My personal website Bangla Book has entered into 21k visitors yesterday since its journey on Feb 2008. But if you consider all the pages of the website, the figure reached at 38k visitors.
I would like to thank all the visitors for spending their valuable time on my writings. Also thanks to those who sent remarks at my guest book. I would like to thank those who sent emails regarding my writings. Indeed I have been benefited a lot from all these remarks. Thanks to all again
I launched this website when I was in Cyberjaya, Malaysia. I have purchased space from Yahoo to make this Bangla Book website and I need to pay around USD 12 per month for using My Domain and Space.
I am planning to write something now but the progress is very slow as most of the time I spend on searching job in Dallas. I am looking for a teaching position as I only know how to teach. Meanwhile I am planning to work at Pizza Hut as Assistant Manager/Helper. I am on the way to apply.

Asthma patient and Ice Cream
Suddenly Maria had some asthma problem so we immediately brought her to the emergency of Children Medical Center in Dallas, which is 45 minutes drive from my house in Richardson. It is govt owned hospital.
As soon as we brought her to emergency, all the doctors rushed to her to treat and serve. Maria was there for six hours and every ten minutes, doctors came to see her progress. Really they served Maria very well. We came back home in the same day. Now Maria is fine and start her school again.
But when we saw medical bill, they charged us almost USD 3000 for only six hours service. How big is it? Almost ten thousand Ringitt (Malaysian currency) for six hours service only.
However since Maria has Social Security Support, most of it has been discounted and we will have to pay only few hundred dollars. And this payment can be made by installment over the months or years.
But an illegal resident will not get any social security support and I do not know how they survive especially when they need medical attention.
In USA, the medical bill will come to you after the treatment and you can pay it by installment such as in one year, two year etc. Treatment first whether the patient is legal or illegal or tourist in the country. No hospital can deny treatment by law.
What is suprise, doctor offered Maria to take ice cream in the emergency room when Maria wanted to take something. We surprised to see how an asthma patient can be offered ice cream? There is no link between Asthma and Ice cream, doctor commented with a smile.
We are fine. US economy I assume recovering gradually. Rate of unemployment is dropping gradually. Hope so I will get one job soon.

Khodar Khoje (In search of God)
As I told you I am writing a book entitled "Khodar Khoje (In search of God)" It would be a small book. The main spirit of this book is Panentheism which states that God exists within as well as outside the universe which contradicts with trasendence (meaning that God is beyond everything).
I wrote a sentence in the draft : Ami takeeye dekhi dokhkhin akashe khodar hashi choreeye poreche ( I see God is smiling in the sky)
One of my close friends immediately reacted and put an argument against it (as he follows trasendence doctrine I guess). I would like to respect his comment particularly about this sentence stated above. I wrote it as I see God's existence from the panentheism point of view, one of the school of thoughts in the study of theosophy and metaphysics.
I am still thinking about the book and keeping touch with my friends who normally give comments. However I have written already 20 pages where I am a medical doctor working in Dallas but I always see the shade of God here and there even while I drive in the Dallas highway.
Panentheism is an amalgamation of trasendence (God is beyond everything) and Pantheism (where the universe is an expression of God only).

Komol is working hard
Komol is really working hard to pass her medical qualification examination which is knocking at the door. So now a days, I cook at home so that she can continue her study. Her test center is located close to our apartment.
I told her if you fail the exam, appear again and again but do not worry about failing exam. Take it easy so that you can have a better and healthy life.
Last week I found a statistics states that about 70 million Americans have sleeping problem out of 300 million (the population size). And 15 million are out of job right now (I am one of them bye the bye).

Happy to know
Just received a call from my student in Multimedia University stating that he has passed the PhD viva. Thanks to God and thanks to viva committee. Indeed he has been working hard on his thesis for the last many years.
Job hunting at Sears
Sears is a chain shop where you can find all the household goods. I went there yesterday (which is located at Plano Road in Richardson) in search of a job. Manager told me they have a cashier position and asked me to apply. She brought me to a computer and asked me to apply on line.
I did accordingly but I had to answer 90 questions related to management and customer dealing. I did not give importance as I thought these these are only formalities. I just answered and declined to answer 20 of them out of 90..
Finally I submitted the online form and went to Manager again. She opened my file and said "Sorry, you could not pass the exam". I said "I did not appear any exam". She said, yes, you did as you had to answer 90 questions, Is it not? Then she told me, the whole system will be blocked for you for another 90 days as you have failed. So after 90 days, the system will reopen again and you can appear in exam. I am keeping your CV with me.
So I came out from the office. So the lesson is whenever we do something, we should not simply underestimate it. We should do it seriously. Thanks to Manager as she was polite and gentle.
The position as cashier in Sears is simply a odd job for me as it does not matches with my education and experiences. But it does not mean that it will lower my status in the society or people will look down upon me. Indeed, job is job and we should respect all types of jobs and profession as long as it is legal and not harmful for the society. For instance, Jesus Christ was a carpenter only but almost one third of the world population follow him.

University of Texas at Dallas
Today I am on the way to University of Texas at Dallas which is 20 minutes drive from my Richardson apartment. There I will be looking for an employment oppurtunity at any position. I am bringing some CVs with me so that I can use it there. Now a days, it is hard to get job but I am actively looking for.
In the afternoon I will be applying at Barnes and Noble book store at Garland for a position. They asked me to apply immediately as before Christmas they normally higher people. It is a book store.
Ok I am going now. It is 8 am in Richardson. Already purchased some Roti from Fiesta. These stuffs are good and I like it. Bye for a while.
Please do not lose your hope and confidence about employment (I am telling it to me). You will get it if you have faith, even if you ask the mountain to move, it will if you have faith (Holy Bible).
