Life History of Siddiqure Rahman
Prologue:
When we think of golf in Bangladesh, the name of Siddiqur Rahman, a prominent golf star of Bangladesh, is pronounced first of all. Siddiqur Rahman had passed his boyhood days through severe hardship. He had a childhood life of struggle and spent his days in utmost misery. Golf in Bangladesh is a game totally for the privileged quarter but glory of Siddikur Rahman can only be termed as a fairy tale. Proving him as was not just a one-match wonder. He had to work extremely hard to climb out of the poverty of his birthplace, Dhamalcoat, a slum-like area in the capital city. He is making a name for himself and for his country on a global stage. It can indeed be termed as a fairytale that a boy from Madaripur, despite all the adversity, took up the challenge to make his mark in the golfing map. Siddikur’s achievements have also opened the door for the next generation of golfers, who will surely be inspired by his achievements.
Birth and Childhood:
Siddiqur Rahman is one of the most promising golf stars in Bangladash as well as in the asian nations. He was born in the district of Madaripur on the 20th November, 1984. His full name is Mohammad Siddiqur Rahman. He is also known as Siddiqur or Siddik. His father’s name is Mohammad Afjal Hosain and his mother’s name is Monoara Begum. He was passing his life through extreme poverty from his childhood. After the independence of Bangladesh, his father Afjal Hosain sifted his family from Madaripur to Dhamalkota, a nearest town of Dhaka, to get rid of the curse of poverty. There they lived in a slum area. Siddik is the third among his four brothers. In 1994 when Siddiqur was in class three in a primary school started his golf club days as a ball boy to help his father, a taxi driver, and to support his study. Next he became one of the junior caddies who carried bags for the members of the Kurmitola Golf Club (KGC) and earned only 30 taka a day.

    Muhammad was historically significant in many ways. “...Muhammad, was born in the bustling city of Makkah around A.D. 570.” (pg 271).

    After reading Night Hoops, I have developed a new mindset on how I should pursue my goals no matter what impediments obstruct my ability to reach them. Nick, the protagonist, always dreamt of earning his spot on his high school’s varsity basketball team, but his road to the team was filled with family troubles; being overshadowed by his older brother, Scott; and run-ins with Trent, the local bully. However, Nick persevered through it all and accomplished his goal of making the varsity basketball team. Over the past few years, I have been extremely dedicated to becoming the best golfer I can be. However recently, I have lost my enthusiasm for the game. Because of this, I feel like I can relate to Nick and although he is a fictional character, use him as inspiration to rededicate myself to the game of golf.…

    My response to the poem Sarah Cleghorn’s “the golf links lie so near the mill” is that even thou people can play they can’t always do so. Even if it is so close that they can feel it. In most of our lives there are things we want to do but can’t due to restrictions. Either our job takes up our lives or we don’t have jobs. Sure it is always there that we could say today I’m going to play versus work but what would the consequences be. That the rich…

    The rate at which our world is deteriorating is quite frightening. Therefore, the notion of the human race having to settle a new world is not all that crazy. If I was to be one of the first pioneers of the newest frontier, I would have a difficult time deciding who I would choose to settle with me. For instance, to satisfy my own happiness, I would hastily assemble a group based upon my own emotions. But, to better the world and ensure future generations' self-sufficiency, I would ultimately choose to convene a sophisticated, qualified unit composed of a peaceful leader, a gifted doctor, and a brilliant environmentalist.…

    The poem “bradman’s last inning” written by John Foulcher shows many readers that we are often prone to failure and disappointment. John Foulcher shows this through the use of second person in the first line “you could have asked for better...” which is addressed directly at Bradman and suggests the affinity many people had for him. Also in the same sentence John uses an ellipses at the end of “better...” The use of the ellipses is expressing the sympathy for Bradman on his disappointment for being bowled out. Additionally John uses a list in the third stanza giving a sense of order as opposed to the chaos and confusion during the depression. Furthermore John uses personification in the last line “betrayed by your own game” suggesting the emotional involvement of Bradman, positioning him as more than just a winner but a ‘hero’ excluding the fact he was bowled for duck. John’s uses of these techniques clearly show the audience that we are all often prone to failure and…

    My shoulders blazed from the beating sun and my palms were sweaty. I walked confidently toward the green as the other athletes were waiting on me. I was playing toward what looked like an amateur's ideal score, a 45. It was the first home golf match of the year, and I could not afford to score any higher than my goal. I had to make sure my mind didn’t mess up more shots than my body.…

    Hole eight was my destination; that’s where I was to meet my team. After introductions, the horn blared and the tournament began. After three tremendous shots down the fairway, the last boy in our group, Thomas, proceeded towards the tee box. That’s when I noticed something was wrong with the way he walked. What is wrong with him? How is he going to tee off if he can’t even walk right? This was going to take forever! He finally swung and the ball flew about fifty yards in front of him. I thought to myself, “My grandma could shoot farther than that and she’s never even played golf.” This was just the start of how our day went. At every hole, the two boys and I came in close to par; while, Thomas always scored ten to fifteen strokes over par. I noticed, though, his unbridled excitement and smile never faded. Every time his ball hit the hole, his enthusiasm was uncontainable. There were high fives for everyone! Somewhere along the course, I knew that my mindset had changed. Thomas helped me realizing that there was so much more to playing the game then to just win. I aspired to always do my best and enjoy the thrill of just playing the game.…

    By the fifth hole, anger continued to steadily flow throughout my body, not giving a hoot about my round at this point, only caring about the event htat had previously took place. My father quietly pulled me aside, and pronounced, "How do you think your playing right now?" "Who care's, the tournaments over." "That's just not true, Anthony." "I brought you out here today so you could have fun and experience your first competition, I don't care if you end up with one-thousand strokes. All I care about is if you have fun and leave all of your effort on the golf course." "I see." "Okay, now come on, let's play some golf and have fun." After making my first par on hole six. I continued to stay level headed even if I did end up making a triple bogey on seven."…

    In the vast expanse of the great nature, the intense flow of the stream of time was coursing with unflagging resolve. That witness-star twinkling in the sky, was sometimes watching the learned master of yogic knowledge, yogi Śiva, immersed in meditation at the peak of Mount Kailaśa, and then at times, the lord of the night, the moon, who too was appearing before that star in the form of Śiva only. Having taken a vow to remain digambara, this supreme eternal light alike Brahman Śiva had again this moment, half opened his eyes. This contemplative seer who ponders over the Vedas had smiled in such manner, as though the thought of spreading all branches of Vedic teachings and of illuminating each and every one with his brilliance had descended…
