Views / 23-min standing ovation for Hind Rajab, 28 small graves a day in Gaza

Why is making new friends more difficult as we grow older?

The game has changed, and it’s not you – it’s time. Or, more accurately, the lack of it.

‘European lives matter’: Ukraine coverage reveals Western media’s racist bias

“But this isn’t a place, with all due respect, like Iraq or Afghanistan, that has seen conflict raging for decades. This is a relatively civilized, relatively European -- I have to choose those words carefully, too -- city, one where you wouldn’t expect that, or hope that it’s going to happen.”

For Bangladesh, Kishwar has already won

Kishwar Chowdhury, the Aussie home cook of Bangladeshi origin, didn’t win the MasterChef Australia title. She placed third. But for us, Bangladeshis who have been closely following her rise and rise on arguably the most popular reality show on food, Kishwar has already won.

Wonder Woman saves DC Extended Universe

That heading is not an overstatement by any means. DC fans are still not over the disasters that were Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Suicide Squad as the onslaught of Marvel's tried and tested blockbuster formula continues.

Undo the damages of a desk-bound job

If I could, I'd take up manual labour but unfortunately, it doesn't pay well. If you're rolling your eyes, try to count the number of overweight people working on the streets you've come across.

Jump like a kid or a boxer

No, jumping rope [or skipping, as some call it] isn't only for little girls. If you've watched any movie about boxing, or have ever walked into a boxing gym, you'll know it's a staple in a boxer's conditioning programme. It's also what ended my cardio plateau.

La La Land: That Rare Musical I Didn’t Hate

I suppose that title needs clarification. I love music; I eat, breathe, sleep movies – just not characters breaking into a song and dance routine every 15/20 minutes [reason why I’m not a fan of the traditional Bollywood storytelling format]. I went to Blockbuster Cinemas at Jamuna Future Park hesitantly but with an open mind.

Opinion: Clickbait gone wrong [as it often does]

British online newspaper, The Independent, publishes article titled “The Muslim country congratulating ‘His Excellency’ Donald Trump” on November 10, 2016 referring to the letter from the Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to the US President-elect Donald Trump. This is a prime example of clickbait gone wrong. The main purpose was – in all likelihood – to come up with a sensational title that draws in readers who don’t know any better [which sadly is often the case on the internet].

Berlin – Art Paradise

Berlin – Art Paradise

Right after I arrived in Berlin, on my way to the hotel, I asked my vivacious guide NihanSivridag, “Describe Berlin in a sentence.” In response, Nihan quoted Klaus Wowereit,former Mayor of Berlin: “Berlin is poor but sexy.”[“Poor”, according to European standards, of course.] Over the next few days, I tried to understand what she meant.

Mad Max: Fury Road

If, like me, you too are over the super humans/aliens fighting epic CGI battles and need a break, “Mad Max: Fury Road” is THE movie you should watch. The last Mad Max film was released 30 years ago. For The Road Warrior's (likely) dwindling fanbase, it has been a long wait; long but rewarding.
