    Hands-on with the Robot Phone: What will you think of next, Honor? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Phones rarely surprise you anymore. Displays get brighter, processors get faster, and cameras gain another round of megapixels. But within seconds of picking up the Honor Robot Phone at Honor Connect in Dhaka, it was obvious that this was not another conventional flagship. What initially looks like an unusually large camera module hides a motorised gimbal arm carrying the phone’s main camera. Slide open the protective cover, activate the camera, and the lens physically rises out of the phone. It

    Xuanzang’s travels to Bengal and beyond : The man, the pilgrim and the Monkey King (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    The Economist Intelligence Unit recently ranked Dhaka 171st among 173 cities in its 2026 Global Liveability Index, only ahead of the Libyan capital Tripoli and Damascus in Syria. Dhaka scored 42 out of 100 overall and just 27 for infrastructure—its weakest category by some distance. But no one needs an index to tell us what’s wrong with Dhaka. We live it every day, and Dhaka’s unliveability is simply undeniable. Against this grim backdrop, Rajdhani Unnayan Kartripakkha (Rajuk) is reportedly prep
