    How to Deal with Artist’s Block

    July 21, 2020 - By 

    [ 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 

    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

    September 10, 2018 - By 

    [ 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 

    [ 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…

    [ Definitely pretty ] In inspiration section today we have Saria Saguaro. Saguaro means cactus and she thinks her nick is accurately given.

Bangla Hues asked her few questions and here is what she replied… Bangla hues:  You got…

    [ My blogging inspiratons ] One of my most favourite online indulgences is reading lifestyle blogs. I look at the beautiful pictures and get my inspirations for cooking, home making or DIY projects. It has been few years now that I spend my leisure time watching these pages. They are addictive, they are inspiring and above all they are brilliant. Today I am writing about my top 5 sites. These five bloggers are basically main inspirations for Bangla Hues. When I looked at their pages, I realised, resources were limited for me, as country and contexts are different. Hence I…

    March 18, 2016 - By 

    [ T for Tilat ] I first came across to her name on the web. Her entire makeup line got me all interested as I always wanted a local makeup brand. I became so fascinated with her that I searched for her facebook page, bought lipstick and became a fangirl. I soon spoke to her and organized for an interview through email. Here I present Tilat Khayer a Bangladeshi makeup artist who has a makeup line under her name. 1.How did you break into creating your own make-up brand? Some brands are born out of a business idea.

    November 25, 2015 - By 

    [ Fairy-tale Anniversary ] Today is my parents’ 39th wedding anniversary. I have been thinking a lot how to make their day memorable. My brother and I have been planning from small forest gate away to boat rides, dinner to family photo sessions and so many other things. We are still planning on the mode of celebration but just to make the day special I made my parents a fairy tale wedding cake and their favorite almond cookies. I paired it with a bouquet of flowers, something I know my picky father will love. When they got married no one…
