WIRED

Chicken fry on my mind

Cat ❤ Chicken

Some stories begin with a “He looked at the distant shore and a seagull appeared” while some start with “I walk an empty street on the boulevard of broken dreams”. This story, however, does not start with either of the sentences.

Living with less

Living with less

Although I was sort of familiar with the word “minimalism”, it wasn't until I saw a video of a woman living out of a sleeping bag that I got intrigued by the idea of a minimalistic life.

I still had so much love to offer you when you left. I wanted to give you it all, let you build snow globes with it—but you left earlier than I thought you would.

just another coin collecting bird game

SHOUT, DON'T TAP

Chicken Scream is pretty much like every runner game - you have to make a chicken run, jump, collect some coins in the process and avoid several hurdles to keep it alive.

UNIQUE CLUBS IN SCHOOLS

Besides nice kebabs and somewhat sweet sandwiches, the one other thing that convinced me not to jump out of windows back in school was the free period on Thursdays assigned for club activities.

Surviving First Semester in an Engineering School

If you have already considered pursuing a career in engineering, I'm guessing you are either entirely bonkers, or you are really proud of the way your mother says “Amar meye engineer hobe!” to the auntie next door, or you're genuinely interested in a career that lets you make and break things from scratch.

HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON IN DHAKA

HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON IN DHAKA

There's something extraordinary about sunny winter afternoons. It's a rare combination and people don't get to experience it too often anymore.

horribly funny

Humour done right

In a year like 2016, when I need my personal dosage of Tina Fey more than ever, what can be better than a perky, extremely original, whip-smart, and horribly funny sitcom created by her?
