Online but unprotected: Why our kids need cyber literacy, not just internet access

In many developing nations, digital access has arrived faster than digital safety. And our children are caught in the middle.

The Gentle Giants: How our fathers loved us without saying a word

Bangladeshi fathers, particularly those who came of age in the ’70s, ’80s, and ’90s, weren’t built for emotional declarations.

#Perspective / The big Eid detox: Because that wasn’t just one cheat day

While you should indulge because, let’s be honest, Eid is about love, family, and licking rezala off your elbow, it’s not a bad idea to also plan a bit of a comeback. A soft, digestive reboot.

In the chaos of Dhaka traffic, one vehicle has quietly taken over: the battery-powered three-wheeler, often called the ‘Tesla’, not the sleek one from Silicon Valley, but the Bangladeshi kind.

Curated Cars: The Dhaka Car Show that finally got it right

May 1 and 2 gave us something rare. A proper show. Curated Cars wasn’t just another excuse to hang out and say, “Bro, my car faster.” This was for the real enthusiasts—the ones who actually know what a Jaguar S-Type is and don’t think a McLaren is just a footballer. So what did they do differently?

The Flying Slipper: A tribute to moms, discipline, and the gentle art of terror

This Mother’s Day, celebrate the iconic South Asian flip-flop — more than footwear, it was a symbol of maternal authority, discipline, and reflex training, shaping generations with precision throws, psychological warfare, and unforgettable love wrapped in chappal justice.

3 greatest career musts as we grow older

Ford Ranger XLT

All pickup trucks in Bangladesh are work trucks. Few people look beyond the load carrying capacity and see the pointlessly cool allure of a pickup truck. The Ranger isn't your typical work truck. Padded interiors, plenty of buttons to answer all your comfort needs and a stylised look fit for posing with the sun behind your back. It's that kind of truck: for work and for plenty of play.

Chew on this: Benefits of multiple, short food breaks

I have a small yet highly productive team. The amount of tasks they manage would normally require at least twice the people. Which partly explains their frequent suggestions to the rest to head to the canteen for a short break. But does it really help?

the 90’s 0

Actually, the 90’s was the greatest decade for cars

My love for cars is probably genetic. My father has a thing for simple old American cars with loads of torque: 70's cars basically. Part of his experience involved a 66 Ford Falcon that never ever stuttered or broke down while his later series of Mazdas, Datsuns and Toyotas often did. He would likely agree that the 70's was great for motoring. Except, it wasn't.

2016 Ford EcoSport Black Edition

Take a regular Ford EcoSport Titanium, throw some black paint on the chrome bits and you have the Black Edition. Unlike Mercedes, there's no performance bump from all the blackness, but otherwise it's quite a good car. Take a look.

Job hopping with Genghis Khan

Genghis Khan knew if he stuck to his daily routine of pillaging, looting and massacring the opposing villages, he would eventually conquer the world. He didn’t dabble in job hopping. But this is now and young people early in their careers tend to jump within two to four years. Here are 4 top reasons why.

What the heck is UBER?

Plenty of confusion with what is Uber. Is it anyone’s car that is lying around? Is it a taxi? Is it a plane? The confusion stems from Uber itself for pretending to be like Johnny Depp: reclusive and quiet. Except Depp can handle the grief. Can Uber?
