Favorites of This Month

Helloo. How's everything? Here are some stuffs I enjoyed this month. No spoiler has been given. So if you want, you can try some of them and enjoy all the surprises they have in stock. Books The Alchemist - Paulo Coelho A Spanish young man goes in search of treasure after encountering a mysterious man. The journey isn't easy at all. But as he moves forward, he keeps learning about the mystic truth of world and life itself.  The Alchemist is one of the most inspiring books I've ever read. It talks about following your dream, what obstacles come in its path, why they come and how to prevent them. The story is certainly not about the destination but about the journey. Each and every sentence of the book hits right into realization and makes you wonder how you knew all these stuffs all along but didn't realize them in the same way. The following quote of the Alchemist fits this feeling the most-                "I only invoked what you already knew." বিবর্ণ তুষার -

Time-lapse Digital Art

  Hi, hope you're doing okay. And Happy Independence Day :D Today I've prepared something light for you. Yeah, no philosophy or fact or anything. Here are time-lapse drawing process of a floral illustration and a mandala. I used ibis Paint X app to draw them.

Calling of the Heart

I've seen a lot of people (and been one myself) saving up all the things they wish to do for someday in future. Because they are busy to do all the things they need to do today. The question is- will they be able to fulfill their wish? Or more importantly, will they have the will left to fulfill those wish in the future? Our heart is like a 5 y/o kid. Sometimes it gets interested in something on a whimsical wish. It keeps telling you to give it what it wants. You can either choose to make it happy by appeasing its desire or you can simply ignore it. If you choose the latter one, well, its gonna cry for a while; but give it something else to be busy with, it will completely forget about whatever it wished for. There's another way- you can give it the hope that you will get that stuff for it later. What happens then? One day you buy that stuff or get it somehow- but you will find out that the once burning desire is replaced with something else.  This kind of explains why we find

Intro

Quick note : The title of this post itself doesn't make any sense but if you go to 'Learning' section from the menu bar/menu dropdown and click on 'Web Development', it will make some sense. And if you're already here, cool 👌  One new thing I started this year is learning web development. The thought of learning web development didn't come out of the blue. Last year I started learning Python. I learned the basics of it but then decided to take a break because...well, this meme I found on the internet gives some idea :')  So then I started to think what to do next. I fell in love with coding, more specifically, logical operation and systematic approach towards solving a problem. But I wanted to create something responsive and visual, something that a user could navigate easily. Yup, like an app. Using Android Studio for app development seemed to be the best option but the laptop I use is not efficient enough to run that program. So, then I decided to lea

From Dream to Disaster

Jiro Horikoshi- a man of genius whose name is certainly an important one in the history of aircraft. Unfortunately, his best creation is associated with one of the darkest chapters of history. Before jumping into that story, let's first take a look at this ingenious man's life. Jiro's dream and desire revolved around aeroplane ever since his childhood. He had to give up on his childhood dream of being a pilot because of being nearsighted. But he came to know that it was possible to work with aeroplanes even without being a pilot- by designing them. Thus he found the passion of his life that would lead him to accomplish his dream followed by the upcoming events of ups and downs. Born in 1903, Jiro was growing up in the time when Japan was slowly adapting to the western technology. In his early 20s, he started studying at Tokyo University in the newly opened aviation program. But the Kanto Earthquake of 1923 put a hold to life. The earthquake took place in the afternoon when
