Unveil the power of truth
Feeda Hasan
Shahed
It was an afternoon which was as ordinary as a regular afternoon. But little did I realize that it would soon turn
out to be an extraordinary one followed by an enthralling evening am talking of 30th April, Monday, when
I went to TSC just for a normal visit only to discover that a mega event was about to start. While I was entering the auditorium
being fully blank about the proceedings, I was wondering what might be there so special regarding such a colorful arrangement!
I soon found out. It was 'The Daily Star 4th Inter Hall English Debate Championship' and the 2nd Inter-University Public Speaking
Championship '07 to be held one after the other. What an occasion for me! I have loved debating since my childhood despite
not being a debater myself. I enjoy all sorts of persuasive speaking that take place anywhere be in adda, seminar, TV whatever.
So it was to my great interest that I just decided to stay till the end and watch the battle of minds by youngsters of the
nation. The Daily Star Reported.....

Muhammad Shafaq
Hussain
Debating is a process of gaining knowledge and confidence. Although I'm not
a member of any debate clubs, I used to participate in my school. March 1st to 3rd 2007 gave me a lot of experience and generated
more interest about debates. I was invited as an adjudicator for the 3rd BDC (Bangladesh Debate Council) Pre-world School
Debating Championship 07. It was a real challenge for me and I learned a lot of new things. It was a great opportunity to
gain experience and meet new people. I really enjoyed those 3 days and they will be etched in my memory forever. I'd like
to thank Azim Bhai for inviting me and encouraging me to participate in the debating program. I would also like to thank BDC.

'Here, Sir/Madam MP, take this DVD and see
it with your wife/husband tonight, as you relax before the television. The contents might just entertain you!' With these
words, the TIB volunteer left a CD with 10 of the prominent parliamentarians of the country. Five of the CD's were stacked
away as rubbish for it did not contain names of any well-known movie or film actors-actresses. Of the remaining five, two
left it near the computer to be viewed at some later time, while three decided to view it out of pure inquisitiveness. Fortunately,
these MPs and their spouse were few of those who did not have anything else to do that night. The EWUDC Reported............

Debating: Battle of the minds
Debating is considered a battle of the minds. But it's a healthy battle, a healthy competition
that helps develop the mental faculties like quick thinking, ability to reason and face the audience with courage. It is encouraging
to note that most of the educational institutes of the country are extending full support to the students and faculty members
in their efforts to popularise debating as an extra-curricular activity. However the academic institutes where debating is
given full support include: Dhaka University, Chittagong University, Jahangirnagar University, Sylhet University of Science
and Technology, Rajshahi University, Sylhet International University, North South University, Holy Cross College, Independent
University of Bangladesh, AIUB, UIU, Stamford University, People University, South Asian University, State University, Islamic
University Kushtia, Mymensingh Debate Federation, Pabna Debate Federation, Drishti, Global Village Rangamati. The Daily Star Reported......

IBA takes debating to soaring heights!
Nabila Amin
It was a moment of truth, a time to both rejoice in the triumph of success
as well as to face the harsh reality, an instant that was to change some people's lives forever. Amidst hundreds of throbbing
hearts and an intense atmosphere of anticipation that grasped the entire hall room, the verdict began “… and the
winner of the IBA National English Debate Championship 2006 is…”. “IBA”, roared the crowd in strong
support. Well, both the letters 'I' and 'B' certainly matched except that a 'U' had to come in between. The story of 42 young
aspiring individuals finally came to an exhilarating end when it was unveiled on September 18 at Radisson Water Garden Hotel
that Independent University of Bangladesh (IUB) emerged triumphant in the event. The Daily Star Reported........
More than a dream
Azim Ahmed
Well…most of the people born
under the sign. I was born were all remarkably great writers, but something must have gone wrong in the orbit when I was born,
cause I am completely opposite to it. Comparing to writing, I am moderately better speaker and some times my writing sounds
like lyric without music. And no wonder my fingers got wired up on the keyboard at the moment. The Daily Star Reported........
