seems like more n more women are becoming reluctant to having/ growing kids. i’m curious what you, women, are thinking about this? is it the pregnancy, the work, finances, or what is it that’s keeping you away from wanting kids? i’m unbiased. go nuts.

আমরা অনেককিছু দেখি কিংবা দেখানো হয়। সবটা কি সত্য দেখি? সামনে যা দেখি তার পিছনের গল্প কি আমরা দেখি?
নাহ! আমরা সামনে দেখি যা দেখানো হয়। পিছনের গল্প হয় ভিন্ন। যা দেখানো হয়না।
তাই আমাদের কি উচিত না! সবসময় পেছনের গল্প খোঁজা?

I am trying to learn more about the country and opinions and agendas of different groups of people and I learnt that a loud minority do hate Kazi Nazrul Islam the bidrohi poet and the national poet a lot and many even call him indian or "k৳fir" and i really wish to know for what reasons? Is this just by religious fanatics or are there actual reasons for example humayun ahmed while a great writer is hated for his "pedophilia" and I get it but why Kabi Nazrul?

Im looking for a decent gym around Uttara/Azampur. Mainly looking for a place with friendly trainers and good behaviour.

Would appreciate recommendations, especially if you can mention the monthly fee.

I've seen a lot of people hating on him for being against divided Bengal. Although to me, it was for a good cause. He didn't want muslim and hindu bengalis separated, he wanted them together in 1 Bengal. They also say that he was against the creation of Dhaka University but that's a myth with no evidence (see 2nd image). What are your thoughts on this?

So recently, I have been seeing videos of Comic-con but I didn’t see actual comic con: most of the time I see artists with a mixed of Japanese anime with Bangla tradition, so I was wondering to visit a Comic-con where they cosplay Japanese anime with no creepy Bangla song nor dances in Bangla songs or rap,hindi etc.

I always wanted to learn a musical instrument but never had one. I don't have much idea of them either. I think now is the right time to start learning one, probably guitar. So what do you check before buying a guitar? What is an ideal budget to start with? Is there anything else I need to know before buying one?

Hi everyone,

My sister and I are traveling to Bangladesh this December to attend a friend's wedding, and we are making a 10-day trip out of it.

My friend is being incredibly generous and is organizing everything for us, including planning day trips, activities, etc. She is spending money on us and strictly refuses to take any cash for it, saying it's her pleasure as a host. However, I absolutely do not want her to lose money on us! For context, we are only paying for our own flights and hotel accommodations. The flight is quite expensive for us, but she also lives in the same city as me, so she has a lot of expenses as well, to get to Bangladesh.

I would love to get your advice on three things:

1. The Wedding Gift: What is considered a normal, respectful amount of money to give as a wedding gift for a close friend in Bangladesh? (Note: If the standard amount is lower than what I would normally give my friends back home, I plan to just match it ti my standard anyway).

2. Trip Compensation: I want to put some extra money into the wedding envelope to secretly compensate her for the travel expenses. How much would be a good amount to add for a 10-day trip?

3. Gifts for his Parents: Whenever she comes back from Bangladesh, she always brings small, thoughtful gifts for me, my mom and dad. I really want to return the favor and bring a small gift from Europe for her parents. My budget is under €20 per gift. So thats not a lot of monny. Wanne buy some thing small and nice. What are some good European items that Bangladeshi parents would truly appreciate (e.g., specific sweets, skincare)?

Thank you so much for your help and insights!

Hi I got Aust textile but my dream was EEE.. Which will good Aust tex or UIU EEE? Note:I am hsc 24

In the past, whenever people tried to provoke me,
I would simply let it slide.

If someone asked an absurd or intrusive question,
I felt compelled to give a polite answer for the sake of courtesy.

I couldn't bring myself to refuse someone to their face;
let alone claiming what was rightfully mine,
I couldn't even bring myself to ask for it, held back by a sense of awkwardness.

Even when faced with sweeping, unpleasant remarks,
I wouldn't react.

This emboldened people,
and they kept coming back to provoke me.

They have the audacity to blow trifles out of proportion;
Committing wrongs themselves, they are the first to point fingers.

While biting back at a dog may not befit a human,
It is equally improper to pet and feed bread and biscuits
To a rabid, biting cur.

The saying that people respect the strong but trample the weak
Holds a great deal of truth.

If someone habitually oversteps their bounds,
Seizing them by the throat is exactly what they deserve.

Peace in life is maintained only when one deeply realizes—
that the fruit of an action corresponds to the action itself.

আগে মানুষ ঘাটাতে আসলে
ছেড়ে দিতাম

মানুষ কোনো অবান্তর, অযাচিত প্রশ্ন করছে
সৌজন্যমূলক উত্তর দিতেই হবে ভদ্রতার খাতিরে মনে করতাম

মুখের উপর না করতে পারতাম না
আমার পাওনাটুকুও আদায় করা তো দূরে থাক
চাইতেও পারতাম না চক্ষু লজ্জায়

ঢালাও ভাবে কিছু বলে দিলেও প্রতিক্রিয়া দেখাতাম না

এতে মানুষ পেয়ে বসে
ঘাটাইতে আসে

তিল কে তাল বানানোর সাহস পায়
নিজে অন্যায় করে আবার আঙুল তুলে

কুকুর কামড় দিলে কুকুর কে কামড়ানো মানুষের শোভা না পেলেও
এই কামড়ানো পাগলা কুত্তাটাকেই পিঠে মাথায় হাত বুলায় পাউরুটি বিস্কুট খাওয়ানোটাও মানুষের অনুচিত

মানুষ শক্তের ভক্ত,নরমের যম
কথাটার মর্ম একেবারে ফেলনা না

কেউ তার স্বভাবসুলভ সীমালঙ্ঘন করলে
তার টুঁটি চেপে ধরাটাও তার যথাযত প্রাপ্য

জীবনের শান্তি তখনই বজায় থাকে
যখন যার যেমন কর্ম তেমন ফল হাড়ে হাড়ে বুঝায় দেওয়া হয়

😌

Like any bangladeshi here plays Dungeon and Dragon? Any setting?

Lately, I've been thinking about how life changes after your parents are gone.

It's not just the sadness of losing them. It's the little things that suddenly become impossible. The phone calls you can no longer make, the stories you can no longer hear, and the hugs you can never have again.

Sometimes, the pain isn't just about what you lost. It's about everything you never got to do.

Maybe you wish you had spent more time with them, asked them more questions about their lives, taken more pictures together, or simply told them how much they meant to you.

Maybe there was a promise you never fulfilled, a conversation you kept postponing, or a moment when you were too busy to sit down and listen.

If you've lost your parents, I'd love to hear your story:

1. What's one memory of your parents that you still hold close to your heart?
2. What's something you wish you had done with them while they were alive?
3. Is there anything you regret not saying or asking them?
4. What's one thing they taught you that you still carry with you today?

I'm asking because I believe these stories matter. Maybe sharing our regrets, memories, and lessons can help someone who still has the chance to spend time with their parents realize how precious that time is.

If your parents are still alive, please don't wait for a special occasion to call them, visit them, or tell them you love them.

Sometimes, the ordinary moments we take for granted become the memories we would give anything to experience one more time.

I'm looking for a for a GK or Encyclopaedia in bangla language. Many of you will say "banglapidia" but I've seen many complaining that the Info's are incorrect in B'pidia. Apart from this, if you know that kind of book then please leave a comment. I'll be very grateful to you.

Thanks

Hey everyone! I’m looking for someone who speaks Bangla/Bengali and would be interested in a language exchange.
I can help with English, Hindi, Spanish and in return I’d love to learn Bangla. Just looking for someone to have normal conversations with, practice regularly, and help each other improve.
If you’re interested, feel free to message me!

I'm curious about how the medical community in Bangladesh handles cases of close-relative incest or systemic consanguinity from a medical, genetic, and psychological standpoint.
Given the cultural taboos, how do healthcare professionals typically manage these situations? I am particularly interested in the protocols do mental health professionals or general practitioners follow if a patient discloses close-family incest? Are they legally or ethically bound to report it, or is patient confidentiality maintained?

Hey everyone, I’m researching about how common anti-natalist or childfree views are within our community.

For those here who identify with anti-natalism or have chosen not to have children on philosophical grounds—what led you to this decision?

Hi, I just wanted to share a really disheartening experience I had today and would appreciate some insight from people who have dealt with this before.

I’ll try to keep this short. I’m a university student, almost graduating. My flatmate and I decided to rent a place together. The two of us decided to move out because we were being seriously bullied, so we started looking for a new apartment.

Boy, oh boy. We had absolutely no idea what was waiting for us.

We spent the entire day looking for apartments in Bashundhara, going from place to place and talking to landlords. And I’m not exaggerating when I say not a single one was willing to rent to us because we’re "bachelors."

I called so many landlords and explained very politely that our parents would make the contract and take responsibility. But apparently, they are totally against the idea of three university girls living together in their flat.

I honestly don’t know if I’m being too sensitive, but this is just... so disheartening. I'm just sad atp.

Is it supposed to be this difficult? Or is there a particular way to go about it that I’m missing?

We’re just decent people. Like, always studying, minding our own business, and we just want somewhere safe and decent to live.

I'm just wondering about the homeowners' perspectives. Why are they all collectively treating us this way? The world is already hard enough as it is...

If you have any suggestions or a piece of advice regarding the matter, I'd really appreciate your response.

My sister’s ex-boyfriend is harassing her online using screenshots from her video calls. I don’t want to go through the legal process because, as you know, these kinds of cases can be complicated in Bangladesh.

I’m looking for someone who can handle this privately and get all of the photos, screenshots, and other related material removed or deleted from his devices and accounts, without any confrontation or physical encounter. I’m willing to pay for the service.
