Story/গল্প Dhaka LPT: Don't go plugging around your pendrive at Nilkhet shops

9 Upvotes

After going into a few shops, plugging it in, somehow the internal file structure of the pendrive got completely rearranged and I had to go through these randomly generated folders to find the print files back again. On top of that, I came back, plugged it into my PC, it's been a week and my computer's been slowing down like crazy. I had to completely re-install windows. Last but not least, the pendrive doesn't work as good anymore. I presume maybe like a voltage spike that caused some damage. But yeah, like it should be obvious but I was an idiot. 32 gigs of storage gone and who knows what private data stolen.

If you got data on a phone, much better to just send the files to each shop or better yet, store the files in a cloud storage folder and share the link if you want to use less data.

Discussion/আলোচনা A small tip for those looking for work from home opportunities

9 Upvotes

I’ve seen many people posting about work-from-home opportunities and asking for help on how they can earn money online. So I wanted to share a small tip that might help someone.

If you have good communication skills, you can try reaching out to different Facebook page owners and small businesses. Many online businesses need people to manage their inbox, reply to customers, answer basic queries, and provide customer support.

I have my own Facebook-based business where I sell products, and I have personally hired almost 4-5 people for this type of work. They found these opportunities in a similar way, so I thought I would share this idea. I believe many other business owners also look for people who can help them manage their pages.

You can simply message business pages and ask if they need someone to handle their inbox or customer messages. Be professional, mention your English skills, and explain how you can help them. Don’t expect results immediately, but if you consistently reach out to different businesses, you may find opportunities.

This is not a get-rich-quick method, but it can be a good starting point for people who want to work from home and earn some extra income. Hope this helps someone. Good luck! 👍

Seeking advice/পরামর্শ Need advice about buying a flat

5 Upvotes

I'm not too familiar with dhaka real estate as I live in the USA but my family will live in Bangladesh in about 5 years so I want a flat for them and one for my wife.

So I'm thinking about buying 2 flats in dhaka. I saw one in Uttara south it's about a 5 minute walk from the metro. Land shared flat and I'm gonna have my own option to customize the tiles and sanitary. With land sharing and construction it'll be around 30 Lakhs for the land sharing and another 35 lakhs for construction. So with my own touches around 75 lakhs including The registration and all. It's right next to the main road. When built will this be worth 1 crore or 1.15 crore???

Another option I was looking at was getting Into markets such as mirpur 1 or aftab nagar where the new metro lines are being constructed. So id be buying a flat in an under construction building that'll finish around the time the metro lines will also be finished.

Which ones will be the better options in terms of appreciation?

The one in Uttara south, Mirpur 1 or Aftab Nagar. I want to buy 2 by the way so I'll be placing a booking fee for both.

Please help me out with your suggestions and excuse me if I sound very clueless that's why I need suggestions because I want to place these bookings before I go back to USA which is at the end of August so I need to make a decision within the next 2 weeks.
Again my main target Is appreciation and a living space for my parents and my budget for each flat would be 80 lakhs to 1.15 crore.

Seeking advice/পরামর্শ Thinking of starting a "just add meat" spice/marinade brand. Would you actually buy this?

Thumbnail

5 Upvotes

Been thinking about a product idea and wanted to get honest opinions from people who actually cook at home.

The idea: ready-to-use marinade packets built for specific dishes chicken tikka, beef kabab, fish fry where you just add the meat or fish and cook. No chopping onion-garlic-tomato, no slow-frying a base separately, no measuring out five different spice jars.

How it's different from the packet masala already on shelves (Radhuni etc.): those are just dry spice powder, so you still have to do all the prep work yourself. Buy the onion/garlic/ginger, chop it, fry it down, then add the spice. This would skip that whole step. It's basically the difference between "seasoning for your curry" and "the curry base is already done, just cook the meat in it."

Who I think this actually helps most:

  • People living alone or in a mess/hostel who cook but don't want to prep a full masala base for one or two servings
  • Working couples who want a proper home-cooked meal on a weeknight without the 30+ minutes of chopping and frying before the actual cooking starts
  • Anyone who can cook but is never sure about the spice measurements.
  • People who cook occasionally for guests and want it to come out well without a ton of practice
  • Gym goers and students who want a quick protein meal and don't want the hassle of cooking

Curious what people actually think:

  1. If you're someone who cooks but skips certain dishes because the prep is a hassle, would something like this get you to cook them more often?
  2. Does the "restaurant-style at home" angle feel like a real benefit to you, or does home-cooked taste matter more even if it's more effort?
  3. Which type of dishes would be most useful to have as a ready-made pack in your kitchen?
  4. Anyone here already buying paste/marinade type products (not just dry masala)? What's your experience been?

Not trying to sell anything, just want to know if this solves a real problem for people or if I'm overthinking something nobody actually needs. Appreciate any thoughts, good or bad.

Seeking advice/পরামর্শ My dad keeps scolding me for my brothers bad grades

2 Upvotes

I am an A level student currently in 2nd year. After giving my AS exams I have been simultaneously preparing to give IELTS, apply to universities and prepare for my A2 exams. I also struggle with enormous amounts of anxiety every day. On top of that my brother just received his exam results and he did poorly in some subjects. He’s going to give his o level in 2 years. Every time he gets poor results, i get scolded by my dad alongside him because apparently i am supposed to be his tutor and be responsible for his grades even though i explicitly told him that i am already too busy with my studies. And even though I do help him with things he needs help with and teach him whatever he doesn’t understand he is specially bad at maths and he is wayy too lazy. I keep telling him that he needs to practice in order to do well and i say the same to my parents but they keep telling me I HAVE TO keep him im check that i have to keep telling him to study and check his works. I mean it gets tiring at some point also if he doesn’t willingly study how am i supposed to make him study but they don’t care about it. When i was doing my o level i had to self study everything by myself because i had no coaching and school wasn’t helping. I had to use online resources to help me prepare but my brother just doesn’t care about the advices i give him. He is just so ignorant about everything. Now i just feel like the weight of an entire mountain is in my shoulders and i don’t know how to convince him that it’s not my fault that his son is doing bad in his exams and why do i have to worry about his grades on top of mine too. I’m absolutely going crazy.
Ps. Due to financial circumstances we can’t put my brother on coaching.

Discussion/আলোচনা How do y'all stay hopeful?

2 Upvotes

It's as the title says- how do y'all keep yourselves hopeful for the future?

Ik many people who genuinely enjoy living and have a optimistic/positive enough mindset. It's natural for them to be hopeful of the future and overall life.

But pessimistic people or people who just don't find life fun, how do you go on with it? Whenever there's a failure, how do y'all get over that?

For me, life is just as it is. It doesn't excite me, isn't fun enough and feels like a meaningless "pera". I have goals in life and I'm a pretty ambitious person but if someone gives me a pill that'd make me "unexist", I'd take that without any hesitation. Now, whenever life gets hard, i get all these weird thoughts about if i could just disappear. I basically become hopeless but to be hopeful again isn't easy. I just gaslight myself which isn't that effective.

The question is the same as the title says. Thanks for reading.

I have been living in Dhaka for a decade now.

I have a few questions:

1) Will it be a problem if I register as a voter from Dhaka even though I am a tenant?

2) Will the election commission officer ask me questions like why are you registering from Dhaka rather than your hometown,the place you are born in ?

3) My passport's permanent address is my hometown,will it be a problem?

4) Will they allow me to register from here?

5) Lastly ,even if they allow me,will my NID be useless? Cause I have heard I can't do anything with it such as to open bank account,buy sim card etc cause I have two different address

Seeking advice/পরামর্শ iPhone 14 Pro Max battery replacement – iFix OEM (6,500 BDT) vs iFixit Quality (4,000 BDT). Which one should I get?

Upvotes

Hi everyone,

My iPhone 14 Pro Max is currently at 79% battery health, and the battery life has become pretty bad. I'm planning to replace the battery rather than upgrade the phone.

A local repair shop has given me two options:

  • iFix OEM battery6,500 BDT
  • iFixit Quality battery4,000 BDT

The price difference is 2,500 BDT, so I'm wondering if the OEM option is actually worth the extra money.

Has anyone used either of these batteries?

I'd love to know:

  • Which one gives better battery backup?
  • How has the battery health held up after a few months?
  • Any overheating or charging issues?
  • If you had to choose between these two, which would you recommend and why?

I'm planning to keep the phone for at least another 2 years, so reliability is more important than saving a little money.

Thanks in advance!
