The Crying Need Of The Planet .

Once upon a time , this world was filled with green trees , fresh water and people . There was a time when children used to play games in the green field . There was a time when the water was so pure we could see through it . There was a time when we had rivers full of fresh fishes and trees full of fresh fruits .

But today there are trees but that has no leaf  , there is water but  it is full of poison and there are people but they don't have any place to live . The water is so dark that you can hardly see your face in it . There are  rivers but it  has no water  . The fishes of the rivers are poisoned and the fruits of the trees are deadly . There is a dying planet in this universe and we are currently living in it . We must work together to revive this dying world and its nature because its the only place we have .

We can all talk but it is always  easier said than done . Don't wait for others to dig in .. If you can plant ten trees and tell ten people about the importance of planting trees . I think at least 5 of them will understand , as soon as they do that they will start planting trees and maybe 3 of them will tell 30 more people about it .  With the modern technologies we don't really need the analogue way of spreading a message but sometimes it works better than anything else . You don't have to be young or old , weak or strong , rich or poor to change the world . You can do anything you set your mind to . You can change the world , we can change the world

And maybe one day we will wake and see a playground full of green grass , a river full of clean water and a world full of joy  . Its all up to you and me now .

  

Sooner or later, we will have to recognise that the Earth has rights, too, to live without pollution. What mankind must know is that human beings cannot live without Mother Earth, but the planet can live without humans.

Evo Morales

Pollution is nothing but the resources we are not harvesting. We allow them to disperse because we've been ignorant of their value.

R. Buckminster Fuller

Our meaning is to make our little planet Earth a better place to live, to stop wars, disarm nuclear missiles, to stop diseases, AIDS, plague, cancer and to stop pollution.

Uri Geller

      

                                   We already have the statistics for the future: the growth percentages of                                   pollution, overpopulation, desertification. The future is already in place.

                    Gunter Grass

                                                                                                                            

  

                                                   

Approximately 80% of our air pollution stems from hydrocarbons released by vegetation, so let's not go overboard in setting and enforcing tough emission standards from man-made sources.

Ronald Reagan

“Water and air, the two essential fluids on which all life depends, have become global garbage cans.” 


― Jacques-Yves Cousteau

“Destruction is a man's will,Nevertheless Prevention is also a man's will,Its a man's choice to choose between Destruction and Prevention. :)” 

― Babu Rajan

   

        The health effects of air pollution imperil human lives. This fact is well-documented

 Eddie Bernice Johnson

Have we failed to slow global warming pollution in part because climate and environmental activists have been too polite and well behaved?

Jeff Goodell

Nature is a blessing from the Almighty . Our job is to protect it . Promise yourself that you will try your level best to keep the beautiful world alive , Don't fake that promise or you will give an unimaginable horror to the future generations .  

Happy world environment day .

" Faces of the unknown ( Colour ) "

We live in a world of 7 billion and we all have faces , the faces of our own and There is a story behind every face , a sadness beneath every smile , hope behind every emotion and I always try my best to find these hidden stories, sadness and emotions behind every face i capture , not just with my camera , with my heart as well . Everywhere i go i see faces , the faces that i have never seen before are probably the faces i will never forget .  Their faces tells me something , i see something through their eyes and i don't have words to describe that feeling . 

When i see my face in the mirror , i see different faces of the same person and that person is me . It may sound funny but i actually can't remember my own face . I carry many faces with me . The people i  photographed  , the people i have only seen once . I try find my self in these faces because i am lost , lost in the pain deep down me . I am really close to the children's faces . Sometimes you can see the world in a child's eye . They have the ability to smile while in the darkest moment of their lives and i believe we can't keep our tears away in the happiest moments of our lives .  " Life is not a math that can be solved by theories " Its a short time , we should be happy with what we have and work hard for what we want . These children's can teach us how to be happy with a little .

A young boy i found beside a local car store .

What are you doing here ? 

- I am working 

Do you go to school ? 

- No 

Do you want to go there ? 

- Yes

He was playing in the field , he saw me with my camera and posed for a photograph .

They were playing a game of their own , i don't what they call that game . 

He says " I rock "  

"That's how big your heart is "

They were sitting beside a traditional " mejhban " gate , waiting for some food .

For you , for them

Some kids having their long awaited " Mejhban food '. Tradition is not only for the rich or poor , its about sharing your happiness and sorrow with everyone .

My precious

Found these three little ladies in a village called " Ghobindor Khill "here in chittagong , just beside my grand father's Mansion . I photographed all of them . One thing i noticed about them is they never stop smiling ., A priceless , everlasting smile. Hope we will meet again . I never forget them even if we don't 

The brightest smile 

The face i never seen before is probably the face i will never forget

I will remember you 

I met her twice . First day she ran away from me . The next day she came to me and asked to take a photo of her . Maybe she will forget my camera and me but i will always remember her .

 

There is something in her smile , Something mysterious .

Don't just smile , Laugh and don't just laugh , laugh out loud !  

Thanks for the smile dear !

Can I take your Photo ? 

No

What's your name ? 

I wont tell but you can take my photo 

A smile brighter than sun

Hi what's your name ?

My name is " hihihi " —

Brothers under the sun .

 They were walking around , trying to find a tree to rescue themselves from the unbearable heat , i found them on the  way and realized their innocents will never talk to you .  

Smile for the moment . 

Found this little boy beside a local slum a year ago and i have never see a smile as great as this . 

Found this guy around my house riding his cycle . 

Don't hide your face from the sunlight , let it warm your soul up !

Why don't you like me ? 

Because you are weird . 

Cycle Boys 

Another biker who lives around my house , he saw me with my camera and asked me for a photograph . 

Smile a little , just a little 

I had to walk to reach the 15 th floor because the elevator wasn't working . I found this little lady on my way and i  took her photograph 

My eyes , your eyes 

He wasn't allowed to play with his friends and he was sitting beside the field alone . He didn't mind my company 

2 of them 

These two young ladies goes to a school just beside the one i used to go to . I found them and i guess one of them didn't like me at all . 

In the end of the day the journey is more important than the end or the start . Life is a journey , maybe a short one or maybe a long one but we gotta make use of the little time we have in our hands . Work hard , live hard , pray as much as you can and keep smiling .

Dear Mother

 Dear Mother - Rizvee Imran 

 

 The times when i made mistakes . 

I never said i am sorry . 

I don't listen to your words 

I  always did  the opposite .

 I have never been the perfect child . 

Might be the worst of them all .

I never saw carefully what you did for me . 

Maybe i am blind or maybe i am a deaf . 

When i was sick

When i was sad 

When i needed help 

You were there silently 

But i wasn't in the senses to see what you have done for me 

I always complain .

I always argue . 

But i never said i am sorry 

I have never been a perfect child , i am worst of them all .  

 

All that I am, or hope to be, I owe to my angel mother.

Abraham Lincoln

 

I remember my mother's prayers and they have always followed me. They have clung to me all my life.

Thanks to all the mothers in the world .

Light up the Darkness ( Part 2 )

 

Life itself is a great noble . Life gives us joy , it gives us hope  , it gives us dreams and this same life breaks our heart , it breaks our dreams , it breaks our strength . We always try our best to hold on to something we love from the heart  and sometimes that love becomes a curse for us . You will feel like you are in for a long ride . You loved from the heart but in the end of the day your heart will be broken in pieces . 

 

When you dream about something . Again you dream it from the heart . You give it all you have but sometimes you don't succeed .  Your dreams are shattered and you don't dream anymore . You stay awake whole night and think what it could be . You hide yourself from the people and start crying . A lonely cry , silent tears come streaming down your face . You will feel like you have lost everything and there is no replacement for it . Could it be worse ? 

 

It is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light.

Aristotle Onassis

 

Every man must decide whether he will walk in the light of creative altruism or in the darkness of destructive selfishness.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

 

To love beauty is to see light.

Victor Hugo

Every man must decide whether he will walk in the light of creative altruism or in the darkness of destructive selfishness.

What light is to the eyes - what air is to the lungs - what love is to the heart, liberty is to the soul of man.

Robert Green Ingersoll

Its all a part of your life . You gotta learn from your mistakes and go forward . Search for light , search for a new destination , search for a new hope , search for new dreams . Lights will guide you and you will start living again . That's how life goes . Keep the pain inside , use it as a fuel . In the future you can remember all your sorrow from the past and let go of deeper pain .  

I am still walking around this lonely corridors  .  I am playing the game of light and dark . I am trying to find the answers through my photographs , through the words i am sharing with you . Went through partners , they left me alone when i needed them most . Now i don't search for love or friendship anymore . I am searching for myself . Deep inside i am a broken in to pieces but i am strong enough to carry a broken heart and many shattered dreams in this game of Light and dark .
