Editor’s note

Our society has evolved — fuelled by changing tastes and preferences, colossal globalization, and ever-expanding smart technologies. And with it, our lifestyle has changed dramatically.

Twenty years ago, how many of us would even believe that one could order practically anything online with just a few taps on our smartphones? And how many of us could ever imagine travelling within the country as well as abroad would become so commonplace?

These are just two things – the tip of the iceberg if you will – which we look closely in today's edition of The Daily Star's 32nd anniversary supplements. Be it a modern take on our eternal love for the sari, the evolving bakery scene in the capital, or the way we spend evenings at open mic sessions, this special supplement is a kaleidoscope of life and living in 2023.       

One may claim that lifestyle is a subject people tend not to consciously think of, and yet, it affects us all in more ways than imaginable. We invite you to flip through the pages of this supplement, 'In with the New: Lifestyle Chronicles.'
