Folk Music

By

 Folk music is the music of our soil, our root. Folk music is mostly the music of rural people. It is an integral part of our culture. It represents the lifestyle of people in a particular area. It represents their history, their dream, aspiration. Folk music is a tale of happiness and sorrow. The major folk kinds of music of our country are Baul song, Bhawaiya song, jari song, murshid song. Our country is enriched in culture and so is our folk music. Folk music is also based on season and people's living hood. For example, Gambhira is popular among the people of Rajshahi. Gambhira is the song of the summer season. Bhawaiya song was generated in Rangpur. It is popular among the coaches of the bullock cart of Rangpur district. Bhatiyali is popular among the people of the Mymensingh district. Mostly Bhatiyali songs are composed and sung by the boatman. Different poets and writers have used these folk songs in their writings. Our rural poet JasimUddin has played a vital role in collecting folk songs, preserving them, and using them successfully in his writings. Instruments are hardly used in folk music. People sing them individually and often in chorus. For centuries, rural people of our country celebrate their lives with folk music. No matter how modern we become, we should never forget about our traditions and culture. Our new generations should be introduced to folk music. It's our duty to preserve them and introduced them to the new generation.

My Visit to Sylhet

By
 Sylhet is one of the most beautiful places in Bangladesh. It's a place of natural beauty. Sylhet is widely known for having tea gardens and hills. It is also a holy place as it is known as the place of 360 awlias(saints). Last year I got the opportunity to go to Sylhet. I visited Sylhet with my family. We went there by train. I sat beside the window and enjoy the scenes through the window. I was overwhelmed by the natural scenes. After seven hours long journey, we reached Sylhet. We visited all the places of tourist attractions like- Jaflong which is near the Indian border, Ratargul swamp forest, Lauachara forest, and Tangua Haor. We spent five days in Sylhet. I enjoyed each and every moments of my Sylhet tour.

Our independence day is 26th March and Victory day is 16th December. The national language of our country is Bangla.

My Pet (Bird)

By
Birds are the beautiful creature of almighty. I love birds. That's why on my last birthday my brother presented me a parrot. I call it Mithu. It is very beautiful. It has a red beak, long tail, and green feather. I give it foods and water. It loves to eat seeds, rice, chilies, and fruits like mango, guava. Mithu is very intelligent. She can imitate people's voice. She says almost anything that we talk. When I go to school, I put her on a cage. When I come back from school, she becomes very happy and starts shouting. She always prefers to be among us and get pampered by us.  Mithu is not only a bird but also a very good friend of mine. I love her company more than anything else. She is loved by all of my family members. We are really grateful to have her in our life.
