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.

Are you or a loved one a technology failure

Are you or a loved one a technology failure?

There are some of you here who are suspicious of tech without necessarily being grandparents. You look at tech as you would look at an albino cockroach. It is vaguely familiar yet you wonder, 'What if it flies? Can I handle it or will I be able to run fast enough?'

13 cup holders, 2 men and a Toyota Rush

Toyota and Daihatsu went and redesigned their aging five-door crossover into something resembling what people wanted: a not-so-mini SUV.

4 great ways to chill when you'd rather give up

Any moment now, you could be hit by a bus, and die. It seems to be the most unpopular way to say goodbye as you live and breathe in Bangladesh. Even as I type inside my room, there is a chance that a passing bus comes crashing through my wall.

Macho

How to be macho without being macho

I get asked this question many times. Correction: I got asked this question once when I grabbed a huge, menacing, barking dog and pushed him to the ground. And he whimpered and licked my hands.

iPad 2018: Should you get it or not?

Apple launched the new iPad 2018 early this year. Question is, should you get it or not? Do you really need it especially for an upgrade?

Be a social superstar by pretending to know football

You might be one of those people who know that a current football player is David Beckham. And that too because you followed Spice Girls back in school and still have a few songs stashed in your secret playlist.

Being a dad

Being a dad is harder than being a murdering, pillaging warlord

Being a dad used to be simple. You had one job to do early on and that involved something similar to that pirate movie line, 'Release the Kraken'. If you know what I mean. Nine months later you were a dad. In the meantime you were running about conquering the world, pillaging the villages and looting gold because that is how

Ogling vintage cars and food at Rot Fai Market, Bangkok

Rot Fai Market means Train Market because it is situated near the train tracks behind the famous and massive Chatuchak Market. Consider it like a museum where you get to take food and drinks inside.

How to appear charitable and cool

Charity is becoming an urban verb much like the word Google. We Google. We Uber. And in a similar vein, many of us Charity. It is such a cool thing to do. And it is such a cool tool for paving our way to social acceptance. Just like Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.

Lost in Space

Lost in Space

This phrase will soon be on T-shirts, mugs and fan art. Because Lost in Space reboot is a killer show. It features the Robinsons, a family of five who have left earth as it will soon become unliveable and is devoid of proper sunlight.

2018 BMW X3

The X3 is BMW's contender in the same class of luxury crossovers such as the Audi Q5, Porsche Macan, Jaguar F-Pace and Mercedes GLC. All of these you will see on Bangladeshi streets on a good, traffic-free day.

How to appear stinking rich and successful

Appearances can be deceiving. Which incidentally is the mantra for social media success. If your Facebook doesn't have a hundred likes on each phase of your hairstyle change, you have failed. Life is rather simple like that. That blue thumbs up is all you need to be successful. Monks, Brad Pitt and Batman have spent years meditating on mountain tops. All that work done just to attain the much desired dose of social media likes.

It's a bigger, badder version of last year's must have, must sell kidney-for-a-phone. And if you sold a kidney last year, you are out of luck trying to purchase the new S9+. It is pricier.
