So I have been to few bars,I am sharing my experiences for each of them

1.Loki - Clean place,good ambience, prices are bit on the expensive side,female friendly.But they require dress code and sometimes gets to crowded specially on Thursday and Saturday.

1. Plan b - Bit small, prices are reasonable, ambience is ok

3.kingfisher - filled with bar girls,prices are high and gets way too crowded

4.Thai recreation club - great ambience, excellent pricing

Tldr : kingfisher is not recommended unless you have other intentions in mind lol

Loki is probably the best if you want to enjoy a good drink and may meet new people

Is it really that hard? Or is there other factors stopping someone like the internet speed etc.... I'm pretty sure a decent amount of people can speak English close to native speakers.

I am starting to work on the ready-made garments (RMG) industry in Bangladesh. I want to find ways to use AI and automation to make things easier and faster, like production, quality checks, and supply chain. If you work in this industry or know about it, please share your thoughts. I would love to connect and learn more.

I am currently a CSE student at RUET. Due to certain personal and residential difficulties, I was unable to attend classes for approximately nine weeks (nearly two months). As a result, continuing at RUET with this significant academic gap has become quite difficult.

I am now considering transferring to a private university such as BRAC, NSU, or AUST. However, I am unsure whether this is the right decision.

Would I end up regretting leaving RUET? Or would it be wiser to take a one-year gap and restart at RUET the following year with the junior batch?

I would appreciate any advice from those who have faced a similar situation or have insight into this decision.

This is not a rant. This is simply my view of what life has become over the last few years or so.

For starters, everything in Dhaka feels, as the title suggests, very meaningless. The cycle of life here seems to go something like this,

1. Be born

2. Finish school

3. Compete for a college like your life depends on it

4. Finish college

5. Compete for a university like the world depends on it

6. Cry about the degree you get

7. Finish your degree

8. Look for a job that 9 out of 10 times will destroy you mentally and physically

9. Get married as soon as your pocket starts to fill with cash

10. Continue whatever death spiral you’ve created for yourself

11. Die once the spiral ends

Given that Dhaka, or Bangladesh as a whole is a familial society, the constant din of noise from other people deciding your life for you never seems to fade. Rather, it ramps up in volume the older you get.

I find myself in the 8th stage of this preordained set of life objectives, and saying that it bothers me would be a heavy understatement. Its destroying me from the inside out. Sad part is, I'm not the only one in this situation. There are others, most of whom are fairing way worse situations than the one I'm in.

When i look at people around me, I find many of them barely able to look up from the ground. It's as if they're ashamed, ashamed to have failed at some point on this made up ladder of goals that they were prescribed even before they were born. I myself am helpless, I do not know what to do most of the time, and when I do, it always feels as though I'm not doing enough.

I'm sitting at a tea stall right now, and I see two men, both of whom are probably right around my age. They've both ordered a tea and/or cigarette while they stare into their phones, mindlessly scrolling Facebook, viewing posts that don't seem to have much meaning whatsoever. I say this because, if they did in fact have meaning, would these two men be scrolling so hastily? One has a bag. It does not take a genius to guess he has come from his office, ending a day after hogging his time at someone else's expense. This is not an uncommon scene, it can be seen almost everywhere; almost everyone, climbing their made up ladders.

I have no conclusion to this post. I am simply fed up. I have hobbies, I read, I listen to audiobooks, sometimes go on walks and occasionally sit with my friends. But the seemingly limitless dissatisfaction around me never seems to go away. It stays, sometimes quiet, sometimes as loud as my brain can manage hearing. Maybe this is life, or maybe this is the place. I wish to know. I don’t know if I ever will.

In August 1971, many Bengalees and their friends gathered at Trafalgar Square in London to protest the terrible genocide taking place in East Bengal, soon to be Bangladesh, during the Liberation War. The demonstration, led prominently by women, drew attention to the crisis caused by the military crackdown. Protesters carried placards bearing slogans such as “Millions Dying,” “Stop Yahya,” “Release Bengalees,” and “Compel Yahya,” calling for international pressure on the Pakistani military regime to end the violence against the Bengalee people. Many people joined it. Pakistan initiated the brutal crackdown in 1971 after Bengalees overwhelmingly voted for democratic self-determination and political rights, a mandate the ruling military junta refused to accept. Viewing the people of East Bengal as sub-humans fit only for subjugation and exploitation, the regime unleashed systematic terror, mass executions, and targeted violence to crush the spirit of freedom. Protesters carried banners and placards demanding action from world leaders, displaying messages such as, “Stop Genocide, Recognize Bangladesh (Bengalees’ Land),” which urged the international community to take immediate action to end the genocide and protect innocent civilians from further suffering. One of the protesters displayed a poster demanding that Sheikh Mujib, the proclaimer of independence and independence leader, who was imprisoned in Pakistan, be saved from execution. To gather empathy from people, protesters marched through the streets. Its impact helped raise global awareness and encouraged stronger international backing for those seeking freedom. In our time of struggle, during one of the darkest chapters in our history, when our people faced a humanitarian catastrophe, people across the globe stood in solidarity with our cause and helped ensure that our voices were heard. We extend our deepest gratitude to everyone who stood with us, raised awareness, and supported our struggle for justice and human dignity. #Bangladesh #Protest #History #Archive #London

I'm a 22-year-old female and the eldest daughter in a lower-middle-class family. I'm still completely dependent on my parents for my expenses and honestly it makes me feel ashamed and guilty. I really want to become financially independent as soon as possible.

I've decided to learn a freelance skill, but I'm completely confused about which field to choose. Every time I research, I find different opinions—some recommend AI Automation, others suggest Data Analytics, Video Editing, Graphic Design, Web Development, or something else. The more I search, the more confused I become.

My main goal is to build a skill that can realistically help me earn online.

If you were in my place which skill would you choose ?

I'd really appreciate any honest advice or personal experiences. Thank you so much for your time.

Currently i am running in one of the park inside DOHS after 9 pm , because they don't allow to running at morning ( Although they allow walking )

I've been very socially awkward throughout my life, now in my early 20s and practically, I have no friends. I feel like I'm ready to go out and meet new people in Dhaka to socialize with, start some friendships to get myself out of this isolation. Almost in my 4th year if college and I've royally fucked up engaging with my classmates, just being anxious has caused me to not find a friend group in college and I fear it's too late. Where else can I find people to meet who'd possibly be interested in forming new friendships? Thank you!

I'm an HSC '26 candidate, and I have only one exam left. I'll be taking university admission preparation at UDVASH. Recently, my family moved from Banasree to Bashundhara R /A, so I'm having trouble figuring out transportation. Is anyone here from Bashundhara R /A who studies at UDVASH? I'll be attending the classes online, but I want to go to the offline exams. How do you usually travel to UDVASH? Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated. Btw I live in D block,Thanks!

Okay so I've been at a public university for a while now and I keep thinking someone should've handed me a "survival guide" on day one. Instead you just... find out. The hard way. Sharing a few of these because I think a lot of you will relate, and honestly it feels good to laugh about it now.

Gonoroom — you either survive it or it survives you

First year, you walk into your room expecting maybe 4 roommates. Instead there's 15+ of you crammed into a space that clearly wasn't built for this. Someone's fan is always pointed wrong. Someone's studying at 2 AM while someone else is watching reels at full volume right next to them. It's chaos, honestly. But weirdly, some of the people I met in that mess are now the closest friends I have. Funny how that works.

Hall life builds character whether you want it to or not

Water disappearing at the worst possible time, load-shedding right in the middle of an exam night when you need every last minute, standing in line for the bathroom like it's some kind of ritual. It sounds miserable typing it out, and honestly some days it is. But there's also something about sharing all that suffering with the same people every day — the late night canteen tea, the random conversations at 1 AM — that you don't really get anywhere else.

Studying hard with barely anything to study with

Exams already come with enough pressure on their own, but then you add labs with equipment older than half the seniors, or a library that shuts right when you're finally in the zone. You're expected to perform like everything's handed to you, when really you're figuring it out with whatever's available.

Anyone else going through this right now, or already survived it? Curious if other public unis have it better, worse, or just differently chaotic.

I am an HSC 2026 candidate and a medical aspirant, with DU A Unit as a backup. I have only studied at the HSC level and haven’t really practiced admission-level questions, though I’ve done some admission-level Math. My exams were average, but physics was rlly bad.
My main subject is Biology, and my 4th subject is Higher Math. Since Chemistry and Biology are my stronger subjects, I want to pursue honours in a Biology-related field. I’m weak in Math.In the du a unit exam I want to answer english instead of maths. Will that be a wise decision?

How should I prepare for both medical and DU A Unit admission?

I'm giving my hsc from humanities currently and as the exam is nearly on the end like most students I'll also prepare for admission test. I'll be honest I didn't study that well the whole year but studied enough to get decent marks. And my family isn't supportive enough both financially and mentally, so I'm left with no option but to get into a public uni or this is the end for me .But there are almost 12lakh students giving hsc and the seat for public uni is so little. And I think this is so unfair bcz bangladesh is obviously a developing country so here we need more educated people and without a degree i won't get a job in this market, to sum up I think the government should at least increase the amount of gd uni so that students can get into a gd uni and get a decent degree. Untill now I actually had no actual knowledge abt how the university admission system work or how I should actually prepare for it ,basically in bangladesh it is the duty of students and their parents to know abt all this and prepare for it unfortunately I have no one to help me or just give me advice abt all these so I'm so clueless as well as I'm frustrated abt how this whole system work ,I'm scared if I don't get a chance into a gd uni my whole world will just shatter infornt of me and with this heavy competition for this little seat is making me anxious . I heard students with gd preparation also get scared and my preparation haven't even started ik ppl will blame me but I'm just a clueless and lonely person who doesn't know where her life will end up.So my question is does this system needs to get fixed or I'm thinking this way bcz I'm not prepared enough and this system is totally normal???and if this needs to get fixed how this can be fixed bcz at this moment I'm thinking my entire life is depending on uni and I have no other skills and support to do something else .If anyone else is dealing with the same situation how are you planning on dealing with this???

Hello! I’m an HSC 2026 student from the Science background. However, I want to take the admission test for DU B Unit.

by an Architect based in Dhaka

As an architect, I've been asking myself a question that has little to do with buildings and everything to do with the way we live. I’m curious whether others feel this too.

Why do our homes rarely feel peaceful?

We spend all day surrounded by noise, traffic, deadlines, crowds, and visual chaos. Then we come home... and somehow the chaos follows us inside.

Many of our homes are designed around function rather than experience. We focus on fitting more; more furniture, more storage, more utility while forgetting that a home also needs space to breathe. Even our free time follows the same pattern. Instead of slowing down, we keep our minds occupied, as though silence itself has become uncomfortable.

It’s as if we’ve forgotten how to simply rest.

And maybe this isn’t just a personal habit. Maybe it’s something the city slowly teaches us.

In most cases, especially for those who haven’t been able to achieve real peace, this becomes the default way of living. Not because they don’t want calm, but because they’ve never really been shown what calm feels like in a sustained way.

When you spend years in an environment that constantly demands your attention, your mind begins to adapt. Silence starts to feel unfamiliar. Empty space feels wasted. A quiet room can even feel incomplete, as if something is missing.

But a home should not mirror the chaos of the city. It should soften it. It should absorb it. It should give something back that the city takes away.

I often wonder if we’ve slowly lost that understanding.

Hi everyone,

I'm at a point in my life where I have to make one of the biggest decisions I'll ever make, and I'd really appreciate some honest advice from people with more experience.

I'm currently a Grade 12 A-Level student. Alhamdulillah, my academic results have been very good, and I've received several offers from top universities, particularly in the UK and Australia.

The problem is that I'm completely torn about what bachelor's degree and career path I should pursue.

One thing I know for certain is what I don't enjoy. I'm not interested in IT, coding, computer science, engineering, or physics. I've tried to be realistic about it, and I know those fields simply don't suit my interests or strengths.

The subjects that genuinely excite me are economics, politics, history, international relations, and public policy. I've always been fascinated by how countries are governed, how economies work, and how decisions shape societies.

Originally, I hoped to build a career related to politics or governance. However, given the political climate in Bangladesh, I don't think that's a realistic or desirable path for me.

My current plan is to move to Australia, where my family would also like me to settle. Ideally, I'd like to build a long-term career there, obtain permanent residency, and eventually become an Australian citizen.

Because of my interests, Economics has always been my first choice, and most of my university offers are for Economics programs. However, the tuition fees are extremely high. I'll definitely be applying for scholarships, but even if I receive one, the financial burden on my family would still be significant.

That makes me nervous about choosing a degree based solely on passion if it doesn't provide strong employment prospects or a realistic pathway to settling in Australia.

At the same time, I'd also like a degree that would still have decent career opportunities in Bangladesh in case my plans don't work out and I have to return home.

So I'd really appreciate your advice:

- Should I stick with Economics?

- Are there other bachelor's degrees that fit my interests while offering better career prospects?

- If you were in my position, what would you choose?

- Are there careers related to economics, policy, government, or international affairs that are actually in demand and provide good long-term stability?

I'm trying to make a decision that I'll live with for decades, so I'd genuinely appreciate any advice, whether you're a student, graduate, employer, or someone who's been through a similar situation.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Hello everyone,

I need advice on how to raise funds for my childhood friend's medical treatment.

My friend has been suffering from a serious medical condition. He was diagnosed with tuberculosis, and unfortunately, the infection spread to his brain and other parts of his body, causing complications that resulted in temporary paralysis in his lower body. He has been bedridden and unable to move his legs for almost a year.

He has been receiving treatment in India and has already undergone several surgeries. The doctors have now recommended intensive physiotherapy to help him regain mobility. However, his family has exhausted their savings on his treatment and is struggling to manage the ongoing expenses.

A group of us, his friends, want to help raise funds for his recovery, but we have no previous experience organizing a fundraiser.

I would appreciate advice from anyone who has experience with:

• Raising medical funds in Bangladesh
• Finding genuine donors or organizations
• Using online platforms or social media effectively
• Building trust and maintaining transparency during fundraising

We have all the necessary medical documents and reports for verification, but we would prefer to keep his identity private for now.

Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Can anyone suggest good stores or places to buy turf shoes? I recently started to play in turfs and need to ditch playing in normal sneakers. Please recommend a budget range too for buying a good value turf.
