Crossing the Bar Poem with Bangla meaning

 Crossing the Bar 

ALFRED, LORD TENNYSON



Sunset and evening star,

      And one clear call for me!

And may there be no moaning of the bar,

      When I put out to sea,


   But such a tide as moving seems asleep,

      Too full for sound and foam,

When that which drew from out the boundless deep

      Turns again home.


   Twilight and evening bell,

      And after that the dark!

And may there be no sadness of farewell,

      When I embark;


   For tho' from out our bourne of Time and Place

      The flood may bear me far,

I hope to see my Pilot face to face

      When I have crossed the bar.

Is overpopulation a critical concern for Bangladesh?



Overpopulation is a situation where the population exceeds the capacity of the environment to provide necessary resources like food, water, and shelter, leading to resource shortages, environmental strain, and social issues. Overpopulation has become a critical concern for Bangladesh, posing significant challenges to the nation's sustainable development and overall well-being. With a population exceeding 170 million people crammed into a relatively small geographical area, Bangladesh faces one of the highest population densities in the world. This rapid population growth has strained the country’s limited resources, infrastructure, and public services, creating a host of socioeconomic issues. Overpopulation has led to increased unemployment, poverty, inadequate access to healthcare and education, and severe housing shortages, particularly in urban areas. Additionally, environmental degradation, such as deforestation and water pollution, is worsening due to the intense demand for land and resources. As the population continues to grow, the government's ability to provide basic necessities and maintain social stability is increasingly at risk. Immediate efforts to promote family planning, improve education, and manage resource distribution are essential to mitigate the long-term impacts of overpopulation on Bangladesh’s future.

How does child labour affect children world wide?



Child labor affects children worldwide in various detrimental ways that hinder their development and future prospects. Firstly, child labor deprives children of their right to education, as they are often forced to work long hours instead of attending school. For example, many children in developing countries work in agriculture or factories, which limits their access to learning opportunities. Additionally, working in hazardous conditions can lead to serious health issues, including physical injuries and long-term psychological effects. Moreover, children engaged in labor may face exploitation and abuse, which can have lasting impacts on their well-being. Consequently, these factors contribute to a cycle of poverty, as children who are denied an education are less likely to escape low-paying jobs in the future, illustrating how child labor adversely affects children on a global scale.
