Alternative Compensations

Whether it's an unpaid internship or just the usual work as a freelancer, people who use such impractical forms of payment or honorarium, always manage to get to our nerves thanks to their weird belief that hard working people will be fine with receiving just the exposure and experience.

Travelling with parents who aren't open to experiencing different cultures

Growing up, I've been privileged enough to have had the opportunity to travel to many exotic places. The city streets bursting with creatures from all walks of life in Thailand, the tranquil hillsides of Nepal, the haunting frozen foods aisle of a Walmart at 3am in Nowhere, Florida.

Awkward situations you don't want to be found in

Circumstances will often get you into awkward situations you never wanted to be in. At times, it's not just the awkward moments that bother you, it's the people around you who witness the awkwardness unfolding that makes you question your very existence at those particular moments.

We should've been taught these in school

“I knew this would come in handy some day!” I scream in excitement as I whip out my logarithm table in front of my manager to discuss the viability of my project.

Do our schools adequately prepare us for the future?

As I prepare to graduate and arguably enter the 'real' world, I can't help asking myself, “Am I prepared to enter the hyper competitive world with the skills I currently have?”

The Closeted Centrist: When pragmatism is a problem

The life of a centrist comes with its fair share of tribulations. The question of “Why people have to pick a side and then blindly ignore all other logical reasoning?” is a constant.

Mirpur is a mysterious land. Even though it is located inside Dhaka, no one considers it to be a part of Dhaka city. It's the evil twin sister of The Bermuda Triangle which draws you in, sucks the life and money out of you, then tosses the body out after a few hundred hours of insane traffic. The journey to and from this land is one that which a lot of us had to go through but not many survived with their sanity intact. We all know someone who lives in Mirpur. The following features will help identify him/her.

A day in the life of a CNG auto rickshaw

I'm awake apparently. Master checks me and sighs, probably wondering when he will have enough money to fix my faulty engine. The loop his life goes through is simple: earn, feed, and hope the traffic sergeant won't check his papers when I suddenly halt in the middle of the street and refuse to start.

Living life in the fear of being 'Meme-ified'

Of all the things the internet has given us, memes are perhaps the most ecstatic ones. These humorous visuals are what many of us look out for almost every time we come online or scroll through our social media pages. However, like any other thing you could possibly think of, memes also have two sides to them. We may go on liking meme after meme, sharing one or two from the wide range of options, laughing our socks off to some of them and so on. But is everyone so accepting of this 'meme culture'?

Types of bibliophiles

Books make good friends. They're a fulfilling concoction that can, for some, be just as effective as any headache tablets. You'll find them there on your grey days, in times of need when stress leaves the mind walking in circles, and especially when you need a good company to sit back and relax with.

Tutoring an unruly kid

There comes a time in the lives of many young people when they start teaching instead of just being taught. In the case of Bangladeshi people in their late teens or early 20s, teaching children is something that is quite common. It is a source of income, and sometimes, an extremely painful activity. And nothing makes teaching more stressful than having a student who's unruly.
