Jalaja: A cosmic homage to life, creation and the supreme power

Among the countless planets and stars of the infinite universe, Earth is the only vibrant blue cradle of life, and the first and foremost condition for life is water. Modern science links the origin of life on Earth to water. Thousands of years ago, the Vedic sages likewise saw water as the primordial principle of creation. The Nasadiya Sukta of the Rigveda describes the state before creation as an infinite expanse of water shrouded in darkness. Among the five great elements (panchamahabhuta) of Sanatan thought, apa, or water, is the fundamental one, breathing life into all the rest. This year, the Gulshan-Banani Sarbojanin Puja Foundation has taken this presence of water, so deeply woven into the life and culture of our verdant Bengal of rivers, rain, ponds, wetlands and sea, as the inspi...

Bangladesh tighten grip on Afghan Test after Hasan’s hat-trick

Bangladesh took the stranglehold of the one-off Test against Afghanistan on Day 3, after some individual performances lit up Sheikh Jayes Stadium of Abu Dhabi, UAE today.Hasan’s hat-trick was the most pivotal in those performances to take the side to the top before eighty plus knock from Mushfiqur Rahim and captain Najmul Hossain Shanto rounded off the day.Bangladesh ended the day with overall lead of 329, after reaching 223-6 in its second innings at stumps.Liton Das was batting on 5 with Mehidy Hasan Miraz yet to score as Bangladesh would look to have 400 plus lead next day.After bowling out Afghanistan for 240 innings, following a pace-burst from Darwin Test hero Hasan Mahmud, Bangladesh started the second innings watchfully.Tanzid Hasan Tamim who hammered 71 ball-83 in the previous innings, got a start to cherish again but failed to capitalize on it after being out for 31. His fellow opener Shadman Islam also was dismissed cheaply before Mominul Haque was out for 7 to leave Bangladesh at precarious 53-3.With Afghanistan hinting to claw back into the contest, resistance from skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto and Mushfiqur Rahim took Bangladesh in advantageous position.They combined for 159-run for the fourth wicket, with both missing out the deserved century.Mushfiqur Rahim who made a duck in the first innings, vindicated the failure with 81 off 148, an innings featuring nine fours.His dismissal ended the typical Test-like partnership, leaving Shanto to dig in deep.However, the skipper too was out for 82 after hitting five fours in 191 balls.But both of them ensured to...
