Meet Purna, the new generation’s keeper of Old Dhaka (opens the original)
Read excerpt
At a time when the past can feels increasingly distant, Maliha Masharat Hossain Purna is bringing old Dhaka’s colours, stories, and traditions to a new generation. My impression of Generation Z is that they move through the world with a cultural and historical amnesia. Their online culture, behaviours, and values are constantly refreshing and prioritising what’s trending or visually striking. In that rhythm, yesterday’s post is already forgotten, last year’s event feels ancient, and national his
Gas bills paid, cylinders bought, dinner still pending (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A trivial thought keeps pestering me like a mosquito on a humid Dhaka night -- how many burners does a kitchen actually boast, and why does it feel like the answer might upend my peace of mind? For most of my life, I survived on a humble two‑burner gas stove. Now, somehow, I’ve ended up with a motley parade of fancy contraptions -- some gleaming in tip‑top condition, others rusting away in forgotten corners of my store. My old‑styled house does not have the functional kitchens of modern interior
Afternoon of friendship and new beginnings (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Goodverse Foundation is reshaping Dhaka’s social landscape with a festival for seniors that is less about charity and more about companionship. When the invite landed, I felt joy and relief -- finally, a way to keep my 79‑year‑old teenage mother’s energy channelled. Dhaka has long needed to treat its elders with meaning. To label them “retired” and consign them to neglect and silence is cruel, especially when the age gap between my mother and me is so narrow; if you know what I mean. So, when Go
Old Dhaka kabab joints: Where faith meets flavour (opens the original)
Read excerpt
So today I met the gentlest man in Dhaka -- and I’m not exaggerating. In Bangla we call such a soul “mati’r manush”: more than a man moulded by earth, it honours humility, humanity, and the rare gift of connecting without ego. That’s exactly what I felt with Javed Warsi of Arsalan Nihari and Kabab Corner on Dhakeshwari Road. Though a partner in the business, his warmth and effortless manner carried the generosity that makes Old Dhaka’s lanes feel like home. I’d heard of Arsalan for years but onl
Louhajang: The sweet capital of greater Dhaka (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Today I take my Dhaka readers on a sugar‑high day trip into the greater Dhaka region; our stop is Louhajang upazila in present‑day Munshiganj, historically known as Bikrampur. Greater Dhaka encompasses multiple metropolitan districts while metro Dhaka is the dense administrative city core. Louhajang’s charm, blending ancient riverine diets, Pala dynasty traditions, and rich Mughal‑Persian influences -- extends far beyond hilsa. Many of you may have taken the expressway for hilsa at old Mawa or S
