One day Joynul looked for work in his village and in the next village. But his luck did not favour him. He was angry angry with everybody. When he was back home, Nazma failed to serve his meal. That made him shout at Nazma.

"I had a severe headache and a fever," said Nazma. Joynul was trembling in anger.

"The cooking is almost done. Wash your hands and feet. I'll bring the food soon," she said.

"Soon! It will take ages!" Joynul shouted wildly.

"What do you do the whole day at home? I work and earn money to run the family. You can't even cook my meals in time!"

"I don't earn money, but I also run the family. I do all the work at home- cooking, cleaning, washing, husking, taking care of the children- everything," said Nazma. "Remember, you work for money but my work in the home can make the family stick together and make it happy. So both types of work are equally important."

Never before has Joynul thought about these things. He feels guilty. Never before has he looked at Nazma with so much admiration and gratitude.

Two sick men were given the same room in a hospital. One man could sit up in his bed. His bed was next to the room's only window. The other man spent all his time lying on his bed opposite the window. The men talked for hours almost every day. They talked about their wives and children, their homes, their jobs and almost about everything.

Every afternoon the man in the bed by the window would sit up and talk to his roommate about all the things he could see outside the window. The man on the other bed eagerly waited for this speaking and listening time. His friend's vivid descriptions of passing things seen through the window inspired him to live.

The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake. Ducks and swans played on the water, while children floated their paper boats. A wonderful view of the skyline could be seen in the distance.

The man by the window told his friend all this in detail. The listener would close his eyes and see everything in his mind's eye.

Days and weeks passed. One morning the doctor came to the room on his daily round. He found the lifeless body of the man by the window. He died peacefully in his sleep. The doctor made all the arrangements to take the body away.

The sad friend wanted to move to the empty bed next to the window. The doctor allowed him.

On his new bed the man painfully propped himself up. He was very excited. He slowly looked through the window to see the real world outside. What did he see? The window just faced a blank wall. He asked the doctor, "Doctor, I see nothing but a blank wall. How could my friend describe so many wonderful things outside the window?"

The doctor replied, "Did he? The man was completely blind!"

Begum Rokeya (1880-1932) was a famous writer and a social worker. She lived in undivided Bengal in the early 20th century. She believed that women should have the same rights and opportunities as men have in the society. So she fought for their cause throughout her life.

Begum Rokeya was born in a village called Pairabondh, Rangpur in 1880. Her father Jahiruddin Muhammad Abu Ali Haider Saber was an educated landlord. Rokeya was married to Syed Sakhawat Hussain in 1897. Her husband was the Deputy Magistrate of Bhagalpur, now a district in the Indian state of Bihar. He was very cooperative, and always encouraged Rokeya to go on with her activities.

Many upper-class Muslims of Bengal at that time learnt Arabic and Persian as a medium of education and communication. But Rokeya had great love for her mother tongue. She learnt Bangla and English from her eldest brother Ibrahim.

Jonathan Swift was born of English parents in Dublin in 1667. He was educated at Kilkenny Grammar School and Trinity College, Dublin. Between 1689 and 1699, he was more or less continuously a member of the household of his kinsman Sir William Temple, a civilized man. During these years, Swift read widely. About 1696-97, he wrote his powerful satire on corruptions in religion and learning, which were published in 1704 and reached their final form only in the fifth edition of 1710. Temple's death in 1699 left Swift without resources. In 1701, he received the degree of Doctor of Divinity from Dublin University. In March, 1726, he paid his first visit to England since 1714, bringing with him the manuscript which
he began in 1721. Swift, who is one of the greatest writers of prose, died in 1745.
