“Any country that accepts abortion is not teaching its people to love but to use violence to get what they want. This is why the greatest destroyer of love and peace is abortion.” – Mother Teresa

When it come to abortion, you’ll find two groups of people: one who believes that abortion is killing a human being, and the other who believes that every women has the right to determine and control what happens to her own body.

For obvious reasons, I belong the to first group. I’m strongly against abortions or killing the human fetus. It’s a cruel manner of terminating the life of a human being, and we should all oppose it. However, if an abortion must be performed, then it should be done only under the following conditions, within the first trimester:

1. unwanted pregnancy while the girl is under the age of sixteen
2. forced intercourse
3. to preserve the health of the mother (serious medical or psychological problems)

The baby’s heart starts beating between 18 to 25 days of conception. In one month time, the baby’s eyes, legs, and hands begin to develop. In 40 days, the baby’s brain waves can be detected, her lips are present and fingernails are formed. By two and half months or 12 weeks, the baby can experience pain — she now has the spinal cord, nerves and the thalamus. The sweetest thing happens on the 17th week: she can now have dreams. Now you tell me: wouldn’t it be a cruel decision to kill this baby?

Every abortion is just…
One more heart that was stopped.
Two more eyes that will never see.
Two more hands that will never touch.
Two more legs that will never run.
One more mouth that will never speak.

Don’t support abortions. Don’t support the doctors who performs abortions. Say yes to life.

This blog post is dedicated in memory of the unborn children, victims of abortion.

I got this interesting e-mail from Mansi Maihar, who claimed to be the “Technical Sourcer” of Google.com Engineering Team:

“It is an exciting time at Google and we are always looking for the very best talent to join us. In a gist, I am looking for engineers for multiple positions like Director, Manager and engineers with Unix Sys Admin and SW background with strong coding skills. Being responsible for running the Google.com website should be an absolute challenge for any Engineer.

We have multiple positions in various locations in the US and Europe. If this prospect is of interest to you, please get in touch with me as I will like to share your resume with the hiring engineers to see if there is match. You may also know engineers with this skill set who are looking for fresh challenges; I will appreciate it if you will pass my contact information to them. I would really appreciate if you can attach your updated resume and let me know which position and location is of your interest.”

I verified carefully, and I’m quite sure that this isn’t spam. The mail was actually “signed” by Google.com, and it was sent from a computer at Google’s Mountain View office.

Just to have an offer from Google is now considered an honour… so I’m honoured. I’ll try replying this person, let’s see what happens.

Good news for Aktel’s post-paid customers! Aktel M2M and M+ subscribers will enjoy both BTTB incoming and outgoing facility from now on. The M2M package originally had mobile to mobile connectivity only. The M+ had an addition feature of BTTB incoming facility, which was the first of it’s kind in Bangladesh.

I’m already happy with my M+ connection which has a lot of cool features, such as single second pulse, 7 minutes of free BTTB incoming, GPRS, 3 FnF numbers, free customer support on 124, and so on. And now with BTTB outgoing facility, I’m even happier. Go, Aktel, go!

Anjalin sent me the scanned photograph of our class 4′s yearbook picture of Dhanmondi Tutorial and I’m so glad to get it. We were so little back then! Anjalin says we look like tiktikis!

Just in case if you haven’t recognized me yet: I’m sitting on front row, between the girls.
