Fatal Bites

It is that time of the year again- hot, sunny and humid mornings turning into showers of rain for the rest of the day. Along with that comes the swarm of mosquitoes everywhere we go while we're terrified of what one bite will do to us. One of the scariest things a mosquito can do is give us dengue fever.

SNUG AS A GUN

Is the pen mightier than the keyboard? With the increasing use of laptops and smart phones, and in the realm of 'tweeting' and instant messaging, one could think that the world might just rub the pen off its hands.

Becoming a Fellow

An integral part of the Teach For Bangladesh programme is attracting young teachers to come and teach. And it is not as easy as it might sound.

The Zoo that is Not

Raja, the 21 years old Bengal Tiger is languishing in his cage with no medical care and little food. Flies are flying in circles around the wounds on his legs, but for his weakness the old tiger appears to be quite reluctant to drive the flies away. Lolling in his cage the helpless Raja gazes indifferently at the visitors who are trying to excite him by teasing him and sometimes throwing bottles and paper at him. However, Raja, on his deathbed, has lost all interest in the ragging he has been tolerating for years.
