How to stop your flowers from dying as fast as your New Year’s Resolutions

Keep Valentine's flowers fresh longer by trimming stems at 45 degrees, removing submerged leaves, using room-temperature water, adding flower food, changing water every two days, avoiding fruit, keeping them cool, and reviving drooping blooms with warm water.

Celebrating Bangla: Ekushey Boi Mela sees huge turnout

As the nation observed International Mother Language Day, members of the Bangladesh Scouts collected flowers from the surroundings of the Central Shaheed Minar and designed a large decorative motif in front of the monument yesterday morning.

Ekushey shouldn't be consigned to routines and rituals

We must reaffirm our commitment to linguistic diversity
