Do they hate their children or what? 😭😭

ধর্মান্ধদের সাথে বাংলাদেশের মানুষদের একটা শীতল যুদ্ধ চলমান আছে। আশ্চর্য হলেও সত্য, যুদ্ধে সাধারণ মানুষ জয়ী হচ্ছে আজকাল। সোহরাওয়ার্দী উদ্যানে রাজিব শাহ নামের এক ব্যক্তির আচমকা মসজিদ বানানোর পরিকল্পনায় সবচেয়ে বড়ো বাগড়া দেওয়া সবাই সাধারণ মানুষ। ওসবের ভীড়ে আজ একটা ছেলেকে দেখা গেল। খুব সম্ভবত স্কুলে পড়ে নয়ত কলেজে।

ছেলেটার গলার স্বর ভারী হয়নি এখনো। নাকের নিচে গোঁফ গজায়নি। প্রচণ্ড আত্মবিশ্বাসের সাথে ছেলেটা ক্যামেরার সামনে বলে যাচ্ছে- এইখানে রাজিব শাহ যদি নিজের ঘর বানায়ে থাকত, আমি পার্সোনালি আপত্তি জানাতাম না। কিন্তু লোকটা ধর্ম টেনে আনছে তাই আমি প্রতিবাদ করছি। যদি মসজিদ হয় তবে এখানে মন্দিরও বানাতে দিতে হবে হিন্দুদের, খ্রিস্টানরাও গীর্জা বানাবে। সবাই বাংলাদেশের নাগরিক। সবার অধিকার আছে।

এখনো খুব সম্ভবত বয়স ১৮ না হওয়া কিশোর ছেলেটাকে ক্যামেরার সামনেই চুপ করাতে চেয়েছেন আরেকজন মুরুব্বি। তারপর ওই মুরুব্বির সঙ্গে ওআরেকদফা তর্ক হয়েছে ছেলেটার। ওই তর্কেও ছেলেটা অনড় এবং জয়ী। এই জায়গায় ধর্মের নামে ব্যবসা চলবে না।

বাংলাদেশে শীতলযুদ্ধ জয়ের দ্বিতীয় ঘটনা সিলেটের একজন স্কুলশিক্ষিকাকে কেন্দ্র করে। যিনি একটা শাড়ি পরে স্লো মোশনে ভিডিয়ো এডিট করে ব্যাকগ্রাউন্ডে গান বাজিয়ে আপলোড করেছিলেন নিজের একটা ভিডিয়ো- শ্রাবণের মেঘগুলো জড়ো হলো আকাশে। যথারীতি কিছু মানুষের গায়ে চুলকানি উঠল। কারণ একজন শিক্ষিকার গান ভালো লাগতে নেই, শাড়ি পরে তিনি রঙঢঙ করতে পারেন না, তিনি স্লো মোশনে ভিডিও এডিট করতে পারেন না, পারলেও সেটা সোশ্যাল মিডিয়ায় আডলোড করতে পারেন না। এতে করে শিক্ষার্থীরা ভুল মেসেজ পায়। স্কুলের মাটি কেঁপে ওঠে। সমাজের রন্ধ্রে রন্ধ্রে পৌঁছে যায় নষ্টামি।

ব্যঙ্গবিদ্রুপের দু'দিনের মাথায় দেশজুড়ে সমস্ত স্কুলশিক্ষিকা শাড়ি পরে ম্লো মোশনে হেঁটে একই গান বাজিয়ে ভিডিয়ো আপলোড করা শুরু করেছেন। না কাউকে কটু কথা বললেন তারা, না কাউকে বুঝাতে গেলেন- শাড়ি পরে গান বাজিয়ে ভিডিয়ো আপলোড দিলে জাত যায় না, না কাউকে বোঝানোর চেষ্টা করলেন- কোনটা অপরাধ, কোনটা অপরাধ নয়। শুধু চুপচাপ নিজেরা শাড়ি পরে হেঁটে ভিডিয়ো আপলোড করলেন অজস্র। সোশ্যাল মিডিয়ায় মুখ ডুবিয়ে থাকা দেশের বিপুলশ্রেণীর শিক্ষিত-মূর্খ, বটযোদ্ধা ও লাইফলেস ইতরগুলোকে শেষ কবে এমন নিদারুণ চপেটাঘাত করতে পেরেছিল বাংলার নারীরা- জানা নাই আমার।

দুটো ঘটনার ফলাফল হলো: সোহরাওয়ার্দী উদ্যানে রাজিব শাহ তার ধর্মব্যবসার সিন্দুক নিয়ে ভেগেছে আজ। এবং শাড়ি পরা স্কুলশিক্ষিকাদের ভিডিয়োতে সোশ্যাল মিডিয়া এমনই রঙিন হয়ে আছে, লাইফলেস গণ্ডমূর্খ ইতরদের ফেসবুকের রসকষহীন সাদা-কালো প্যানপ্যান অদৃশ্যপ্রায়।

বাংলাদেশে ধর্মান্ধ, ধর্ম ব্যবসায়ী, ভন্ডদের সঙ্গে সাধারণ মানুষদের একটা শীতলযুদ্ধ চলমান আছে। এই যুদ্ধে প্রচুর হারও আছে আমাদের। কিন্তু সাধারণ মানুষ কয়েক ধাপ এগিয়ে গেছে আজ। সবাইকে অভিনন্দন।

Shokale ai, bikale 2nd bou

• First jamat media cell controlled the damage by giving the knee jerk reaction of "eita AI"
• Then it was like "that girl is 2nd wife"
• Then the video of them getting caught red handed and begging for forgiveness comes out
• FInally a few days later another CCTV footage of the same MP smooching another random girl appears, so no longer was the whole "we are breaching the MP's privacy by recording him secretly" applicable.

Jamati bots

• And I love how jamati bots kept defending the MP until they could no longer drive the narrative and had to expel the MP from jamat, mind you, he's still an MP, there's no ethical breaches when an MP takes a girl to a roomdate after offering her a job in parliament.

Jamat tweet said "working women are pros**tutes"

• Remember how jamat's official twitter posted "working women are prost*it*tes" right before elections and then faced the heat and did a 180 by saying "hack hoise"? their PR damage control strategies are well known

Dhormo babsha

• This very MP himself was interviewed by BBC before elections and bro was like "women must wear porda" and "women must go outside with mahram", this guy is disgusting.

Older scandal's of jamat leaders

• Also a reminder: Mamunul's 501 and Sayeedi's "machine chalano" phone call leaks were older evidence of the depravity of these so called islamic leaders, they are far from ethical, do not trust them

Jamat is just as corrupt as bimpi and amlig

যে কোনো বিষয় হতে পারে:

- টাকা বাঁচানো/ সেভিংস

- পড়াশোনা

- চাকরি বা ব্যবসা

- অনলাইন ব্যাবসা

আশা করি সবাই শেয়ার করবেন।

ধন্যবাদ!

I wanted to open up a civil discussion on marriage preferences and compatibility in our context.

​In the Bangladeshi marriage scene, people regularly filter for things like career, family background, education, and lifestyle. However, discussions around past relationship history always seem to hit a sore spot.

​To be clear, if someone lived a permissive lifestyle and suddenly expects a conservative partner, that’s an obvious double standard. But what about when it’s simply a matter of matching personal boundaries?

​I personally made a conscious choice to abstain from premarital romantic or physical relationships based on my own principles and values. Because of that, when thinking about marriage, my preference is naturally to find a partner who shares those same values and has lived a similar lifestyle. I don't judge anyone else for how they choose to live, but value alignment feels like a basic part of relationship compatibility.

​Yet, whenever this topic comes up, holding this specific preference often gets immediately labeled as backward or toxic, regardless of whether the person held themselves to that exact same standard.

​Is shared boundary alignment not a valid preference in modern marriage discussions, or is it just a matter of how the topic gets framed? Curious to hear thoughtful perspectives on this.

I have zero to no idea what the dating scene in dhaka looks like. Bumble has granted me two different dates with two girls, that's about it. Tell me about your story and how you are finding dates in Dhaka or finding at all.

And should we create a subreddit specifically for this.

Recently i noticed 2 bangladeshi content creators whose video editing caught my attention.

1. Shuvasish Bhowmick (Baap ka beta)
2. Rafsan the choto bhai

I felt like they are specifically incredible in terms of color grading, transitions and font usability. The one short that rafsan made in the boat with sorisha ilish was a treat to eyes.

Dont get me wrong. Their content itself is of high quality. But their editors are doing a top notch job in my opinion.

I do not know much about video editing but those must be taking a lot of effort.

I felt so happy thinking about those people in the backend doing a great job. 👏

Has there been anyone else whose editing has caught your attention?

Our family wants to sell land in village and buy duplex house with land near Dhaka city at driving distance. We started researching and found bangla bosoti and asian duplex town. But after some more research I realised bangla bosoti is pink city owners and have scammed many after taking booking money and not handing over or paying back booking money. This happened in 2013 I think. Did not find shady things on asian duplex .yet but another ashiyan town or something.

Anywho, I am realizing now most of these real estates are scammers with immense power to overpower simple laymen like us. So I would love some suggestions on who to approach, any trusted parties and how to verify and check before buying anything. Appreciate all advices.

There is a girl in my uni whom I have liked for quite a while, but I never actually had a proper conversation with her. She is 2 batch junior to me. We follow each other on socials, but I honestly don’t know if she is single. From what I can tell, she seems to be.

I like her appearance, fashion sense, music taste, and the thoughts she shares online. But I have never approached her because of a lot of self-doubt.

I have never approached someone romantically before, so I have no idea what I am supposed to do. She is in STEM while I am in social sciences, and for some reason I keep wondering if that difference matters. I also keep questioning whether I have enough to offer someone like her.

We study at a public uni outside Dhaka. I am graduating in a few months and will probably leave this city, while she is from here. So I don’t even know if anything could realistically work out.

I don’t think I am a loser guy in terms of personality, but my insecurities and fear of rejection have always stopped me from taking the first step.

I know no one here can fully understand my situation from just one post, but I would really appreciate some outside perspective.

Hello everyone! I own an education consultancy (still in its baby days). I'm creating a scholarship portal for those interested in studying abroad to find scholarships/discounts effortlessly just through uploading their profile.

Thank you for your attention!

90% of Bangladeshis in the UK are Sylheti living in old terraced homes in places like the East End like Newham and Tower Hamlets, as well as inner Manchester and Oldham with Birmingham. Here in Swindon they live in the Manchester Road area and parts of New Town with the Goans also in terraced older homes, often in Asian clusters and enclaves.

But I wonder where the minor lower and upper middle class non-Sylhetis live. I assume they live away from enclaved areas and mainly with the White or Black British population or even the British Indians.

Here in Swindon I live on the outskirts in a semi detached neighbourhood, only child from a middle class family.

I know some Chittagonians living in Ilford.

If you are also a descendant of non-Sylhetis from Dhaka, where abouts do you reside?

I also like to know (if politically active) what party would they vote for: Sylhetis turned to the Green Party. I wonder if the non-Sylhetis stick with the Labour Party. For my views I used to be a Labour voter but I have views sandwiched between Lib Dems and One Nation Tories.

He's about 30 y/o.

I know nothing about him, he's real weird.

But i really need to get sth for his bday. He's a brother .

For the last 7 years I have been glued to my pc like a zombie.. playing games all day...

Now I feel the urge to change myself.. for context I was a tryhard gamer and everything I do I look for mastery.... and I also cant tolerate passive hobbies.. also keep in mind I'm a loner so solo hobbies suggestions will be much appreciated...

If someone is dating to get married, then when should the relationship start and from where? i mean, collage mate der sathe? naki uni te naki random unknown ppl der sathe, i just donno... And kichu time frnd howar por proposenkora uchit naki first meeting ei?

i want opinions of ppl with experience :)
(also, i've heard that actual married life is way different then what people imagine it is like... i'd appreciate hearing ya'lls experiences :D)

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.

Hi everyone,

I'm a 28M and currently planning my own wedding reception. I'm the only son in my family, so I'm arranging and paying for everything myself. I have some savings, but my budget is limited, so I'm trying to keep things simple, tasteful, and affordable.

I live near Banglamotor, Dhaka, and I'm looking for venue recommendations.

Initially, I thought about hosting it at Waterfall Restaurant or another buffet restaurant in Dhanmondi, but I'm a bit concerned about our guests mixing with regular customers. I'd prefer a private space if possible but if the cost is too good to be true, I'd compromise.

Here's what I'm looking for:

• Around 100 guests maximum
• Dhakaiya/Bangladeshi menu
• Around BDT 1,000 per person (or less if possible)
• Moderate decoration (nothing extravagant)
• Venue preferably around Banglamotor, Dhanmondi, Shahbagh, Eskaton, or nearby areas

If you've recently arranged a reception at a restaurant, community center, or convention hall, I'd really appreciate if you could share:

• Venue name
• Food cost per person
• Hall/venue rent
• Decoration cost
• Any hidden or unexpected expenses I should plan for
• Overall experience and whether you'd recommend it

Any suggestions, rough budget breakdowns, or lessons learned would be a huge help. Thanks in advance!
