my future plans- YASIR SIMON ISLAM

[uh.edu]

I have something to say to the Bangladeshi community over here.
No matter what I say and how annoying it is here at SCB, I would love to
share some of my thoughts over here...and I pretend not to answer them by
simply putting them in the form of queStions.
I woke up very early today, despite of my tiring yesterday, and
sat on a chair facing the streets of Willowbriar lane, drinking the sweet
raw extracts of Brazilian coffee.
I looked up into the decent street and thought about quite a few
resolutions, or to say. Why am I here? Who am I ? What am I supposed to
do? Am I patriotic ? Do I have an identity ? Am I a machine ? Do I have a
family ? Where are they ? And why am I here ? Am I here to solve anything
or to find a solution ? Am I forgetting my past, or am I too busy with my
present ? What is my future ? Am I a true citizen ? Am I drunk or what ?
Do I need to wake up from the jungle and try to find out my trueness?
Am I so blunt and so selfish that I have found out the true place to live
? Why am I so stupid ? Can anyone slap me and break my illusions ? Please
I need help, I need a doctor, I need to know that I need to go back, but
where? Where am I supposed to be ? Please Allah help me find out, why am I
so confused.
Every morning I have to go through answering these questions to
my own ethics, or if I have one. Yes I want to go back, become a good
teacher in Bangladesh, and help the poor children out of their miseries.
Is there anyone going to help me, or am I gonna be the only one. I am not
afraid to be the pioneer, I am not afraid of the task, I am not afraid of
the poverty, I am not afraid of the happenings, I will, and I will help
the damned to be not the damned.
I had a very good teacher when I was young, and Dr. Mahbubur
Rahman has showed me the insight to the world, to the world where I should
be. We will all help Bangladesh rise from the miseries of happenings, from
the darkness of the dawn, we will be happy and enjoy serving our nation
when one sweet morning we will wake up and find out that we have a whole
day to drink coffee and help out the solutions of the damned future.

Only taxi drivers and barbers know the solutions to all problems.
I drove a taxi in NYC for some years.
First give up that no good "raw extract of" Brazilian coffee and drink
some good Bangladeshi tea. All coffee in America taste awful including
the one they sell in Dunkin' Donut so it is not right to start the day
with a foul taste in the mouth.
"Why am I here? Who am I? Do I have an identity?".... These are silly
questions and if you ask yourself silly questions you might find that
the answers are sillier.
"How queer everything is today! And yesterday things went on just as
usual. I wonder if I've been changed in the night? Let me think: was I
the same when I got up this morning? I almost think I can remember
feeling a little different. But if I'm not the same, the next question
is, "Who in the world am I?" Ah, that's the great puzzle!"
Since you are not bothered by the dirt, disease and poverty and are
unafraid to be a pioneer go for it. Do what you want to do. "Become a
good teacher in Bangladesh and help the poor children out of there
miseries." And if the children do not appreciate your efforts in the
beginning do not be a cry baby and return to Houston, Texas but stick it
out.
Your middle name is Simon and I am sure you are aware of who Simon
was..... Simon Peter, the disciple of Jesus Christ, and one of the
twelve Opostles.
This is what Jesus said to Simon: "you are the rock on whom I shall
build my church." (Peter ... petra meaning rock in Latin). The founder
of the Catholic Church and the first Pope was Simon Peter.
Stop whining, and when you do return to BD start a school.
Otherwise Dr Mahbubur Rahman right now, after reading your posting,
might be thinking about denying all knowledge of producing one MIXED-UP
KID.

It is good to have a dream like you but it is difficult to implement it unless
you are not come from a rich family. You might like to help the country but
they might not need you. If you show your strength they might crush you. You
never know what will happen if you go back. Your honesty or sincerity might not
be valued by them. Because they are selfish and greedy. You know about whom I
am taking. They are elite and authority, holding big position and ruining the
country.

I wish to see a dream like you. But I am not brave to think about it since I
came from an ordinary middle class family. I have struggled in my whole life
back in Bangladesh. After a long effort, I came to this stage. I may not go
back to bangladesh but hopfully things will work fine for you. Good luck!
