Social lives you don’t see: Dhaka’s domestic workers un-filtered

Have you ever given a thought to the social life of Dhaka’s toiling masses? Our service helps, our guards, drivers, office staff, cleaners, grocer, fishmonger, and vegetable vendor -- people who make up the backbone of our household management system, and office too.

Why Bangladesh’s furniture fair is turning heads

A furniture fair is not exactly my idea of an afternoon outing. However, when my expat friend, who is returning to Dhaka to finally settle down, decided to explore the local furniture market, the ongoing five-day National Furniture Fair at the International Convention City Bashundhara (ICCB) seemed like the right choice.

Dhaka street food

In the heart of chaos, I find Dhaka’s flavour

Do you know why I will always be true to Dhaka? I admit that the metropolis is chaotic, but I do enjoy the fuss, the cacophony, and the colours in the lanes and by-lanes of this ever-changing city. Yet, it’s the food scene that I love most. I believe I know the town well enough, but every now and then, I stumble upon a hidden gem: a food corner that most people do not know of.

Kromosho exhibition: Where past and present collide

An artistic mind finds inspiration even in the mundane details of life. It makes the ordinary extraordinary. The smell of frying omelettes, the stirring sound of the spoon in a teacup, the sight of a mother oiling her daughter’s hair, or an old man reading a newspaper -- any of these can spark a fancy in their mind.

Food, Art, and Resilience: ‘Thil’ brings culture, healing to table

What is hardship food? I had no idea. The thought of what people eat during natural calamities, war, displacement and such, never came to my mind. It is something we do not think about unless we start to live in destitution.
