Abulkasham M Yousuf

"We see a dream; we work for a dream; one day, and we will make it happen”.

- Many famous and influential people have not enjoyed immediate success in their lives. For example, Albert Einstein, one of the world’s greatest scientists of all time, performed badly in almost all of his high school courses and failed his college entrance exam. My name is Abulkasham M Yousuf, and my ambition is to become a writer and financial adviser. Therefore, MBA from Franklin University could guide me to my success and dream -

Independence DayBy Abulkasham M Yousuf

Instructor: Robert Loss, English 210.

 

December 15, 1971: What’s warned was doomed: A bullet busted and muted my uncle’s heart, A somber mood crossed into the family. An obituary wasn’t published in the newspaper, A prayer had been prayed on the college ground.   He had a job, which had been lost because of the war. He was desperate to have freedom for his family, He didn’t have the courage to fight the enemy. He provided settlers, foods, and intelligences to the freedom fighters, and Hoping to have a better life for his family was the only wishes he had.  What’s earned was freedom: December 16, 1971. The independence of Bangladesh had just been announced, Hair, bones, and empty bullet shells were all over the ground. Suddenly, the hopes of my uncle were lost,

The hopes of the nation were raised. A green and red flag was flown all over the country; Emptiness was grown all over the family. The parents of my mother lost their desire to live together,

They lost their hope to hold each other, My dream was rising like my uncle. When I was in college, I visited them several times, and I showed them the life I would have in the future, Happiness came back again like before Independence Day.

Background

When I came to the United States with my son and wife in July 1997, I had only completed practical courses in the Charted Accountant (CA). The Chartered Accountants Program in Bangladesh is like the Certified Public Accountant program in America. To become a Chartered Accountant, one must serve in a chartered firm for three years, or three and half years, depending on one’s education and one’s concentration on practical aspects of accounting. Furthermore, one must take exams to gain a license. As a CA student, I was supervised by Mr. Khundker Hahmudul Hasan FCA of K.M.Hasan & Company from October 31, 1993 to April 30, 1997 and was registered with the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Bangladesh. In addition, I have a M.Com in management. After struggling for almost two years in this modern country – it was with the language, not was with the lack of accounting skills - I decided to go back to school. Therefore, I registered in Queens College, New York, for the fall of 1999. Unfortunately, I had to drop out because my father passed away in that fall. Suddenly, the whole world broke down on my head like an earthquake. In the New York City, I was bussing tables for a few months. Later the administration promoted me to the management.

HoldBy Abulkasham M Yousuf

Instructor: Robert Loss, English 210.

My younger son, He cries and whines, When I go to work or go to walk. He wants me to hold him all the time,

He is a sweet and precious baby, Like the moon in the sky pouring the love. Always shines our life like the moonlight, He wears diapers that he never minds.

What can I do? I have to run and earn money. I have to go to hike with my bike. I’m not a machine with dashing looks.

I miss his hugs, His attachment to my love, I can’t escape. Our love and affection will never be broken, Our happiness and enjoyment will never be taken.

What else should I do? I need money, He wants love, Should I be at work? Or Should I be at home? At the same time, I can’t hold both, but I can love him all the time.

After Nine YearsBy Abulkasham Yousuf

Are you selfish, greedy or jealous? If not, you may lose human characteristic. Yes, every human has been part of healthy selfishness, healthy greediness, and a healthy jealousy, one way or the other. However, sick selfishness, sick greediness, and sick jealousy are spreading all over Bangladesh like a wild-fire. When I went to Bangladesh in 2000, it was still green all over, especially Dhaka city like an evergreen rain forest. If you born and raised in Gulshan, Badda, or Baridhara, - you know what I am taking about – It is a massive distraction of a community. In my childhood, I saw each road had a few trees and each house had a few flowers-beds to shine all year long. Nevertheless, I hardly find any trees. Most of the trees were replaced to build high-rise buildings or towers. Is this way, how we will survive in the twenty-first century? Most people of my age group who are in their thirty’s or forty’s are already getting heart disease. It is a terrifying situation for a nation, but most do not care about it. Furthermore, they do not want to know about it, how it effects their livelihoods and/or their society in a whole. Only thing they all care about “Money”. Yes, make money or die for money, it is the best deal for them and their decedent’s lives. Can money buy anything or everything? How would some honesty and honor in life?

Continued… I observed that educated people are not willing to do what they have been taught

in school, college, or university. Because of the family needs, they are trying to earn money, no question asked period. In my life, I witness that most of our older generations give respect for other older generations as their fore-fathers. As I went to Bangladesh after nine years, I found out that not only are older generations part of huge social unrest, but they are also organizing the major “Donation Gang” around their areas. As I read Mr. Salah Uddin Shoalb Choudhury’s article “Bangladesh – a nation in terror,” it reminded me that the whole country is being terrorized by the people who have been elected by the general public, most of whom are illiterate. Who are these people and who voted for them? When more and more people are becoming the slave of daily needs, they are losing moral character. Selfishness, greediness, and jealousy are progressing in their lives like isonomy in the Bay of Bangle. They are absolutely unaware of what it takes to live daily lives peacefully. People have been electing cadets of “The Arm Group” or “The Donation Gang” for the general election. Why? Therefore, crime-bosses are becoming strong and wealthy. Ethics, decency, and integrity are fleeing from Bangladesh at the speed of light.

Fall in LoveBy Abulkasham M Yousuf

Instructor: Robert Loss, English 210.

I would like to express to her my first love. I would live to reveal to her the love I have. Maybe it’s going to work, Maybe it will not work at all, I’m afraid.

“I love you,” I said to her. “Do you…?” she replied as soft as the morning breeze. She looked at me with her flashing eyes;   Her reaction was mild and strange When I responded slowly in a nervous way, “Yes…” “Really…?” she inquired with a strong voice, This time her face was as red as a gala apple,

When I looked at her one more time, I saw a rejection sign on her face, then I said to her hesitantly, “ No…” “That’s okay…” she whispered not as gentle as use to be. Her voice lost the melody,

The melody did not come back again. She holds her mouth for a few seconds, and… Said to me, “You’re a smart boy, I can see. I’m a nice looking girl, you can see. Why not say or admit firmly that you love me?”

Final Touch- As the sun starts revealing its vivid light one more

time in the east, some wild roosters begin announcing that the day has just begun, and the dusty wind blows north to south with a fishy smell and sandy taste. In addition, the trees continue dropping their yellow-reddish leaves just like rose petals on the muddy road, which looks like the red carpet for the Academy Award. A young sparrow is trying to gain self-confidence by flying persistently, and his anxiety causes his panic. Here and there, some fishermen start singing local folk songs off key before sailing their boats. St. Martin’s Island is ready to peddle its natural beauty to the outdoor lovers.

St. Martin’s Island: A Splendid Remote Beach in Bangladesh By Abulkasham M Yousuf

However, I want to go there again to enjoy its outstanding beauty one more time. The last vacation long I look in 2000. Since then, I have never been taken any long, four weeks, vacation, and I will not able to take one until 2012 because I have to finish my education probably in 2012. Therefore, I always dream about the St. Martin’s Island in Bangladesh. In Bangladesh, December is the tropical winter, which is the hybrid of both spring and autumn of the United States. When our college was closed for the Christmas holiday for the last week of December in 1989, five of my boyhood friends and I wanted to see various natural beauties and monuments of Bangladesh. Every one of us had significantly different preferences and desires, -
