Comic Cafe
There aren't many themed restaurants in Dhaka. So positive posts about a certain Comic Cafe on FoodBank naturally spiked my interest.

UNDATEABLE
When some of my most favourite sitcoms went off the air, a friend suggested I watch “Undateable”. And after I watched the first episode of the first season, I was hooked. A multi-camera sitcom made by Adam Sztykiel, this summer filler at NBC actually is more hilarious than many of its counterparts.

The ongoing ICC Cricket World Cup has presented us with quite a few innings with very high scores. While some attribute this to the characteristics of Australia and New Zealand grounds, some think it could be due to the effect of the Twenty 20 (T20) format on the ODIs.

ENTRY 1: SHAKRAIN
Ever since I heard about Shakrain celebration, particularly the kite festival, in Old Dhaka, I've been meaning to go there. But try as I may, I missed the festival for the last two years. So I was adamant to attend Shakrain this year, celebrated on January 14. Although it is held in different parts of the Old Town, I went to Laxmibazar with a local friend. Upon arriving, I realised that I had underestimated the popularity of Shakrain; it wasn't just another festival, it was THE festival of the Old Town. My friend informed me that groups from every few buildings would raise a fund and organise a bash every year for Shakrain – Old Town style, with lights and sound systems.

Long Distance Wedding
Halfway through winter, and amongst the gazillions of weddings around, I came across one that just shows how far we've come technologically. With my cousin living abroad and having reached a “suitable” age for getting married according to Bangladeshi standards, the family decided to get him married without further delay, over Skype.

The event, which was organised by the brand, Closeup on December 27, 2014 at Bangabandhu International Conference Center in Dhaka, was more than just a concert; it was a celebration of the young and talented artists who are trying to do something new.
