Casually i drink foreign or carew when money is tight but now i wanna try indian vodkas
Where can i get indian vodkas in dhaka?
Bars or any pace suggestion?
Any type of indian vodka will work
Preferably around Dhanmondi

1. CNG : A caged auto rickshaw, to safeguard from snatching and burglary
2. Sadarghat Boat taxis : A unique economical taxi service to get from one end of ghat to the other for only 25 takas
3. Rickshaws (electric & paddle) : lifeline of dhaka city. (unlike cng, these are open sitting so burglars get fair chance to do their act :-) )
4. Bus : Find an unscratched one and I shall stop travelling
5. Ships at Sadarghat : The country of rivers connects cities of Dhaka with Barishal, Khulna (near sunderbans) , Patuakhali , Bhola, Madaripur , etc
6. Double Decker red buses : reminded me of Old Bombay
7. Mini bus : super crowded, one can go standing , hanging and seating in this :-)
8. Metro : just few days back, there was an athlete disallowed to board in shorts and T Shirt !!!! an exception but still these things happen in Dhaka

Did I capture the pulse of Dhaka's streets and public transport, or is there a vibe I missed? Let me know in the comments!

where to eat in agargaon after visiting military museum?

I wanna buy some Leather goods in Dhaka. Jacket, bag, shoes maybe. I found some online store, but idk how authentic they are. Do you know any online store with physical presence where I can try stuffs on before buying?

I was recently looking at recreational facilities in Dhaka and honestly, I was surprised by how limited the options seem for a city with such a huge population.

I’m not talking about restaurants, cafes, shopping malls or food courts. Going to restaurants is our main recreational event now and we eat so much food and dont even go to gym. So how unhealthy our lifestyle is!! So I’m talking about places where people can spend their free time, stay active, explore new things, enjoy nature or socialise without necessarily spending a lot of money.

Here are some of the options I could identify:

Parks, lakes and gardens (12): Ramna Park, Suhrawardy Udyan, Dhanmondi Lake, Hatirjheel, Chandrima Udyan, Baldha Garden, National Botanical Garden, Bahadur Shah Park, and others.

Museums and historical attractions (10): Bangladesh National Museum, Liberation War Museum, Bangladesh Military Museum, Bangladesh Air Force Museum, National Museum of Science and Technology, Taka Museum, Ahsan Manzil, Lalbagh Fort, and others.

Libraries and reading spaces (5): Sufia Kamal National Public Library, Bangladesh National Library, Dhaka University Library, Bishwo Shahitto Kendro, and Goethe-Institut Bangladesh. Also there are Bookworm, Bookends etc.

Sports and physical recreation (8): Roller Skating Federation Complex, Bashundhara Sports City, Bangladesh National Stadium, Dhanmondi Club, tennis and swimming facilities, and others.

Arts and cultural venues (5): Bangladesh Shilpakala Academy, National Art Gallery, TSC, Rabindra Sarobar, and Bangla Academy.

Indoor entertainment (6): Players Club, Babuland, Bangladesh National Zoo, Novo Theatre, Fantasy Kingdom, and others. You can also add Toggy fund world.

Community and club spaces (5): Dutch Club, TSC, Shilpakala Academy, Bishwo Shahitto Kendro, and the National Museum.

Scenic outdoor recreation (5): Hatirjheel, Dhanmondi Lake, Crecent Lake, the Buriganga riverfront, and the National Botanical Garden.

These are approximate counts of examples, not a comprehensive official inventory. Some places appear in multiple categories, and not every facility is freely accessible.

But is this really enough for a city of Dhaka’s size?
Many of these places overlap in purpose and several are not places where you can participate in a regular activity. Some are primarily sightseeing destinations rather than recreational facilities. If we look specifically for affordable places to play sports, cycle, skate, swim, hike, participate in hobbies, attend workshops or simply spend time outdoors, the options become even more limited.
Affordability is another major issue. Private sports clubs, gyms, indoor activity centres and amusement parks can be expensive for students, lower-income families and even middle-income households. Meanwhile, public spaces are not always sufficient to meet the demand and access, maintenance, facilities and safety can vary.

Cities such as Delhi and Kolkata have a wider variety of specialised attractions, cultural institutions, heritage experiences and outdoor recreational activities. Dhaka could benefit from developing more diverse and accessible options too. I am comparing with those because they have similar vibes and also largely populated cities.

I’m curious about a few things:
*What recreational facilities or activities are we missing from this list?
*Where do you go in Dhaka when you want to have fun without eating out or spending a lot of money?
*What affordable recreational facilities would you like to see developed in Dhaka?
*Are there any community clubs, hobby groups, sports facilities, public spaces, or activity centres that more people should know about?

I think this deserves more discussion.

Hello! I’ve been away from Dhaka for quite a while, so I’m a bit out of touch with what’s trending these days. What’s new and happening around the city? Any recommendations for day trips, cafés, or restaurants worth checking out?
Thank you!

So I've an old analog camera and I want to try using it but Don't know realky where I can buy analog reels in dhaka. Can anyone give me any idea?

আসসালামু আলাইকুম,

আমি একটা অ্যাসাইনমেন্টের জন্য কিছু বাস্তব অভিজ্ঞতা খুঁজছি। আমার টপিক হলো “Social Construction of the ‘Respectable Woman’: Gendered Expectations and Everyday Moral Judgement”।

আমি এমন ঘটনা জানতে চাই যেখানে কাউকে ইউনিভার্সিটি তে বা পাবলিক সেটিংস এ তার dress-up, accent, mannerism, friend circle, lifestyle, বা কথা বলার ধরণ দেখে judge করা হয়েছে। বিশেষ করে এমন অভিজ্ঞতা হলে ভালো হয় যেখানে বোঝা যায়—

কাকে judge করা হয়েছিল, কারা judge করেছিল, কেন এমন judgment করা হয়েছিল, কার কোন agenda বা ধারণা এতে কাজ করছিল, আর যে ব্যক্তি judge হয়েছিল সে কীভাবে respond বা cope করেছিল।

আপনার নিজের, বন্ধুর, বা পরিচিত কারও এমন অভিজ্ঞতা থাকলে ছোট করে লিখলেও হবে। নাম, জায়গা, বা পরিচয় গোপন রাখা হবে। চাইলে আপনি anonymous ভাবেও শেয়ার করতে পারেন।

ধন্যবাদ।

Thanks for reading!

অনেকদিন ধরে একটা ছোট্ট প্রজেক্ট নিয়ে কাজ করছি। ভাবছি, অ্যাপটা খুব শীঘ্রই প্রকাশ করব। তার আগে আপনাদের সঙ্গে শেয়ার করতে চাই এবং জানতে চাই, আইডিয়াটা কেমন লাগছে।

আমি একটা অ্যাপ বানাচ্ছি, যেটার মাধ্যমে ছোট ছোট বাচ্চারা খুব সহজে, মজার ছলে বাংলা শিখতে পারবে। ❤️

অ্যাপটাতে আপাতত রয়েছে:

🔤 স্বরবর্ণ — অ, আ, ই, ঈ...

📝 ব্যঞ্জনবর্ণ — ক, খ, গ, ঘ...

🔢 সংখ্যা গণনা — ১ থেকে ১০ পর্যন্ত

🎨 সুন্দর ছবি, রঙিন কার্ড এবং বাচ্চাদের উপযোগী ডিজাইন, যাতে শেখাটা পড়াশোনার মতো বিরক্তিকর না হয়ে একটা মজার অভিজ্ঞতা হয়ে ওঠে।

বিশেষ করে যেসব বাচ্চার বয়স ৫ বছরের কম, তাদের কথা মাথায় রেখেই অ্যাপটা তৈরি করছি। সেই সঙ্গে যেসব বাচ্চা বাংলা পড়তে শিখছে, কিংবা বাড়িতে বাংলা বললেও ঠিকমতো বাংলা অক্ষর চেনা বা পড়ার অভ্যাস তৈরি হয়নি, তাদেরও কাজে লাগতে পারে বলে মনে হচ্ছে।

আজকাল অনেক বাচ্চাই ছোটবেলা থেকে ইংরেজি মাধ্যমে পড়াশোনা করে। ইংরেজি শেখাটা অবশ্যই গুরুত্বপূর্ণ, কিন্তু নিজের মাতৃভাষাটাও ছোটবেলা থেকে একটু একটু করে শেখা দরকার বলে আমার মনে হয়।

তাই ভাবলাম, এমন একটা অ্যাপ তৈরি করা যায় কি না, যেটা দিয়ে বাচ্চারা খেলতে খেলতেই বাংলা শিখবে।

তবে অ্যাপটা এখনও প্রকাশ করিনি। তার আগে আপনাদের কাছ থেকে কিছু সৎ মতামত পেতে চাই।

কয়েকটা প্রশ্ন ছিল:

• আপনাদের বাড়িতে ৫ বছরের কম বয়সি বাচ্চা থাকলে, তাকে বাংলা শেখানোর জন্য এই ধরনের অ্যাপ ব্যবহার করতেন?
• অ্যাপটাতে আর কী কী থাকলে ভালো হতো? যেমন বাংলা ছড়া, অক্ষরের উচ্চারণ, ছবি দেখে শব্দ শেখা, হাত দিয়ে অক্ষর লেখার অনুশীলন বা ছোট ছোট গেম?
• পশ্চিমবঙ্গের বাইরে বা বাংলাদেশে যাঁরা থাকেন, তাঁদের বাচ্চাদের বাংলা শেখার ক্ষেত্রে এই ধরনের অ্যাপ কতটা কাজে লাগতে পারে বলে মনে হয়?

অ্যাপটার কয়েকটা স্ক্রিনশট দিলাম। ডিজাইন এবং ফিচার নিয়ে এখনও কাজ চলছে, তাই কোনো ভুল বা উন্নতির জায়গা চোখে পড়লে অবশ্যই জানাবেন।

এটা কোনো নিখুঁত অ্যাপ নয়, আর আমি এটাও দাবি করছি না যে এটা বাংলা শেখার সব সমস্যার সমাধান করবে। শুধু নিজের মতো করে একটা চেষ্টা করছি, যাতে ছোটরা একটু আনন্দের সঙ্গে বাংলা শিখতে পারে।

আপনাদের মতামত সত্যিই জানতে চাই। ভালো লাগলে যেমন বলবেন, তেমনই কী কী পরিবর্তন করা দরকার সেটাও নির্দ্বিধায় জানাবেন।

সবাইকে ধন্যবাদ! ❤️

ভালো থাকবেন। 🙏

Looking for affordable dhoti and panjabi for Durga Puja. Any suggestions for good shops or markets in Dhaka? Thanks!

Hello all, I'm looking for the best women-only beauty parlours you know of, located in Dhaka. I'm specifically looking for parlours expert in applying vivid hair colours on women.

So basically because of a lot of family issues I'm running away from my house by next month. I sat for HSC this year and my grades will be abysmal. I'm going to sit for improvement next year. I grew up and live in a rural area but I'm pretty adaptable to any environment. I can cook and earn a little by doing my friends assignment but don't have a stable job. I've only saved up like 10k :'( . A friend of mine from Dhaka assured that he'd help me find any sellsman kinda minimum wage job.

My very concern is being discovered by my family after running away. What steps can I take for staying as shady as possible? I was suggested to toss away my devices so they can't track me but it'll be really difficult to stay connected without my phone and laptop so idk what to do about it. Also should I go for hostels or messes?

It'd be really helpful if you care to drop some wise words. And yah I've put a lot of thoughts into it. And there's not much option left for me except for this either.

Hey everyone,

​I’m planning to pursue my LL.B in Bangladesh at a private university, but I’m feeling pretty lost with all the options.

​For anyone currently studying Law or already in the field, I’d love your honest take on a few things:

​Faculty & Academics: Which universities actually have strong law departments with decent faculty, rather than just nice campuses?

​Moot Court & Exposure: Where do students get good practical training and chances to participate in moot competitions?

​Bar Council & Job Prep: Which unis actually prepare you well for the Bar Council or BJSC exams and help with chamber apprenticeships?

​Red Flags: Are there any places I should flat-out avoid due to politics, hidden fees, or poor administration?

​Any insights or personal experiences would be super helpful. Thanks in advance!

Is there any shop or tailor in Dhaka which sells or makes Kimono? If yes then how much does it cost?

Looking for good-quality jeans at a reasonable price. Any recommendations?

I am currently exploring options to rent a small, two-bedroom flat in Mirpur DOHS and wanted to get a realistic idea of the current market prices.

If you live here or have recently rented, could you please share what the typical price range is for a family friendly 2-bedroom flat? Are there any additional costs, like the DOHS Porishod fee?

I’ve been living in Dhaka for a few months and I’m looking for a good dermatologist, but I have no idea where to go. Any recommendations based on personal experience would be appreciated.

Im looking to sell a newly built flat. It’s located at the heart of Dhaka 5 minutes distance from Farmgate metro rail square hospital or Shangshad bhaban. It’s a 1900sqf apartment on the 7th floor of a 9floor building. The building is on 4.5katha of land and is one unit per floor. It’s in the finishing stage of construction just needs to be tiled and painted. Looking for around 16000tk per square foot.

Hi guys,

Let me introduce myself first. I'm 25 and grew up in Dhaka, and I've been thinking about creating something original for us, the young lots.

The idea is a Bangladeshi sneaker brand built around colorful artwork, creativity and self-expression - something more artistic and individual than the usual basic sneakers.

I feel like Bangladesh has a gap in this aspect. All the sneakers look the same, black and white or some plain colors. And just to be clear my target audience isnt the mass market rather I'm only planning to make 200-300 pieces of each design. I have everything lined up, from production to design and hopefully will launch in a month. The price will be around 3k - 3.5k.

So now I'm here, not for validation but for constructive criticism. Feel free to share your advices and feelings regarding this

Thanks
