Online but unprotected: Why our kids need cyber literacy, not just internet access

22 July 2025, 16:08 PM
In many developing nations, digital access has arrived faster than digital safety. And our children are caught in the middle.

The Gentle Giants: How our fathers loved us without saying a word

15 June 2025, 10:55 AM
Bangladeshi fathers, particularly those who came of age in the ’70s, ’80s, and ’90s, weren’t built for emotional declarations.

#Perspective / The big Eid detox: Because that wasn’t just one cheat day

5 June 2025, 10:00 AM
While you should indulge because, let’s be honest, Eid is about love, family, and licking rezala off your elbow, it’s not a bad idea to also plan a bit of a comeback. A soft, digestive reboot.

Views / Crushing progress: The e-rickshaw dilemma in Dhaka

15 May 2025, 07:41 AM
In the chaos of Dhaka traffic, one vehicle has quietly taken over: the battery-powered three-wheeler, often called the ‘Tesla’, not the sleek one from Silicon Valley, but the Bangladeshi kind.

Curated Cars: The Dhaka Car Show that finally got it right

11 May 2025, 11:12 AM
May 1 and 2 gave us something rare. A proper show. Curated Cars wasn’t just another excuse to hang out and say, “Bro, my car faster.” This was for the real enthusiasts—the ones who actually know what a Jaguar S-Type is and don’t think a McLaren is just a footballer. So what did they do differently?

The Flying Slipper: A tribute to moms, discipline, and the gentle art of terror

11 May 2025, 10:12 AM
This Mother’s Day, celebrate the iconic South Asian flip-flop — more than footwear, it was a symbol of maternal authority, discipline, and reflex training, shaping generations with precision throws, psychological warfare, and unforgettable love wrapped in chappal justice.

The manly man's survival guide to Chatuchak Market, Thailand

What is it? One of the biggest marketplaces in Thailand for bargains on anything from clothes, food, pets to soap, electronics and phallic shaped toys in every imaginable colour.

How to survive the least romantic day of the year

That's right. This article contains two very difficult to digest morsels of truth. One, Chris Hemsworth was NOT in Dhaka to shoot scenes for a movie called Dhaka. Instead, he was in India which is almost like Dhaka what with all the pollution, traffic and inappropriate groping of women. Two, February 14 is quite possibly the least romantic day of the year.

What a surprise. Suzuki DOES make cars bigger than a suitcase. Except our local market barely seems to know anything about that. So we asked the dealership to send us one for a drive. They sent us two.

How to become rich from comics

My first comic book was an act of negotiation at the age of five. A distant, teenage cousin had come to live in our house and he held a copy of an Archie comic.

How I tamed an unruly, attention seeking washing machine

A washing machine is the fifth most important invention man has ever invented or stolen from an alien spaceship. Its illustriousness stems from having car, paracetamol, toilet flush and toilet hand-shower.

69 Charger from Autoworld

The second generation Dodge Charger is by far the most bad-ass car to grace the movie screen. Bullitt, Fast and the Furious, Blade and Ghost Rider all preferred the obnoxiously loud muscle car as their ride of choice.

Are you boring people to death and beyond?

Boring? You? No way. I am talking about the other person. We all know who that is. But just in case it IS you, you may not know it. This is much like being a dead zombie vampire. You may not know it until you look at your gross yet unreflecting self in the mirror. This list is just such a mirror. And it reflects if you really want to see.

While the unregistered Proton was being delivered to me for the test drive, a traffic sergeant stopped it to check for papers. I received a call because the traffic sergeant wanted to verify we were not on a joy ride.

OPPO F9

Oppo is taking style quite seriously. The F9 comes in three colours and none of them are subtle. This is a phone not suitable for spies, you cannot blend in with the crowd while calling in an airstrike. Red, blue and purple are your choices. Which is a good thing in an age of dull (or shiny) black rectangular glass blocks. Huawei did start off offering vivid, pattern-filled colours but Oppo here took it up to eleven.

How to stay married without killing yourself

I just celebrated 11 years of being married. That too, to the same woman. And this year we both remembered the day, a day late. Which is okay because now we are even. Last year, she forgot, which was hilarious for me. Earlier, I had forgotten. But this balance did not come easily. Here's what we learned over the years.
