As Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler sang,

What a wonderful time of the year it is right now! The blessed Ramadan has brought us the opportunity to get closer to Allah yet again, and we couldn’t be more grateful. With anxious anticipation, we are awaiting the Eid day, and preparations for it are in full swing to make sure

Summer Eids are going to be the norm for the next few years, and thus we must remember to adjust expectations and plans to make it the most fun.

The massive resort has recently added two more attractions to their list: a games centre and a water park.

Play those games and be that dainty, shy rose.

A common dish from Kerala and easy to prepare. Perfect for vegans. It is a rich, creamy dish that goes great with polao or parathas.

A place most popularly known for its opulent décor and Instagram worthy pictures, Horse and Horse is a brand that offers luxury at an affordable price to its clientele. The food is just as grand as the place.Horse and Horse has a well-developed menu that offers just the right number

With the series of big games coming up, we need a pile of snacks, if only to keep us from fidgeting over the scores. Instead of loading up on packaged sugary goodies, which we all regret later on, as a sugar rush on top of the match excitement is not really fun, why not try making some easy snacks

The thrill of cricket has made jerseys one of the biggest selling items in the country, letting you wear your favourite number and name on the back; this particular shade of green stands for nothing but pride. While we support and love one country, the jerseys we sport can be of different designs

Cricket unites us as a nation; no one’s going to argue this notion, especially when recalling narratives of 1997 when Bangladesh qualified for the first time at the ICC World Cup Cricket. The streets were coloured red that day, with people cheering high, and since then we never looked back.

Dhaka is one of the most densely populated cities in the world, except during Eid holidays. Most of us travel to our home town/villages to celebrate the festival with family and friends. Dhaka will be empty and quiet, and peaceful for a few days. As much as we would like to cherish these

Jogaan.com, an online grocery shop with a clever play on the Bangla word meaning ‘supply’ or ‘delivery,’ is focused with the simple mission of meeting people’s daily needs in the easiest possible way.

Mercury has hit 40, and Earth is squirming under the fury of the blazing sun. We await a downpour; only a downpour can quench this thirst. Somewhere deep in our hearts, it is almost the same longing for the company of a special soul. Perhaps you have heard of saris speaking

Think fish. Think sweets. Think heritage loom — that’s Bengali life in a nutshell. With roots firmly anchored in ancient Persia, the Jamdani found new meaning at the banks of the Shitalakshya. Fashion has seen its fair share of turns, but the saga of this timeless textile is a never ending.

Took six yards of glory and like twiners that grip by tendrils, draped like they owned it. The sari is more than just feminine yards and they went wild with flora splattered, and the shades smeared all over. A rumour was doing the rounds — “faux pas!” They laughed over because when it comes to gossip

“Less is more” said the smart ones. Heritage looms to ‘post-modern’ prints — one can simply drown in a pool of this soothing hue of pink, never having to think twice about going wrong. Oh! Did we say, ‘women only’? Certainly not! As the song goes, “Pink is the colour of passion

A Jamdani is exquisite. A Jamdani is timeless. And it has the love of a woman, and her man! All our lives we try to stand out in a crowd, while the real struggle often is to blend in.
