons, such as gaining power over a group of people, resources, or belief in religious superiority. Politicians created borders, and although many believe politics is a “dirty” business, we still choose to blindly follow and take pride in our nationality.

History has witnessed kings and emperors killing millions of people and destroying civilizations to establish their own nations. Politicians created the notion that if you are different from others, you are superior, and others should follow. These differences could be as minor as the amount of money you make, the language you speak, or even the color of your skin. These differences, though insignificant in terms of humanity, are used as the basis for differentiation, creating prejudices that have lasted for millennia and leading to hate, anger, and war.

The British rulers dominated almost everywhere in the world and killed significant numbers of people, altering the world’s environment. In less than 100 years, the British killed over 56 million people in the Americas. In India, they killed 100 million people in their last 40 years of rule, which spanned over 200 years.

It is disheartening to see the wars and tensions that exist between most countries around the world. There are conflicts between India and Pakistan, India and China, Israel and Palestine, Russia and Ukraine, and many more. Politicians have led us to believe that we are different from one another because we live in different countries. They have trained us to be prepared to kill anyone who is not from our country or threatens our borders.

Religion does not unite people. Religions create divisions in their own families and societies, which is quite the opposite of unity. Politics and religion go hand in hand, dividing and destroying humanity.

So, if you take pride in your nation, you have been deceived. Although we are intelligent beings, we still blindly follow the ideology engraved in us from birth by our environment, family, friends, political parties, and media.

It is never too late to stop hatred and recognize humans as humans. We must treat each other with kindness and eliminate the barriers of borders and prejudices.

Tesla Model 3 vs Ford Mustang Mach E: My Experience

Tesla Model 3 vs Ford Mustang Mach E: My Experience

When it comes to electric cars, the market is flooded with options, and two of the most popular models are the Tesla Model 3 Full Self Drive and the Ford Mustang Mach E. As someone who has owned both cars, I can say that my experience with the Tesla was far superior to that of the Mustang Mach E. In this review blog, I will share my experience with both cars and highlight the key differences between them.

Tesla Model 3 Full Self Drive: The Tesla Model 3 is a popular electric car that is known for its sleek design, impressive performance, and advanced technology. The car comes with a price tag of $45,000 for the base model, but with additional features and upgrades, the price can go up significantly. In our case, we paid around $75,000, which includes taxes, for our Tesla Model 3 with all the bells and whistles. While this may seem expensive, we believe it is a worthwhile investment given the car’s long-term cost savings and eco-friendliness. When we decided to buy a Tesla, we went to the store and ordered our car, and within three months, it was delivered straight to our home.

One of the convenient aspects of purchasing the car was that we didn’t have to visit a dealer or store to pick it up and didn’t have to pay any markups. However, after driving it for a while, we noticed an issue on the driver’s side, air was entering the car through the window. We reached out to our dealer and they promptly sent someone to our home to address the issue. Unfortunately, the first attempt didn’t resolve the problem, so they arranged for us to visit a customer service center.

The Tesla’s interior appears unprofessional and poorly made, which was acknowledged by the staff. They explained that the high price we paid was mainly for the advanced technology. Some of the mechanics have prejudices towards the owner and don’t necessarily respect a younger owner. We were told that this is a fast car and perhaps what you are hearing is just a regular sound of traffic. After a few visits the issue was finally fixed, Although this experience was inconvenient, we were pleased with the responsiveness and helpfulness of Tesla’s customer service team in resolving the issue.

One of the standout features of the Tesla Model 3 Full Self Drive is, of course, the Full Self Drive option. This makes the car more reliable and comfortable to drive, as the car can navigate on its own in certain situations. This feature is not available in the Ford Mustang Mach E, which makes a significant difference in the driving experience.

Ford Mustang Mach E: Now let’s talk about the Ford Mustang Mach E. We were excited to get this car as our second electric vehicle, and we went to the dealership to trade in our Honda. However, before we could even buy the car, we encountered several issues. We called around 8 to 10 dealerships near us, and either they didn’t have the car we wanted or they were marking up the price by an exorbitant amount. One dealership even wanted to markup the price by $30,000 on a $60,000 car. We were frustrated and tried to report this issue to the main company, but we couldn’t get hold of anyone.

Finally, we found a dealership that only marked up the price by $3,000. We paid around $60,000 for the car, but the battery life was poor compared to the Tesla. Also, the Ford Mustang Mach E lacked some of the advanced technologies that the Tesla Model 3 Full Self Drive had, which made it feel less innovative and less comfortable to drive.

Markup Scam System: It’s worth mentioning the markup scam system that Ford dealerships use. Markup refers to the amount that a dealer adds to the invoice price of a car to make a profit. This markup can be significant, and dealerships will use various tactics to justify it. They might claim that the car is in high demand, or that it has expensive features, but in reality, they are just trying to make a profit.

This markup scam system is prevalent in the car industry, and it’s something that consumers should be aware of when shopping for a car. In our case, we encountered markups of up to $30,000 on a $60,000 car, which is outrageous. It’s important to do your research, shop around, and be prepared to negotiate with dealerships to avoid falling victim to this scam.

In conclusion, my experience with the Tesla Model 3 Full Self Drive was far superior to that of the Ford Mustang Mach E. Tesla has better battery life and more advanced technologies, including the Full Self Drive option, which makes it more reliable and comfortable to drive. The Mach E lacks many advanced features that the Tesla offers, including the Full Self Drive option, which was a game-changer for me. The battery life of the Mach E was also a major concern, as it didn’t last as long as Tesla’s battery.

In addition to the superior performance of Tesla, the markup scam system used by some Ford dealerships was frustrating and disappointing. It’s discouraging to see that some dealerships are taking advantage of customers and marking up prices for no reason other than to make a profit. This type of behavior is unacceptable and should not be tolerated.

In my opinion, the Tesla Model 3 Full Self-Drive provided a great experience and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for an electric vehicle. Tesla’s impressive technology and dependable performance make it a standout option in the electric car market. While the Mach E has some noteworthy features, it simply doesn’t measure up to the Tesla, and the pricing tactics used by certain Ford dealerships only make matters worse.

The Cursed House of Dracula: A Haunting Legacy in Fullerton


As you approach Concord Ave in Fullerton, California, a sense of unease begins to set in. The once-beautiful street is now desolate, and the air feels heavy with an ominous energy. At the end of the road stands the infamous home of Dracula, the immortal vampire who has been rumored to haunt the halls for over seven decades.

Despite the brightest of days, the house remains cloaked in darkness. Its windows have never allowed sunlight to penetrate the gloom that shrouds its interior. The house exudes a sinister presence that seems to deter even the bravest of souls from venturing near it. The windows are boarded up, and the doors are tightly shut, as if to keep the horrors that lurk inside from spilling out into the world.

Legend has it that Dracula still roams the halls of his mansion, thirsting for the blood of any unsuspecting victim who dares to cross his path. The very air around the house feels cold and still, as if death itself has taken up residence within its walls. Locals speak of strange noises and whispers that can be heard emanating from within, and many claim to have seen shadows moving behind the boarded-up windows.

For over 70 years, no one has set foot in the house, and those who pass by hurry their steps, lest they catch the attention of the malevolent spirits that lurk within. The house is said to be cursed, with its halls haunted by the tormented souls of those who dared to enter.

Those who have dared to venture near the house report feeling a sense of dread that lingers long after they leave. It’s as if the very essence of evil has taken up residence within the walls, waiting patiently for its next victim to cross its path.

No one knows what truly lies within the dark depths of Dracula’s house, but one thing is for certain – it’s a place best left undisturbed, lest you become the next victim to fall prey to its malevolent charm.


I am a Son of a Cow: A Proud Statement

I am a Son of a Cow: A Proud Statement


From the time of my birth, there has always been one word that haunted me: ‘cow‘. Whenever I did anything wrong, I would hear people calling me a cow. If I performed poorly in school or received low grades, my parents and even my teachers would call me a cow. Sometimes I was even referred to as a “bull”, also. In Bengali, we call a cow “GORU” and a bull “BALAD.”

They called me a cow or a bull because they believed that cows were unintelligent and had no brains. Cows were considered the worst of all animals. This was the reason why people use the word ‘cow’ or ‘bull’ as a slang term to disrespect and show that a person had no talent.

If someone were to be called a cow or bull, they would be understandably upset.

It wasn’t just me who experienced this; you hear these two words used often, almost everywhere. We use cows to plow agricultural fields, collect paddy, level land, and most importantly, get milk. Regardless of religion, everyone uses cows and bulls for their own purposes. I have witnessed farmers using sticks to hit cows when they are slow or refusing to work. I have seen so much violence and barely noticed any acts of kindness or respect toward cows. I have seen people tying calves to milk cows for our milk needs. I have witnessed cows being beaten while they are being milked. When cows get old, people sell them for money. I have seen so much since my childhood that it’s not easy to type, write or explain.

While I was staying in Sikkim, located in the north-eastern region of India, I observed that people, including Hindus, were consuming beef. I asked some Hindus why they were eating beef, given that it is considered a sacred animal. They replied that the beef they were consuming was from male cows or bulls. It was quite surprising for me to see that restaurants and stores were serving both pork and beef.

My question is, if you respect and love something or someone as your own mother, how can you torture, punish, and sell? Would you trade your own mother for money when she gets older?

We always refer to cows as our mothers, but if you call someone the “son of a cow,” you will get into trouble. We love to call cows our mothers but don’t want to call ourselves the sons of cows or bulls?

We say that cows are useful animals, but we don’t say that cows are useful humans. Maybe we will be reborn as cows when we die, but it’s unclear why cows are more valuable than humans. A human being should be respected more than animals.

Now, when you say that a cow is your mother, then you should accept that you are a son of a cow.

So in truth, Men are not the sons of men but rather ‘the sons of cows’.

I am very pleased that the Government of India is protecting cows and asking everyone to respect them as if they were our own mothers. I can proudly say that I am the ‘son of a cow‘, and no one should be ashamed of it.

Cow violence in India

Cow violence is a serious issue in India. In recent years, there have been a number of high-profile cases of cow violence, including the lynching of a Muslim man by a mob of Hindus in 2017. This violence is often motivated by religious beliefs, as cows are considered sacred by Hindus.

There are a number of factors that contribute to cow violence in India. One factor is the country’s growing religious polarization. In recent years, there has been an increase in the number of Hindu nationalist groups, which have been accused of inciting violence against Muslims and other minorities. Another factor is the country’s economic inequality. India is a rapidly developing country, but there is still a large gap between the rich and the poor. This gap can lead to resentment and anger, which can manifest itself in violence.

Cow violence is a serious problem in India. It is important to understand the factors that contribute to this violence in order to address it. The government needs to take steps to reduce religious polarization and economic inequality. It also needs to crack down on hate speech and incitement to violence.

Cows in Indian culture

Cows have a long and important history in Indian culture. They are considered sacred animals in Hinduism and are often used in religious ceremonies. Cows are also a valuable source of milk, meat, and labor for many Indian families.

In recent years, there has been a growing movement to protect cows in India. This movement is motivated by a number of factors, including the increasing number of cow lynchings and the growing popularity of veganism in India.

The movement to protect cows is having a significant impact on Indian society. It is leading to a number of changes, including the passage of new laws to protect cows and the establishment of new shelters for abandoned cows.

The movement to protect cows is also having a positive impact on the Indian economy. Cows are a valuable economic resource, and the protection of cows is leading to a number of new opportunities for businesses and individuals.

The movement to protect cows is a complex and controversial issue. There are a number of different perspectives on the issue, and it is important to understand all of these perspectives in order to make informed decisions about the issue.

From Coding to Capturing: The Extraordinary Journey of Award-Winning Photographer Ron Conigliaro

Ron Conigliaro is an extraordinary individual who has found success in various fields. He is a gifted professional photographer and producer based in Detroit, Michigan, and has been capturing stunning, unique landscapes in nature and extraordinary moments in time, thanks to his extensive travels and adventurous spirit. But Ron is not just a talented photographer, he is also a caring and loving person who values his relationships with others.

I had the pleasure of meeting Ron through a photography group on Facebook, and our friendship has grown stronger over time. Ron is a very caring and attentive person who always puts others first and makes sure everyone feels welcome. He is the type of friend who will go out of his way to lend a helping hand, whether it’s offering guidance on a challenging photography skill or simply being there for a chat.

What sets Ron apart from others is his love for photography that he shares with his wife, Maya. Together, they are a dynamic duo, traveling the world and capturing breathtaking moments with their cameras. Maya is just as remarkable as Ron, with her own passion for photography and her unwavering support for her husband.

Last year, Ron and Maya visited us, and it was a joy to spend time with them. We caught up on old times and shared stories of our adventures. Ron’s dedication to his craft and his love for adventure has not overshadowed his commitment to making a difference in the world. In fact, he has become part of our nonprofit Breeze of Joy Foundation, serving as a Chief Development Officer. Ron’s ability to balance his professional endeavors with his personal relationships is a testament to his character.

Ron’s photography business, Zoom Room Studio, has allowed him to capture every breathtaking moment of his travels. His skillful attention to detail, focus, and perspective brings to life every image recorded through his lenses. Ron’s photo exhibits have been displayed all around the globe, yet he remains humble and appreciative of his life’s journey and accomplishments.

Ron’s success in photography is not his only accomplishment. At the start of his career, Ron fearlessly took the path less traveled, choosing not to go to college but instead learning to code on his own. His aptitude and hard work in teaching himself proved incredibly useful, as he was eventually able to establish his own software development business— Quantum Information System Solutions, Inc., where he currently serves as President and CEO.

Over the years, Ron has found success in this tech-based business venture, expanding it so now Quantum Information offices reach beyond the borders of Michigan. This software business has allowed him to visit offices located all over the world. Due to his business travels, he was introduced to the beauties of the Earth and the varying cultures, foods, and attractions to be discovered outside of his Michigan bubble. Ron’s exposure to the stunning landscapes and exotic wonders outside of the U.S. would fuel his inspiration to pursue photography as a career.

Ron is not just a professional businessman and photographer; he is also a musician who has produced and released his own albums. His creativity knows no bounds, and he continues to explore new avenues of self-expression. Ron’s love for music has led him to collaborate with collaborators, and he has even composed original soundtracks for some of his photography exhibits.

In all his endeavors, Ron’s genuine care for others shines through. He is always willing to lend a helping hand, whether it’s through his photography, his tech business, or his charitable work. Ron has an innate ability to connect with people from all walks of life and make them feel heard and valued. His positive energy and kind spirit are infectious, and he has inspired many, including myself, to pursue their passions and give back to their communities.


Ron Conigliaro is an exceptional individual who has achieved success in multiple fields. He is a gifted photographer, a successful tech business owner, a talented musician, and a dedicated philanthropist. But what sets Ron apart from others is his caring nature and his commitment to making a positive difference in the world. I am grateful to have Ron as a friend and colleague, and I know that he will continue to inspire and influence those around him for many years to come.

If you’re looking for a photographer who not only captures breathtaking moments but also cares about his clients, Ron is the one to go to. His dedication, skill, and passion for photography are unmatched, and his personal touch is something that sets him apart from others.

Understanding Our Past, Embracing Our Future: The Importance of History and Progressive Revelation

Do you ever like history back then in school? Maybe you do, maybe you don’t, as most find it boring. To me, history can be interesting depending on the field of discipline. What I like most is human history. It tells the origin of our species, who we are, and how we evolved through time, not just in the aspect of physical material but the spiritual as well. History paints the details of the past, and it helps us to build a framework of understanding of the future we hope to create by never repeating the mistakes made by our ancestors.

If we studied history, we are able to glimpse that humanity has made enormous progress. Looking back into it, where did our human stories start? From scientific research based on archaeological and anthropological evidence, we know that we are a species of primates that appeared somewhere around 2.5 million years ago in Africa. Our ancestors began to migrate out from Africa to different parts of the world due to environmental changes. These changes propelled man to continue to evolve and develop unique characteristics, such as adapting to living on the ground and walking upright instead of climbing. In the process, their brain capacity increased, and they began to make and use simple tools, and advance into controlling fire, and develop language. The progress of mankind in being able to control materials shaped the appearance of civilization. In recorded history, the first civilization appeared in Mesopotamia and has its oldest known written language, Sumerian.

As we look into the anthropological aspect of our origin, we should examine the theological perspective to have a better understanding of who we are since we now know that we are a creation that has a spiritual entity from an Unknown Creator, whom we generally called God, or others may know Him as ‘Shang Ti’, ‘Allah’, ‘Bhagavaan’, ‘Dios’ in different languages all referring to the same Source. How can we know our Creator then, if He is Unknowable? Simple, through studying His Revelations from His Messengers that He sends to earth. These periodic messengers, known as prophets, manifestations, and the founders of the world’s Faiths, provide the means of humanity’s development and progress throughout the ages. They are responsible for our elevation from a lesser to a greater degree of understanding regarding the existence and purpose of God. His Revelations are a sequence of processes to illumine our spiritual entity if we believe that human consists of a body and a soul. This concept of process is known as progressive revelation.

Progressive revelation is more than an educative process; it is part of the eternal covenant of Abraham, in which God promised never to abandon humanity. In fulfilment of that covenant, God has sent prophets to every people, including Krishna, Abraham, Moses, Zoroaster, Buddha, Christ, Muhammad, the Bab, and, most recently, Baha’u’llah.

The eternal process of progressive revelation extends backward into a time long before written records. Because of the antiquity of some of these revelations, the names of the messengers themselves and the spiritual traditions they initiated have been lost. Within the period of time for which we do have historical records, even in cultures without written histories, we have ample evidence of this process. As with our understanding of the purpose of our physical existence, progressive revelation is easier to understand in retrospect. The process of sequential divine messages is not new to religious understanding. However, which of the messengers a particular religion chooses to acknowledge is a matter of geography and chronology.

Throughout recorded history, many of the messengers of God have arisen in that part of the Asian continent which extends from the shores of the Red and Mediterranean Seas in the West to the mouth of the River Ganges in the East. This part of the planet has been the birthplace of most of the world’s best-known religions, and the western part of this region has a great religious tradition which has witnessed a long succession of messengers. However, because of the chronology, the followers of each religion only recognize the ones who came before their particular messenger. For example, Judaism acknowledges both Abraham and Moses; Christianity recognizes Abraham, Moses and then Christ; Islam identifies the succession of Abraham, Moses, Christ and then Muhammad. The Bible itself, with its Old and New Testaments, bears witness to the progressive revelation that led from Judaism to Christianity. Each of these religions has understood something of the process of progressive revelation, but failed to recognize that it extends forwards as well as backwards in time.

Investigation of truth is an important tool to set ourselves free from imitation, falsehood, and fossilized traditions that do harm to us and continue the mistakes of the past. It focuses on eradicating prejudice and freeing our hearts and minds from its corrosive impact. To set ourselves free from doctrines of our ancestors belief, it is important for us to read and study the history of mankind and God’s Scriptures of the past in order we could appreciates how humanity has come to this far. It allows us to understand our past, which in turn allows us to understand our present. If we want to know how and why our world is the way it is today, we have to look to history for answers. People often say that “history repeats itself” (even God has warn us in Bible and Quran), but if we study the successes and failures of the past events, we may, ideally, be able to learn from our mistakes and avoid repeating them in the future. And we will be able to appreciates the oneness of religion through the relationship between God and man.

Should Everyone Play a Sport at Some Point?

Sports allow everyone to be part of a team, so you might wonder whether you should play sports at some point in your life or if your child should. Whether you’re interested in playing a sport as an adult or considering enrolling your kids in school sports, you might wonder whether there are benefits and drawbacks to sports. 

Many people get the opportunity to play sports when they’re young, but you’d be surprised how many groups and clubs are available for adults once you find a sport to play recreationally. No matter how old you or your children are, sports can teach people valuable life lessons they can use outside of the game. But, of course, sports aren’t for everyone. If someone doesn’t enjoy sports, they probably shouldn’t play them because they’d rather spend their time doing something they love instead. 

However, everyone should have the opportunity to figure out if sports can improve their life. In this article, we’ll answer the question of whether everyone should play sports at some point by discussing the pros and cons of sports for children and adults. 

Benefits of Sports

Sports can be a great outlet for getting rid of excess energy when children are young. Meanwhile, adults can use sports as a way to reduce everyday stress. Here are a few benefits of playing sports, no matter how old you are. 

Enjoyable (for some)

Sports can be fun for children and adults because they give you something to do, and exercise gets the heart pumping, which is great for your health and wellness and boosts your mood. In addition, sports can allow kids to make friends and find a hobby they truly enjoy, and the same is true for adults. Even individuals who aren’t very good at sports can still enjoy playing them on a Saturday afternoon with friends. 

Promotes Physical Activity

Sports can help people stay healthy from childhood through adulthood while building endurance. Playing sports can help children learn the importance of activity while helping people of all ages maintain a healthy weight and support their physical and mental health. The earlier someone starts playing sports, the more likely they are to continue healthy habits through adulthood. 

Sportsmanship

When you play most sports, you play with a team against other people. Sportsmanship is all about winning and losing and how each of those situations is handled by players. Learning how to overcome adversity and accept defeat when you’ve lost can help you become more humble and treat others with respect. Meanwhile, learning how to win and still respect the other players of the game can go a long way in your personal and professional relationships. Being a good sport beyond sports is an essential part of life, so children and adults must learn teamwork and sportsmanship regardless of the outcomes. 

Time Management

Believe it or not, playing sports can help you learn how to better manage your time because they require a time commitment if you want to get good and start winning. If you know you have to practice or go to a game, you might try to plan other important activities like grocery shopping or even finishing work ahead of time to allow you enough time to accomplish everything. Children can also learn time management skills from sports because parents can ask that they finish their homework or chores before they attend practice. 

Since sports can help you discipline yourself and help children learn about time management and discipline, they can take what they’ve learned and use it in the real world, which may include planning assignments at work or completing chores before being able to do what they really want to do. 

Hobbies Are Healthy

Everyone needs a hobby– something they do outside of work or school that keeps them busy and happy. Individuals who don’t spend some time throughout the week doing what they enjoy can feel anxious or even depressed because they only focus on what has to be done instead of what they want to do with their lives. 

Hobbies are healthy, and everyone should have one. Sports make a great hobby for individuals who enjoy being competitive and athletic. Sports are some of the healthiest hobbies for you to choose from because they keep you active, promoting total body health. 

There’s a Sport for Everyone

Some people don’t like playing team sports because they’re typically fast-paced and can be quite stressful when you have to rely on others. Of course, learning teamwork is beneficial, but that doesn’t mean you have to enjoy playing sports like basketball or football. Instead, if you prefer to play alone, you can try a sport you play alone but against others, like golf or tennis. 

Golf is a great option for adults because it allows you to spend some time outside in a slower-paced environment. Even though golf can get competitive, it can also be a great recreational activity you can do with your friends.

Cons of Playing Sports

While there are many benefits of playing sports, there are also many reasons why someone wouldn’t enjoy them.

Not Everyone Likes Sports

Many people enjoy being active, but they don’t like playing sports. Of course, if you prefer to be active without the competition, you might try another form of exercise like riding a bike, going for a run, or even visiting the gym from time to time. Not everyone is interested in playing sports for a variety of reasons, and there’s nothing wrong with that. If you’ve never been interested in sports, there’s no reason to try them when you’re young or old. 

Time-consuming

While everyone should spend some time throughout the week doing something they actually enjoy doing, sports can be quite time-consuming, especially if you’re playing team sports and have to attend practices or games at a specific time every other week. If you’re someone with a busy schedule, sports might not be the best option because others will rely on you to be on time for events. That being said, there are sports you can play recreationally in your spare time, like bowling. 

Should Everyone Play a Sport at Some Point?

The short answer is no; not everyone should play a sport simply because some individuals don’t enjoy sports. While you can learn some valuable life lessons from playing sports, you can also learn things like teamwork and the importance of physical activity in school and from other hobbies. 

Growing up in India: My Personal Experience with Racism and Discrimination!

Growing up in India: My Personal Experience with Racism and Discrimination!

Growing up in a rural village in India, I have a lot of memories that shaped my childhood and life. However, one experience that has left a lasting impression on me is the issue of racism in India. As a child, I was very curious about life, God, and the world. I used to read a lot of books, and one of my favorite writers was Sunil Gangopadhyay. Reading books made me curious to write. I don’t remember the age when I started writing, but I believe it was when I was around 12 years old. I remember when my first poem was published in our school’s yearbook. I was very happy and excited. I had a notebook where I used to write my poems, and I wrote many of them. Unfortunately, my book was eaten by termites, and I stopped writing poems and started writing about my day-to-day life in a diary.

I wanted to be a writer when I was a teenager, but life has its own rules. I was poor in English, not good in Hindi, and even very bad in Bengali, even though we are considered Bengali. Our state is Tripura, and the Bengali we speak is different from the Bengali we read in books and the pure Bengali of Kolkata (West Bengal). People from other states, especially from West Bengal, make fun of Tripura’s Bengali. That’s the main reason a lot of people from Tripura teach their kids Kolkata’s Bengali. Even though they learn it, native Kolkata people still catch their language and make fun of them. They say that Tripura’s people speaking pure Bengali are like a crow wearing a peacock’s feathers.

Racism in India is not limited to linguistic discrimination. There are also instances of discrimination based on skin color, religion, and caste. Although there have been efforts to eradicate these issues, they still persist in various forms. A survey conducted by the Indian Council of Social Science Research (ICSSR) in 2017 found that 27% of Indians admitted to discriminating against others based on their caste, religion, or ethnicity.

In my own experience, I once witnessed an incident of racism towards a tutor who used to come to our home to teach me science and mathematics. He was born in Bangladesh and came to Tripura, where he was living with one of his aunts. As a tutor and a human being, he was awesome, and I still respect and love him.


One day, I had a math exam, and while practicing at home, I got stuck on a theory. I ran to his room and sat on the stool where he taught other students. He helped me, and I was happy and went back home. However, on the way back from school, I noticed all of his furniture, clothes, and everything else were outside his room. I thought they were preparing for a festival or something else. I saw his aunt by the road, and she asked me to stop. I could tell that she was super mad. She said, “Why did you enter his room? You don’t know he eats and sleeps in that room! Do not do it again. I had to clean and wash his entire room.” I was shocked and very sad, and I almost cried.

That incident didn’t change my respect for him, but it left a seal in my heart. It was not something new for me, but I did not expect something like that from my tutor, who used to come to our home and teach me science and maths. It was a reminder that even people who seem to be good and kind can be racist.

The issue of racism in India is deeply rooted in the country’s history and social structure. It is a complex issue that requires a multifaceted approach to address. It involves education and awareness campaigns, as well as legal and policy changes to promote equality and justice. It also requires individual efforts to challenge and confront discriminatory behavior and attitudes. While progress has been made in India to combat racism, there is still a long way to go to achieve a truly inclusive and just society. It is up to all of us to work towards this goal and create a better future for all.

Exploring the Cultural Divide on Children Before and After Marriage!

Exploring the Cultural Divide on Children Before and After Marriage!

As someone who has grown up witnessing the societal view on having children before and after marriage, I can attest to the stark cultural divide that exists in different parts of the world. Having grown up in a traditional Indian village, premarital sex was never something that crossed my mind, and having children before marriage was considered taboo and shameful.


The idea of family honor is deeply ingrained in Indian culture, and any behavior that is perceived as bringing shame to the family is strictly prohibited. This includes having children out of wedlock, which can result in severe social consequences, such as honor killings and other forms of social punishment. The cultural divide on this issue is also evident in other parts of the world, where traditional values and societal norms often clash with individual freedoms.

In many countries, having physical relationships before marriage is considered a taboo or a punishable act. The societal pressure to conform to traditional gender roles and social norms can be overwhelming, leaving many young people feeling guilty and ashamed if they engage in sexual activities before marriage. In some cultures, premarital sex is viewed as a sin, and any resulting pregnancies are seen as a punishment from God.

The societal pressure to conform to traditional gender roles is often particularly intense for young women. In many cultures, women are expected to be chaste and pure until they get married, and any deviation from this norm is viewed as a violation of social norms. The societal pressure to conform to these gender roles can have severe consequences, such as social isolation, ostracism, and even physical harm.

However, in the West, the emphasis is placed on personal choice and autonomy. The societal pressure to conform to traditional gender roles is relatively low, and young people are encouraged to explore their sexuality. The decision to have children before or after marriage is viewed as a personal choice that should be based on the individual’s values, beliefs, and circumstances.

The reasons for this cultural divide are complex and varied. In traditional societies like India, the institution of marriage is seen as a sacred bond between two families, rather than just two individuals. Marriage is viewed as a social contract that is meant to bring stability and continuity to society. The societal pressure to conform to traditional gender roles and social norms can be overwhelming, leaving many young people feeling guilty and ashamed if they engage in sexual activities before marriage.

On the other hand, in Western societies, marriage is viewed as a personal choice and an individual decision. The emphasis is placed on individual freedom and autonomy, and the concept of the nuclear family is less prevalent. Couples often choose to live together and have children without getting married, citing practical or financial reasons for their decision.

While the cultural divide on this issue is evident, it’s important to approach the topic of having children before marriage with an open mind and a willingness to understand different cultural perspectives. The decision to have children before or after marriage is a personal one that should be respected. Ultimately, it’s up to each individual to decide what is best for themselves and their family.

In some cultures, the societal pressure to conform to traditional gender roles and social norms can be particularly intense, leaving little room for individual choice or freedom. In many cases, young people who engage in premarital sex or have children out of wedlock may face severe social consequences, such as ostracism, social isolation, or even physical harm. Honor killings, for example, are still prevalent in many parts of the world, where families may feel that the behavior of their children has brought shame to their family.

In Western societies, the emphasis is placed on individual freedom and autonomy, which can lead to a more relaxed view on premarital sex and having children before marriage. While the societal pressure to conform to traditional gender roles is still present in many ways, young people are encouraged to explore their sexuality and make their own decisions about starting a family. As a result, many couples choose to live together and have children before getting married, without facing any significant social consequences.

However, it’s essential to note that the decision to have children before or after marriage is not just about personal choice. It’s also about social and economic circumstances that may influence an individual’s decision. In some cases, young couples may choose to have children before marriage because they cannot afford to get married or because they want to start a family without being tied down by traditional social expectations.

Furthermore, the concept of marriage itself is evolving, with more and more couples choosing to live together without getting married. The rise of cohabitation has challenged the traditional view of marriage and family, with many couples choosing to start a family before getting married. While this decision may be viewed as controversial in some societies, it’s becoming increasingly accepted as a personal choice in many parts of the world.

However, it’s important to note that having children before marriage does not necessarily mean that the individuals involved are not committed to each other or their family. The decision to have children before marriage is often a reflection of the changing social and economic circumstances, as well as the evolving views on marriage and family.

In some cases, having children before marriage may even strengthen the relationship between the couple, as they navigate the challenges of parenthood together. The decision to start a family before marriage requires careful consideration and planning, as it can have significant financial, emotional, and social implications.

Ultimately, the decision to have children before or after marriage is a personal one that should be based on individual values, beliefs, and circumstances. While traditional views on marriage and family continue to shape societal expectations in many parts of the world, it’s important to approach the topic of having children before marriage with an open mind and a willingness to understand different cultural perspectives.

In conclusion, the cultural divide on the issue of having children before or after marriage is evident, with traditional views on marriage and family shaping societal expectations in many parts of the world. The decision to have children before or after marriage is a personal one that should be based on individual values, beliefs, and circumstances.

While societal pressure to conform to traditional gender roles and social norms may be particularly intense in some cultures, it’s essential to approach the topic of having children before marriage with an open mind and a willingness to understand different cultural perspectives. Ultimately, the decision to have children before or after marriage is not just about personal choice but also reflects changing social and economic circumstances and evolving views on marriage and family.

Vitamins 101: What Should You Be Taking

Vitamins 101: What Should You Be Taking

Your body needs many essential vitamins and minerals to function properly. Ideally, you’d get all the vitamins and essential nutrients your body needs from your regular diet. However, most people, even those that eat healthily, don’t get enough vitamins through food. While consuming all the different food groups throughout the day is ideal, it’s unrealistic. Most adults do not get their nutritional requirements from their diet alone, making taking vitamins a crucial part of many people’s daily routines. 

Taking vitamins can help supplement your diet and improve your physical and mental health. When your body isn’t getting enough nutrients, you’ll feel it and maybe even see it. Everything from fatigue to hair loss is a sign of vitamin deficiency. Vitamin deficiencies are serious, so getting enough vitamins every day is important. This article will discuss the importance of taking vitamins and what vitamins you should take. 

Importance of Vitamins

Vitamin production in our bodies slows as we age, leading to deficiency in many different nutrients. Vitamins play a significant role in our health and wellness, preventing disease and improving general health. Taking a multivitamin daily can lower your risk of many diseases, including cancer. In addition, multivitamins can help boost your immune system and fight off toxins and germs. Always consult your doctor before taking a new vitamin or supplement to ensure it’s healthy for you based on your unique health needs. 

What Vitamins to Take 

Everyone is different; many people are deficient in vitamins, while others are deficient in other vitamins. What vitamins you need to take will mostly depend on your diet. The nutrients you’re not getting from food are those that you’ll need to take in supplement form. Here are the vitamins you might need to take daily. 

  • Vitamin A: This vitamin maintains vision, immunity, and skin health while promoting fertility and regular cycles in women. You get vitamin A from eggs, shrimp, fish, dairy products, and of course, carrots. Animal products typically contain higher amounts of vitamin A, making them the more efficient option if you need more vitamin A in your diet.
  • B-vitamins: There are many different types of B vitamins, but this group is typically known as the energy vitamins because they help metabolize food into energy. However, vitamin B also helps detoxify the liver, promotes nerve function, and produces hormones. In addition, B vitamins improve brain function, and deficiencies in B12 and B6 have been linked to cognitive decline and mental health issues like anxiety and depression.
  • Vitamin C: Many people take vitamin C when they’re under the weather because it’s an antioxidant that can protect your cells from free radicals. It also strengthens the immune system while killing viruses in the body. However, vitamin C also aids in the absorption of iron and enhances collagen production to improve skin health.
  • Vitamin D: Vitamin D is created through the skin from sunlight. However, you can also obtain some amounts of this vitamin through food. Vitamin D works with magnesium, vitamin K, and calcium to support healthy bones. However, it can also decrease inflammation and protect your immune system while providing essential brain support. Unfortunately, vegans often lack enough vitamin D because food sources are animal products or byproducts, so if you live in a place that doesn’t get sun year-round, you’ll likely need a vitamin D supplement. 
  • Vitamin E: This is another antioxidant known for promoting skin health. Vitamin E decreases inflammation and helps repair damaged skin while preventing the signs of aging. When taken alongside vitamin C, it can also help reduce skin problems like acne and eczema. 
  • Vitamin K: Vitamin K has two forms, one known for its ability to help the blood clot and the other known for its effects on bone health. Vitamin K2 enhances calcium and vitamin D absorption to help your bones stay strong. It can also increase bone mass.
  • Magnesium: Magnesium is a mineral that improves bone health and enhances energy production. However, it can also improve the nervous system, aid sleep, and regulate muscle and nerve function. Unfortunately, many people are magnesium deficient because they’re not eating foods rich in this nutrient, including nuts, pumpkins, and spinach. 
  • Calcium: Like magnesium, many people are deficient in calcium. Calcium is necessary for strong bones and teeth, so it’s an important nutrient, especially as you age. Women start losing bone density earlier than men; they may need a supplement to strengthen their bones. 
  • Zinc: Zinc supports your immune system and helps your body convert nutrients, like carbs, protein, and fat, for energy. It can also promote wound healing. 
  • Iron: Iron increases energy and improves brain function. However, some individuals need more iron than others daily. Those who eat red meat likely get enough iron. However, women who have menstrual cycles or are pregnant may need to increase the amount of iron they consume. 

Is Supplementing Your Diet Necessary

Many people may wonder if they need to take vitamins every day. Some people don’t need vitamins, especially those with strict diets or individuals working with a nutritionist or doctor to improve their health. Supplements should not replace healthy meals, so even if you’re taking vitamins daily, you should still aim to eat enough fruit, vegetables, and protein to avoid vitamin deficiencies. You can ensure that you’re getting enough vitamins daily by checking food labels or using an app to help track your nutrient intake.

Supplementing your diet can be beneficial or necessary, depending on your health. For example, if you have a vitamin deficiency, a change in your diet might not be enough to get your levels back up to normal. Additionally, individuals with chronic diseases may take supplements to improve their health. 

Final Thoughts

Your body’s natural production of vitamins decreases as you age, so talking to your doctor can help you determine which vitamins are right for you based on your unique circumstances. Vitamins significantly impact your health, so there’s no reason to let a deficiency get in the way of how you feel. Getting enough nutrients is key to living a long, healthy life. A multivitamin may help you build your immune system and address deficiencies that negatively impact your health.
