Let's know about the day. Good Friday, the Friday before Easter, is the Christian day to commemorate the crucifixion of Jesus and His death at Calvary. This Christian holiday is also known as Holy Friday, Great Friday, Great and Holy Friday, and Black Friday.

Improve your English - Few points

Dear Students, In school we learn English as our first language though none of our mother tongue is English. So, most of us face difficulties to learn, write and communicate in English.  English is first of all a language that a part of people in the world have it as their own mother tongue like we all do have our own. Even English people have learnt the language in their childhood by hearing their parents speaks and slowly put it into practice in a long run. Three techniques to learn any language 1.      First Hear a lot (Hearing sense plays a quite big magics) 2.      Then try to make your inner voices in that specific language. ( Note : do not translate your own language to the language you learn, literally you have to try think in that new language itself ) 3.      Finally Speak it out confidently. There are 4 stages of speaking any language: 1.       Speaking the language in very basic level without proper tenses - [O...

(১)  রবীন্দ্রনাথ ঠাকুর সুভাষচন্দ্রকে 'দেশনায়ক' আখ্যা দিয়ে তাসের দেশ নৃত্যনাট্যটি তাঁকে উৎসর্গ করেন। উৎসর্গপত্রে লেখেন: "স্বদেশের চিত্তে নূতন প্রাণ সঞ্চার করবার পূণ্যব্রত তুমি গ্রহণ করেছ, সেই কথা স্মরণ ক’রে তোমার নামে ‘তাসের দেশ’ নাটিকা উৎসর্গ করলুম।" ১৯৩৪ এ বর্মার (বর্তমান মায়ানমার) মান্দালয়ের জেলে বন্দি থাকা অবস্থায় সুভাষ চন্দ্র গুরুতর অসুস্থ হয়ে পড়েন। ব্রিটিশ সরকার তাঁকে এক শর্তে মুক্তি দিতে রাজী হন যে, ভারতের কোনো ভূখণ্ড না ছুঁয়ে তিনি যদি বিদেশে কোথাও পাড়ি দেন তবে মুক্তি পাওয়া যাবে। সুভাষ চন্দ্র ইউরোপে যাওয়া মনস্থ করেন ও ভিয়েনা পৌঁছান। দু'বছর চিকিৎসাধীন থাকার সময়ে অবসরে তিনি দুটি বই লেখার সিদ্ধান্ত নেন, তাঁর আত্মজীবনী 'Indian Pilgrim' এবং 'India's struggle for freedom'। নেতাজী তাঁর আত্মজীবনীতে লিখেছিলেন, “Vivekananda entered my life”. ত্যাগে বেহিসাবি, কর্মে বিরামহীন, প্রেমে সীমাহীন স্বামীজির জ্ঞান ছিল যেমন গভীর তেমনি বহুমুখী । ………… আমাদের জগতে এরূপ ব্যাক্তিত্ব বিরল । স্বামীজি ছিল পৌরুষসম্পন্ন পূর্ণাঙ্গ  মানুষ ……… ঘণ্টার পর ঘণ্টা...
