In conversation with Gobinda Basak: A life woven in crafts (opens the original)
Read excerpt
“Click – Clack” – bobbin flies back and forth through the threads. It is the soundtrack of a home in Pathrail Union, Tangail, where weaving is still part of everyday life. A little later, Gobinda Basak appears with a warm smile, and around him are the signs of a trade that has shaped not only his livelihood but his sense of identity. For Basak, weaving is not simply something one learns to earn money. It is something inherited, practised, modified and passed through generations. “This is our pro
Weavers and the human cost of Tangail tant (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A Tangail saree can pass through many hands before it reaches the buyer who eventually unfolds it across a shop counter. There is yarn to source, a design to choose, a loom to prepare, a trader to finance the production, another to take it to market, and finally a retailer who gives the finished product its price tag.

Rising inflation: Is the middle class the new poor? (opens the original)

For chef Infiter Islam, however, bread can be much more than a supporting item on the table. “My family is very health-conscious. They do not eat outside food. So, they eat everything homemade,” says Islam. That interest became more serious when she attended culinary school in Dubai, graduating at the end of 2024. There, she noticed how central brea
The Dolly Parton we will remember (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There are celebrities we admire for their talent, and then there are people we develop an affection for even though we have never met them. Dolly Parton belonged firmly to the second category. Her death, on 25 August 2026, at the age of 80, feels strangely personal. Perhaps that is because Dolly never seemed interested in maintaining the distance normally associated with superstardom. For someone so immediately recognisable, with the towering blonde hair, rhinestones, unapologetic glamour and un
