Hang in there
I know it's disheartening to see your friends getting jobs while you are still receiving “Thank you for applying…” emails. I know it's a huge blow to your confidence when you can't really say that you have life figured out. I know it's difficult to bear with the uncertainty every day. But it's okay.

Go for selfies & check-ins, stay for art
Folks going to Classical Music Festival, Bengal Boi, and the recently ended Dhaka Art Summit for selfies and check-ins were a thing.

What is time?
If you're in Dhaka and you don't have the magical powers to take the wrong side of the road/shut down traffic movement, should the concept of time apply to you?

You have forsaken me
Winter brought along the cold nights where our kombols would actually see some use. We could actually wear our woollen jackets and not feel like we're in the Sahara.

Smoking kills everyone
Smoking in public is banned in Bangladesh and people caught smoking in public have to pay a fine. Despite this, people continue to smoke in public. I don't smoke but if you're willingly paying to ingest tar

Where is the Banijjo?
After spending two and a half hours commuting 6.5 kilometres, from my home to the office, to write this editorial thanks to the Dhaka International Trade Fair 2018, I have to ask how this fair is

Not your circus, not your monkey
I don't believe in New Year's resolutions. At best, they're probably half of January resolutions. But I do believe in and strongly endorse self-improvement.

2018 > 2017, please
If we're talking about events that are inevitable, let me tell you this: the year 2017 is about to be a thing of the past, and robots are no longer a subject of the future.

No longer a student
As I find myself really close to my inevitable graduation, I can't help but feel mixed emotions. Yes, I am very glad that I do not have to stay up late writing lengthy assignments, and relieved that I do not have any homework left to do.

Indomitable
The only folks I envy are those who have to commute long distances multiple times a day for work and then CHOOSE to have a social life, requiring further commutes, sitting in Dhaka traffic at various points of the day.

KNOW NOT WHAT YOU KNOW
Sometimes it's best to act as if you don't know anything.

Dusty
I remember writing about the dust problem in our city a year back. Looking back, I realise the situation hasn't improved at all. In fact, it's gotten much worse. Just the other day I saw a few workers loading shovels full of dust from a demolished building onto a

Recently, I came across several posts in my news feed about some students requiring likes on their Facebook pages to pass a course. What's worse is that a lot of these students from a leading university are even spamming groups like the WWE Bangladesh

The Art of Deflection
If you've made a boo-boo, the right thing to do is wo/man up and own up to your mistake or transgression. Take full responsibility of your actions and make honest effort to be a better person.

I've never been a fan of Dhaka's unpredictable weather. One day you're drowning in kaada paani, the next day you become 10 shades darker due to the scorching sun. It's a hate-hate relationship.

STOP TAKING KIDS TO MOVIES WITH ADULT CONTENT!
“Adult content in movies: graphic violence, profanity, overtly sexual dialogue, [nudity is on the menu too, but explicit nakedness is usually censored before movies can make it to big screens in Bangladesh].

“The Greater Good"
Growing up, a lot of us have been taught to deal with emotional trauma using the time-tested method of "ignore it till it goes away." For sexual abuse that has been the case as well, just far worse.

GHOST STORIES
While it's cool for everyone to huddle up and share ghost stories, there are some people who legit get scarred for life.

Gaming Peripherals
While it is true that skill is more important in gaming than the tools you use to wage war in the virtual realm, gaming-centric peripherals grant you the advantages that you cannot do without.

The Content Dilemma
Wherever you go nowadays, you'll see people talking about content. Digital content, social media content, everything is content now. You go to a workshop hosted by a guy you have never heard of and all he talks about is how content is king.
