Over time, Fatehpur Sikri gathered the reputation of a ‘ghost town’ – still waiting for its occupants, coming alive at night. Appealing, yes, but such yarns could be spun for any deserted settlement which had fallen on hard days after privileged origins. Not the Agra Fort. Here, ghosts actually made life a living hell for the inhabitants after Akbar’s entourage moved in, in the late-1560s. Or so some stories go. Was this also an overarching motivation for the exodus to Sikri, and not simply Khwaja Salim Chishti’s magnetism? Regardless, Akbar endured a strained relation with his great creation, despite its starring role at the height of Mughal might.Abu’l Fazl records that the fort was embellished by 500 buildings in the Gujarati and Bengali styles. The conquests of both these critical-but-distant provinces, however, unfolded when the imperial ‘camp’ was at Fatehpur. Even his historic triumph over the Sisodia stronghold of Chittorgarh and its uncharacteristic massacre in 1567-68 sits uneasily on the haloed emperor’s resumé. Agra had been witness to his desperate desire for male heirs. Once fulfilled, Akbar had taken the road to Sikri post-1569, only for hydrological concerns to force him out of that beloved city – hewn in his unique vision – after merely 14 years. Instead of Agra, though, the Timurid scion headed to Lahore. When he finally chose Agra again, it was as an older, wearier man in 1598. Faizi, Tansen, Birbal and Todar Mal had long departed. Of his sons, Murad died in 1599; Akbar had to suffer Daniyal’s passing too before his own demise; and Salim, the ‘gift’ of Chishti, tormented him with rebellious insubordination, eventually snatching Fazl away too.Ironic that the pre-Mughal fort here was called ‘Badalgarh’ – those clouds always hovered over Akbar at Agra, till the very end in October, 1605.AGRA FORT, AGRA, UTTAR PRADESHThought by ILF Expert Akash Chattopadhyaya

সাইফউদ্দিন ছেলেটাকে দেখলে কষ্ট লাগে। যার ওডিয়াই ব্যাটিং এভারেজ ৩৬ এর উপরে তাও লোয়ার অর্ডারে ব্যাটিং করে। যেইখানে সে বেন স্টোকসের মত ৪/৫ নম্বরে ব্যাটিং করার যোগ্যতা রাখে ইভেন সে বয়সভিত্তিক দলে ৪/৫ নম্বরেই বেশি ব্যাট করেছেন এবং সফলও। কিন্তু আমার প্রশ্ন হইলো সাইফউদ্দিনের আগে মিরাজ কেমনে ব্যাটিং অর্ডারে চান্স পায় যার এভারেজ মাত্র ১৫? মিথুন, মোসাদ্দেকের কথা আর নাই বললাম😠ভাইরে একজন বেন স্টোকস একদিনে তৈরি তাকে বানিয়ে নিতে হয়েছে তাকে সুযোগ দিতে হয়েছে।আমার মনে আছে বেন স্টোকস যখন লাস্ট বাংলাদেশে আসে ২০১৬ তে তখন তার ওডিয়াই এভারেজ ছিলো মাত্র ২৪/২৫ আর এখন তার ওডিয়াই এভারেজ ৪০ এর উপর❣️সবসময় আড়ালেই রয়ে যায় ছেলেটা
ইসলামিক পদ্ধতিতে গরু জবাইয়ের সময় গরু ব্যাথা অনুভব করে কি না এ নিয়ে একটা পরীক্ষা করা হয়েছিল।।গরু জবাইয়ের সময়ে EEG পরীক্ষা করে গরুর মস্তিষ্ক এবং ECG করে গরুর হার্ট দেখা হয়।পরীক্ষায় দেখা যায়,*জবাইয়ের প্রথম ৩সেকেন্ডে EEG গ্রাফে কোনো পরিবর্তন দেখা যায় না, অর্থাৎ গরু কোনো ব্যাথা পায় না।*পরের ৩ সেকেন্ডের EEG রেকর্ডে দেখা যায়, গরু গভীর ঘুমে আচ্ছন্ন থাকার মতো অচেতন হয়ে থাকে,শরীর হতে প্রচুর রক্ত বের হয়ে যাওয়ায় ব্রেইনে রক্ত সরবরাহ হয় না বলে এই অচেতন অবস্থা হয়।*এই প্রথম ৬ সেকেন্ড পরে EEG গ্রাফে Zero level দেখাচ্ছিলো, তার মানে গরু কোনো ব্যাথা পাচ্ছিলো না।*গরুর যে খিচুনি আমরা দেখি সেটা Spinal cord এর একটি Reflex Reaction, এটা মোটেও ব্যাথার জন্য হয় না।[এই পরীক্ষাটি করেন জার্মানির হ্যানোভার বিশ্ববিদ্যালয়েরপ্রফেসর শুলজ এবং ডক্টর হাজিম।]সুবহানাল্লাহ। 💖💖আল্লাহ রাব্বুল আল-আমীন এমন ভাবে সব কিছু সৃষ্টি করে দিয়েছেন, যা অত্যন্ত নিখুঁত। যারা ভাবেন যে পশু জবাইয়ের মাধ্যমে মুসলমানরা পশুকে কষ্ট দিচ্ছে তারা আল্লাহ রাব্বুল আল-আমীনের এই রহমতের কথা জানতে পারলে সত্যিই অবাক হবে।

Known in classical times as Ecbatana, Hamedan was one of the ancient world’s greatest cities. Pitifully little remains from antiquity, Ecbatana was the capital of Media and subsequently a summer residence of the Achaemenian kings who ruled Persia from 553 to 330 BC.About 1220, Hamedan was captured by the sweeping army of Mongol invaders. In 1386 it was sacked by Timur (Tamerlane), a Turkic conqueror, and the inhabitants massacred. It was partly restored in the 17th century and subsequently changed hands often between Iranian ruling houses and the Ottomans.🇮🇷💙#hamedan
