To prevent dengue in your home

-



Preventing dengue in a home involves a combination of proactive measures. Here's what you can do:


Eliminate Breeding Sites: Regularly check your surroundings for any stagnant water in containers, flower pots, discarded tires, and other items that can collect water. Empty, cover, or dispose of these to prevent mosquitoes from breeding.

Use Mosquito Nets: Ensure that windows and doors have screens or mosquito nets to keep mosquitoes out. Sleep under a mosquito net to prevent bites, especially during daytime when dengue mosquitoes are active.

Use Repellents: Apply mosquito repellents on exposed skin and clothing. Use repellent sprays in living areas, and plug-in mosquito repellent devices.

Wear Protective Clothing: When outdoors, wear long-sleeved shirts, long pants, socks, and shoes to minimize exposed skin.

Keep the Environment Clean: Regularly clean and maintain your surroundings. Trim overgrown vegetation and keep grass short to reduce hiding spots for mosquitoes.

Cover Water Storage: If you have water storage containers, ensure they are properly covered to prevent mosquitoes from accessing the water.

Educate Others: Spread awareness about dengue prevention in your community. Encourage your neighbors to follow similar practices.

Proper Waste Disposal: Dispose of garbage properly and in sealed containers to prevent the accumulation of water and potential mosquito breeding.

Community Efforts: Work together with your neighbors and community to address breeding sites and maintain a clean environment collectively. Continuously monitor your home and surroundings for potential breeding sites. Be vigilant, especially during the rainy season when dengue risk increases.

Remember, a collective effort is crucial in preventing dengue. By taking these steps, you can significantly reduce the risk of dengue transmission in your home and community.

Masud Rana is a true legend in Bangladeshi literature. It's more than just a book series; it's a cultural phenomenon woven into the fabric of our storytelling tradition. Imagine a figure stepping right out of the pages of a thrilling international adventure – that's Masud Rana. Born from the creative mind of the esteemed Kazi Anwar Hossain back in '66, he wasn't just a carbon copy of James Bond, though the inspiration is clear. Instead, Hossain Sahib crafted a hero who, while navigating the shadowy world of espionage, carried a distinct Bangladeshi spirit. He's our own sophisticated, resourceful agent, operating under the watchful eye of Major General Rahat Khan for the Bangladesh Counter Intelligence. Think of the sheer escapism these books offered – a blend of pulse-pounding spycraft, daring adventures in exotic locales, and intricate mysteries that kept readers on the edge of their seats. It wasn't just about the thrills, though. Masud Rana, in his own ...

Cold Mountain by Charles Frazier

 Today I am writing about one of my favourite novel "Cold Mountain" by Charles Frazier. This is a gripping historical novel set during the American Civil War. The story follows the journeys of two central characters, Inman and Ada, as they navigate the harsh realities of war and seek to reunite in the remote and treacherous landscape of Cold Mountain, North Carolina. Frazier skillfully weaves together multiple narrative threads, including Inman's harrowing experiences during the war and Ada's struggle to survive on her own in a war-torn landscape. The characters are well-developed, and their growth throughout the novel is both moving and believable. The novel explores themes of love, loss, and the human spirit's resilience in the face of adversity. Frazier's portrayal of the Civil War's brutality and its impact on individuals is both haunting and thought-provoking. Inman, a wounded Confederate soldier, becomes disillusioned with the brutality of war and de...

Syed Mujtaba Ali

  I once read that at a gathering, a journalist had asked Syed Mujtaba Ali, upon seeing him drink alcohol, 'What will the young generation learn from seeing you drink?' In response, Syed Mujtaba Ali, taking a sip from his glass, said, 'Tell your young generation that before drinking, I had mastered 23 languages of the world.' There's another interesting anecdote about him! Syed Mujtaba Ali was a very famous writer at the time. Every day, admirers would come to his house to see him. One day, an admirer asked Mujtaba Ali how he wrote his books. No matter how much Mujtaba Ali tried to avoid the question, the admirer persisted. Finally, instead of answering directly, Mujtaba Ali said, 'Look, the Swiss psychologist Carl Gustav Jung once wrote in his diary that some people ask me how I write. I have to say one thing about this, if someone wants, we can show them our children, but we cannot show them the process of creating children.' This man was full of such humo...
