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.

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

#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.

Dhaka’s air pollution

Views / Paved paradise and put up a footpath: Why air purifiers alone won’t save Dhaka’s lungs

30 April 2025, 10:18 AM
Recently, Dhaka North City Corporation (DNCC) has announced a plan to install air purifiers in 50 spots around the city.

Why saving money from an early age could be the best gift you give your child (or yourself)

Ever caught yourself saying, “If only I had started saving earlier…”?

Walton Passion WP15703G Laptop

Finally, after using and abusing without mercy, I am writing the review of Walton's Passion WP157U3G laptop. Me and my colleague, both used it for a month or so. I focused on the aesthetics whereas he tested the performance by pushing the laptop to its limit. This is my first encounter with this locally assembled gizmo and here's my take:

LIFE HACKS

Is your information full of bull?

Have you heard of the test that found a certain type of water, that we also drink, could become radioactive in a way? It is the usual water except when heated in a microwave oven it could become a liquid capable of death and mutation. It was killing off plants. What is worse, it was proving to be an utter nuisance by not really turning anyone into a super-powered being. I have read in books how this happens all the time, in all the comic books.

TVR Collectibles

TVRs are the dragon equivalent of cars. They simply shouldn't exist because they are built around an implausible idea of fire and fantasy. And yet, TVR lived, on and off. It offered crazy designs, pointless horsepower and occasional glorious bouts of fiery display. This is the perfect manly car. So what do we have of it in scale models?

The big deal about iPhone

Every time an iPhone comes out, all the 'iDolatry' for and the 'iRe' against the brand come out for an epic battle. And in the end, people happily sell their kidneys (if they still have one left after the last phone came out) for a chance to join this seemingly exclusive club.

5 stages to traffic jam survival for non-ministers

Most of Bangladesh's cities are now suffering from acute mobility issues. Dhaka has cars and no roads. Thanks to rain, Chittagong has converted roads to waterways but with no boats. Sylhet is full of motorcycles that look like those horror scenes where a spider egg just burst.

Traffic Safety

Enemies of traffic safety: Fog lights and fancy wheels

When you get a good thing, you don’t let it go. Unless of course you instantly find a better thing. A better thing is almost always greater than a good thing. This is great advice when it comes to choosing fish at the frozen food section. A fresh fish is a good thing. A fish that smiles and waves at you is fresher, hence a better thing.

Toyota Allion scale models

The Allion and Premio are basically larger, upgraded Corollas. Owners hate that comparison but if you look under the flashy skin, it is all nearly the same.
