maudit, the Fre

 As for the poète maudit, the French writer Barbey d’Aurevilly put it best: “There remains no choice for him but that between the muzzle of a pistol or the foot of the cross.” Redemption or extinction, Being or Nothingness: if the former is only afforded to a privileged elect, then one must recall that “the pistol” also offers itself in many guises. Silence is one path, even if it’s spent running guns in Ethiopia, as Rimbaud did. Baudelaire chose a less dignified option, his inspiration snuffed out under the cumulative weight of cynicism, rage, and syphilis. Or there is Hart Crane, who, along w

 “[I]f Poetry comes not as naturally as the Leaves to a tree it had better not come at all,” proposed John Keats in an 1818 letter, at the age of 22. This could be called romantic in sentiment, lowercase r, meaning fanciful, impractical, unachievably ambitious. But Keats’s axiom could also be taken as a one-sentence distillation of British Romanticism—with its all-or-nothing stance on the spontaneity of the highest art, its conviction of the sympathetic connections between nature’s organic growth and human creativity, and its passion for individual imagination as an originating force. This period is generally mapped from the first political and poetic tremors of the 1780s to the 1832 Reform Act. No major period in English-language literary history is shorter than that half-century of the Romantic era, but few other eras have ever proved as consequential. R

I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud BY WILLIAM WORDSWORTH

 I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud 

BY WILLIAM WORDSWORTH

I wandered lonely as a cloud

That floats on high o'er vales and hills,

When all at once I saw a crowd,

A host, of golden daffodils;

Beside the lake, beneath the trees,

Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Continuous as the stars that shine

And twinkle on the milky way,

They stretched in never-ending line

Along the margin of a bay:

Ten thousand saw I at a glance,

Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

The waves beside them danced; but they

Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:

A poet could not but be gay,

In such a jocund company:

I gazed—and gazed—but little thought

What wealth the show to me had brought:

For oft, when on my couch I lie

In vacant or in pensive mood,

They flash upon that inward eye

Which is the bliss of solitude;

And then my heart with pleasure fills,

And dances with the daffodils.

ঠিকানা খুঁজে দেওয়ার ব্যবসায় ‘বাড়িকই’

 যেকোনো জায়গা চিনতে আমরা হরহামেশা গুগলের মানচিত্র বা ম্যাপ ব্যবহার করি। তবে অনেক সময় গুগল ম্যাপে চাহিদা অনুসারে পর্যাপ্ত তথ্য পাওয়া যায় না। আবার বাণিজ্যিক উদ্দেশ্যে গুগল ম্যাপ ব্যবহারের খরচও অনেক বেশি। এ সমস্যার সমাধান এনেছে ‘বাড়িকই’ নামের দেশীয় একটি স্টার্টআপ।

গ্রাহকের চাহিদা অনুসারে বাণিজ্যিকভাবে ম্যাপসেবা দেয় ‘বাড়িকই’। যেকোনো বাসা, দোকান বা প্রতিষ্ঠানের হোল্ডিং ঠিকানা, লাইভ লোকেশন, প্রতিষ্ঠানের ধরন প্রভৃতি তথ্য সরবরাহ করে তারা। আর এ সেবা নেয় ই–কমার্স প্ল্যাটফর্ম, সরবরাহ খাত, ব্যাংকসহ সরকারি–বেসরকারি ৬০টির বেশি প্রতিষ্ঠান। ম্যাপসেবা দিয়ে স্টার্টআপটি বছরে প্রায় আড়াই কোটি টাকা আয় করছে।

‘বাড়িকই’–এর দুই সহপ্রতিষ্ঠাতা হলেন মো. আল আমিন সরকার ও সাদমান সাকিব। দুজনেই নর্থ-সাউথ বিশ্ববিদ্যালয় থেকে কম্পিউটার সায়েন্সে পড়াশোনা করেছেন। নিজেদের কাজ সম্পর্কে আল
