Curated Cars: The Dhaka Car Show that finally got it right

May 1 and 2 gave us something rare. A proper show. Curated Cars wasn’t just another excuse to hang out and say, “Bro, my car faster.” This was for the real enthusiasts—the ones who actually know what a Jaguar S-Type is and don’t think a McLaren is just a footballer. So what did they do differently?

The Flying Slipper: A tribute to moms, discipline, and the gentle art of terror

This Mother’s Day, celebrate the iconic South Asian flip-flop — more than footwear, it was a symbol of maternal authority, discipline, and reflex training, shaping generations with precision throws, psychological warfare, and unforgettable love wrapped in chappal justice.

Redmi Note 14 4G: Big battery, bright display, and bang for your buck

Let’s be real—buying a phone under BDT 25,000 these days feels like trying to get decent biryani for under 100 bucks. Expectations are high, budgets are tight, and compromises are inevitable. Enter the Xiaomi Redmi Note 14 4G, a phone that doesn’t promise the world—but gives you a pretty good piece of it anyway.

Asus Vivobook S 15: The future is snapping into place

With the Asus Vivobook S 15 in hand—one of the first Copilot+ PCs powered by this much-hyped chip—it’s time to see if the revolution lives up to the anticipation. This processor promises high-octane performance with battery life that borders on sorcery. But is it the MacBook Air-killer Windows users have been waiting for? Let’s find out.

How to smell amazing without suffocating the room

Fragrance should be subtle and intimate, not overpowering. Apply perfume to pulse points, avoid rubbing it in, and be mindful of seasonal changes. Winter’s cooler temperatures make scents last longer, but be cautious of external odours.

How to decipher seemingly innocent Bangladeshi sale posts

It is the weekend and you sit back hoping to satisfy your greedy capitalist inner demon—but within reason. (You do not want to anger the wife by buying a Honda manual transmission because, hey, it seems like a good deal even though you are driving a Nissan.

How to talk about politics without losing friends, family and job

When I was a confused high school kid, a friend's dad sat us down and told us one of those great secrets of life. He told us to avoid three topics of discussion among friends: women, religion and politics.

It's hard work being lazy

People say—and it is always people and not a lion or a cat or a cockroach that says things. People are lazy. They use words to get away without actually doing anything.

How to survive the least romantic day of the year

That's right. This article contains two very difficult to digest morsels of truth. One, Chris Hemsworth was NOT in Dhaka to shoot scenes for a movie called Dhaka. Instead, he was in India which is almost like Dhaka what with all the pollution, traffic and inappropriate groping of women. Two, February 14 is quite possibly the least romantic day of the year.

2018 Suzuki Ciaz

What a surprise. Suzuki DOES make cars bigger than a suitcase. Except our local market barely seems to know anything about that. So we asked the dealership to send us one for a drive. They sent us two.

How to become rich from comics

Are you boring people to death and beyond?

Boring? You? No way. I am talking about the other person. We all know who that is. But just in case it IS you, you may not know it. This is much like being a dead zombie vampire.

OPPO F9

Oppo is taking style quite seriously. The F9 comes in three colours and none of them are subtle. This is a phone not suitable for spies, you cannot blend in with the crowd while calling in an airstrike. Red, blue and purple are your choices. Which is a good thing in an age of dull (or shiny) black rectangular glass blocks. Huawei did start off offering vivid, pattern-filled colours but Oppo here took it up to eleven.
