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.

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.

I know I'm not the only one whose nostrils were invaded by the smell that manifests itself during this year's Eid-ul-Adha.

Hello darkness, my old friend

Think of all your favourite songs, artworks, literature, movies. The ones that really REALLY shook you. How many of them came from a dark place?
