The Daily Star’s “My Dhaka” recently ran a photography contest titled “My Dhaka Lens,” where people were asked to submit their entries on the theme of Dhaka -- anything that embodies the beauty, soul, or essence of our city.
Food prepared on the streets is nothing new in Dhaka. Darul Kabab of yester-Dhaka saw various kebabs on skewers, or seekh as it is called in Bangla, being grilled over an open fire or coal embers.
Shojon, a Bangla word, when roughly translated means a dear one, or maybe a near one. With the promise to hold your hands in your darkest times -- like a loved one, SHOJON is a mental health service, an initiative of the SAJIDA Foundation.
If you ever happen to walk past any busy corporate neighbourhood in Dhaka during lunchtime, you are in for quite a sight!
The centuries-old charm of Old Dhaka's horse-drawn carriages, locally known as "tomtoms", is gradually disappearing. These carriages have been part of the city’s streets for nearly 200 years, but are slowly fading away with time..At one point, there were 35 to 40 horse-drawn carriages oper
Dhaka is full of stories and opportunities. However, living in the capital city comes with a price. Mostly in the form of time, physical and mental stress, and last but not least, stress on your pockets. But perhaps nothing annoys the residents more than the toil of its traffic.
Picture a day where wagging tails, playful paws, and laughter fill a space, with a chance to witness the unique, unspoken connections between humans and animals

Imagine you’re flipping through a book on Dhaka’s history. As you turn the pages, you come across a chapter on the Tara Mosque. Something about it feels familiar. You’re right -- you’ve seen it before.
