Rangamati's culinary canvas: Where simplicity meets sophistication

In Rangamati, the culinary approach takes a gentle detour from Dhaka's romance with robust spices. Here, the kitchen's philosophy is about understatement – where freshly sourced ingredients' natural flavours are spotlighted. It's a refreshing departure from the spice-intense culinary narrative that Dhaka so proudly narrates.

Foodie revolution: Men making waves in the kitchen—Here's why

The field of culinary arts in recent years has undergone a paradigm shift. There has been a huge surge of men interested in the culinary arts, showing once and for all that the kitchen is for everyone. We wanted to take a second to explore crucial elements that have caused this movement.

#Perspective / Navigating oborodh: Is it time to move to work from home?

As the streets of our country vibrate with the thunderous procession by the political parties and daily commute is hampered due to the sporadic blockades, not to mention the incidents of vehicles being torched that we hear about, the ongoing political unrest presents a challenging landscape for office goers and businesses alike.

Amidst the raging sea of green jerseys and the enthusiasm of fans who can differentiate between a googly and a doosra, there’s a quiet minority who look at a cricket ball and see, well, just a ball. They argue, "Why spend five days watching a Test match when it might just end in a draw?" Sounds like waiting for a rain-soaked Dhaka road to dry, doesn't it?

#Perspective / Fighting ageism: Can you allow us to age gracefully, please?

Our unforgiving, superficial society is a lover of beauty, quick to criticise whoever does not fit their stereotypes of grace and elegance. Does it matter that she works 16-hour days? Or, she has just given birth, or gone through surgery?

Finding a balance between technology and nature in our daily lives

It is true that living without our smartphones or social media in this day and age is next to impossible but it is also true that due to technology we often feel disconnected from the natural world.

#Perspective / The many faces of freedom

Most people called it midlife crisis, I called it the freedom to do anything I wanted to. Freedom to do anything that made sense and yet was not possible earlier, all because I could not master enough courage to pursue what my heart bled for — a little bit of insanity.

The art of breathing

How do the monks on ice live magically and produce wonders through detachment from worldly angst?
