On Thursday, the head of the World Meteorological Organization said, “Climate action is not a luxury but a must,” while U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres scolded world leaders over inaction on the climate. Since the climate is changing rapidly, it is terrifying. The era of global warming has ended; he era of global boiling has arrived.

Tired of civil life, we need a little break, a little peace in our lives. The nature of our country is inviting the tired soul to calm down as if spreading branches of tranquility. Being "anchored" in the harbor of nature means an undisturbed tranquility. I have long been a wanderlust, be it a famous location or an unknown village, exploring any new location always attracts me, and the fun of traveling in a group is different. Many times when friends or colleagues plan to travel, but the plan is not successful. So I once thought that if some like-minded travelers like us form a travel group, we can plan and travel at our convenient time - that's what, one day some of us sat together and thought for a long night and decided the name of a travel group that would take us to any destination of our trip. will do - and hence the name "নোঙ্গর II Nonggor Travel Express". And the idea of this wonderful name is generated from our dear admin Tareq Bhai.This is how our belo

Drink, Drugs, Over Eating... and Gambling. The Misery's Always The Same. But so is The Cause  Over the past few months we have all seen the advertisements on TV about Gambling Addiction. Just in case you haven't caught or don't know yet if you have I'll just remind you of the most infamous one. It's the one which is a sort of cheap(ish) knock-off of the first Rocky film that basically consists of the training scenes before eventually going into a freeze frame then having a voice over warning about the dangers of addiction to gambling  Yet before we go on endlessly about the dangers of addiction itself what I have always said, and will always stand by is, what causes it. First and foremost and let's be absolutely honest with ourselves for a minute now, no-one and I mean no-one in their right mind wakes up one day and decides that they ate going to ear constantly, drink themselves into oblivion or take no end of harmful substances  For example, here's a few re
