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.
Fruits galore!
Summer is only a few days away, and while it's true that not many look forward to this season, it does have its advantages.
SLURP! SLURP!
The spell of Boishakh is up on us; Kalboishakhis raging havoc, only to signal for the coming of a blazing summer.
Canvas of rickshaw art
The three-wheeler carriage, or rickshaw, binds the culture of Bangladesh with the everyday life of people.
A world of magic
A book is a ticket to a journey of imagination. It is the greatest gift you could give to your children. They will be able to indulge in a sense of wonder and ask questions that will help them develop essential critical thinking skills.
MUST-HAVES perfect shoes
Perfect pair of shoes seems like a myth at times. Nothing can call a greater disaster than a shoe that ends up giving you blisters.
Accessories ahoy!
You may have just gotten a new smartphone or laptop, but do you know how to enhance the experience of using a state of the art gadget?
