You know what I'm sick of? People getting onboard hype bandwagons without even playing the game they are hyped about.

What I have come to realise is that the youth – people between ages 15 and 24 – are either thinkers or doers. Exceptions are those who think AND do; they score double points in life.

It's 4 pm. I lie still in bed with the windows and balcony door open. The eerie silence of the once-bustling city doesn't bother me anymore.

You know the sort of people who share poems or songs about the rain as soon as a single drop hits their windows?

I really got into Pokémon when I was a kid; I used to have hundreds of Pokémon cards, collected little figurines, watched the show every day...

We turned 3 today. These past 3 years helming SHOUT have seen their ups and downs but what this experience never lacked was excitement ...

Game of Thrones and Silicon Valley finally got their finales. On the downside, no more GoT and SV; on the upside, we can finally be online at peace on Mondays.

Let me share two experiences.

My friend recently got enrolled in a university. He will experience “college” now. I am happy for him.

“Mom, where's my ID card? I can't find it.” You yell in despair as you are getting late for class. She swerves in, gives you a smack on the head, and hands it to you with a smirk on her face.

Just when you thought you're about to metamorphose into a cactus and Dhaka has become a slightly smaller version of Sahara, it arrived.

For those of us who chose to stay in Dhaka or are forced to (hello, A level GPA of 1.5), it becomes an exercise in futility in every possible way.

Straight tie, well-ironed shirt, sharp suit and a killer smile – what it takes to make the perfect first impression.

Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise,” said Benjamin Franklin, supposedly...

Hey, is it just me or has the amount of dust in Dhaka city increased exponentially over the past two years? It is absolutely ridiculous.

When I played Civilization as a kid, I literally had zero sense of history. What I did first was to make a new civilisation and name it Bangladesh.
