LS Pick
ls pick / A glass full of bliss
This season also happens to bring one of those unfortunate bouts of lack of appetite. Gulping down soups or heavy broths just do not sit right for the stomach.
ls pick / The Monsoon mixes
Rain has a way of taking us on an overwhelming rollercoaster ride of emotions.
ls pick / For the love of stationery hoarding
It may be a digital age where, instead of paper, notes are taken on a scribble pad app on our smartphones, but a true stationery-nerd knows to keep a pen and notepad in their bags.
ls pick / Comfort food for lazy days
With everyday being a lazy day, we all need closure. Watching movies and reading books all day can become tedious, but a heart-warming snack to go with it can make a pleasant difference. Comfort food can take one’s mood from bored and frustrated to relaxed and at ease.
ls pick / Adopt an artisan and save our heritage
Sobita Modi, a woman in her early fifties, had to take charge of her life with no aid from anyone else. Having to raise her children all by herself and ensure a proper education for all of them, she had to work relentlessly, weaving cane mats (shitol pati) and selling them to merchants at the district bazaar in Munshiganj.
ls pick / Panjabi with a twist
The panjabi — a timeless and traditional attire for any occasion, is an embodiment of the Bengali culture. Just as the sari is close to any woman’s heart, the panjabi bears the same essence for men.
ls pick / Anchored in heritage: A reincarnation of long-lost boats
Given that Bangladesh is a riverine country, it comes as no surprise that boats of various shapes, sizes, and forms had been crafted — to use and commute its many rivers and canals, and to cater to the diverse needs and purposes of those aboard, be it recreational or functional.

@ Purbachal
Lack of food-less recreation has led our people to meet up with their friends at Hatirjheel ignoring the simple fact that it's a lakefront meant to minimise traffic congestion and ease communication and not to set up a date with your significant other.
Gluten hideouts
Gluten free food, gluten free ingredients and gluten free recipes have all been on the radar of health conscious foodies for quite a while and now it is more of a concern for many than ever before.
Cold coffee chills for this Dhaka summer

Your next favourite title now delivered at your door!
To a bookworm, the home is a fortress where every book is treated like blocks building up an armoury of reading materials!
Falgun shenanigans
Keeping the viridity and vibrancy of Falgun in mind, you can be nature's belle for the occasion, to celebrate her rejuvenation, by wearing all those colours in your jewellery made of fresh flowers and even leaves.
Rock n' roll with a deodorant!
Have you ever thought that you were missing out on something after you put on your outfit and then realise it was your deodorant?
Bomb away with bomber jackets
Winter mornings are cold and wet with a brisk wind sweeping a chill across the land, seeping into our homes, stripping the dear warmth of our skin. As comfortable and tempting as it may be, to wrap our precious quilt around the body and step outside to rule the street, fashion wise it would be quite appalling.
Jhalmuri VS Pop Corn
By the time this goes into your hands, the bite of chilly winter may have seeped deep into your bones. The other possibility is the season vanishing, leaving no trace.
