TODAY IS iNTERNATIONAL MOTHER LANGUAGE DAY

INTERNATIONAL MOTHER LANGUAGE DAY-21FEBRUARY

They were our bright stars It is rare in the annals of history that a people have struggled in defence of their language, that in upholding the dignity of their mother tongue they have achieved supreme glory through martyrdom. When all those young Bengali men fell before the might of the Pakistan state on February 21, 1952, they were not only telling us that in their death lay embedded the dignity of those who would live on. They were telling us something more, which is that dying in defence of Bangla was effectively and truly a giant step toward a revival of the culture that had consistently fortified the Bengali's dealings with the rest of the world. All these decades after the supreme sacrifices of our earliest martyrs, it becomes our particular responsibility to recall the reasons for which they died, to remember that the life we collectively live today is a gift that has come down from them. And it is a gift because those martyrs first showed us the path to struggle, the road we needed to take if we were to thrive in freedom and dignity as a society, indeed as a nation. Ekushey 1952 was a pointer to the tortuous road which lay before us. It was also, in that expansive sense of the meaning, a pointing out, through the light of the stars, to the gleaming history which beckoned us. In short, Ekushey would broaden out into a larger mapping out of experience through a concerted national struggle for autonomy. It would then take a radically new dimension through launching us all on the path to national freedom. The road from 1952 to 1971 was thus paved and smoothened by Ekushey. It is to those brave young men who died in order for us to live, back in February 1952, that we do obeisance this morning.

Birds Dead Fall From Sky -1000 More.

More than 1,000 blackbirds to die and fall from the sky over an Arkansas town.Wildlife officials are trying to determine what caused blackbirds to die and fall from the sky over an Arkansas town.

At 11:30 p.m ,Saturday,the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission said Saturday that it began receiving reports about the dead birds. Last night the birds fell over a 1-mile area of Beebe, and an aerial survey indicated that no other dead birds were found outside of that area.

Karen Rowe,commission ornithologist said the birds showed physical trauma, and she speculated that "the flock could have been hit by lightning or high-altitude hail."

The commission said that New Year's Eve revelers shooting off fireworks in the area could have startled the birds from their roost and caused them to die from stress.

Robby King, a wildlife officer for the agency, collected about 65 dead birds, which will be sent for testing to the state Livestock and Poultry Commission lab and the National Wildlife Health Center lab in Madison, Wis.

Rowe said that similar events have occurred elsewhere and that test results "usually were inconclusive." She said she doubted the birds were poisoned.

MTV Africa artist of the year selected Singer 2 Face wins

Nigerian artist rushed the stage wrapped in Nigeria's green-and-white flag, Africa's most populous nation ran away with the awards Saturday night during the MTV Africa Music Awards.

Nigerian singer 2 Face, known for his catchy, fast-paced pop song "Implication," claimed both the artist of the year and best male performer awards during the ceremony held in Nigeria's commercial capital of Lagos. He also dominated during a live performance, throwing himself into the crowd and running away from two scantily clad dancers dressed as police officers.

"One love to Nigeria," the artist said as he held the golden MTV award, to the applause of the audience. His singing often includes words in the Yoruba language, heard throughout southwestern Nigeria.

National pride ran high as rapper Banky W took to the stage carrying the country's green-and-white flag, later tossing it over his shoulder during his performance. The country's musicians fared well during the ceremony - Nigerian act P Square won for Best Group, Nigerian singer Sasha won as best female performer and Nigerian rapper Mo Cheddah won for best new artist.


Both Makeba and Kuti's names were mentioned during the ceremony, as MTV gave an award in the South African singer's memory. Rapper Chuck D of Public Enemy recognized the tradition of music being used as a weapon against injustice, drawing a cheer when mentioning Kuti. He earlier led others in a rendition of "Fight the Power," the song ending with the artists raising closed fists into the air.

"You have everything you need right here," Chuck D said. "Recognize your legends; recognize your history."

Keira Knightley want's to quit hollywood acting

Keira Knightley Hollywood actress almost gave up acting three years ago because she ‘wasn’t enjoying’ her Hollywood career.

The 25-year-old actress, who shot to fame as a teenager in the 2002 soccer movie ‘Bend It Like Beck ham’ and later in the ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’, admits she decided to turn her back on acting altogether at the age of 22.
‘I think I intended not to work again. I wasn’t enjoying what I was doing and I felt terribly guilty about that. I remember hating the idea that I was in a privileged position and could not see the point of any of it,’ she said.

‘I had worked solidly since I was 16, till 22, and I had not been on holiday in all of that time. I didn’t know if I was going to go back to acting at all. I think for a long time I thought I wouldn’t,’ she added.
