I've received a request to put this on my blog. Well, its not related to statistics, but something that I cherish--adventure! Adventure, especially in natural settings in Bangladesh. Hope you will enjoy flipping through the pages.
Its my fifth year in Windsor, Ontario. This part of the world, geography does not change so frequently that you can notice. When I look back four years, I do not see much difference in the vicinity where I live than what it is now. Things change rapidly back home while time flies like a fast train here.
I believe its time to write some of my experiences about living in Windsor while studying statistics at the University of Windsor.
October 20, 2010 was celebrated as the the world Statistics Day. The celebration of the World Statistics Day acknowledged the service provided by the global statistical system at national and international level, and hope to help strengthen the awareness and trust of the public in official statistics. It serves as an advocacy tool to further support the work of statisticians across different settings, cultures, and domains.
I did not have Professor M R Bhuiyan as a teacher during my student life. He was a professor in the then Department of Statistics. Professor Bhuiyan is no more among us. He passed away on August 17, 2010. Innalillai Wa Inna Ilaihi Raaziun.
The news made me sad. I became nostalgic. I closed my eyes, and could only visualize a person walking alone slowly leaning towards the front, wearing a light-coloured shirt-- a man in his late 60s perhaps, with curly gray hair.
In the past five years of my study in Canada, I have received numerous emails from fellow students back home requesting for journal articles and other academic resources. When I get such requests, I try to act promptly with enthusiasm. Our students are brilliant and catches things very quickly. They can analyze things very critically. However, their condition is like a powerful machine without any fuel. I (and perhaps others living abroad) take my pleasure to provide them with a little bit of support whenever they need.
