'Green, Green - Up, Up!’ Shouting louder than ever!

Since my childhood I have always been fascinated by the nature and its beauty and tranquillity. One of my favourite memories from childhood at Jhenidah Cadet College (JCC) campus is discovering the stunning natural surroundings. Also, be drawn to the allure of the rare sense of serenity where I could often get away from the reality. I still marvel over how I spent countless hours wandering through the bushes, fearlessly running around barefoot on the ground infested with weeds, shrubs and prickly plants, and recklessly jumped into the canal water without thinking of the consequences. It’s hard to forget - I still cherish those wonderful days. It was then I began to realise that green colour was my colour - it’s the colour of the 'Nature'.

The most remarkable thing happened afterwards. After preparing for months for the admission tests that appeared to be the most intense period of my life, I got myself admitted to JCC, and guess what; it was Badr House where I spent six years of my teenage life. Green colour symbolises the colour of Badr House. Being a campus boy, I used to wander around and frequently say ‘hello’ to the cadets and curiously followed their activities. I heard many rumours about Badr house that it was one the toughest places but to be placed in the green house was probably my destiny.

Once again, green colour was embedded in my life for next six years. We shouted and chanted 'Green, Green - Up, Up!' whenever we won any competition. In many cases, we needlessly recited the slogan but I never realised that later in my life this slogan would become the part of my entire professional career. Now, I shout louder than ever - 'Green, Green – Up, Up!’ In light of these, the basic teaching of the 'Green' theme is that we all should keep the nature at the top of our agenda – ‘save the nature, save the humanity’.
