    A Tiny Best Friend

    September 6, 2021 - By Tasnia Naureen

    A Tiny Best Friend: It seemed like 17th July 2021 would be like any other day, when I had gone to visit my grandmother’s house. But, upon arriving, I was introduced to two tiny creatures. My aunt had found these two kittens, soaked in the rain, and without any sustenance. One of these two screaming banshees was to be under my care, and who is now a primary source of my happiness. He was too tiny for his age, filled with fleas and other health issues. But, he had the most beautiful eyes, that were blue like a starless midnight…

    Ghost kitchen or cloud kitchen

    September 1, 2021 - By Tasnia Naureen

    [ Ghost kitchen or cloud kitchen ] Years of living in Dhaka has given me an incredible amount of ups, as well as downs. However, the first time I got out of this country to visit another, there was one thing I found myself missing dearly. Even though other countries have much to offer in this particular area, I still craved the spices and flavours of Dhaka’s food. That might have been about five years ago and since then, Dhaka’s food culture has developed vastly. An increasing number of international cuisines are being introduced to our pallets, from Asian to…

    Tagore’s Timelessness

    August 17, 2021 - By Tasnia Naureen

    Tagore’s Timelessness : A name we are all familiar with from our childhoods, from the songs on the radio to the stories we would study in Bangla classes, is Rabindranath Tagore. In Bengali history and culture he is not just a name, but a pillar of the country’s literature and music. Not only that, his works have spread throughout the globe and earned him the title of Biswakabi. Tagore’s talents range throughout most, if not all, areas of Bengali literature. His philosophy and uniqueness depicted in his writing earned him the Nobel prize in 1913. Although he is given the…

    “Where do we eat?” is a common question that leaves us puzzled when planning a day out with  family or friends.

    How to Deal with Artist’s Block

    July 21, 2020 - By Aziza Ahmed Paula

    [ How to Deal with Artist’s Block ] The term “Artist’s block”, aka creative block is very familiar to both traditional and digital artists. Creative block is when you cannot think of anything new to create. In easy words, you run out of creative ideas. Being an artist, I go into this block phase now and then. It is frustrating to me. As I am not a professional artist, I don’t have to create something in a deadline. So, in my case, the block isn’t that bad. But if you are a professional artist and you have no creative idea,…

    Immunity against virus

    April 18, 2020 - By Aziza Ahmed Paula

    The best way of preventing corona virus or any seasonal flu for that matter, is to boost your immune system. You will not get a robust immune system only from food, this is a lifestyle that people need to practice. A cycle of good food habit, good routine and exercise can only benefit you in boosting immune system. I here try to follow the nature, the natural clock, as in the night is to sleep, the mornings and noons are to work and evenings are to rest and chill. In between add elements like a blend of good spices, tea,…

    The inheritance of loss

    [ The inheritance of loss ] BANG!! I lost 25 kilograms in nine months, and I am proud of it. Finally, I have come close to my goal and I can write about my journey of losing my most precious possession, my weight. The weight that I have very happily gained, eating pizzas and bowl full of rice with endless jars of pickles, café lattes, trying out pasta recipes, drowning me in a tub of ice-cream and complaining of looking like a lopsided dead pig as my sister puts it. Twelve years back, I was just this weight I am…

    Overhauling of the mind

    July 2, 2018 - By Aziza Ahmed Paula

    [ Overhauling of the mind ] Few mornings back, I got up from sleep feeling dizzy. My eyes hurt, mouth was super dry, as if I didn’t drink water for a month and most of all, I felt I didn’t sleep for an entire week. I tried to think back, I remembered, I slept for well 7 hours, drank enough water the day before and well did the usual things. This fatigued brain and body was beyond my comprehension. In office I couldn’t concentrate on my work. I got myself a good steak and some vegetable for lunch. Instead I…
