Trends by the decade
I just love the yesteryears! The previous generation were so stylish that it’s almost incomprehensible. I still fail to understand how they managed to ace every look with precision. Every decade was distinct and could be separated from the others, simply based on fashion trends and styling.
Too much of a good thing
Eating out is probably the easiest way to get a full meal, without bringing a full hassle into one’s home. Yet, rising issues over daily intake of processed food cannot be ignored.

The mostly untapped resources for adventure travel here lie in the unspoiled bits of nature in the flatlands, the huge meandering waterways, the verdant hills in the southeast, the various remote villages all over the country, and the numerous varying ecosystems, the char regions.
Meet Bangladesh
It was not that long ago when travelling just meant going to one’s ancestral homes. Then again, there were not many options available for families or friends during the long stretch of Eid and Puja holidays. The denizens of the upper echelon had the opportunity to go overseas, but even they were a handful in number.
