Both tigers and lions are angry, powerful and intelligent cats. It is very interesting to know that tigers and lions hardly live together. Tiger is heavier and larger than lion. But lion is appear to be more muscular than tiger. Though lion looks stronger than tiger, in reality tiger is more stronger. Tiger has a wider skull and can bite longer than lion. Let see some of the physical comparison between tiger and lion below.

Lion is classified as second-largest cat after tiger. Lion have powerful legs, strong jaw and long teeth. They can easily kill large animal. Lions are a good hunter. Its legs are short and very powerful. A male lion is normally 20-35% larger than females and also 50% heavier. On the other hand tigers are the heaviest cats in the wild. Male tiger can be 3.5 m long and weight up to 306 kg. A male tiger is 190-200 cm long and an average weight of 227 kg.


Because both tiger and lion are big cat, they eat a lot. An adult male lion need 15.4 lbs of food a day. They normally eat zebra, buffalo, wildebeest, gazelles etc. On the other hand an adult male tiger need around 16 lbs of food a day. Tiger hunt deer, buffalo and wild pigs. They also hunt fish, monkeys, birds, reptiles and baby elephants. Tiger occasionally kill other tigers too.

A female lion give birth up to 4 baby at one time. They nurse their cubs for 6-7 months. A female tiger give birth to 2-4 cubs. Tiger cubs lives with their mother up to 2 years and then leave for their own territories.

Both lion and tiger use amazing speed when fight. Tiger is faster and accurate than lion. When both tiger and lion fight, it is the tiger who wins about 90% of the time.

My Home Town

Dhaka is my home town. It is the capital and largest city in Bangladesh. It is located in the great deltaic region of the Ganges and Brahamaputra rivers. Dhaka was founded during the 12th century. Many believe that the name of the city was derived after the establishment of the Goddes Dakeshwaris temple by RajaBalal Sen. The area of the Dhaka is 414 sq.km. and the total estimated populationare 8.5 million. The city is within the monsoon climate zone. Dhaka is located in one of the world's leading rice-and jute- growing regions. Its industries include textiles (jute, muslin, cotton) and food processing, especially rice milling. A variety of other consumer goods are also manufactured here. The muslim influence is reflected in the more than 700 mosques and historic buildings found throughout the city. The University of Dhaka (1921) and several technical schools and measuam are located here. Dhaka has many adventages for higher and specialised education, employments. trade and commerce. As such, Dhaka always attracts people from other parts of the city. It is also very important city because our fight for independence start from this city. This city carries lots of memory about that fight during 1971. Our fight for independence start as early as 1952, when students from University of Dhaka fight for our language "Bengali". Many student lost their lives on that day while fighting with government. Based on this, 21st February every year is celebrate as 'International Mother Language Day'.
The city is also known as one of the mega city in the world. It is highly over crowed and pollution level is higher than most of the major cities in the world. But still our peoples are ranked happiest in the world few years ago. Those who live in this city are very friendly and social. We participate all major celebrations. I personally welcome you all to visit my lovely city.

09-09-09-The Special Day

'09-09-09' peoples thinks this is a magical word and wish to see something happen good. Though technically there's nothing special about the date, some concern with the history and meaning of such combination. They even explaining the number as a very powerful one. Number 9 is treated differently in different culture. In china number 9 is a symbol of luck, on the other hand Japan see the dates as danger. In china number 9 associated with forgiveness, compassion and success on the positive side and arrogance and self-righteousness on the negative side. Whereas in Japan 9 stand for suffering, so they consider the number is unlucky. But for me there is no speciallity for this date or day. The day is almost simillar to my any other days. I waked up early to make food for my husband and went to school. When the class finished, I came back to my house then I did some usual work I do everyday. It was a usual day like any the other days. I wish the day bring good luck to me and to all my friends, my classmates, my teachers and everyone.

Holiday - in National Park

We were planning for a while to go to the Royal National Park – Sydney for a barbecue party. At last on a lovely Saturday we headed towards the park. We were around 15 members in the team with 5 private cars. The place is not far from our house. It took us only 30 min to reach the spot. We prepare our food the night before for the barbecue. We reached there at 10 am and found out a nice place for barbecue. Some of us start cleaning the oven, some went to see around and some of us start playing. It took one and half hour to prepare the barbecue.

Once the food was ready we all sat together and start eating. The time was very funny, some of us share jokes. After we finished our food we start cleaning the place. There was another group waiting for to cook, so we had to be hurry. We packed all our remaining stuff and left those in the car. Afterward we went to the beach. There was a nice water fall too. Some of us swim in the bay. I could not do that because I didn’t take extra cloths. We took lots of photo. There was a medium size hills on the other side of the beach. Two of our friend jump from the hill to water. It was scary but so much fun. At last we return back home in the late afternoon.

The Diary

To day I am going to write about one of my favorite belonging, and it is very important to me because my husband gift it to me. Before got married, when we met for the first time, we spent an hour together in a park. He gave me the gift before leaving. Hence I did not have enough time to open it till i reached home. Then I opened the gift and there was a lovely diary with a pen . when I opened the diary I found a note written on the first page -

''How wonderful my life will be if you hold my hands and touch my heart. Lets start our journey together''.

That was the first day when I started written the diary. I don't write everything on the diary like other people do. I don't want to write all my daily gossip over there. I write only the specific and special events or thought about my husband and myself. It is a symbol of love and I only share with my husband about those writing.

My First Day at Australia

The day I arrived in Australia was on 19 January 2009, with my husband. It was a lovely day. We arrived in the morning around 11am. It was a mix feeling for me. Perhaps this was the first international visit for me. Even though I was feeling home-sick and feeling for those I left behind, I was happy to be with my husband. We were very tried after a long journey. It took us 18 hours including 7 hours transit in Bangkok. But once we landed on Sydney Airport, I was surprised to see such a beautiful country with every thing so arranged and clean. Since we don't have any relatives, no one came to welcome us in the airport. we hire a taxi and reached home soon. We had shower and my husband took me to an Indian restaurant for launch. The food was quite similar to our local food. I couldn't eat much. Once we finish we went to wash our car. This was the first time I wash a car. It's imagine but very hard work. We had rest after that. In the afternoon my husband suggest that we should clean our house quickly. We tried to do it as early as possible since we had a dinner with my husband's friend. We came back home late night and went to bed.

This was a wonderful but mix feeling for me in Australia. In one hand I was happy to be with my husband - a new life, but on the other hand I was homesick for my family, relatives whom I left behind. Before I landed in the airport I was hoping that If I could go back home! It was really hard to adjust myself with a new environment without any relatives. The situation got worst once my husband joined his work after few days. I was left alone at home nothing much to do. But eventually I learned how to adjust. And after all those month in Australia I must say Australia is a very good country to live and with all those friendly people, it should not take long to get used to here.
