For a different coffee or side table
Many of us spend hours here, flopped on cushions with a book on weekends, or whispering our woes in a friend's ear. With a steaming cup of aromatic coffee resting within easy reach, placed on none other than a favourite coffee or side table, we make the best out of our lazy Fridays.

The sisterhood of sartorial spirit!
Life, with all its twists and turns, is not easy, and looking good and feeling fabulous is not either. Knowing what works best for me is great, but sometimes too much of a good thing can be not so good.

The lobby of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) seemed to be an organised chaos - hundreds of people standing there in a serpentine queue, talking art and waiting impatiently to grab their ticket to get into the magical madness of this place. There was impatience, but no rage.

It probably will not surprise you to learn that Dhaka is now the 'fattest' city in Bangladesh. That does not mean we have wider streets but that the people walking down these streets are wider than in other cities.

Packed lunches
Although it is very tempting to have Fakhruddin's biryani or KFC’s chicken fry every day for lunch, it is surely taxing on the stomach. When any food item is deep fried, the quality of the item becomes less healthy and multiplies in caloric density. Most of the delicious food that we can ever think of either have too much oil in them or too much sugar! So, does it mean that we must have dull and drab food everyday and keep away the delicacies for special occasions? Not necessarily!
