No laptop. No WiFi. Just clouds, hills and the endless sky. Born and raised in Rangamati - one of the hill tracts of Bangladesh - a Pahari guy through and through. But this… this is Bandarban, one of the three hill districts. And I’d travel that distance a thousand times over

Unrestricted Warfare: WWI (Part 21/30) By 1917, Germany was cornered. British blockades starved its people. The war dragged on with no end in sight. So Germany made a brutal choice: unrestricted submarine warfare. Every ship, "military or civilian" was a target. No warnings.

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday a ceasefire between Israel and Iran was now in place and asked both countries not to violate it, only hours after Iran launched waves of missiles, which Israel's ambulance service said killed four people.

Sometimes setbacks are just God's way of grounding you - a quiet reminder to stay humble and rooted. I’m listening. I’m learning and .... I’m humbled.

The Hundred Days Offensive: WWI (Part 24/30) By mid 1918, the tide had turned. Germany’s spring offensives had failed. Now the Allies struck back with speed, coordination and fresh American troops. From Amiens to the Hindenburg Line, they pushed hard. Each day, another blow.

Armistice Day: WWI (Part 26/30) November 11, 1918. At exactly 11 a.m., the guns fell silent across the Western Front. After over 1500 days of thunder and blood, peace came in a single minute. But it wasn’t joy that filled the trenches. It was disbelief. Some soldiers cheered.
