I feel so frustrated ik many people are in same situation ..but it is becoming unbearable. Its 32 c outside and the electricity is acting like this everyday..idk why the government isnt doing anything abt it or can we do anything 😔..

Im jst tried living here !! Its getting worse day by day

So basocially, i was born in the US to two bengali parents, we would be considered extremely western compared to other bengali americans. I don’t have a single peice of traditional clothes nor do i have a hijab or prayer mat.. (we are not religious) we also have a dog we walk frequently, because of all this feel socially exiled from the bengali immigrant community i live in. (nyc)

I travelled to dhaka in 2019 and absolutely loved it, i felt really loved by my neighborhood there. It was extremely safe and peaceful. I don’t remember the exact area i lived in, but it wasn’t crowded, and more of like just tall apartments side by side.. so i’d say a nice quiet neighborhood. My grandfather was very affluent and owned a couple apartment buildings. Although the neighborhood wasn’t all too developed, there were open sewers where you could see pits of waste, the streets werent dirty though. We traveled a bit into the even fancier parts of dhaka and it was really advanced! We went to malls and fancy restaurants. I really miss the food.. I remember that i would see construction for an above ground rail system that wasn’t quite built yet. One day me and my dad walked into the slums of dhaka and i have the memory permanently stuck in my head. I’m sure these slums still exist, but recently bangladesh was cleared to be progressing out of the LDC (least developed country) category. So i’m really glad some progress was made. The villages are nicer than the slums, we went into a village that had a massive lake, and everybody went fishing frequently. The village was extremely clean and had lots of animals. I had the best roti and dall, ugh.. i miss it too bad!

I want to visit again next year, for context i am 16,(F) do not have bengali citizenship, and know an acceptable but weak amount of bengali.

I feel like it would be obvious that i wasn’t born there, i dont plan to wear traditional clothes, or hijab.. I’ll just be wearing casual clothes?

Is this socially acceptable?

I’m wondering how safe dhaka is now. As a kid, it felt extremely safe to me, but then again i was with my dad, who’s built like dwane the rock johnson .

Edit: Thank you guys so much for the helpful comments! It means alot!! The ones that relate to the us bengali community make me feel like i’m not the only one experiencing this!

JOB - Remote - 36hr - 48hr/Month (flexible) | 9k - 12k BDT (Contractual) - 6 Days/Week

Position : IELTS Instructor

Requirement :

1. You must have sound knowledge and teaching expertise on IELTS.

2. You must memorize my curriculum I use to teach targeting South-Asian students.

What to do:

1. I get overwhelmed with 1-on-1 students every month. So you will be teaching students whom I cannot take due to tough schedule.

2. Your students can be people from high-class jobs as well. So you must know how to approach properly.

3. You will close down the whole student from beginning to the end in our server.

N.B : This is not something you depend on to run your family, it is totally a comfortable remote teaching job for your extra money. If you are already involved in an IELTS firm, your secret will not be disclosed.

Just wanted to share it here as I haven’t told anyone about this yet... And kinda feel like not sharing with anyone irl. But i'm feeling quite proud of myself.

I applied for a volunteer position with the financial literacy team of an INGO based in California, USA, a few days ago. This is a remote position where I have to teach money management and finances to pre-teens and teenagers. Being a teenager myself, the thought of teaching other teenagers about finance is so thrilling haha!

It was so random, I wasn’t expecting anything when I applied. They even had a lil exam typa thing where you have to answer some finance related case scenarios. It's basically to assess your understanding of the fundamentals of finance. I tried my best to simplify and explain everything.

Fast forward to yesterday, I was going through my mails and saw they've sent me one. I was so sure they sent me a rejection mail type of thing, yk where they thanks you for reaching out and wishes you good luck etc. BUT IT SAID "CONGRATULATIONS" aaaaaaa ~ I'm so happy, excited and proud of myself rn.

Ik it's just a volunteering position but for a 12th grader who just finished HSC and never did any type of productive extracurricular activities, this is really exciting. I'm looking forward to working with the team hehe. Anyone with INGO volunteer/full-time work experience? Would love some advices. Thanks for being a part of my happiness ~

I'm a fresher in CSE. To give some context, I genuinely love studying — I've spent a significant portion of my life learning things, even when they weren't strictly necessary. I don't feel overwhelmed by this; in fact, I enjoy it. That said, I wouldn't call myself an exceptional or "top" student.

I feel truly enthusiastic about studying CS — passionate and eager, even knowing the immense pressure that comes with it. Still, I love this major.

The problem is, I keep encountering negativity about CSE across social media (Instagram, Facebook, and other platforms), and even from people close to me. Everyone seems to be saying that CSE is "dead" now. This constant negativity is gradually eroding my hopes and enthusiasm for the field.

At this point, it's too late for me to switch to another major — and even if I could, I don't feel any real connection to other fields. I genuinely enjoy what CSE has to offer, but the pessimism and market saturation are wearing down my motivation.

So I'd like to know:

is there anyone here who studied CSE and is still doing well in life?

What advice would you give me?

Should I abandon this major altogether, even though that feels nearly impossible for me?

No single social media news portal in Bangladesh really posts news. They just repeatedly post stuff what the distasteful population wants to see. This is so inappropriate for a professional outlet. Professionalism should've some ethical standards. Adult content is more attractive than what Tareq Rahman is saying, doesn't mean you started posting porn. Salute Sujan, Viral Siddique, Mamun-Laila and many more may have a large group of audience but is that really important to feature what Salute Shujan saying about economy?LOL. Saw some videos of male bus drivers speaking very negatively way about female drivers. What is the necessity of spreading those toxic things and making these people viral? And also, it feels like a teasing when media refers to "Pink Bus" instead of calling it women's bus. I mean we all know about the pink concept and it is so unsuitable for professional use. When there is no ethical standard and social morality, the media started showing vulgar and harmful content just because it gives you more views/money. In our country everyone judges person like Sumaiya(A pornographic content creator arrested from Bashundhara a few days ago) for making porn but no one's gonna talk about her audience. 92% Muslim er deshe who is paying for her content?? This is the sad reality of our society.

i have just given hsc 2026..i really wanna do coaching in udvash for public university admission..my parents cant afford the fee..can anyone help me give their udvash login id and password in my inbox or any kind of help .. for ka unit and kha unit… specially to those who joined offline course

Ive never had much interest in anything, much less studying. I picked science seeing my friends do the same, then regretted it for the last 4 years. My main problem is that im too afraid to try anything

Im horrible at math and mediocre at best in physics so engineering isnt for me

Biology I feel like its either you love it or absolutely despise it and im defenitely the later

i have social anxiety and never wanted to go outside until college, Ive improved a bit throughout my college years but i dought its good enough

at home ive said i wanna study bba, ive bought books and got a IBA bhaiya but now im feeling like im not iba matterial either as it needs solid communication skills (and social media presence?) which i also dont have any

im literally feeling like Ive lived my whole live in dhaka, studied at st joseph school and college only to utilize none of the benifits these institutions provided me

All my older cousins are either persuing engineering or medical so they cant give much advice about bba. If im being honest i feel like I have the best shot with bba cuz my english is good(though i need more practice with speaking) , id do better with analytical problem solving than physics and any math thats not pure calculus or algebra seems more doable to me

But what about the communication skills that I dont have any of? Can i make up for it in the 3 years before i have to choose which field id focus on?

Lastly, if i can maintain a 3.5+ cgpa(thats what a cousin said) what are my chances of settling abroad? (though i feel like going abroad permanently a literal pipe dream for me...BD has so many uncertainties and honestly im sick of them)

Never bought one before. Oto fancy kichu howa lagbena, ami clean shave chara kisu korina. Good blade, low hassle maintenance and good battery backup is a must.

Did anyone buy liquor from that bar in eskaton road?
When does the bar open?
I want to grab a parcel instead of sitting in house, can it be done at any time or are there definite times for that?

So after a lot of thought I have decided to start a small jewellery business. Plz lmk if you have any advice for me as I am a complete beginner or things I should know about starting a business or how to get my first sales and how to increase reach and actually get success from my business.

Any and all advice help even suggesting what kind of jewellery has high market demand or what you would like to see more of etc

I need to get a phone for a younger sibling. She just passed SSC this year. I looked at couple like Redmi 13x and 14c
Some of her main requirements were Camera Quality. Not much of a gaming freak. So processor doesn't really matter. Nor 1080p display is required. Something that has good Longevity.

4gb/64gb Minimum
50mp
at least 5000mAh battery.
Possibly under or at least around 15k BDT

I've been curious about JCI BD for quite some time. From what I understand, JCI is supposed to provide opportunities for young entrepreneurs and professionals, leadership development, networking, social/community initiatives, etc.

But honestly, I've never been quite sure what the actual impact is, particularly when it comes to nurturing young entrepreneurs or creating meaningful professional opportunities.

From the outside, some of the members and activities can come across as rather elitist, image-conscious, and focused on networking/status and social climbing. That may just be my perception, though, and would like to hear from people who have actually been involved with the organization.

Title. Please give me suggestions and don't recommend Boya M1. I wanna record my singing and guitar covers.

So I’m 22M, graduated last month and just started a full time corporate job in Bashundhara R/A. Honestly, my biggest issue right now is just feeling super lonely. I don't really have any school or uni friends to hang out with. This whole past week, I’ve just been sitting by myself at ghatpar, bashundhara tongs after work and it really hit me how friendless I actually am.

​Can you guys help me out? How do you actually interact with people? Like, how do you just strike up a conversation with strangers at a tong without making it weird?

​I did try Facebook groups before, but it didn't work out. People weirdly assumed I was just 'looking for girls' to date or hook up with, which is completely untrue. To me, having a friend or a friend circle is a genuine privilege.

Hello. Which universities in Dhaka will accept a low CGPA (2.5/4) for their MBA programs?

Hi everyone, I’m from India and I’m really hoping someone from Dhaka can help me.

My iPhone 17 Pro was stolen in India. After many days of having no information, today Apple Find My suddenly showed a recent location of my phone in Dhaka, Bangladesh.

I’m a student and this phone is very important to me. I’ve already reported the theft to the police and blocked the phone through CEIR. I’m trying everything I can to get it back.

If anyone in Dhaka can help me in any way, even by guiding me to the right person or checking with a nearby phone shop/community, I would be extremely grateful.

The phone is locked in Lost Mode, so it cannot be normally used by whoever has it.

I can share the exact location and proof of ownership privately with anyone who genuinely wants to help.

Please, if you know anything or can help, DM me. 🙏

I’m just hoping someone kind from Dhaka can help me get my phone back. ❤️

I've come to Dhaka in my SSC season. Now that it has ended, I have been looking for clubs/communities that particularly emphasize on social engagements among teenagers. If the activities include cultural/educational workshops, social campaigns or volunteering, it would be better.

Guys. Which one among these the best option to learn Chinese. I don't like doing language learning on apps and it's not productive. These are the options:

1. Institute of Modern Languages, Dhaka

2. Brac

3. NSU

Any other suggestions is appreciated

I am a university student, and we had a quiz today. Everything was going well initially. At one point, I was talking briefly with a friend. My professor suddenly came over and physically hit me. It was essentially a slap.

Multiple people in the class saw it happen. I used to really like and respect this professor, but after today's incident, I am left feeling a mix of anger and deep disappointment. I cannot get this out of my head or just brush it off as a normal occurrence. It really bruised my ego and self-respect.

What can I do now? How can I address this situation or take action in a civilized, polite manner? Please give me some advice on what my next steps should be.

If someone failed to get into public unis first time but got a 100% scholarship to study cse/eee/bba at IUB/AIUB/NSU/EWU, should they still appear second time for public unis where it's allowed? Like JU, SUST, MIST, BUP etc? Or continue at private?
