About mental health

Mental problems like depression, emotional breakdowns, and anxiety issues are the most dangerous and rapidly spreading diseases in this century and especially for the younger generation. In my opinion, social media and the latest trends are responsible for these issues. Social life is so stressful and full of pressure these days that a common person especially from the middle class feels inferior. This becomes worse someone is in an extreme depressive state.

Bangladesh in Test cricket

Although the Test format is considered the standard of international cricket, Bangladesh has not been able to achieve this criterion of cricket at the expected level in the last 21 years. The cricketing statistics of wins and losses in a total of 121 matches both at home and abroad in the elite arena of Tests, is not at all promising or pleasant for the country.
At the end of the day, cricket is a team-bound game. Therefore, in order to win, the relevance of playing with three different teams of professional cricketers in three formats of cricket might be thought. Above all, the board, selectors, team management, and coaches – all have to make the right decision in a cricket-friendly manner to uplift the image of Test cricket of the country.

Polythene abuse

Polythene is one of the main causes of environmental pollution. It is a product that does not mix with soil even after 500 years. Today, Polythene is poisoning rivers, canals, seas and oceans day after day.
The use of eco-friendly jute should be increased and people should be encouraged not to use polythene. Considering the overall situation, the Polythene Prohibition Act must be implemented in no time.
