Lights! Camera! Action!

These terms are synonymous with the glitzy world of cinema. Whenever someone contemplates movies, they must mull over an unreal world governed by scripts, directors, actors and actresses. The celluloid world is much more than our simplistic perception; it is a fairly complicated process with a crucial manifestation even in anation's cultural identity.

Of brown sugar and Cinnamon

There is a short but sweet window of time when the summer heat starts dwindling and just before the wedding season sets – autumn. In our country, autumn is different; its subtle nature makes it easy for us to overlook it at times. But we all appreciate the transition of the seasons when the long, humid and languorous summer comes to an end. Occasional downpours bless our windowpanes but it is mostly high sunlit clouds drifting across the clear blue sky in Autumn. The season in Dhaka is ephemeral in nature but is marked by earlier yet bright dusks as evenings becoming reasonably cooler.

A simple game of cards or not!

Playing cards is serious business. Don't believe me? Ask little old Alice stuck in a battle with the red queen and her army of cards who by no means mean fun and games.
