Morning greets us with Upturned eyes. Or is it just me?

Always the same whining about the distances, always the same

I see flicker the auroras of Jupiter.

One of our classmates got into the Department of Mechatronics Engineering at Khulna University of Engineering and Technology (KUET), a very well-deserved achievement given his passion for robotics. But whereas we expected him to post photos in front of blueprints of robotic models, we instead received Instagram stories from him in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Dhaka.

You have slept, but did it help?

We have murdered our humanity and left it to rot at the sanctuary of democracy.

Daffodils and forget-me-nots smile under the Autumn Sun.

Just because a huge number of highly successful people happen to be from leading public universities doesn’t mean all their achievements can be attributed to their institutions.
