climate change

ফেরিওয়ালা ফেরিওয়ালা 很久以前,在一個與我們的世界並沒有太大不同的世界裡,有一個繁榮的星球,名叫泰拉。 它的土地鬱鬱蔥蔥,天空晴朗,海洋閃爍著生命的光芒。 泰拉人民世世代代與自然和諧相處,並理解維持所有生物的微妙平衡。 但隨著時間的推移,人們變得更加雄心勃勃。 他們建造了高聳的城市,深入地下挖掘資源,並製造了煙霧繚繞的機器。 他們燃燒化石燃料為他們的世界提供動力,砍伐森林為他們的城市騰出空間,並污染河流為他們的工業提供燃料。 起初,這些變化似乎很小,幾乎是看不見的。 但地球開始顯示出壓力的跡象。 冬天越來越暖和,夏天越來越熱。 暴風雨變得更加猛烈,乾旱也變得更加漫長。 曾經強大的冰川開始融化,導致海平面上升,整個沿海城市開始消失在海浪下。 曾經在泰拉豐富的生態系中繁衍生息的動物隨著棲息地的消失而艱難生存。 儘管有這些警訊,泰拉上的許多人還是忽略了這些變化。 他們繼續生活,相信這個星球可以承受任何事。 然而,其他人注意到了這些變化。 科學家、學者和環保人士紛紛發出警告,稱這種損害正在變得不可逆轉。 他們稱之為氣候變化,這是一種正在緩慢但堅定地重塑世界的力量。 來自泰拉各個角落的領導人開會討論可以做什麼。 有些人不願意,認為改變的成本太大。 但其他人意識到,不採取任何行動的代價會更大。 他們開始朝著改變邁出一小步——植樹、減少污染、轉向利用太陽能和風能等再生能源。 但氣候變遷是一股無情的力量,因多年的忽視而加劇。 儘管努力不斷加大,地球仍在持續變暖。 野火蹂躪了曾經肥沃的土地,農作物歉收,許多物種滅絕。 由於大海吞沒了整個城鎮,居住在海岸附近的人們被迫離開家園。 由於天氣模式的變化不可預測,整個國家都面臨糧食和水短缺的問題。 然而,在混亂之中,希望依然存在。 新一代在成長過程中了解了維護泰拉微妙平衡的重要性。 他們採用新技術,在不損害地球的情況下利用地球的自然力量。 風力渦輪機取代了煙囪,電動車取代了耗油的發動機,大片森林被重新種植以治癒土地。 人們開始減少消費,更永續地生活,從過去的錯誤中學習。 這並不容易,也不是一朝一夕就能實現的。 但慢慢地,潮流開始轉變。 風暴減弱,火災燒毀的土地減少,季節又開始變得更可預測。 泰拉人民了解到,雖然他們造成了傷害,但他們也擁有治癒傷害的力量。 儘管氣候變遷在地球上留下了傷痕,但這些傷痕卻成為了提醒——提醒我們失去了什麼以及仍然可以挽救什麼。 泰拉人民發誓永遠不會忘記,他們明白他們的未來與星球的健康息息相關。 他們學會了不凌駕於自然之上而生活,而是與自然並肩而行,建立一種持續到子孫後代的夥伴關係。 於是,泰拉開始痊癒,一次一點點的改變,證明即使面對巨大的破壞,希望也能帶來更光明、更永續的未來。

Climate change

ফেরিওয়ালা Once upon a time, in a world not too different from ours, there was a thriving planet named Terra. Its lands were lush with greenery, its skies were clear, and its oceans sparkled with life. The people of Terra lived in harmony with nature for generations, understanding the delicate balance that sustained all living things. But as time went on, the people became more ambitious. They built towering cities, dug deep into the earth for resources, and created machines that filled the skies with smoke. They burned fossil fuels to power their world, cut down forests to make space for their cities, and polluted rivers to fuel their industries. At first, the changes seemed small, almost invisible. But the planet began to show signs of stress. The winters grew warmer, the summers hotter. Storms became more violent, and droughts longer. The once mighty glaciers began to melt, causing the seas to rise, and entire coastal cities started disappearing beneath the waves. Animals that had once thrived in Terra’s rich ecosystems struggled to survive as their habitats vanished. Despite these warning signs, many people on Terra ignored the changes. They carried on with their lives, believing the planet could withstand anything. Others, however, noticed the shifts. Scientists, scholars, and environmentalists spoke out, warning that the damage was becoming irreversible. They called it climate change, a force that was slowly but surely reshaping the world. Leaders from all corners of Terra met to discuss what could be done. Some were reluctant, seeing the cost of change as too great. But others realized that the cost of doing nothing would be even greater. They began to make small steps toward change—planting trees, cutting back on pollution, and turning to renewable energy sources like the sun and wind. But climate change was a relentless force, fueled by years of neglect. Even as efforts grew, the planet continued to warm. Wildfires ravaged once fertile lands, crops failed, and many species went extinct. People who lived near the coasts were forced to leave their homes as the seas swallowed entire towns. Entire nations faced food and water shortages as weather patterns shifted unpredictably. Yet, amid the chaos, hope remained. New generations grew up understanding the importance of preserving Terra’s delicate balance. They embraced new technologies that harnessed the planet’s natural power without harming it. Wind turbines replaced smokestacks, electric cars replaced gas-guzzling engines, and vast forests were replanted to heal the land. People began to consume less and live more sustainably, learning from the mistakes of the past. It was not easy, and it did not happen overnight. But slowly, the tide began to turn. The storms lessened, the fires burned fewer acres, and the seasons started to become more predictable again. The people of Terra learned that while they had caused the damage, they also held the power to heal it. And though climate change left scars on the planet, those scars became reminders—reminders of what had been lost and what could still be saved. The people of Terra vowed never to forget, understanding that their future was tied to the health of their planet. They learned to live not above nature, but alongside it, in a partnership that would last for generations to come. And so, Terra began to heal, one small change at a time, proving that even in the face of great destruction, hope could lead to a brighter, more sustainable future.

Rain

ফেরিওয়ালা The rain started with a soft whisper, like a secret passed between the clouds and the earth. It began as a gentle mist, the kind that only dusts your skin and leaves the scent of wet earth hanging in the air. Emily sat by the window, her hand resting on the cool glass, watching the drops roll down in delicate streams. The sky was a pale gray, the horizon blurred as if the world was still deciding whether to wake up or remain in a dream. The first real raindrops fell like quiet footsteps, a rhythm that slowly built into a song. It tapped against the roof, drummed on the windows, and trickled down the leaves of the old oak tree outside. Emily had always loved the rain. There was something soothing about the way it washed the world clean, as if it could erase everything troubling or tired. Out in the garden, small puddles began to form. The flowers, which had been parched by the sun for days, seemed to breathe easier now. Their petals shimmered under the weight of the water, bending slightly but never breaking. Emily imagined they were grateful, drinking in the cool rain after days of longing for it. As the rain grew heavier, it became a steady roar, the kind that could drown out even the loudest of thoughts. Emily wrapped her fingers around the mug of tea she'd been holding and took a sip, letting the warmth spread through her. She closed her eyes and listened, feeling the rain wash away the noise inside her mind too. Somewhere in the distance, thunder rumbled, low and steady, like the sound of the earth shifting in its sleep. The wind picked up, tossing the branches of the trees in wild arcs. But Emily didn’t mind. Even the storm had its own beauty. It was the kind of rain that demanded to be heard, to be felt, reminding everyone of the power that lay just beyond their control. She opened the window slightly, just enough to let in the cool, damp air. The smell of rain—fresh, alive—filled the room. She breathed it in, feeling connected to the world outside, to the soil, the leaves, and the streams forming along the sidewalk. It was as if the rain wasn’t just falling on the world, but into it, soaking into its very core, reminding everything that it was alive and constantly changing. Hours passed, but Emily didn’t notice. The rain had lulled her into a kind of peaceful trance. She stayed there, by the window, until the storm began to soften. The thunder moved farther away, the heavy droplets turning back into a gentle drizzle. The clouds began to part, revealing faint patches of blue. By the time the rain stopped entirely, the world outside looked different. The air was clear, the colors richer. The garden seemed more vibrant, the flowers standing tall again. The puddles, once deep, were beginning to evaporate, but for now, they held reflections of the sky above. Emily smiled. The rain had come and gone, but it left the world—and her—feeling just a little bit renewed.

Saudi Arabia Will Not Recognize Israel Without Palestinian State, Says Crown Prince

In a major statement reflecting the continued significance of the Palestinian issue in Middle Eastern geopolitics, Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) has reiterated that normalization of relations between Saudi Arabia and Israel cannot occur without the establishment of a Palestinian state. This declaration comes amidst growing speculation and diplomatic efforts aimed at expanding the Abraham Accords, under which several Arab nations have already formalized ties with Israel.

The Crown Prince's Position

During a widely covered interview, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman clarified that while Saudi Arabia views Israel as a potential partner, any official recognition will depend on addressing the long-standing Israeli-Palestinian conflict. He emphasized that Riyadh supports a two-state solution, with East Jerusalem as the capital of a sovereign Palestinian state, which has been the Arab League's unified position for decades.

“We hope that the situation improves,” said MBS. “For us, the Palestinian issue is very important. We want to see the rights of the Palestinian people achieved and respected.”

This sentiment underscores Saudi Arabia’s commitment to the 2002 Arab Peace Initiative, which was spearheaded by the kingdom. The initiative calls for full normalization with Israel only if Israel withdraws from the territories occupied since 1967 and agrees to the establishment of an independent Palestinian state.

Regional Diplomacy and Shifts in the Middle East

While the Crown Prince’s remarks reaffirm a traditional stance, they also come at a time when the region has been undergoing substantial diplomatic shifts. Several Gulf states, including the UAE, Bahrain, and Morocco, have normalized relations with Israel through the U.S.-brokered Abraham Accords. These agreements have largely focused on economic cooperation, security, and technology-sharing between Israel and these countries, sidelining the Palestinian question. However, Saudi Arabia, the de facto leader of the Arab and Islamic worlds, has thus far abstained from joining the Accords, citing the need for a resolution to the Palestinian conflict.

Despite these diplomatic movements, Saudi-Israeli relations have seen some behind-the-scenes collaboration, particularly in areas like countering the influence of Iran. Both countries view Iran as a major regional threat, which has fostered a quiet convergence of interests, especially in the realms of security and intelligence sharing. However, public normalization has remained elusive.

U.S. Role in Facilitating Talks

The U.S., particularly under the Biden administration, has been actively working to mediate between Saudi Arabia and Israel to encourage normalization. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's statements come amid heightened efforts by Washington to broker a broader deal that could include security guarantees for Saudi Arabia, access to advanced American defense systems, and support for the kingdom’s civilian nuclear ambitions.

However, the Palestinian issue remains a stumbling block in these negotiations. Saudi leaders have made it clear that they cannot proceed with normalization without addressing Palestinian grievances, a position likely influenced by both domestic and regional public opinion. The Palestinian cause continues to resonate with large segments of the Arab and Muslim populations, for whom the unresolved conflict is seen as a central injustice.

The Palestinian Perspective

Palestinian leaders, while welcoming Saudi Arabia’s continued support, have expressed concerns about the growing trend of Arab states normalizing ties with Israel without securing significant concessions for the Palestinians. They have argued that such agreements weaken the Arab world’s leverage in securing a fair settlement for the Palestinians, potentially undermining the long-standing Arab consensus on the issue.

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas has previously warned against any normalization deals that exclude the Palestinian cause, calling them a “betrayal” of the Palestinian people. Saudi Arabia's position, however, offers some reassurance to the Palestinians that the kingdom will not follow the path of other Arab states without substantial progress on their issue.

A Delicate Balance

As the regional landscape evolves, Saudi Arabia finds itself balancing its traditional commitment to the Palestinian cause with new opportunities for cooperation with Israel, particularly in light of shared strategic concerns over Iran and opportunities for economic development. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has spearheaded Vision 2030, an ambitious plan to diversify Saudi Arabia's economy, reduce its reliance on oil, and position the kingdom as a global economic and technological hub. Normalizing relations with Israel, a leader in technology and innovation, could significantly contribute to these goals.

Nevertheless, the Crown Prince’s statements make clear that Saudi Arabia will not forgo its historical role as a defender of Palestinian rights in pursuit of its own interests. The path to normalization, while still possible, hinges on Israel’s willingness to engage meaningfully in the peace process and offer tangible concessions towards the creation of a Palestinian state.

Conclusion

Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's reaffirmation of Saudi Arabia’s stance on Israeli-Palestinian relations sends a strong signal to both regional and international players. While Saudi-Israeli normalization is not off the table, it is inextricably tied to the fate of the Palestinian people and their aspirations for statehood. As the U.S. and other global powers continue their diplomatic efforts, the future of Middle East peace hinges on resolving the longstanding conflict between Israelis and Palestinians—a challenge that has defied solution for decades.

The next steps will likely depend on Israel’s readiness to reengage with the peace process and the extent to which international pressure can bring about a meaningful breakthrough in one of the world’s most intractable conflicts.

Finnish Students Go Back to School with Books, Not Screens

ফেরিওয়ালা

This autumn, students in the Finnish town of Riihimaki headed back to school with backpacks full of books. This marks a change from recent years.

For the past 10 years, the Finnish government pushed laptops and other electronic devices in the classroom.

Finland's public education system is known for its good results and its readiness to try new teaching methods. Until recently, many schools gave laptops for free to all students from as early as age 11.

But Finnish parents and teachers have become increasingly concerned over the effect of screens on children.

Riihimaki is a town of about 30,000 people. It sits 70 kilometers north of the capital, Helsinki. In 2018, the town’s middle schools stopped using most books. But this school year, schools in Riihimaki are going back to pen and paper.

"Young people are using phones and digital devices so much these days that we don't want school to be one of the places where children are only staring at screens," said Maija Kaunonen, an English teacher at Pohjolanrinne middle school.

The distractions that come with the use of digital devices make many children restless and unable to give their full attention to learning, Kaunonen said.

She added, "Most students just did the exercises as quick as they could” so they could then move on to using social media.

"And it took them no time at all to change tabs in the browser. So when the teacher came round to them, they could say: 'Yes, I was doing this exercise'."

Across Finland, children's learning results have been slowly getting worse in recent years. In answer, the government plans new laws to ban the use of personal devices, such as phones, during school hours to cut back on screen time.

One of Kaunonen's students is 14-year-old Elle Sokka. She said she did not always pay attention to the school subjects when learning digitally. Instead, she moved to another web page.

Eighth-graders Miko Mantila and Inka Warro, both 14, said their concentration has improved since books returned to the classrooms.

"Reading, for one, is much easier and I can read much faster from books," Mantila said.

"And if you have to do homework late at night, it's easier to go to sleep when you haven't just been looking at a device," Warro added.

Minna Peltopuro is a psychologist working with the town on the change. She said the total screen time should be cut because Finnish teenagers currently stare at a screen for up to six hours each day on average. She added that too much use of electronic devices comes with both physical and mental risks, such as eye problems and growing anxiety.

Peltopuro added that the brain is at risk when trying to do more than one thing at a time. "Especially at a young age, one cannot manage it well," she said.

 এই শরৎকালে, ফিনিশ শহরের রিহিমাকির শিক্ষার্থীরা বই ভর্তি ব্যাকপ্যাক নিয়ে স্কুলে ফিরে যায়।  এটি সাম্প্রতিক বছর থেকে একটি পরিবর্তন চিহ্নিত করে।

 গত 10 বছর ধরে, ফিনিশ সরকার ক্লাসরুমে ল্যাপটপ এবং অন্যান্য ইলেকট্রনিক ডিভাইসগুলিকে ঠেলে দিয়েছে।

 ফিনল্যান্ডের পাবলিক শিক্ষা ব্যবস্থা তার ভাল ফলাফল এবং নতুন শিক্ষা পদ্ধতি চেষ্টা করার জন্য তার প্রস্তুতির জন্য পরিচিত।  সম্প্রতি পর্যন্ত, অনেক স্কুল 11 বছর বয়স থেকে সকল ছাত্রদের বিনামূল্যে ল্যাপটপ দিয়েছে।

 কিন্তু ফিনিশ অভিভাবকরা এবং শিক্ষকরা শিশুদের উপর পর্দার প্রভাব নিয়ে উদ্বিগ্ন হয়ে উঠেছেন।

 রিহিমাকি প্রায় 30,000 লোকের একটি শহর।  এটি রাজধানী হেলসিঙ্কি থেকে 70 কিলোমিটার উত্তরে অবস্থিত।  2018 সালে, শহরের মাধ্যমিক বিদ্যালয়গুলি বেশিরভাগ বই ব্যবহার করা বন্ধ করে দিয়েছে।  কিন্তু এই শিক্ষাবর্ষে, রিহিমাকির স্কুলগুলো আবার কাগজে কলমে ফিরে যাচ্ছে।

 পোহজোলানরিনে মিডল স্কুলের ইংরেজি শিক্ষিকা মাইজা কাউননেন বলেন, "যুবক-যুবতীরা আজকাল এত বেশি ফোন এবং ডিজিটাল ডিভাইস ব্যবহার করছে যে আমরা চাই না স্কুল এমন একটি জায়গা যেখানে শিশুরা শুধুমাত্র স্ক্রিনের দিকে তাকিয়ে থাকে"।

 কাউননেন বলেন, ডিজিটাল ডিভাইসের ব্যবহারে যে বিভ্রান্তিগুলি আসে তা অনেক শিশুকে অস্থির করে তোলে এবং শেখার প্রতি তাদের সম্পূর্ণ মনোযোগ দিতে পারে না।

 তিনি যোগ করেছেন, "বেশিরভাগ শিক্ষার্থীরা যত তাড়াতাড়ি সম্ভব ব্যায়াম করেছিল" যাতে তারা সোশ্যাল মিডিয়া ব্যবহার করতে পারে।

 "এবং ব্রাউজারে ট্যাব পরিবর্তন করতে তাদের মোটেও সময় লাগেনি। তাই যখন শিক্ষক তাদের কাছে আসেন, তারা বলতে পারেন: 'হ্যাঁ, আমি এই অনুশীলনটি করছিলাম'।"

 কাউননেনের একজন ছাত্র হল ১৪ বছর বয়সী এলি সোক্কা।  তিনি বলেছিলেন যে ডিজিটালভাবে শেখার সময় তিনি সবসময় স্কুলের বিষয়গুলিতে মনোযোগ দেন না।  পরিবর্তে, তিনি অন্য ওয়েব পৃষ্ঠায় চলে যান।

 অষ্টম-শ্রেণির মিকো ম্যান্টিলা এবং ইনকা ওয়ারো, দুজনেই ১৪ বছর বয়সী, বলেছেন যে ক্লাসরুমে বই ফেরত আসার পর থেকে তাদের ঘনত্বের উন্নতি হয়েছে।

 "পড়া, একজনের জন্য, অনেক সহজ এবং আমি বই থেকে অনেক দ্রুত পড়তে পারি," ম্যান্টিলা বলেছিলেন।

 "এবং যদি আপনাকে গভীর রাতে হোমওয়ার্ক করতে হয়, আপনি যখন কেবল একটি ডিভাইসের দিকে তাকাচ্ছেন না তখন ঘুমাতে যাওয়া সহজ," ওয়াররো যোগ করেছেন।

 মিন্না পেলটোপুরো একজন মনোবিজ্ঞানী যিনি এই পরিবর্তন নিয়ে শহরের সাথে কাজ করছেন।  তিনি বলেছিলেন যে মোট স্ক্রিন টাইম কাটা উচিত কারণ ফিনিশ কিশোর-কিশোরীরা বর্তমানে গড়ে প্রতিদিন ছয় ঘন্টা পর্যন্ত একটি স্ক্রিনের দিকে তাকিয়ে থাকে।  তিনি যোগ করেছেন যে ইলেকট্রনিক ডিভাইসের অত্যধিক ব্যবহার শারীরিক এবং মানসিক উভয় ঝুঁকির সাথে আসে, যেমন চোখের সমস্যা এবং ক্রমবর্ধমান উদ্বেগ।

Chapter 1: The Heart of the Bengal Delta

Bangladesh is a land of water. From the mighty rivers that carve its terrain to the monsoons that drench its fields, water shapes the identity of this vibrant nation. Nestled in South Asia, Bangladesh stands as a testimony to resilience—a nation born through bloodshed, nurtured by its rich soil, and continuously fighting against the odds of nature.

Bounded by India on three sides, with a coastline along the Bay of Bengal, Bangladesh occupies the fertile region of the Ganges-Brahmaputra delta, the largest river delta in the world. This delta, fed by the Padma (Ganges), the Jamuna (Brahmaputra), and the Meghna rivers, has shaped the geography, culture, and economy of Bangladesh for centuries. It is this interplay of rivers and land that has defined not only its agriculture but also its way of life.

In many ways, Bangladesh is a country defined by contrasts. On one hand, it faces some of the world’s most severe climate challenges—floods, cyclones, and rising sea levels. On the other hand, it is home to some of the most stunning biodiversity, including the famed Sundarbans, the world’s largest mangrove forest and the sanctuary of the endangered Royal Bengal Tiger.

Yet, Bangladesh is not just a story of rivers and resilience. Its people, rich with history and culture, have contributed to the vibrant tapestry of South Asian civilization. From its ancient kingdoms to the colonial struggles under British rule, and from the partition of India in 1947 to the bloody war of independence in 1971, Bangladesh’s history is one of survival, determination, and constant rebirth.

But beyond its turbulent history, Bangladesh today is a story of hope. In recent decades, it has emerged as one of the fastest-growing economies in the world, with its booming garment industry and burgeoning tech sector driving unprecedented development. Yet, for all its progress, the country remains deeply connected to its roots. Festivals, music, and art continue to play an integral role in the lives of its people, keeping alive traditions that stretch back thousands of years.

As we explore this remarkable nation, from its lush paddy fields to its bustling urban centers, from the poetry of its greatest writers to the stories of ordinary men and women, we will discover that Bangladesh is a land of paradoxes, possibilities, and profound beauty.
