Like hugs in cups

Having opinions can turn out to be unsafe for people. I'm talking about choosing a side, actually. When the football world cup comes around, you're pretty much either Brazil or Argentina.

Professionalism

More often than not, I see university freshers or those who are about to graduate worry over what they are going to do in the job market regarding their talents.

TOP 1 MUST-TRY RECIPE OF 2018

Today we're going to learn how to make something really special. It's one of the most important things you're ever going to learn to make, if not the most important.

WRITER'S BLOCK

Staring at the white screen of a blank page on MS Word is perhaps the most depressive activity as a writer. Like common cold, it has a bunch of possible remedies [that rarely work] while most decide to ride it out until things get better.

WATCH AND LEARN

I was on YouTube the other night, and as one does, I started watching videos on the potential impact of 5G networks on human lives, and hours later, found myself watching a documentary on wildlife in the Serengeti.

Believe the batabi lebu

“This couldn't have been possible without our farmer's tools and the deep knowledge of our research wing. I am proud to announce today that we have generated the highest yield of batabi lebu in our country's history,” said Dr. Vageata Sanchez at the event.

IN SEARCH OF SAFETY

The curse of civilisation is that it leaves humans wanting more all the time. This need to live better than your ancestors comes in two forms.

WHAT'S COOKING?

Since the favourite pastime of the youth is to dine outside and with the runaway cost of questionable food, maybe it's time we can take matters into our own hands. YouTube has the best cooking shows out there. Moreover, if you're really bad at cooking, they even have channels for people who are really bad at cooking.

Pardon My Dreams

A big part of watching these world cup games, for me, is the part where the players line up to sing their national anthems. I'm just another spectator sitting thousands of miles away and the sheer occasion of another person representing their nation in the world's biggest stage, singing an anthem they've sung their whole lives, gives me the chills. Imagine what it's like for those players.

HANG IN THERE, CHAMP

Imagine being in a place in your life where you feel you're on the right track to realise that dream that you've had for years, and the struggle it took to get there is on the verge of feeling worthwhile, you only need to pass some additional hurdles and you'll be able to prove you belong there, until you can't.

I really 1-2 see this happen

It's amazing how we love football. It's great that like elections, every four year the country [and the world in a broader view] splits up to support two major teams whilst supporters of minnows casually co-exist in the environment. But what if there were no big teams to support?

The Beautiful Game

The best part of the FIFA World Cup is that regardless of people's general interest in football, everyone shows up for the WC, especially in Bangladesh. Even though football barely gets any priority in the

One of the most common phrases you hear around this time of the year, especially if you're a person teetering on the edge of teenage and adulthood, is “Eid is no longer like it used to be.” Well, of course it isn't.

Shoot for the Stars

It's pretty much accepted at this point that humanity's future lies in the stars. What concerns us now is how and when we will get there. If you haven't already, check out The Expanse, the show brilliantly expands

TOO MUCH FOR ONE MATCH

What the world witnessed last Sunday was spectacular. This year's Champions League final was a match that injected a rush of emotions for every set of fans out there. For neutrals, it had everything from unmatchable quality of play to the worst levels of incompetence fathomable. I have never laughed at a football match like I did at this one.

Tick off the bucket list

The term “bucket list” was coined by a Hollywood screenwriter who used it as the core idea behind writing the movie, The Bucket List. You've probably seen or heard about it. Fun fact: the first item in the man's bucket list was to have a screenplay produced into a major motion picture. Well, congratulations.

Cyberpunk Dhaka

If you've played Sleeping Dogs or Deus Ex, you already know what I am talking about. When it rains in Dhaka and the neon lights flash up, cyberpunk is the word that comes to my mind. While we're busy cloning Cash of Cans, open-world Dhaka is crying for someone to turn it into a video game.

NO ONE IS READY FOR THIS

Sometimes, the unthinkable happens. People you thought were unshakeable in their positions stop being there, the constants in your life evaporate into variables, and you're left with a void that will remain unfulfilled.

Happily, albeit, not ever after

We all need happiness, like we need oxygen, water, food, roof over our heads. But there's a fundamentally wrong understanding of happiness that's perpetuated since we're children: “happily ever after”, an all-too-familiar phrase found at the end of virtually every fairy tale.

ARE MEMES ART?

Before I begin, when I say memes in this context, I mean them as image macros. So now that we all more or less know that memes are here to stay for good, it's time to ask ourselves how we should classify these
